ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC RAILR0AD.--The presl-
dent of the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Com
pany, Hon r. j. Walker, and Hon. !. Butler
King, passed through town on last ST. IhuIsaay,
ON their way to Austin with $500, O00 to deposit
| with our State authorities, in compliance with
| the terms of their charter.
| Two years ago, says the Waco Era, there
were 400 acres of corn cultivated in the county
| Of McLennan This year there is at the least
1 computation over 5000 acres We are not pre-
| pared to state the amount of cotton and wheat
grown this year, but will furnish our readers
with the amount as soon as requisite intorma-
ton can be acquired.
We learn from the Nueces Valley that two
men were drowned in the Nueces River on the

vile. The Nueces had been unusually high.
TExANA.--In our recent trip to Texana fa-
yorable opportunity was afforded to us Of OBJ
serving the facilities Of navigation to that place,
After passing the bar at the mouth Of the La
yaca river, which generally has from two to
four feet water, the river presents one OF the
most beautiful streams for navigation we have
ever seen. The banks are generally high and
covered with heavy growth Of live oak, elm,
ash, pecan, and some few other varieties pecu-
liar to rich productive soils, and which afford an
abundance of good wood for fuel, and timbers
for posts and heavy structures generally. The
town of Texana is situated on the Navidad river
few miles above it's mouth, upon high eleva-
ton, and is by far the handsomest location for .
town that we have seen in the vicinity Of thu
coast. The steamer Troy runs regularly from
this place to saluria, touching at intermediate
points, and it is we'll adapted for the trade ant
navigation. jackson county, being situated OF
the Lavaca and Navidad rivers, is very rich ant
productive, and is settling up very fast w
understand that crops are very fine, especial,
corn. Cotton is growing rather too luxuriantl,
on account of the recent heavy rains. [Layac'

The Fayetteville ARK ) INDEPENDENT SAYS

We do not recollect ever to have witnessed as
discouraging times to farmers. The wheat of
the present harvest will hardly be sufficient to
resow the ground that raised it. The corn is
whiting, and if the dry weather continues till
the stalks harden, meal will be almost as scarce
as -four.
There is no indication of q change. Hope is
almost out of the question.

Too MUCH NIAGARA-We saw German
youth perform feat the other day, with a
street. washing hose, which, we would venture
little, he never will repeat. He was wetting
down the walk, and, for some purpose, desired
to stop the stream for moment, but there
being no pipe on the hose, he attempted to hold
it with his teeth! He succeeded pretty well for
a short time, but, in an unlucky fit of absent
mindedness, he released his hold, and then en-
sued scene! He seemed to fill up and run
over in second his face assumed purple
tinge, his eyes projected, and his hands waved
about insanely. Instead of letting go of the
tube, he started to run, and it was only when
he had stretched the hose to its length that it
fell from his mouth even then he did not stop
running. 1t was the most ludicrous result Of
stupidity We ever witnessed, buffalo Demo
crazy.

A New BUILDING MATERIAL.-From the Bos-
ton Chronicle we learn that spacious factory
is now being constructed in Waltham, Massa-
chusetts, from novel material. The walls are
made Of gravel, shapeless rocks, sand and small
stones mixed with mortar, making composition
which, when dry, will be as hard, firm and
durable as can be desired.
IT is said by architects that the material
promises to be quite as durable as brick, and
superior in all respects to wood, and that a
house can be built of it for tenth part of the
cost of a brick building of corresponding dimen-
sions. There is an octagon shaped dwelling
house now being completed in Somerville, the
walls of which are of this material. 1t is so
feet in diameter, and two stories in height.

A Constantinopie correspondent says that the
Turkish ladies are progressing rapidly, and in
proof, remarks that the wells grow thinner every
day. They are also growing more and more
sociable, according to the same authority, espe-
cially with their eyes. One of them, on recent
occasion, even went farther than this; she pre-
sented her handkerchief and q bouquet to a
handsome young ensign of q British regiment,
who happened to be strolling about that fashion
able resort of the Turkish ladies, the Sweet
Waters of Europe, at time when 1t was
crowded by hundreds of the fair sex. The poor
eunichs, sent out to guard the damsels, are
kept in a continual stew of uneasiness. They
dare not strike or even complain, if an English
or French officer goes SO far as to smile or kiss
his hand at any fair one committed to Their
charge, The old Turks dislike all this exceed
ingly, and scowl at the foreigners as they pass
but the women are fond of the attentions paid
them, and seem to have lost all terror Of sacks
and deep sea- bathing in the Bosphorus.

A disgraceful scene occurred at the Cathe-
dral, yesterday afternoon. An Irishman, named
Timothy Gallan, brought the body OF his child
to receive the rites of the church. These, for
some reason, the Bishop refused; and several d
the funeral party informed US that the refusal
was caused by the fact that Callan retailed
liquor upon Water street, despite the Bishops
orders that he should give up the traffic. Even
if this were SO, the query is natural one
whether, in free country, the discipline OF the
church should leave the father to follow the
corpse of an infant
Callan rayed like mailman, swore terribly

to tear the coffin from the carriage in which il
was placed. The mother plead with the father
