The anniversary of the organiza-
tion of Sam Houston Fire Company,
Sherman, which occurs on the 27th
inst., is to be celebrated in an appro-
priate manner. The Dallas lire de-
partment have been invited to be
present and participate. There will
be a grand ball at night.
The Houston Telegraph had a
long and rambling editorial the other
day on the Sabbath, to which the
Statesman replied in a forcible ar-
ticle, showing there was nothing in
the teachings of Christ or his apos-
iles making it obligatory to keep
any day holy. The editor ot the
Telegraph makes a lame cllort to
reply to the Statesman, in his last
issue, but only shows his ignorance.
No man conversant with church his-
tory would say, as does the Tele
graph, that Sunday has been ob-
served as a holy day for eighteen
hundred and seventy-five years.
Christ did not teach, either by pre
cept or example, neither did his
apostles nor the early fathers, that
one day in seven should be observed
as holy time.
A controversy took place in Chi-
cago, some years since, between the
clergy of that city and the Times
newspaper, and the former were
utterly routed and driven from the
field. The New Testament and
history were both shown to be
against the clergy.
District Attorney Britton of Brook-
lyn, addressed letters to Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher and Francis D.Moul-
ton, suggesting that the public inter-
ests would be bestserved by entering
a nolle pros, in the case of Henvy
Ward Beecher against Francis D.
Moulton for libel. Mr. Beecher in
reply concurs in the disposition ot
the case as suggested by the district
attorney. Mr. Moulton says he can-
not acquiesce in the action proposed
and concludes his letter as follows:
“I am indicted for libel in charg-
ing Rev. Henry Ward Beecher with
criminal intercourse with a female
member of his congregation. The
charge is true. He knows it to be
true, and whatever the imperfections
of man’s tribunals, the Supreme Ru-
ler will some day reveal the truth,
and vindicate the right for speaking
the truth and nothing but the truth,
and that, too, under a challenge and
in defense of my own character and
the character of her whose good
name is dearer to me than life itself.
1 have been arraigned as a criminal,
compelled like a felon to plead with
uplifted hand ; subjected to the igno-
miny of bonds against an escape from
justice; loaned with obloquy by the
public press; frowned upon and
avoided by society, and now, alter
the indictment against me has served
its purpose, by discrediting, in ad-
vance, a witness of Rev. Mr. Beech-
er’s guilt, and it is apparent to you,
as it is to the world, that I am inno-
cent and must be acquitted at this
moment and under these circum-
stances. I am requested to acquiesce
in a nolle prosequi, and to sutler my
accusor to Jescape the penalty of his
perjured prosecutions. Never, nev-
er, sir. 1 demand a trial, and shall
be ready on any reasonable notice to
make good my defense. Very re-
spectfully. Francis D. Moui.ton.

The Hannibal Clipper narrates a
most singular accident which occur-
red in that city a few days since.
Avery Saunders, an old gentlemen,
picked up a paper and taking a chair
out onto the porch of his house sat
down4to read. The chair was one
of those back-woods articles, which
are three inches too low, and the
sudden force with which he came
down produced a severe shock, caus-
ing abdomonial hernia of an aggra-
vated nature. A physician was sent
for, and the bowel replaced. The old
gentlemen suffered intensely, until
the operation was performed.
Any one who has traveled in the
interior of Texas can very well imag-
ine the sensations of Mr. Saunders
when he came down to a sitting pos-
ture on that old splint-bottom. The
effect is very much what it would be
if the ground should suddenly drop
from under you, at the same time
that a No. 12 boot lifted you from
the rear. They are murderous insti-
tutions which should be suppressed
by law. Mr. Saunders has reason to
he thankful that he was not killed
outright. _____
