The editor of the Sunbury Gazette, having been
cornercd in n fasehood BY referring him TO his own
paper, was compelled to admit that we warmly sup.
ported, and wrote various articles in favor Of Mr..
Muhenburg, bot says that we voted for Ritner not
wiibstundng. In order TO crawl half way out Of one
falsehood, he meanly invcn,s another His next
assertion may be that we have attempted to poison
a neighbours well, apply torch to his dwelling.
The malevolence Of feeling that could induce him
To give birth to one false charge, in order crafty
his malsny, might readily prompt him to make
another, still more hagrant TO further his purpose
Mr.. foungman has voluntarily placed himself in
the attitude of ialsicr before the public-we will
use no harsher term. In this light he must he
viewed hy every honorable man convcrsant with the
election of 1885. His own personal friends in this
place will testify against him in This matter, and
we doub, whether he could find single individual
among his twenty lone political friends in this place
to hack his assertion. No honorable man at least
would DO so. There is no alternative left the Ga
1ettc. The editor must either acknowledge himself
a base falsfer, prove his assertions true. We
dare him to do this. Neither he his skuking
scrihher will undertake it.
We are now convinced, more than ever, Of the
truth of what we more than once suspected thai
the Gazette has been hired to do this dirty work. in
order to draw Off our attention from the dongs o
our Representative at Harrisburg. Let the Gazette
however rest easy on this score; we shall notice Mr.
Horton whenever we think it necessary for The pub
lie good, but in doing so shall always treat hin
as we have done heretofore, with proper degree o
respect, without abusing him or calling him har,
! names.
In regard to the fact Of one of the editors of tn
Gazette having supported Ri,ncr in 1892, it is to-
well known in this place to admit of doubt Th
junior editor, however, may have been too green 1

When the Gazette can establish its character 70

TENAS--M URDER.-LIN LAW-LAST
OF THE YOAKI1N GANG

We have been put in possession of the facts
IN relation to this affair." which is one among
the last Texas tragedies. The citizens Of JET.
| ierson County, it appears, have long suffered
from their numbers and total rccklessness OF
character, it seemed impossible to arrest their
injuries by the hand of civil power Cattle had
| been stolen, robberes committed and citizens
Insulted and murdered but still, whenever anv
were arrested on the charge, the gang came
forward with periured oaths, and they were ac.
quilted. "foakum" was hardened into the
most nveterate degree of crime, and seemed
but to reap enjoyment in pursuing the most
flendlsh acts of robbery and murder. 1t is a
most singular instance of the effects of habit
lie was rich and atfuent planter and lived in
a sumptcous and most magnificent manner
kept splendid equippage-ownedo over hund.
red negroes, and large tracts of land--had con-
stantly about hundred breeding unreasonable
yearly sale of about fifteen hundred cattle,
and had large revenue coming in from other
sources. There is no doubt but that he was the
richest man in Texas. Yet with all this wealth
his disposition TO plumber knew no bounds.
The cause of his death arose from an abor
tive attempt to murder Mr. Carey, of Houston
county. Mr.. c. is highly respectable and
wealthy citizen of Houston, and was at the time
staying at the residence of Yoakum. lie was
'PNN'SN " "h''"5 '"i &c suiIi vi money win
him, and foakum determined that he should
be murdered while in bed. The plan was prop.
crly matured during the day. and every thing
placed in readiness for its commission. Moth.
ing remained but the darkness of the niuht.
Then the pulse had to beat its last throb and
the cold hand of death steal away the last ey.
pring breath. Fortunately faithful negro
servant of Mr. Carey heard of the intended
murder, and communicated the design to his
master in sufficient time to leave him chance
of escape. lie managed to do this, and when
sufficiently out of the reach of Yoakum made
the facts public to The citizens. The people no
sooner heard of it than they were satisfied OF
It's truth for the good character of Mr.. c. is
proyerbial
a meeting was held which resulted in the
formation of all armed corps exceeding one hnn-
dred in number who resolved to drive the whole
gang out OF the country. This they proceeded
TO do /; but, in the mean time Yoaklin heard of
his plot having been detected and fearing the
indignation OF the people, had lett his plantation
and, in company with some of his gang and ne.
groes, started for the West. When the corps
heard OF this, they Immediately gave him pur.
suit. 1t was not long before they found out his
route; and, soon after, both parties met at place
called Big Cypress, near Houston. Here por.
ton OF his gang resided. The corps shot Yoak

Healthy Residence. is no cir
cumstances connected with health concern
ing which the public are, in my opinion, so
i'll informed as the requisites of healthy re-
s'dence, both as regards local position and
internal construction. In this island we
have chiefly to guard against humidity, on
which account our houses should not be built
in low, confined situations, nor too near wa.
ter, especially when stagnated and still less,
near marshes. Neither should house be
too closely surrounded by trees or shrubs
Trees at some distance from house are
both an ornament and an advantage, but be-
come injurious when so near as to overthrow
it, or prevent the air from circulating freely
around it and Thoughts various apartments.
The atmosphere of a building overhung by
trees, or surrounded by thick shrubbery. is
kept in constant humidity, except in the
driest weather and the health of tho inmates
rarly fails to suffer in consequence.

ATTENTION TO STRANGERS.


The political feelings Of our large cities,
seem for some time past to have given way
to disposition to show cviltes to some dis
tinguished foreigners, who have lately visited
our country. The Prince dc Joinvillc, son
of the King of France, and Lord Morpeth,
from England, have shared largely in the
inequalities of New York and Boston. The
entertainments to the latter were got up by
his countrymen residing in New York, but
we're shared by many Of our own citizens
Attentions of this kind to strangers Of eeva-
ted standing and character in their own coun-
tries, have tendacy 10 promote good feel
ings towards our country, and its character,
and cannot in any way, that we can imagine,
be productive of any bad consequences. l,
is of great importance to us to cultivate
friendly feelings both with England and
France, and occasions like those which have
been alluded to are calculated to produce
such an effect.
