Horrible AFFAIR IN Texas.

A terrible affair took place about
eight miles east Of Greenville, Texas.
on the Sd ult.. between school teach
er by the name oi Moore and man by
the name ofHoward aud his four sons.
A letter in the Chicago Daily Press
says:
"Moore undertook to chas,iso How
ARDS son, about l2 years old, for wri-
ting indecent Ian guage in ayoung lady's
copy book. He had struck the boy
but four or five blows with switch,
when the boys brothers came iuto the
school-house with clubs. aud one of
them struck the teacher with a heavy
club on the forehead ind felled him to
the floor. The other struck the teach,
err several times while down, but the
teacher recovered himself and got out
his pocket-knife and drove them out OF
the house.
"But at this juncture the old man,
two other sons aud two sons. in law ar.
rived, and the old man rushed into the
house with a large dirk pocket knife.
Moore begged Howard to spare his life,
telling him he was then neatly dead
AT this time Moore had severe con,u.
sion on the forehead and was coveret
with blood. But Howard, disrega,dine
his eutreaties, rushed upon him and
plunged his long knife into him twice
on the right side, both Of which wounds
entered the cavity. Moore broke from
him, when Howard cut him on the RICH,
shoulder, making frigh,ful cash fou,
inches long and to the bone. With all
his Wounds, Moore bloke from the
house and ran twenty rods. The boys
outside threw clubs at him as he ran
one ortwo of which hit him.
"Moore was young man Of Sigh,
make. and poor health. who had late.
~ come to the State. He was man
OF unexceptionable character and 9
successful teacher. He will prubabl,
die of his wounds, victim of revenge
so low and despicable that humanity

Hay> Quite a change is being made

D1- Quite change is being made
in the motive power of some of the rail
roads. All the freight engines on the
Providence and Worcester road are now
run with coal, as are also all the pas
senger engines, excepting one, and that
is to be altered for coal. BY this
change it is ascertained that about one.
half of the whole expense for fuel is
saved. Aside from this saving in cx-
pense, the convenience Of burning coal
is so much greater than wood, that the
managers of the road would not be will
ling to return to wood, even if the trains
could be run with it at the same OK
pense. ....

A Card from the Fillibusters-A
Damper on Walker.

A circular signed by about one hun
dred OF Walkers army, has been pub
lished in the Costa Eican papers. This
circular acknowledges the great error
of those by whom it is male, in their
joining Walker in his mad enterprise,
and also the gratitude they feel to the
Costa Ricans for the kindness extend
ed to them. 1t concludes as follows:
"All we can say, is, God bless and
prosper the President and people of
Costa Rica. Never again, under any
inducements, shall our hands DO raised
against either, and when we arrive in
our country, where the bounty of Cos
to Rica is soon to send us, our voices
shall be raised loud and long in denun-
citation of the infamy of those who, from
interested motives, deceived US into an
unprovoked war against people who
have returned tho ill we have done
them, with kindness and compassion,
when reduced to want, humiliation, and
misery, by the above mentioned sys-
tenn of infamous duplicity and false rep.
rescntation.
"Again, we say, God bless Costa
Rica. 1t is our desire that this feeble
expression of our sentiments should be
published in every paper in the United
States, as warning on the one hand
and advice on the other, against future
designs upon the lives and welfare of
our countrymen, by infamous decisions
which can result in nothing but wrong,
suffering, humiliation, and death.
"There are now in the country a
round San Jose, more than sixty of our
friends and comrades employed by the
people, and paid much higher wages
than they pay their own countrymen.
They are all contcntcd and in good
condition, and if they were here with
us, We know they would gladly endorse
what we say" ...-. -,

A LOST WIFE.-The New Albany
Register informs US of Mrs. Robinson,
who recently resided with her husband
in the vicinity of Bethlehem, in Knox
county, Indiana, and who became en-.
amored of a young man named French,
of the same vicinity. An elopement
was planned, but the husband of the
lady getting an inkling Of what was
going on, called upon French and
charged him with the intention of run
ming away with his wife. French pro-
tested his innocence, when Robinson
gave him notice to leave the county
within two hours, or take the conse-
quences. French left, but sent her a
letter inviting her to meet him in Hi.
nois. Mrs. Robinson left her husband
and four children, but it appears did
not find French, who repaired to Vim
cenncs, Where he was recognized by a
citizen of Bethlehem, who held $45
interest in him. The citizen called
upon the sheriff for assistance to recover
what was his own, and after a sharp
race of mile or so, Mr.. French was
brought to, captured, and taken back
to town, where he was compelled to IL
quidate, though it cost him his horse.
There being no other legal charge a
gainst him, he was permitted to contin-
NC his journey in search of his "dcar
love-" as he was wont to call her
