Arrived.
The new steam fire engine for Mechanics
Fire Company No. 6, reached the city yester-
day, by rail. It has not been put in order yet,

the fact that great pains have been taken in
its finish, strength and durability
Election of Officers*
At a regular meeting of Galveston Lodge
No. 3, I. O. O. F . the following officers were
elected on Wednesday, June 27th, for term
beginning July 1st, 18»7, to Dec. 31st, 187<: A.
Wiltz, N. G.; Chas. Hanson, V. G.; W. H. Tel
fair, Rec. Sec.; Jacob Ziegler, Treasurer.
Local Personals.
Captain J. D. Roberdeau is in the city.
Visited the Cotton Exchange: W. L. Thule-
meyer and F. Thulemeyer, Schulenburg; N.
T. Smith, Mexia; W. E. Tobert, Houston; A.
M. Davis, Corpus Christi.
Miss Hilmirus, a talented concertist, is now
on a visit to this city, and may, before leav-
ing, give a musical treat at the earnest solici-
tation of some of her friends here.
Checkers.
Some of the members of T ee Fire Company
No. 5 have been for soma time trying to or-
ganize a checker club for the development of
the latent talents of those who may be in-
clined to patronize an amusement so harmless
and profitless as the innocent game of check-
ers. They have succeeded in getting two
crack players together—one from Boston, the
other from Cincinnati, who have met on the
checkered field just nine times, and every
time the Cincinnati man has come off the vic-
tor.
Police Items.
The heroic bearing: and lofty airs assumed
by the Chief cf Police as he strode the streets
yesterday evening, and which for a time ex-
cited the fears of his friends, have all been
accounted for. It is a boy and is said to be a
living image of its papa.
The building on Center street, between
Church and Postoffice streets, formerly owned
by the Texas Ice Company, is being pulled
down.
The new hats, literally hard shells, recently
ordered for the police force, and samples of
which have already appeared upon the streets
adorning the craniums of the police officials,
are expected to arrive daily. The weather is
too hot for caps to be comfortable.
Irregular Charges.
It is reported that certain hackmen of this
city are in the habit of attending funerals un-
der regular contracts with those authorized
to employ them, and having done so, and re-
ceived their pay properly, they again apply to
those who use their hacks, and demand
another fee, alleging that they were not em-
ployed by the party in charge of the burial.
A gentleman has just complained at this
office of an outrage of this sort which was per-
petrated upon himself and a friend at Mr.
Rinker's funeral. He further says that in-
?uiries at one of the livery stables have elicited
or him the information that this little game
is becoming quite common. In a case of this
sort no one likes to complain, and for that
reason it is believed that nothing has been
said by those who have heretofore been vie
timized in this way.
A Field Day.
Judge Tevis smiled one of the most com
placent smiles that has lit up the lights in his
countenance for some time yesterday as
he entered his sanctuary and threw his eyes
over the motley mob that greeted him in the
prisoners' dock. There were men and women
and boys, of all ages, sizes and conditions
hustled together and waiting in patience to
receive the rewards for the deeds they had
done in the body. The cause of the increased
list of offenders is traceable to the fact that
C'apt. Owens started out his officials Thursday
with instructions to bring in every man who
might be found sleeping in box cars, old boil-
ers and beneath the shades of the blooming
oleanders. They went and were rewarded
with a magnificent haul of vagrants. Capt.
Owens says that as long as the ruins last and
cleaning brick will command $1 per thousand
that men must work.
Have ITou Seen 211m t
For the past week a bevy of hilarious gen
tlemen have been hunting for somebody
named Farley. A quiet, unoffending citizen
can't go into a bar-room to imbibe a cooling
decoction without being interrupted with in-
terrogatories about Farley. All the toasts
that are drank are to the health of Farley,
and in every fight that has occurred since his
arrival Farley has figured to a greater or less
degree. Several gentlemen have been top-
heavy over the bumpers they have imbibt d
on Farley's account, and now (he only thing
they thiuk of is te inquire of everybody they
meet, have you seen him? Who? Farley.
