Probably the ontire presa of
thuState have had soan'tliin^:
to say regarding the Local Op
tion Liquor Iatw and what is
known uh; the drunken act.
We seen great many squibs
similar to this; "Intemperance
seems to be on the increase in
many of our Texas towns, and
the enforcement of the new law
against it promises to give the
local ofHcsrs plenty of work"—
and this*, "Several of our young
men, whose parents are among
our most respectable citizens,
have recently been several
times before the Mayot for
drunkenness. One was locked
in the calaboose on Tuesday
night, and yesterday morning
fined 117.50. This is very hu
railiating to the friends of these
young men, aud must bow the
heads of their parents with
shame, and crush, their hearts
with anguish."
In spme respects we think the
Legislature have done well in
passing these laws to punish
drunkenness, but do not Jthink
their intention was to "bounce"
a fellow who happens to get a
little sprung, but the man who
gets down, unable to walk or
talk coherently.
Below we give the laws as
gassed by the last Legislature
regarding drunkenness, improp-
er language, conduct Ac.
Chaptsb XXYIIl.—Section
1. Be it enactrd by the Legis-
lature of the State vf Texas,

ter 8 of the Penal Code be so

gar or indecent talking, or by
swearing or cursing, or by ex-
posing his person, or by rudely
displaying any pistol or other
deadly weapon in such public

Governor Hubbard's Inaugu-
ral Address.
An Exciting Personal Alterca-
tion—Sin. ts Exchanged at
Fort Worfli.
On the first inst Hon. Rich-
ard Qoke, Governor of the State,
resigned his office and is now
U. S. Senator from Texas.
Lieut. Governor R. B. Hub-
bard. under the Constitution be-
comes Governor. In assuming
that honorable and important
position Mr. Hubbard, in his
Inaugural address to the people
of the State says; * * * *
"l recdtfnla^ fellow-dtlzeiu, tlw'high
responsibility now linpowxl upon me—a
trust demanding the moet devoted patriot*
Um, and a broad and liberal ibitcwnau-
•Mp, guided always by an Inflexible ju -
tlce wblch knows.neither Mend iiof foe.
I do not lay claim to all these high quail'
ties, so rarely combined In mortal man,
but in earliest love and devotion to the
honor and Interest of Texas, during a citi-
zenship of more than a quarter of a oi-iil u-
ry, I do claim to be tho peer of any other
sons, whether among living ootcnipora-
rles or sleeping with her honore dead.

make for the future, as I have violated, 1
tniKt, no pledges In the past; yet, fellow-
dtlzens, while claiming no exemption
from the IruilUcs of passion or the lnflrin-
lUes of human judgicent, I ueverthi'lem
declare to you, on the thrvihold of my ail-
niluUlratlon, that I shall have no tri«nds
to reward and no enemies to punish In
the offlclul discharge of t he great trusi
which devolves upon me. In this spirit,
which knows no sectional lines, I greet
my fellow-cltusen*.
Acknowledging the fact that
the*official acts of an officer are
fit subjects for discussion and
criticism and asking to be up-
held only when in the path of
duty, he says;—
"It is not the tlm* nor Is this tin occa-
sion to discuss questions of titate policy.
1 take the reins oi government its Uiey are
handed to me by my predecessor, and 1
am responsible only for the fnlthfnl exc-
cuUon of the laws as they are given to mo
by the legislative power which made
them. If I shall hold the former with a
steady ham), and discharge the latter obli-
gation with justice and Impartiality to all
sccUous of the great State, I shall be sutl -
flcd to test my labors here in llie public
service with the calm judgement of my
countrymen.*'
He does not think an extra
session of the I^egisluture advis-
able for the purpose of enact-
ing new laws for the govern-
ment of the State, but it may
become necessary to convene a
special session for the purpose
of maintaining the State's cred-
it, .both at home and abroad,

