An aged farmer named VV. 13.
Cook, living near Marshall, feeling
a chill come on at the breakfast ta-
ble, took what he supposed was a
dose of quinine but what proved to
l^e strychnine. He died at the table.
Mr. Eddy lost on Wednesday the
last one of his pet bears. It seems
that bruin managed to get rid of his
chain sometime during the morning,
and concluded to take a walk around
town. During his perambulations
he probably got hold of some poi-
soned meat throw n out for dogs, and
shortly after his recapture died.
ippears to us that more care
uld he used by those engaged in
lasting wells. Several times large
pieces of rocks have been thrown
great distances from the places where
the blasting was done,at the imminent
risk of life. Thursday a large piece
of rock was thrown into Main street,
near where several gentlemen were
engaged in conversation. It was
from a blast on Skiddy street, where
a well is now being sunk.

letters the word “Yeidell’s,” and in
the centre is the figure of Gainbri-

certainly done in an exellent manner,
and reflects great credit upon the de-

We had the pleasure of meeting
Mr. William Orr, editor and propri-

and Pilot, Chester, Petinsylyanh.
Mr. Orr is visiting this State with
the object of looking up a suitable
location for a colony ot about twen-
ty-five families from Chester county,
and will make a trip through our
county for that purpose.
The editor of the News is
again placed under obligation to Mr.
G. Alkire, an old friend and patron;

one-half miles from Denison. Sever-
al of them measured one foot in cir-
cumference. Where is there a state
that can heat North Texas for grav-
ing apples, we ask. ^
as a
candidate for County Attorney.
Judge Cockrell is well known to our
citizens as a successful attorney.
He is a gentleman whose age and
experience before the courts of the
county fit him for the position lie
seeks, and this coupled with the
fact that he has very extensive ac-
quaintance in all portions of the
county, makes his chances for elec-
tion decidedly favorable. He rests
his claims to the office solely upon
his merits, and asks the support of
no one who does not think he pos-
sesses the ability to fill the position
with credit.

the Ameiican reprint of the Ency-

Thursday. This is the largest and
best cylopedia ever published in the
English language, and is used as the
basis and model of all similar publi-
cations. No library is complete
without it. It will be complete in
twenty-one large volumes, seven of
which are now ready. A volume is

We were favored with a call
Thursday evening from John E.
E. Barbour, Esq., a young attorney
from Ottowa, Kansas, who visits our j l'iat ^ s^ou*^ generally introduc-
growing State for the purpose Qf | ed in ouri <%’ Volymes one and
making it his home and practicing
his profession. Mr. Barbour im-
We have just been shown, and
have carefully examined an invention
recently patented by Rev. Mr. Cot-
tingmam, which bids fair to do away
entirely with wooden ties on -the
leading railroads of the world at no
distant day. We do not hesitate to
say that in our humble opinion it is
one of the most perfect, and at the
same time, most important inven-
tions of the age, and this is not our
individual opinion alone, which
might not be considered of especial
weight on a subject of this kind, but
it is the expression of skillful rail-
load men who have critically exam-
ined it.
Its simplicity of construction is
truly wonderful, while its mechani-
cal accuiacy defies the most scienti-
fic criticism. Its adaption to the pur-
poses for which it is intended, is so
apparent that its points of superority
over the old tie force themselves
upon the casual observer, and men
skilled in mechanical inventions pro-
nounce it a wondeiful success. At
first sight it impresses one with the
beauty of its construction, the per-
fect adaptability of its several points
and its great simplicity. Evei^ re-
quirment of a perfect tie—strength,
durability and safety—seem to be
combined in this mechanism. But
admiration gives way to astonish-
ment when you are assured by the in-
ventor that the smallest of the three
sizes ot these ties will cost only
about one dollar and ten cents, while
it furnishes from two to six inches
more supporting surface than the
ordinary wooden tie.
A clamp fastening secures the
rails to the tie, which is simple
and cheap, and yet so secure that
casualties by the displacement of
the rails are impossible. The fish
plate is superceded entirely, and the
ends of the rails are secured and
held together without the aid of bolts,
screws or taps, yet they are held as
firmly in place as though welded.
The tic is so constructed that a large
portion of it is under ground, taking
hold of the road-bed so firmly that
in the judgment of leading railroad
men in Chicago, who have carefully
examined this invention, it will be
much safer than it is possible to
make the wooden tie.
Thinking men realize the fact that
in the near future railroading must
stop throughout the civilized world,
if a substitute lor the wooden tie can
not be found, and we think, as Mr.
Cottigham’s attorney expressed it,
“The history of the wooden tie is
written and the Cottingham Wrought
Iron Tie is the tie of the future.”
Mr. Cottingham’s patent in the
United States hears date July 23d,
1S7S, and the necessary steps have
been taken to secure patents in Can-
ada, England, and France, and very
soon it will he patented in all the
leading governments of Europe.

The Senate.
A person in this city received the
following tetter from a biother in
New Mexico, dated Roswell, (N.
M.) July 10th, which shows that the
people of that section are enjoying a
little civil war:
I have not written for some time
owing to the sad state of affairs in
this part of the country. We are all
under arms. There is a mob of
twenty-five in number, now within
four miles of 11s. We weie over
there and they fired on us, forcing us
to retire. YVe are only fifteen in
number, but we expect to be rein-
forced in a day or s > by the sheriff
and a posse of forty-five or fifty men
and two companies of soldiers. We
have been under arms for three
months, and I don’t know how much
longer we will have to be. My part-
ner, Charlie Kreiling, was wounded
a short time ago, shot through both
legs just above the ankles, hut he is
getting along very well. He is in
the hospital at Fort Stanton. At the
same time lie was wounded the sher-
iff and several others were killed.
The mob say they will kill all ot us.
We will very likely kill several of
them first. YVe were under fire half
a day about a month ago—they were
in houses and vve were in the crock
bottom.
The Sheriff’s posse had several
•fights with them in the mountains,
and succeeded in killing several of
their horses and running the 1110b
out, hut they returned yesterday, and
are now fortified in J. S. Chisom’s
house, at the head of South Spring
river, four miles from us at Roswell.
John S. Chisom and McSwcem are
paying the mob three dollars a day
besides giving them all they can
make. YY'e cannot either move or
stay at home unless we do it in a
body. Bob and three others captur-
ed one of the mob, but let him go
upon his promine not to fight us
any more; but he is again in arms
against us. This will he a bad Fall and Winter Stock,
