San Bernardino, Colo., June 8.—T.
Taylor aud J. A. Peterson, partners iu
the burning Moscow mine, in this county,
quarreled this morning at the corner oi
C aud Third streets about the coudoct
of the Mine, when Taylor drew a pistol
and tiled three shots at Peterson, all tak-
ing deadly effect. lie then fired at a by
stander, who attempted to disarm liiui
without effect, then running a few steps,
deliberately shot himself. Peterson died
in a few minutes, and Taylor was mortal-
ly wounded. Some mystery is attached
to the affair, the men having been up to
the moment apparently on most fricudly
terms.
Fruit is abnudaut, and Irish potatoes
equally so. Apples retail out ot the coun-
try wagous at fifty cents per pushel. Po-
tatoes sell at that or less, while old crop
potatoes are quoted iu New York at $2
per bushel, and new crop at $4 per bush-
el.
John Johnson, whose name is au-
uounced this week as a candidate for
re-election to the office of Tax Collector,
is so thoroughly well known to all tL'e
people, that it is unuecessary to say any-
thing in his behalf. He was bom near
this Towu, and has always lived in this
county, and we believe there has never
been any complaint against him in any
capacity.
Our people should not forget at the pri-
maries, to evince their preference for ev-
ery State office, and tor Senator ot the
United States. Let's have the voice of
the people, aud not the 110137 vociiera-
tious ot the professional politicians. Then
there is no deception nor any room tor
complaint. The tickets being printed
fully so as to provide for the expression,
the people cannot well forget.

Dr. Foster is re building bis office.
Col. Aikiu, we learn will probably soon

one tor the Harris Brothers, coveting the

grocery and the old Louisville Store.
llattser is putting up a neat photo-
graph gallery ou the square.
Drs. Foster will within three weeks
probably, commence the construction of
a store house on the corner opposite the
Donolio House, heretofore occupied by
D. C. Garrison.
Had, on Tuesday, au especially pleas-
ant visit from Rev. R. F. Bunting, the
pastor of the Presbyterian church at Gal-
veston, who has been thirty years a resi-
dent of Galveston, and was chaplain
the Terry Rangers during the late war
between the States. The Rev. gentle-
man, by way of rest, and for the pin pose
of seeing the Slate, was temporarily rep-
resenting the Philadelphia reprint of the
Encyclopedia Brittanica.
Erich Bros'summer issue ot the Fash-
ing quarterly is on our table and welcome
as usual, not only because it has some
reading matter for the Ladies, but be-
cause it sets forth enticingly, by price
aud illustrative cuts, many articles of fam-
ily use, which can bo sent by mail at low
prices. The quarterly only costs 50 ctsr,
per annum, and as every family would
like to keep up with the Fashions, at least
to the extent of looking at them, it will pay
any family to take it. Erich Bros', 8th
Avenue and 24th Street New York.
The examination of Clarksville High
School by Professors Fletcher and Wal-
pole, will terminate after caudle lighting
this evening, with a debate by the.stu-
dents and an address by Prof. Flecher;
the final act being the distribution of pri
zes liy Prof. Walpole. We have no doubt
that the performances will be interesting
and the great room filled by a crowd of
the Patrons of the school and relatives of
the pupils. Aided by the superior in-
structing capacities ot the two Professors
whose entire capacties are given to the
work, we have not a doubt that the schol-
ars will give good account of themselves.
There will be inu.ic by Miss Armstrong.
[t will be seen that Judge Wootteu an-
nounces in this issue for }e election. No
county in this State has a more capable
county Judge than W. E. Wootteu, and
few counties in the State have it in their
power to get so g od a Presiding magi :•
trate. "Learned in the law" as the con-
stitution directs, "reflective, modest, con-
servative and strictly conscientious.
