"Friend Green, Of the Boons Lick Times,
why don't you send us your paper? We have
not received but one number in two months or
more. In our gala days we were fond of your
society, and so were those dear, delightful, most
bsautful-what do you call 'em?-and we like
now to see your paper, for it reminds us of those
dear by gone days-Bahle AIe.
We send it regularly, and cannot account for
its non.ariva. We have not forgotten you, and
to tell the truth, we occasionally think Of 'those
dear, delightful. most beautiful S X
who were, as you say, 'lond Of our society,"
Those ''gala days" have been source OF great
consolation in the trials and temptations we have
had 10 encounter, and the arrival OF the Battle Axe
never fails to remind us of the friends and
com panions OF our youth, whose bright counte

FROM TEXAS.

Late accounts from Texas give the par
ticulars of terrible storm at Galveston,
by which a considerable portion of the
town was severely injured. Two Churches,
and great number of stores and dwellings
were destroyed. Much injury was also
done TO the vessels in port.
The Mexicanshave again invaded Texas.
On the l 1th ult. thirteen hundred Mexicans
under Gen. Wall, completely surprised and
took possession of San Antonio. The
Circuit Court was in session and the Judge
and officers were taken prisoners. The
Texans were making rapid preparations
to attack the invaders.
The war steamer built by the English
Government for the Mexcans had arrived
at Vera Cruz, and is manned and Differed
by Englishmen, and they were daily ex-
pecting another vessel from England manned
and Differed as the war steamer This
will complete their fleet. and it is reported
the Government was about to dispatch the
feet on an expedition TO Texas, with the
object of making an attack and landing
troops on the coast

COUNTERFEIT MONEY.

Counterfeit notes on the Bank of Mis-
souri, are in circulation. We have not
seen one of the notes. The following dis
cription is from the Democrat of Tuesday:
,Ghe note before us is of the denomination
of $50, on the mother bank, bears date the
the lst of July, 1888, letter B, No. 22s5,
and is remarkably well executed, both as
regards the engraving and the filling
up. The points in which it differs, are,
that the paper has blue'sh cast, and is
much thinner than that of the genuine
the signatures are near the lower right
hand of the note-the note is slightly
shorter than the genuine, and the cast of
the head of General Jackson, is darker
Upon the whole, close inspection will be
necessary to detect the counterfeit from
the genuine notes.

SPONTANEOUS CONFESSIONAL singular
case of spontaneous combustion has been
exhibited in our streets within the last few
days by the ignition of a pile Of bitumi-
nous coal which had been thrown out from
a wagon, where it lies, several weeks since.
1t has been found impossible to extinguish
it. and it is rendered certain that it has ia
ken fire "of its own accord" This fact
established, the mooted point upon that
subject. in relation to the arrangement of
fuel for steam ships will again be revived,
and probably new opinion settled upon.
