himself by endorsing for relative, who
became deeply embarrassed and failed.

To those who pay attention to the signs
in the Heavens, the following has its in

man of this city observed in the northern
sky, near the horizon, shortly subsequent
to shutdown, figure that excited his curl
oslty-not to say his establishment. 1t wa.
blood. red, IN the form Of naked sword
kept its place for some fifteen minutes,
when it sunk beneath the horizon, near
which it was. He supposed it TO have
been the moon, and that its strange and
unusual appearance was occasioned by
some magnliying property in the haze
which tloated in the horizon; others may
offer more strange solution Of this phe.
nomenon.

these spots considerably weakened the ray!

IMPORTANT FROM TEXAS.

The accounts from Texas give every
reason TO believe that annexation will take
place. In fact, il is stated that there is no
opposition to the measure, except what
comes from the office holders and large
towns. Public meetings have been held
in several counties and the people have al.
most TO a man declared for annexation. 1t
appears that the proposition has been sub.
mit,ed TO the Texan Government as con.
tanned in Mr.. Browns resolutions, Mr..
Polk as well as Mr.. Tyler, conceiving it
impraciicable TO effect the measure un.
der Mr.. Benton'S plan. The n. o Bee