Red River 0;>i|uty may esteem itself fortu
n ite to get such an officer jii charge of its
countn administrate i, and so thoroiigh
a lawyer to preside over its county court
proper and protect the interests o! the
widow and the orphan, We say this rot
merely injustice to a faithful official, but
because the county is largely interested in
getting the best service,iu a station which
while greatly important to the people, is
not yefy remunerative.
Fire at Texapltjuja,
On Sunday night, there was another
carnival ot blaze oil the main street of
| our lively neighbor. The block of frame
! buildings cornering on the avenue, and
Lojiiimencing at the old Hake's corner, oc-
; cupied by Goldsoll, was entirely l>prued.
! We have not learned how many goods
• were lost, but it not many, the city is prof-
ited by the burn. The houses were of
; little value, and constituted a fire trap.
' We understand that the end wall of the
new Marks & Munzesheimer building
close by, with only an alley between, is
so eiacked, that it must be, taken down.
L. <3. DeMorse, who had been for some
years occupying the Hake's corner, had
moved into the Munzesheimer building
only two days before. In which end ot
the block the fire originated, we do not
know. It was fortunate, for those occu-
pying a similai* row of houses on the
> biock iu which is the Benefield House,
' that they escaped the flames.
Last evening a young gentleuiau ot ten j
or twelve summers, brought to us a lot of
delicious sugar pears, extra size, with a
card beariug the compliments of Mrs. J.
H. Cheatham. We appreciate the com-
pliment, as we alwa.\sdo the missives
and social tenders of our ladv friends. ■
Lecltjseval, June 11th, '82.
Dear Standard : I have thought
some time of writing to yon, but it has
been so many years since I wrote to the
Standard, that l fear vou may have
forgotteu int. The last letter I seut to
you was in '03, from Barbourville, Ky.,
giving in ray very humble style, the ad-
vance of the army of E. Kirby Smith,
into that State, with its incidents, scouts
and thepart that the Texas troops acted, iu
that important campaign. I remember
too, how glad the soldiers from Texas
would be, when they could get a copy of
the Standard. I have passed by their
tents ou the bivouac, and on the weary
march heard them speak of what news
they had from home, in the defence of
which they hs'd been, and were willing to
make so mauy patriotic sacrifices. They
felt tlieu, as I have no doubt they think
now, that yon were partial to the Texas
troops, aud that jou are yet, a tried
friend ot the great State of Texas; tor
your acts attest your devotion to the in-
terests of the people of this State, aud
the words of cheer you gave, assisted to
nerve them tq bear patiently the hard-
ships ot a soldier's life.
I take no political jourual at this time,
but in reading your paper not long since,
I noticed that you had a pleasant call
from au oid Texas veteran of Re I River
conuty, anil the pleasure it afforded you
seemed to be very gratifying. The old
gentleman you alluded to, was Isaac
Smathers Esq. Old age should be re-
spected, but when you attach to it, servi-
ces rendered to a proud county, that re-
spect should increase. I was glad the
old gentleman was alive, for I have not
seen hiiu since '01. Now the object of
this letter is to suggest a plea, by which
more of the old citizens can meet togeth-
er, and have their social interchange of
views. It is this: Oil the 10th day of
August next, there will be re-uuion of
the soldiers and officers of the Eleventh
Texas Regiment. This regimeut was or-
ganized at the commencement of the late
war, by Col. William C. Young, one of
the early settlers of Red Kiver county,
and a prominent ciiizen of the State, of
Texas. Afterwards it was commanded
by Col. John C. Burks, also a citizen of Red
Kiver. and a gallant officer. Company E.
ot Red River county was one of the teu
companies which composed the Eleventh
Texas Regiment. Why could not the old
citizens meet on that day, and if they
choose, have a re union too, a sociable,
pleasant old fashion talk. They can talk
of Houston, Lamar, Crockett, and a long
line of Texas heroes, the lutRaus, their
warfare, and the hardships iucideut to
the earlier settlers—settlers ot this part
of Texas, let them bring their families
and camp. I was at Sherman at a re
union. The old citizens had a camp
ground, and they came there for fifty aud
oue hundred miles. The old folks talked
and chatted, and the young ones, those
who desired, danced to the sweet music,
which was in attendance. Fitzhugh's Reg-
iment, Eleventh Texas, the old citizens
ot Grayson were all there, and it was one
of the most pleasant ami agreeable and
social gatherings, I ha\e witnessed tor
many years. Why couldn't the citizens
of Red River, one of the oldest counties
hi Northern Texas, and the citizeus of
Clarksville, uuite and dedicate the 10th
da> of August, to recreation and pleasure?