And then comes a roar of laughter that puz-
zles the unitiated to ascertain the source
from whence it springs.
For the information of those concerned,
the announcement is made that « man named
Farley was before Jud#o Tevis yesterday,
but whether or not ne is the one sought for
deponent not.
Supposed Attempt at Suicide.
"Vesterday, at about 11 o'clock a. m, Mr.
Frank Rogers entered th^ jewelry store of Mr.
Kaufman, on Market street, and began talk-
ing with that gentleman. Before lie had ar-
ticulated a dozen words, however, he turned
deadly pale, and staggering, was about to
fall, when Mr. Kaufman caught him in his
arms. Rogers was almost instantly seized
with violent convulsions, and apparently suf-
fered very greatly. The services of Dr. Wil-
kinson were called into requisition, and after
administering such antidotes as his symptoms
suggested as proper, he was turned over to
Officer Sam. Wilson, of the police force, who
conveyed him to the Hospital Rogers is
the same individual who was arrested
some six weeks ago as a lunatic by
the Chief of Police, and after several days
confinement in the county jail, was taken to
his family in New Orleans by Mr. Aaron Drey.
It is supposed that his old grieveances have
again gotten the better of his intellect, and
that he has resorted to poison for the purpose
of ending his uohappiness. It will be remem-
bered that he was infatuated with a woman
named Mrs. Stevens, who discarded his affec-
tions for the attentions of another, and which
so preyed upon the mind of young Rogers as
to dethrone his reason.
In regard to the above a News reporter
called on Dr. Wilkinson late in the evening,
after he had thoroughly diagnosed the condi-
tion of Mr. Rogers, and from him ascertained
that the cause of his affliction had its origin
in a combination of diseases located both in
the brain and the heart. He is reported to
have been very actively engaged in tne morn-
ing in an endeavor to re-establish his gymna-
sium. and, overcome by excitement and heat,
his constitutional disorders culminated in the
convulsions with which he was attacked. The
doctor discards entirely the theory that pois-
on had anything to do with his condition.
meeting of the Board of Health.
At a regular meeting of the Board of Health,
held to-day, the following members were
present: Drs. W. D. Kelley, E. Hand all and
McKenzie Johnson and Messrs. A. W. Spaight,
L. C. Fisher and A. Robira. President
Kelly occupied the chair, and the minutes of
the previous meeting were read and adopted.
The Health Physicians read a communication
1othe Board, which furnished the fau^jects for
the discussions that followed.
The hog ordinance was discussed at much
length, and on account of the s>ame being
somewhat onerous on many of the parties in-
terested, and also owing to the fact that but
few persons reside west of forty third street.
Mr. Fisher moved that the Health Physician be
instructed to ask the Board of Aldermen to so
amend that ordinance as to make forty-third
street the limit beyond which the hogs should
be removed. Carried.
The subject of the Tremont Hotel cesspool
and drain were called up and considered,
find the Health Physician instructed to con-
fer with the City Attorney, and request him
to draw up a l^gal indictment against Messrs.
mirnett & Kilpatrick in regard to that mat-
ter.
colonel A. W. Spaight moved that a com
mittee « f three physicians be appointed, to
act with the Health Physician, in order to de-
termine upon some method of disposing of
The refuse matters which are prone to accu-
mulate within the city limits; and I)rs. Kelley,
Randall and Johnson were placed upon said
committee.
Colonel Spiight, from a Committee on
Drainage appointed at last meeting, read a
report upon that subject, which was received
and forwarded to the Board of Aldermen for
their action.
A communication was received from Messrs.
Burnett & Kilpatrick, in regard to their
building on the corner of Strand and Twen*y-
nfth streets, lately leased to the United State*
Kovernment for a custom bouse, stating that
1 h°»y would fill to grade as the law directed a •.
roon an the Narrow Gauge Railroad reached
that vicinity. Same received.
.This being the first meeting of the board
since the City Council had amended an ordi-
ranee in regard to Health Inspectors, an elec
Hon was entered into, which resulted in the
election of Joe Boddaker, Andrew* Kauffman

