DEATH OF VIM. L. GlLBERT.-T'iic
Galveston News Of September 29th
saws, /" A horrid murder was committed
at San Antonio, Texas, on the 10th,
in the store of Vance Brothers & Co.,
which resulted in the death of VIM. Il.
Gilbert formerly of Prairie du Chem
who was in the employment OF the Ord
nance Department, who received two
wounds both of which were mortal,
from six-shooter shot by a Mr.. Var
rington formerly of Galveston. One
of the balls entered the right side, and
penetrated the heart the other went
through The neck seyering The lugular
vein. Mr.. Warrington acted in seli-de-
fence, Mr.. Gilbert having broken cane
over his shoulders, and inflicted shot
wound from a six-shooter. Warrington
was arrested and admitted to bail IN the
sum of $1,000"
This agrees with the information re-
ceived few days since by our Postliss-
ter from DR.. Wright, Surgeon IN the
United States Army stationed at oan
Antonio. who was acquainted with the
unfortunate young man and his afflicted
parents, when stationed at Fort Craw-
ford. He writes that Mr.. Gilbert was
highly esteemed and respected by all
who knew him. a.

1.-THE Gold Mines lately discovered
in Venezuela, South America, are at
tracing many persons from the West

more abundant than that of California,
and the short distance to the U. States

over our Eidorado.

ANNALS FROM AFRICA AND SPAIN.
-.fn .9rdbiaD Pony-Bar5ary Horse
I'm african Wild Boar.-Thos. II. Ivy
att, Esq, our late Consul at Tangier, on
his return 10 this country, few days
since, brought with him several animals,
all Of which are interesting from their
rarity, and some Of them are likely to
be useful in this country. Among them
are horse Of the Barbary stock, am Ar
abian pony, a wild boar from the Atlas
mountains, beautiful species of ARR
can partridge, several rare kinds of
doves, and a pair Of pigs and some fine
fowls from the south Of Spain.
The horse was left with gentleman
in New York; the other animals, with
the exception of tie Spanish fowls,
were taken by Mr.. Hyatt TO Rochester.
The pony is Of elegant form, and is
said to be remarkable for speed and en-
durancc. The wild boar is young, and
does not yet show any of The ierocity
for which his race is distinguished. He
is a singular animal, bearing but a distant
resemblance to the domestic pig. His
head is rather long, the face straight and
narrow, the ears very small and upright,
the back arched, the legs long and slen-
der. His coat is more like hair than
bristIes. and Of an iron gray color
What will be the effect Of mingiing this
blood with the domestic stock, cannot be
told at present, but we should suppose
the stock of such a cross, would be likely
to suit such farmer as wish their hogs to
be able to o,a-run dOgs.-.9lbany CUT.