Shall the (lays of "Auld Lang Syne" be
forgotten? After the re-union at Sher-
man, 1 noticed iu the Republican papers
North, some severe criticisms upon the
meeting ol a tew Confederate soldiers. If
they had been present and mingled with
them, they would not have seen or heard
treason whispered or planned by thesa
men. it is simply a renewal ot old asso
ciations, the pleasant, the amusing, the
friendly scenes, as well as to prise the
virtues of the true uien, who had fallen
in the lost cause.
What harm is there in our singing the
praises. Co}. Saiii Oorley, the christian
gentleman and soldier, who fell one huu-
dred yards ahead ot his command, with
his face to the foe, or of Willie Stone of
Company K Eleventh Texas, who was
killed after he i.ad been captured, by
some member of the regiment or perhaps
ot his company. The Eleventh Texas
had been ordered in re r of the enemy to
i*:it oil'eonimaiiiuation with the main ar
my. Stone with other prisoners was on
the trail, en route f.>r the Northern pris-
on. w|jeii he shw the Confederates iu liue
—-beheld the Confederate flag, his com-
rades, erect iie stood oa the platform of
the train, cheered the boys by waiving |
his hat, and received his iatal wound, a* i
the command made tlie charge. Acts of!
heroism were common In the army, 1 j
might sav iu both armies, and at their re-,
unions, at our reunions, we can sing'
praises to the brave soldiers who died for j
their country, that the coming generation \
may admire,their gallant action. These
individual acts, make up the unwritten |
history of our contest, and it Is at these
re-unions, where often, the gallant dead,
receive the merit of praise and the grati
tnde of the country. The me.nbers of
Company E. and other members of tl)e
regiment will please meet ju Clarksville
on the 1st Saturday in July next.
Yours truly,
Dixie.
An owl was killed near Yankee Hill, Butte '
county, last week, attached to one leg of
nliitcli, with a piece of annealed wire, was a
j gold dollar of the coinage of 1865. The bird
I was an aged one, apparently, aud the coin
i looked as if it had been carried for many year?.
Oce Next Governor.—It is quite evident
1 the sage of Seguiu will secure the nominaton
j at the Galveston convention, if we may judge
I by the manifestations of preference that
I reach us from every portion of the state.
We are satisfied that Steinlein is
selling summer goods at cost if you doubt
it just go there aud satisfy yourself.
Adeibert Oorley, who fa ani ouuced for
re-election as Couuty Clefk, is so
thoroughly competent,and peculiarly suit-
ed for the duties of that office,that it would
be a brave man who would endeavor to
unseat him: and then, such a man would
fail. When we get such a man to fill a
station so important to all the people, aud
he fills it so capably, as well as so agree-
ably that not a murmur of disapprobation
is ever heard, it would be argued that
a people had not common comprehension
ot fitness,it they did not unanimously de-
sire to retain his services.
Such bargains as Steinlein is sell-
ing in Tweeds, Cottonades, Cheviots, Do-
mestic, aud all other goods never seen be-
fore.
One of our mercantile friends, who distin.
guished himself lately, by his eminent failure
to persuade any of the finny tribe to leave
their native waters, and come to see him, says
he is going to redeem the fishing reputation
of the mercantile community ot this town, of
which we are to have sensible evidence by
the numerous fishes sent to us next week. So
we have hail our fish barrel scalded, aud have
got a quire of paper to describe the coining
event.