fleeting of the Board of Fire Com-
missioners.
The Board of Fire Commissioners met last
evening at Lee Company No. 5 engine house.
Present—M. A. Davey, chief of the depart-
ment, and a representative from each of the
companies.
The motion made by Mr. V. J. Baulard to
reconsider the action <«f the fco ird Dassed at
the last meeting rel«t.ve to the repairs of
Washington Engine -No. l, was carries.
Mr. Johnson, of Washington No. 1 Fire Com-
pany, submitted a proposition looking to the
substitution of Washington Engine with a
new engine.
Mr. Baulard asked if the foreman of Wash-
ington Company had made all the calcula' ions
relative to the amount it would require to
purchase a new steamer.
'J he President, M. A. Davey, said that he
had been in conversation with the Mayor,
who had assured him that neither of the new
engines now in the city would be paid for by
the City Council. He thought it useless for
the companies ordering the*e engines to even
hope that the city would afford them any im-
mediate assistance in the payment of their
purchases.
Mr. Baulard thought that Washington en-
gine could be repaired so as to do as good
service as could be required from an engine
which had seen as much service rs it had.
He appreciated the burdened condition of the
city and thought that no steps should be
taken that could be avoided looking to an in-
crease of the city's indebtedness.
Mr. Oldenberg thought that the boar 1 had
no light to recommend to the City Council
the purchase of any particular kind of an en-
gine. He was under the impression that the
Council would pay for any sort of an engine
they wanted.
Mr. Harrar thought that it mattered very
little whether the city had any inonay or not,
so far as the duties of the board are con-
cerned. He thought that if an engine was
needed, the board should let the Council
know it. and then if the need was not sup-
plie the fault would not be with the bo«rd.
Mr. Clifford thought that so far as the ques-
tion of substituting a new engine in the place
of Washington Engine No. 1, which is worn
out, is concerned, that that company could
do just as No. 4 and No. 6 companies had
done, and take^mto their own hands the pur-
chase of new engine.
Mr. Davey said that an improper idea was
prevailing in the board. He said that No. 4
and No. 6 engines did not belong to the De-
partment; that he could not order either of
these engines into service; that they were
the property of the companies, and, as such,
were beyond the control of either the city or
the Fire Department. So far as Washington
Engine No. 1 is concerned, it did belong to
the city, and, as such, it was proper for the
board to recommend to the Council either t^
have that engine repaired, or to trade her off
for a new one. This was the duty f jr which
the meeting was called.
Mr. Baulard thought that the calculation
had better be made as to what it would cost
to repair the engine, and that it should be also
ascertained what amount would be allowed
by the manufacturing company for the ©Id
engine in exchange for a new one. This, he
thought, would furnish a foundation upon
which the board could predicate its recom-
mendations.
Mr. Johnson urged some action looking to
the speedy repair or substitution of the en-
gine of his company.
Mr. Oldenberg favored the opinions ex-
pressed by Mr. Baulard.
Mr. Harrar asked if No. 4 and No. 6 engines
did not occupy city property, and if so, he
asked how it was that they did not belong to
the fire department.
Mr. Davey explained that, the new steamers
belonged to the companies and not to the
city, but by the tolerance of the Mayor they
were allowed to occupy city property.
The secretary was instructed to read a pro-
position submitted to build a steam engine
for Washington Company for $6750, on time
payments, and allowing for the old engine
$1000.
Mr. Davey said that anything would be out
of order except to recommend to the Council
to either have the steamer of Washington
Company repaired, or that a new steamer be
purchased in its place.
Mr. Bonn moved that a board of three com-
petent engineers be appointed to inspect
Washington steamer and report up ^n her con-
dition. Carried.
Adlourned.
After the departure of the reporter the
meeting was reconvened, and the following
resolution, a copy of which was subs .quently
furnished the News, was adopted:
Resolved, That the Board of Fire Commis-
sioners, seeing the great need of the fire
alarm, would respectfully urge upon the Hon-
orable Board of Aldermen the great necessity
of making immediate arrangements with Mr.
Curtis to put the alarm in working order.
Trial of No. 4 New Steamer.
Yesterday evening at 4 o'clock there was a
grand gathering of firemen, both active and
honorary, at the intersection of Market and
Nineteenth streets, to witness the workings
of the new Jeffreys engine recently ordered
by Hope Fire Company No. 4. The damages
sustained in the trial on Thursday evening
had been repaired, and everything about the
mach.nery of the engine worked well and sat-
isfactorily to those interested in its purchase.
Steam was raised and water flowing from the
nozzle in four minutes and a half from the
time the fires were lighted. A good stream
of water, one inch in diameter, was thrown a
distance of 208 feet. The stopping of the
stream and the introduction of a small Bab
cock hose, with Its diminutive stream, wi'h
out intertering with the workings of the en
gine, was successfully accomplished, and
elicited many complimentary expressions
from experienced firemen. The members of
the company exoress themselves as highly
pleased with the" selection they have made,
and old firemen pronounce the new engine a
decided addition to the efficiency of the de-
partment. The engine was christened on
Thursday night at a little banquet improvised
by Mr. Julius Runge, for whom she is named,
and at which the sparkling of the wine was
only excelled by "he brilliant witticisms that
marked the event as one that will be long re-
membered and cherished by the members of
that company.
The following is the report of the committee
appointed by the company to inspect the
working of the engine:
In 45 seconds after lightning fire 5 pounds
steam; in 30 seconds more 10 pounds steam;
in 35 seconds more f5 pounos steam; in 3J
seconds more 20 pounds more; in 25 seconds
more 25 pounds steam; in 25 seconds more
80 pounds steam: in a** seconds more water
from pipe through 100 feet hose, l^g-inch
nozzle, using only the regular light suction 2J£
inches diameter, for quick service and use of
hese relief, a throw with this small suction
was made a distance of 210 feet steady.
Two simultaneous streams were then
thrown, still using the small suction through
one hundred feet hose each, one nozzle being
% inch, the other %. a distance of one hun-
dred and forty feet each. The hose relief and
stop-nozzle were then put in use, still using
the 2^ inch suction with 00 pounds water pres-
sure and from 60 to 80 pounds steam. Two
leads were then used, one 2^£ inch hose one
hundred feet long, usiDg the spray and stop-
nozzle, the other lead being 1 inch, or Bab-
cock, hose, with stop-nozzle hos**, being one
hundred feet long. The small stream playiug
over a two-story building stopping at inter-
vals, the large stream, and at others the small
stream. The large stream playing from *4
inch to inch, reducing said stream or in-
creasing same at pleasure. Two small boys
about eight or ten years old were then placed
in charge of the pipes, shutting and opening
the streams at will. This conclusively proves
the supenority of the hose relief and
stop-nozzle, as at no time d!d the
water pressure gauge indicate over
60 pounds of pressure on hose, this
pressure throwing a steady and continuous
stream at a distance of 140 feet horizontally.
Owing to a leak in the sleeve of the large suc-
tion bet ween the rubber and sleeve,the engine
was not put to full test as to distance which,
however, will take place at some future day
at the wish of the company. We will add
that a great advantage of the stop nozzle is
that ihe stream may be shut off entirely with-
out interfering with the working of the en-
gine. The committee recommend the Ackron
White Anchor Hose and Cupplings attached,
which were used at the trial of the engine to-
day and proved most satisfactory.

