HAVING purchased the right for all the

Patent, VIC are now prepared to furnish the best
CIRCULAR SAW-MILL,

PREFERENCE OVER ALL OTHER
Saw Mills. The saw has lateral vibration on
adjustable Rocker Boxes. and when thrown out
of line will recover itself by the action of the
driving belt while at the same time the arbour
has no lateral play in the boxes, and is made to
ft close with the shoulders TO prevent The oil
from getting out while in operation. A matter
of great importance where the motion is as rap
id as in Circular Saws.
The arrangement of this machine is so per-
feet, simple, and adjustable, that much thinner
Saw csR be used than is on any other Mill, there

From Texas.

The Galveston News says it appears to
be generally understood that the Legislature
will adjourn soon, and that an extra session
will be called in the spring, the principal
reason given that the new code of laws will
require more time for consideration than
can be given to it now.
The News states that Mexican who was
in Jail at Corpus Christi for killing one Of
his countrymen, was taken ont in the dead
hour of night by about twenty-five Mexi-
cans and Americans, and hanged to the first
tree.
Under the head of "fri ghtened to death,
tue same paper contains the following para
graph:
We learn that the Mexican who brought
the Indian news to town, referred to IN an-
other part OF our paper, became very much
frehted from seeing the indians, s,-went to
the priest, had his sins absolved, and died
Immediately afterwards
The San Antonio Texan, of the 9th ult.
says
"By private letter dated Bandera city
Nov. 10, we learn that the Indians had been
killing cattle, and the writer remarks that
the soldiers were encamped IL miles above,
and be and another person had to travel
most of the day to inform them of these In
dian depredations. Bandera City is some
10 miles from San Antonio. Our country
is SO large that it is almost impossible to

pass the Legislature will soon insure the ut
most safety to our citizens and their prop
erty.'

MjkIard Fillmore ami The Presideucv
At a meeting Of the American party IN

following resolution was unanimously ador,.
ed -
Resoioed, That MilIard Fillmore The
model President" is our choice for tbs
Chief Magistracy Of the United States in
1886, and that we present his name to the
American people for that high Office as
lone whom we best love, most admire, and
deem fitiest for the general needs :" conf
dent that bis election would be hailed with
qualification and delight by the true men Of
all parties who love the Union, the Consti
tuition and the Compromises, and in every
section Of the country wherever our banner
waves, and oar drum beat Is heard lie
has signaized his career by stern devotip
to the best interests of the nation knowing
and recognizing no geographical lines-"nO
North. no South, no East, no West" bis
public virtue and large nationality, tried by
every test, yet keeping step to the music
of the Union regardless of the cries and
clamors of the Aboitonists and NuFGers,
fearing neither and abhorrinc both, and
trusting to the ultimate judgment and ap-
prova of free and enlightened people
All that is said of Millard Fillmore is
quite true. We regard the resolution as
fitting tribute to the incorruptible politician,
the true patriot, the President without fear,
and above reproach, and the distinguished
statesman.
