MURDERS IN TExAs.-Within the last two years.
few, very few, murders, or instances OF heinous
crime of any Sort have occurred in this portion OF
Texas. We feel confident that, during this period,
our annals have been as pure as those of Kentucky
Virginia. and other old States But county's
record is at length stained by foul, base murder.
Some two or three months ago, William Hobby,
the son of planter IN this county, went with his
wagon and team and load of cotton to Grand
Ecore
AT the expiration of the time required for such
trips, man by the name of Franks returned with
the wagon moving his family therein TO Texas and
stating TO the father of William Hobby that he had
gone TO Tennessee, and employed him Q'ranks) to
bring the wagon home. After the lapse of weeks,
and perhaps months, nothing being heard from the
young man, his father started in pursuit and search
for any intelligence of him. Hearing that a mutt
lated, vulture-eaten carcase OF a man had been
found some eight or ten miles this side of Grand
Ecore. he examined the clothing and papers, and
identified them those of his son. Mr.. III. hav-
ing gathered what information he could, and which
led HIN strongly TO suspect Franks returned. A
company of citizens from this town went in pursuit
of the murderer, and apprehendcd Franks and
negro Upon examination, Franks was set at
liberty, and the negro brought to this Jail. His
confessions were that he had seen the murder COM
mtted-that the man was Knocked on the head with
an axe. The negro is OF VIGOROUSLY bad charac-
ter; has once shota Mr.. Hunt and two other times
attempted murder There being no legal process
against him in this State, Mr.. Ii. with few others
started with him to louisiana and report Is, that
he threw his clothes into the face of Mr. HIS horse
so that he scared and threw him and before H.
recovered, or others came up, the negro escaped
into the woods, and is now at large. As there Is
no doubt of his guilt, it is to be hoped he will be
caught
II is reported, that at place called ''The Point"
IN Pamela county, a bloody scene occurred on
thursday last. Some men were playing cards.
Two OF them, doctor and a young man, (names
not remembered,) fell out, and concluded to
nave hght with their sts-went out, stripped

1896, at the conclusion of which he resigned, and

various stations. lie will take charge Of the mails

be very large and will, on his arrival out have the
general charge of the Post Office Department in
Oregon and California. We understand that Mr.
Jesse Sllnguh Hambleton, (he junior member of
the dry goods house of HambetOn IL Sons of this
city,) will accompany Colonel Allen, in an official
capacity, and that he also left here this morning,
for New York, to sail thence in the Falcon Mr.
llambleton carries with him the best wishes of all
who know him, for his welfare in the distant
country to which he is going. The duties which
will be dcvolved upon these gentlemen will be
most responsible; and, from the large number of
emigrants who have gone out TO California, leaving
friends behind, who will be anxious to hear from

On he Third avenue there is a house
where one family, residing on the third
floor, takes one of the morning papers,
while another family, who occupy the
second floor, subscribe for two Others.
The carriers throw the three papers into
the hall early each morning, and the fam
ily on the third fiOer send down their
large dog for their copy. With the ut
most,regnlarity, this sagacious quadrapcd
which WIS reared on Prince Edward
Island. selects it from among the three
journals, carries it upstairs in his teeth,
and delivered it to his mistress, never at
any time making mistake as to the pa
per. Although the dogs movements
have been carefully watched, during sew
er7,l mornings, no one has been able to
offer any reasonable conjecture as to the
means the dog uses to distinguish the
journal his master subscribed for from the