•JJcetlng of Laborers.
About one hundred and fifty laborers met
at the Court-house last evening, in order to
take suitable action regarding the employ-
ment of convicts withiu the corporate limits
of this city. The Galveston, Houston and
Henderson Railroad Company have now a
large number employed, and the above meet-
ing was called for the purpose of appointing
committees to wait on the Mayor, alto on the
Superintendent of the above road, to have
said convicts removed beyond the limits of
this city. D. F. Morton was elected chairman

feathering In the Tithes.
Gov. Lubbock reports that his work as tax
collector for the present month has been a\i
that his most sanguine hopes could ask for.
He has already taken in from the "dear peo-
ple" who never complaim of taxation and
who know the value of the discounts allowed
on prompt payments of municipal dues, over
$20,00(J, and believes that for the month his
co lections will amount to quite $20,000. At,
this rate of collection, it. is believed that the
necessity for the loan of $'>0,000, provided for
at a recent meeting of the Council will
hardly be necessary.

Thousands of Affidavits.
Many having usen " patent " and pre
pared medicines and failed in finding
the relief promised, are thereby preju
diced against all medicines. Is this
right ? Would you condemn all physi-
cians because one failed in giving the
relief promised? Some go to Caiifor
nia in search of gold, and after work
ing hard for months and finding none,
return home and say there is no gold
there? Does that prove it? Many suf
fering with Catarrh and pulmonary af
fections have used the worthless prepa
rations that crowd the market, and in
their disappointment say there is no
cure for Catarrh. Does that prove it?
Does it not rather prove that tliey have
failed to employ the proper remedy ?
There are thousands of people in the
U nited States who can make an affida
vit that Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy and
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
have effected their entire cure. Many
had lost all sense of smell for months,
and pieces of bone had repeateJly been
removed from the nasal cavities.

where down in the wilds of Jersey—if
Jersey has any wilds these present Cen-

all the patriarchal comfort and dignity
which attach to the English lord of the
manor. He has a park, a stately man

the most famous racing stables in
America. These royal establishments
contain some of the finest and fleetest
horses in the world. Among them is
Harry Bassett, a monarch of the turf,
who some time ago met with an acci-
dent to one of his slender and priceless
limbs. Without wasting a moment in
doubtful experiments, Mr. McDaniels
applied some of Giles' Liniment Iodide
of Ammonia, and in a half a day the
horse was as sound as the proverbial
silver dollar. No wonder McDaniels

LOVE IN JUNE.
So sweet, they say, to fall asleep
Some night a bud and wake a rosa.
Which means a queen, by right of all
The wind-blown bounties she bestow j.
And sweet to find a sudden ring
Of suitors round one's new born wiles—
To tilt and glow on bending stem
In the full summer of tneir smiles.
To read one's fairness in their eyes,
To turn a velvet cheek to each.
To blush on ail but when the bold
Ebsay to pluck, sway out of reach.
B «t I am only this, a poor
Pale promise of a rose, you see-
No queen as yet with largest sweet.
And only one has smiled on me.
To the dear faith that guesses at
The ro8* l yield, nor can withstand;
E ich folded grac^ its summer finds
In the warm hollow of thy hand.

