in Missouri in 1918 and s19 and engaged in exploring
It's mineral geography, induces 10 notice in
Mr. kagfman's remarks respecting the place of Mr. Aus
tins birth.
Moses Austin, esq, the iather-beter known in Span
ISL Texas as Don Felipe Austn-was native of Durham,
Virginia where he married Miss Fuller, and where
his son Stephen was born He afterwards settled in
Wythe county, in the part OF that State, and
engaged in working the lead mines that district Hear
ing OF the mineral wealth of Upper louisiana his ardent
and enterprsng character led him to resolve visiting
the country early as the state OF Indian hostlites
1884, crossing the wilderness from the falls of the Ohio
and taking Vncennes, the Wabash, in his track Be-
tween the latter place and St Louis, his guide lost the
trail and he encountered severe peris but well re-
ceved by the Spanish governor of the town, who gave
him permission TO visit the mines situated the waters

the Nine Burton creek, where Potosi stands, as
boon for the introduction into that province of the

son, who had the autumn previous visited Red river,
projected settlement in Texas. grant of land was
obtained the Brazos, the condition of bringing in,
within limited time, stated number of families. Mr.
Austin, the elder returned to Missouri, flushed with
for the purpose of preparing to avail himself of
the grant but died, suddenly, at the house of his daugh
ter, Mrs. Bryan, of Hazel run. His son Stephen who

men and clear foresight united to energy of character

The opposition have made an issue in the coming
test which Is pregnant with evil and is designed TO I'M
demne the fair fabric of our glorious republic. The
subolned extracts, taken from wing paper the ALE
ghenan," published in this county, will convince the
most sceptcal that rule ruin inscribed upon the
federal banners for the next campaign. The g AL
eghenian OF the nth April 1885, speaking of Mr. Clay,
says:

others were present until daylight this morning.
Mrs. Adams was at the side of her husband.
Owing to distress of mind, and bodily fatigue,
she was, at about four o'clock, attacked with
spasms, from which she recovered in an hour.
The two houses adjourned to-day, shortly after
they went into session.
This afte moon the general inquiry is, " How
is Mr.. Adams ~ His painful condition has
thrown gloom over the city A notice is posted
on the doors of the capitol, as follows -
