FROM TEXAS.

The steamship Yachl. Captain Crane,
reached here yesterday, having left Gal
weston OIL the 18th. We have our files OF
papers to the 18th.
A melancholy accident occurred on the
l2lh. The U. s. steamer Ann Chase
while off The mouth Of the Sabine, burst
one of her boilers, killing two men and
scalding several Others. Captain Harrison,
in his account ofthe matter; says: "About
FIVE O'Clock A. NJ, when about to hoist
anchor aud get under way, after having
laid six hours previous, with little or no
steam, and before we had got up our usual
quantity, the star5oard boiler rent under.

The bursting Of this boiler rendered the
starboard battery of the engine useless,
aud having no canvass, it was by the
greatest exer,ion, and favorable weather,
that he managed to reach Galveston with
the Two remaining boilers.

There arrived yesterday IN our city. by
the schooner Home, from Tampico, John
Sw:sert, John Scott, w Holemah, of

and w. P. Denowitz, Of Capt. Heady's

tured last FEBRUARY near Encarnacion by a
large Mexican force under General
Minon.
These gallant fellows, who are very
young men escaped from their guard at
at the town Of Huequella, about forty
leagues from Tampico, and reaching the
latter place in safety, after most Perilous
aud trying march, embarked for this port
in the schr. Home.
In very gratifying interview with MIR.
SwiserI, one Of these young men, we have
learned many interesting purlicularsof the
capture, sufferiDss, trials and adventures
of Major Gaines party. To relate all The
interesting and romantic incidents, so
modes,ly and forcibly detailed 10 US by this
brave young Kcntuckian, would swell out
narrative quite beyond the compass of our
paper. We trust that tho task Of snatchinS
from oblivion aud handing down to pns-
terity faithful record of the stirring in
cidenls connected with the capture and
march of this party will be assumed aud
discharged by some Of the very capable
officers or soldiers who participated in

applications was from young officer in
The Prussian army, and closely connected

To Practising Physicians.

Pills may be taken, Unnecessary, for any

A LECTURE FROM MRS. BROWN.
Why don't yon take Paper, Mr.. Broom.

Why don't yon take Paper, .Mr. Bro.on?
Why don't you take a paper, Brown!
I'm sure it is a shame,
Tha. we can't get the news from town
Before its old and tame!
There's Deacon Jones across the way,
Who gets one every week,
And he can beat you all, they say,
When called upon to speak.
The reason, sir, is plain, you know,
For when he reads it through,
His words like milk and honey flow,
And all he tells is new.
So he is taken by the hand,
For what he can impart;
While old and young around him stand,
And say the Deacon's smart'
Oh! is it not shame, I say,
To hug your purse so tight,
When mere bit of yellow clay
Would set this matter right
What good is gold, now can you tell,
To any of our kind,
Unless it Keeps the body well,
And benefits the mind!
Why don't you take paper, Brown!
I'm sure it is a shame,
That we can't get the news from town
Before its old and tame!
Now let us quit this simple way,
And take worthy start,
And ere year our friends will say,
The Browns are getting smart