Transcript: The various refreshing rains
which we nave received aluring the past two
weeks have caused a wonderful revival in
vegetation, and both man and beast show
their gratitude in their improved looks—We
believe that in this issue, for the first time
since the publication of the Transcript, have
we been called upon to record the dea: h ot
two adult persons in one week in Rockport—
Judge W. W. Dunlap and Miss Catherine Le-
mlre Fulton can ooast of doing the largest
business of any town of its size in the State.
The Meade & Nash packery is killing an un-
limited amount of cattle and turtle. The
Meriam Packing Company are killing a
limited number of cattle, from fifty to senen-
ty-fWe; but it is only owing to the tcarcity of
fat animals to slaughter, for they will in a few
weeks commence to kill to their full capacity,
which will be from a hundred to a hundred
and fifty head a day. The Meriam Packing
Compauy received a bunch of the finest catt e
that was ever brought to this market. They
were owned by Mr. Wm. C. Terry and pas-
tured by Mr. YVm. Andrews, 011 the San An-
t'>nio river. Their average weight was about
900 pounds, and brought $30 per head The
steamer came in during the week and took
away quite a large amouut of canned beef,
hides, tallow, etc Mr. W. S. Hall talks of
starting another large car ning establishment.
ATASCOSA COUNTY.
D M. Young, deputy sheriff of Atascosa
coun y, has succeeded in rearresting Char ey
Brown, one of the men who some weeks since,
was arrested in San Antonio for the murder
of Humphreys, and, on eximination, dis-
charged. Deputy Sueriff Young pursued
Brown afler his discharge and succeeded in
arresting him in Austiu. 011 a warrant from
Ata^co?a county, charging him with horse
theft. Brown had sold in Austin three of the
animals he is charged with stealing, which
were recovered by Young. Two of Brown's
confederates are in jail in San Mai cos under
other charges.
BOSQUE COUNTY.
The traveling correspondent of the JZcami-
ner writes: At the little villiage of Peoiia,
where bursts upon the vision of the traveler
one of the most beautiful farming countries
to be seen, and a pare of the celebrated
prairie region of Hill county. A few miles
enly to the north is the little villaga of Wood-
bury. The road leads along the edge of the
Cross Timbers, while to the right, fields of
golden grain, corn and cotton, appear almost
limitless in extent. This section seems to be
settling up rapidly wi» h a good class of immi-
grant. Thence to Kimball is a most beautiful
regi in wirh miles and miles of grazing lands,
and but few farms. As we come to Nolan's
river, farms come into view, and we see nu-
merous skirts of timber. The village of Kim
ball, nestled on the bank of the river, and
shaded with live oak and o'.her beautiful
trees, is inhabited by an inteliigent and pro
gressive people, numbering some 5£00 or 300
souls. The village has one good church
building, in which the several denominations
worship. An excellent stone school-house
ornaments the village, and Prof. Cook here
conducts a flourishing school. We have not
seen in Texas a more delightful place in
which to live than Kinball. The good land
here is found in the valleys, the uplands gen-
erally being suitable only for grazing pur-
poses.
. EL PASO COUNTY.
Writing from the Texas tide of the P10
Grande the editorial correspondent of the
San Antonio Express says: The Texas town
of El Paso is situated on the valiey of the Rio
Grande immediately below the point where
the river has forced a passage through the
mountains. The town contains a population
of about 700 souls, the American element be-
ing small in comparison to the number who
are of Mexican origin. It was founded about
the year 1K27 by ooe Ponce de Leon, who en-
tered under a grant covering a part or all of
the site of the present town. The buildings,
as usual on the Rio Grande, are constructed
of adobe, one story in height. These houses,
which are built in the old Spanish style, with
the interior court, wide front entrance and
flat roof, many having portals extending over
the entire front and supported by rows of
massive pillars, present a unique appearance
as they are seen beneath the tall cotton-wood
trees, whose rustlicg foliage affords gratefui
shade from the summer's sun. Irrigating
ditches meander through the town, and ex-
tend through the valley below, where several
suburban residences have been highly im-
proved, and fields of grain are cultivated.
The valley at the head of which El Pa?o,
Texas, is situated, is about 90 miles long, anc
has a width on the Texas side of from one
mile to five miles. The soil is pure alluvion,
from two feet to ten feet in depth,
and is remarkably adapted to the production
of grain, fruits and vegetables. There is
nothing grown without irrigation, except
upon small patches of temporal land, moist-
ened by the natural flow of the river. The
fruit trees attain an unusually large size.
This is the home of the grape, which is exten-
sively cultivated in the valley. There are
many vineyards of from three to ten acres
each. The vines are cultivated in the Euro
pean style, being cut back to a stump and
the shoots trimmed every spring to a few
inches in length. The grapes grown here are
of delicious quality, and the wine made from
them is excellent But the El Paso people
suffer from a plethora of fruit production
They can not consume the fruit they grow,
neither can they sell it. With a railroad, there
will be fortunes in these splendid vineyards
and orchards of choice fruits. El Paso is a
place of great expectations, and it must be
acknowledged there is ground for tbem.
With a railroad, her commercial position with
reference to Mexico, the heavenly climate,
and the agricultural wealth of tbis great val
ley, will be sufficient, without the mineral de
velopment of the surrounding country, to
build up a city. It is estimated that the val-
ley contains nearly one hundred thousand
acres of irrigable land. Besides this magnid-
cent body of fertile land, there is another
large vallny known as the Canutillo valley,
commencing about eight miles above. Fifteen
miles south of El Paso is Ysletta, the county
seat, a thriving town of about 1500 inhabi-
tants. Socorro, another town not so large, is
situated five miles below Ysletta. ana five
miles below Socorro is the town of San Eli
zario, containing about 12^0 inhabitants. Each
of these towns possesses the same character-
istics as El Paso, in respect to the style of
buildings and the culture of fruit and vegeta-
bles, many of the houses being literally em-
bowered in a mass of dark green foliage of
the pear, peach, app'e, quince, plum, and
other varieties of trees. Thete places are
also beauriful with flowers, and their varie-
gated colors appear everywhere in contrast
and relief to the universal green of the or-
chards and vineyards. The population of El
Paso couuty is of Mexican extraction chiefly.
The American element, as yet, is compara
tively small. The peoole are quiet, law-abid
ing and.industrious. El Paso, and the great
vai.'ey at the head of which it is situated, of-
fer an inviting field for investments. It is
now a sleepy hollow.