In conclusion, I congratulate you on

Fort Worth Dec. 7,1870.
Last night about 11 o'clock
Deputy U. S. Marshal Weir, of
Comanche county, who is hero,
found out that Sherrff Wilson,
of said county, was at the
Transcontinental Hotel. Weir
went to the hotel', told a waiter
to conduct. him to Wilson's
room. The waiter did so and
the door was found locked, so
Weir could not get in. He
kicked out u panel of the door
and commenced firing, which
he continued until he emptied
his pistol. One shot struck the
pillow and another came near
hitting some one else in the
room. He was arrested by a
policeman and released on bail.
This morning he purchased
cartridges, loaded his pist<
and went to the hotel. Wilson
was coming out to take the
stage, having a shotgun. Weir
commenced drawing bis pistol
and Wilson threw his gun on
him, but awaited fire. Weir
jumped behiud the hotel, and
as he did so both fired. Wil-
son's ■ shot ' passed throngh
Weir's coat and. Weir shot Wil-
son through the wrist, inflicting
a painful wouud. Both par-
ties were arrested. Weir's
bond was fixed at $2000, failing
to give which t)e went to jail.
Wilson is confined to his room
under the charge of officers.
An old feud wus the causrf.
Some of tlie generous friends
of two murderers, Gus Young
and Krebs, condemned to death
and in jail at Jacksboro, having
threatened their rescue, Major
Jones has a squad of men there,
who are curious to see these felt
lows' necks broken.-^Austiri
Statesman.
This oertainly is news to our
people and what perplexes our
Sheriff is where he is going to
get the criminals as he has not
nor has he had a murderer iu
custody forlo! these many days.
Will the StatesTnan please be
a little more careful in the fu-
ture and hot give pur county
redit for crimes committed
elsewhere. Onr people are or-
derly and law abiding and do
not envy such notoriety as the
Statesman (probably uninten-
tionally) has given us. -
The Presidential muddle does
not settle as yet and people are
enjoying a season of suspence.
In the mean time we feel like
shouting for Peter Cooper, but
then the law might be took ou
u felloftr for creating unusual
noise and disturbance.
The civil' war in Mexico is at
an end but probably another
will be inaugurated within a
day or two.
Diaz has entered the Mexican
capitol and President Lerdo has
fled.
It is reported that Lerdo and
his cabinet were captured and
shot .
Dispatches from Brownsville
say that Capt. Smith, the Amer-
ican citizen arrested by the
Mexican authorities, has been
released.
An attempt was made last
Sunday night , to rob the batik
of Messrs. Leonard and Adams,
at Dallas.
From all accounts, we judge
Ptnkerton's Chicago detectives
got wind of the allhir, put up a
job on the cracksmen and at
the proper time gobbled them.
Thursday of last week', gold
in New York City was down to*
107 1-4, being lower than at
any time- sin«e 1801 with one
exception, when it sold at 100
in Notomber 1873.
The- Frontiersman says Mr..
Schevethehn, liviug eight miles
from Kenville, raised this year
from a flock of 400 ewes, the
unusually large number of 870
splendid lambs.
Three bundled and fifteen
bodies hare ben recovered from
the buru«d theater at Brooklyn.
The Grab in Sheep.
The Denver JS'em advises
furnmrs in Kansas, the Indian
Territory, Nebraska and Texas,
to plaul thftir crops early, as all
the places named are likely to
receive s visit from the grass-
hoppers that will mature in
Colorado during the summer.
Fort Worth papers complain
that the thoroughfares of that
village are frequently blocka-
ded with teams so that it is im-
possible to pass for an hour or
two.
Serves your people right,
neighbors; your people should

cotton, hides &c nor have a rail-
At the second meeting of the
Illinois Wool grqwertb in Sep-
.tember last, Mr- Kellny made a.
very interesting taik on Grubs
in the Head of sheep. As Mr.
K. has given the subject more
careful study than the average
of ilockmasters, and has experi-
ence extending through more
than forty years, his views are
entitled to great consideration,
though differing widely from
those of Some others.
When infesting a flock ihey
aim at the uostril of the sheep,
and seem to have no other plane
for depositing their eggs.
Lambs suffer most from the fly,
as they are more inexperienced
ill avoiding them. As the
weather grows cold, the grubs
ascend the nostrils of the ani-
mal. This movement makes
the sheep uneasy, atyi some-
times frantic. The eyes swell
and look weak, while violent
efforts will be made to clear the
nostrils. The speaker gave as
his opinion that "pale skin,"
"whites," and other similar dis-
eases, are the results of grub iu
the head.
As to tho best method of es-
caping the ravages of the fly, it
is thought they arf not so bad
iu flocks thai run on fallow
fields. The dust may tend to