If you can keep cool untill you get to
Steinlein's, you are all right for he
will sell you a suit of clothes cheap that
will keep you cool the balance of the
summer.
Chicago, June 12.—Casper Key bait is
a baker, and works at uight. When lie
left home last evening his wife began pre-
parations tor a horrible deed. They had
lour childreu, aged twelve, seven, two
and a half years, and a baby four months
old. She dressed them in fresh white
clothes with bright ribbons, gave them
strychniue aud when thev died laid them
out carefully with flowers in their hands
and all the surroundings made as beauti-
ful as possible; then she took a dose of
poison herself, having also put on a fresh
while chemise with ribbons iu it. This
was just before the return ot her husband
at 5 o'clock this morning. When he ap-
peared at the door she met him and told
him to come in and see the children, all
dead and gone to heaven; see how pretty
thev were, with nice flowers, for angels.
One of the children was alive but has
since died. Mrs. Seybalt died about seven
o'clock this morning. It appears that
Mr. and Mrs. Seybalt did not live in en-
tire harmony ; that since the birth of her
last child Mrs. Seybalt has not been iu
good health, and it is believed despond-
dency caused her to commit the deed.
From a number of notes written by the old-
est daughter, aged twelve years, it ap-
pears Mrs. Seybalt talKed the matter over
with her, and got her consent to the ter-
rible tragedy. Several are addressed to
her school-mates oil childish matters aud
two to her father. One says : "Forgive
me. We have to leave you. Mamma
thought it was the best we could do."
Another asks him to bury them decently,
and tells him where she leaves money to
buy flowers. One addressed to her
school-mate, suys: "Mother was always
sick, you know, aud thought ot dyiug of-
ten and how we would be treated, and so
thought best all of us die at once, and
bought something to kill us—baby first,
Annie second, Flony third, 1 afterwards
and then mother. We did not suffer
much, and now we are all out of trouble'
Nashville, Juue 8.—Mr. and Mrs. S.
O- Prentiss were indicted to-day by the
grand jury for bigamy and illegal cohabi
tation. Both are iu jail not having been
able to secure a bond to the extent of
$2500. They have lived iu^ New York,
Chicago and St. Louis.
The Best History of England-
Since the publication of Macaulay's famous
work, no history of Eugland lias more prompt-
ly and deservedly won the very highest repu
tation, than Green's "History of the English
Perple." Ranking fairly with Macanlay iu
the brilliaucy and interest of its style, and
superior to it in its accurate delii-eation of
events, it covers the entire field of English
history, from tae earliest to recent times,
(and giving the history (if tiie people, rather
than of the conflicts of the kings, only,) while
Macaulay's history is limited to a
very brief period. Green \v,is Jlr^t

A Cyclopedia of Ristoiy-
We have heretofore published several no-
tices referring to the publication of Green's
famous "History of the Euglish People,"
which is being published by The Useful
Knowledge Publishing Oompauy, of New
York. Besides its issue, iu live handsome
"Elzevir" volumes, and iu one "Model Octavo"
volume, it will form a portion of the first vol -
nine ot the Cyclopedia of History, which is
being published by the same house, the re-
mainder ot the volume being made up ot Car-
lylc's great "History of the French Revolu-
tion,'^ Schiller's History of the Thrity Years'
War," and Creasy's "Fifteen Decisive Battles
of the world." The plan of the Cyclopedia of
History is that that it shall contain, una-
bridged, the great standard works of such
authors as above noted, with such additions
the editors and special writers as will be nec-
essary to make the Cyclopedia complete and
universal iu character; unity aud convenience
of consultation being secured by the publica-
tion ot the "World's Index of Knowledge" iu
connection with it. To bring the cost oi the
work to the_lowest possible sum, the, publish
crs are issuing it in neat, strong ' Utility"
bound parts of about 100 pages each, for the
nominal price 15 cents per part. For sale by
booksellers and club agents, to whom unusual