GRIMES COUNTY.
A letter transmitted to the News from Nav
asota, says: In Anderson, Grimes county*
there is a large population of children, a
large commodious school building vacant,
also a large lower room to the masonic lodge!
We are sadly in need of a competent reliable
teacher, one who can build up a school on his
own merits |Address, Orphans' Friend Lodge
of Free Masons, Anderson, Grimes county,
Texas The editor of the Banner writes
from Courtney: That the new iron bridge will
very soon be completed. As soon as it is for-
mally received by the company, it is their in-
tention to give a grand barbccue, followed by
a ball at night, with the romantic addition of
dancing on the bridge. The people of this
thriving little town are of opinion that the
completion of the bridge, and the establish-
ment of good roads through the river bottom
will add greatly to the thrift and orcspfrity
of the place The spirits of the farmers
like the weather for the lasn twelve or fifteen
days, seem to be a little cloudy. They say
most of the cotton is late, all of it grassy, and
none of it good. After making due allowance
for the constitutional privilege of man for ex-
aggeration, the outlook even then lacks a
great deal of being as promising as it usually
is in this section at corresponding seasons ...
The masonic fraternity at PlantersviUe will
celebrate the 27th by the usual ceremonies,
and a masonic address. The dinner will con-
sist of a grand picnic, to be followed by a
ball and supper.
GONZALES COUNTY.
Corn, oats and wneat are turning out finely,
and the pecan mast surpasses anything seen
for years The county produces to p«rfec
tion cotton, corn, wheat, oats, rye, barley,
millet, sorghum, ribbon cane, potatoes, gar-
den vegetables, and fruits of all kinds.
GOLIAD COUNTY.
Guard: The crops of the county are prinei
pally corn and corton. but many other arti
cles are found profitable, such as oats, broom
corn, castor bean, Irish and sweet potatoes,
melons, peas, cabbage, beans, onions, and, in
fact, nearly everything that is planted grows
and produces finely. Oats do well; some of our
farmers say that they grow as heavy oats
here as in any other portion of this or in any
other State. Wheat has had but an imper-
fect trial, but we know of a farmer not far
from Goiiad who says he is always successful
in raising wheat, making from twelve to
twenty five bushels per acre. There are
eleven creeks of never-failing water on the
west side and nine ou the east side of th* San
Antonio river, which river runs through the
center of the county, from northwest to south-
easr. The river is a swift, bold stream, with
several places on it where the water has a
fall of several feet, suitable for mill sites; in
fact, the water power is sufficient to run. if
properly utilized, any kind of machinery.
There is an bbundanc 1 of the best sandstone,
which can be quarried with but little cost, the
supply being inexhaustible. Goliad couuty
has six or seven thousand inhabitants. The
town Goliad has near two thousand; it is
located near the center of the county, on the
east bank of the San Antonio river. 1 h* re is
not a drinking or gambling saloon in the
county. The following denominations are re-
presented in the town and county: Presbvte
rian, Methodist Fpiscopal, < hristiao. Episco-
pal. B&pt st aud Catholic. The schools of the
county are taught by competent, and the
most of them by Christian, gentlemen and la-
dies. The Diincipal school of the county ard
surroundtug country is Paine Male and Fe
male Institute, now converted into a college.
HOOD COUNTY.
Granbury Videt't: We Pad a glorious, soak-
ing r*iu in these parts on Thursday. What
bountiful crops we are going to have. Forty
bushels to the acre is the average yield of
wheat claimed by Mr. Goforfch. Corn, wheat,
rye, cotton, barley and oats are our principal
staple?. Sugar cane and Chinese cane are
extensively produced;peas, beans, sweet and
Irish potatoes, ground peas, and garden veg
etables are raised. Peaches and grapes are
cultivated with great success. Nearly all our
population are emigrants from older States
and have brought with them the same civili-
zation, morals, and religion that prevail there.
We have the same institutions of learning,
religion, temperance and fraternity th \t exist
in the best ordered and endowed communi-
ties. The college at Thorp's SpriDgs, the aca-
demies at Granbury and Acton, and the va
rious schools throughout the county, afford
the highest facilities for education. Baptists,
Methodists, Presbyterians and Christians
have congregations under the card of ministei s
of eminent piety and a high order of culti-
vated intelligence. Sunday schools are regu-
larly taught and well a'tended. The price of
land ranges from one to five dollars per acre,
owing to locality and qu«ility. A portion of
the purchase money is usually paid d^wn and
annual payments at interest for the
b ilance. Pine lumber is delivered here
at thirty dollars per thousand feet.
Granbury, the county site of Hood county, is
pleasantly situated on a high bluff overlook
ng the Brazos: is remarkable for its pure
water and hea'thful surroundings; is thirty-
five miles from Fort Worth, the present ter-
minus of the Texas and Pacific Railroad The
surface of the county is generally undulating.
The Brazos river runs through tne county
from north to south, and its im ortant tribu-
taries are Long, Rucker's Be-. Walnut and
Falls creeks on the east, and Kickapoo, Rob-
ertson's, Stroud's, Squaw aud Paluxy creeks
011 the west, the latter being no ed for its
water-power, having three good mills now in
operation on it. Many of these creeks, too,
have important tributaries, hence water id
convenient in every locality in the county.
The river and creek valleys are held to be our
best lands, he former a red alluvium loam
with sand, and the latter alluvial heavy black
sandy soil. They produce in ordinary sea-
sons, wiih goo j cultivation, from thirty to
forty bushets of corn, wheat, rye or oats, and
from fifty to sixty bushels cf barley, or three-
tourths to a bale of cotton. The timbered
lands are, in many instances, nearly as pro-
ductive, most of them having a red clay four-
dation, which enables them to resist the
drouth. Fully one-half of our county is good
tillable land, and nearly one-half of this is
valley land. The other half of our county is
not sufficiently fertile to be profitably tilled,
but it is covered with a thick growth of grass*
No locality in the county is more than a
mile or two from timber, the principal varie-
ties of which are post-oak, black jack, cotton-
wood, burr-oak, cedar, pecan, walnut, elm.
hack berry, sycamore, live-oak and mesquite.
Large quantities of ptcaus arc annually
shipped to market.
hayes county.
Fine crops of corn have been made in this
section. Wheat and oats and other sma'l
grain have turned out as fine a yield per
acre as ever before; but owing to the recent
heavy rains, great quantities of small grain
have been destroyed. Farmers living oa Cot-
ton Wood Bank have been very seriously dam-
aged. One gentleman had about thirty acres
of w heat entirely swept away. Several others
were injured to a considerable extent. The

Echo: A train of six wagons, loaded with
over one thousand buffalo hides, passed
through town on Monday.... Over six hundred
acres of cotton growing in the northwestern
quarter of this county Staoley Cooper says
he has cotton growing on his farm, four miles
from town, which will measure thsee feet

Jacksboro Heavy freight wagons pass
through town every day from Griffin loaded
with nuffalo hides, bound for Sherman and
Fort Worth, returning loaded with lumber
and merchandise There are some fine
farms in the Poland valley, conspicuous
among which are those of Brummitt, Duke
and Wilson. There is also a large amount of
splendid land not yet under cultivation. Ten
years hence this will be the garden spot of
the county. Less attention is paid to the
raising of cattle than of horses. In 110 part
of the State can there be found better horses
than can be seen in Roland valley. In our
ramble in the country last week we saw and
heard many things of interest. Passing to
the northwest we found farm-houses 44 thick
and swarming as the buzzing summer flies,
where fifteen months ago one might travel
half a day and see no human habitation.
Ten mile prairie, situated in the north part of
the county, has a new farm-house on nearly
every quarter section. The inhabitants have
gone to work in earnest, with good results.
Wood and Freestone counties each owned
many broad acres of school lands, lying along
thejiorth border of the county, nearly all of
whicn has been taken up and improved; stil'.
there is room for more wide-awake, Indus
trious farmers. A postoffice has been • estab-
lished on the Henrietta road, near the Clay
county line, called Post !Oak. Eight miles
north cf the West Fork, on the Henrietta road,
lives Mr. Catiin, who has a wagon and black
smith shop and is busy from morn iill night.
Mr. Catiin came from Tarrant county one
year ago last winter, and has been the means
of inducing many families to settle in this
portion of the county, especially on Crooked
creek. He tells us that in a radius of five
miles over two hunired families have settled
within the last fifteen months- A saw-mill
and cotton gin in this neighborhood are want-
ed. A new road has been laid out from Jacks
boro to the Montague county line. Cotton, as
a general thin?, is looking well and "squar-
ing " finely. Corn is fine. Wheat, barley and
oats are generally good, although the effect
of the long dry fall is seen 011 the wheat.

The residence of Mr. John C. Oatman, Dis
trict Clerk of Llano countv, was destroyed by
fire on the night of the 12th. It was supposed
to be the work of an incendianr. The records,

saved. The destruction of these papers was
probably the object of the incendiary.
medina county.
This county owes much to the Franco-Texan
Company, under the leadership of Henry
Castro, the old Parisian banker, who intro-
duced the European immigrants of that colo-
ny, some thirty-live years ago. Castro is long
said dead; he was famous in the days of the
wars cf Napoleon and his successors in
France up to 1840; but Victor Tarde, who was
a member of Napoleon Bonaparte's 44Old
Guard,still lives at Castroville. Some old
Galvestonians rerr ember his sojourn in this
city, some thirty-five years ago. Col. Sweet,
who recently visited Castroville, says: He is
over 80 years old, erect elastic and stdl quite
a boy, although a grand old veteran, attesting
the healthtuluess of the climate in which he
has lived for so many long years In our
black jack and post oak forest—which com-
mences west of Castroville, and extends
southeast into the southeast corner of Medina
county, Atascosa, Bexar and lower down—fine
hogs are raided without any expense, that
bring from six to seven cents per pound,
dressed Water is found by digging a few
feet all over that country; timber abundant
for fencing and building purposes. The soil
can be broken w.th one yoke of oxen—corn
grows well with one rain—the cotton plant
grows to the height of nine feet, of extiaor-
dinar/size: the largest sweet potatoes and
watermelons are grown here, and find a ready
market in San Antonio, Castroville and other
towns. Lands can be acquired cheap in good
neighborhoods; but not less than one and
a-half dollars up to ten dollars per acre in
small quantities.

my crutches. I am mending rabidly. I think
your Liniment simply a marvel.
This Liniment cures Burns and Scalds with-
out a scar - extracts the poison from bites and
stings; cures Chillblains and
is very efficacious fer Ear ache, Tooth-ache,
Itch and Cutaneous Eruptions.
The Centaur liniment, Vellow
Wrapper, is intended for the tough fibres,
cords and muscles of horses, mules, and am
mals.

Rev. Geo. W. Ferris, ManorkiU, Schoharie
county, N. Y., says: .
44 My horse was lame for a year with a fet-
lock wrench. All remedies utterly failed to
cure, and I considered him worthless until 1
commenced to use Centaur Liniment, ^h*ch
rapidly cured him. I heartily recommend it.
ft makes very little difference whether the
case be 44 wrench," sprain, spavin or lameness
of any kind, the effects are the same. Ibe
trreat power of the Liniment is, however,
shown in Poll-evil, Big-head, Sweeny, Spavin,
Ringbone, Galls and Scratches. This Liniment
is worth c- illions of dollars yearly to the
Stock growers, Livery-men, Farmers, and
those having valuable animals to care for. v> e
warrant its effects, and refer to any Farrier
who has eyer used it.

4* Witness, the Honorable Morrison R. Waite,
[l. s.l Chief Justice of tbe Supreme Court of
the United States, this the 3d day of April,
A. D. 1877." '• A. E. BUCK, Clerk
44 By FRANK A. HAM. Dep. Clerk.
Similar injunctions have been issued
by the United States courts against the
unlicensed sale and use of Arrow
buckles that have been used once, as
follows:
In Tbe Axes. Cotton Tie Co . Limited, vs.
Chapman, New Orleans, 187o, in which Judge
Woods granted a restraining order (provision-
al or temporary injunction), and which was
heard on motion for the absolute injunction
by Judge Billings, the special defense was set
up, that the buckles used by the defendant
were "Arrow tie"" buckles, formerly made
and sold by the Company or its assignors, and
by them put on the market in the usual way,
and therefore that they had passed from un-
der the monopoly of the patent, and any one
could buj*, and sell, and use them freely,
without further license from the owners of
the patents.
On the hearing the defendant declared, in
unqualified terms and under oath, that he
had " never sold any ties or buckles except
those of the complainants and tteir assign-
ors. and of their mac ufacture,'' and had
•* never represented the ties and buckles sold
by him as anything else;" but the court held
that this did not constitute a valid defense,
and granted the injunction prayed for.
In The Amer. C. T. Co., Limited, va C. W.
Simmons et al., at Savannah in the Southern
District of Georgia, the defendants averred
their right to re-use upon pieced bands the
buckles stripped off the old bands formerly
sold by the Company and its predecessors;
but the court denied the existence of any
such right and granted an injunction.
In The Amer. C. T. Co., Limited, *s. Octa-
vrs Co en & Co., also at Savannah, piwisely
the same question aro-e, and was decided in
the same way. an injunction being granted.
So. also, in The Amer. C. T. Co., Limited,
vs. Groover, Stubbs & Co., at Savannah, the
defendants claimed that they were simply re-
using the old buckles of the Cotton Tie Com-
pany, but the court enjoined them all the
same.
