SHEEP RAISING IN TExAs.--A correspon-
dent Of the Newburyport (Mass.l Herald
visits Kendall, (ate editor of the New Or
leans Picoyune,) at his Texas home. He
tells it thus: u 81 81 EaA,Ns-l
"The evening of the second day out, we
arrived at Kendall's rancho. found it a
site for fine estate, when developed and
improved; symmetrical valley of some
hundreds of acres with a brook running
through il, inclossd on the four sides by
ranges of low hills. Its location is "a miles
due west from New Braunfels, and 30 from
his own residence. Here in charge of an
intelligent Scotch shepherd, and subject to
his own weekly inspection, are his great
flocks, amounting in the aggregate to nearly
or quite 5000 sheep and lambs.
lie sheared this year, three thousand four
hundred sheep, yielding, as he told me, thir-
teen thousand pounds of wool, for which he
would realize thirty cents per pound. This
years increase of his flocks was fifteen hun
dred lambs, worth, as they are three-quarters
or seven-eighths Merino blood, two dollars
per head, week Old. This, you will see,
yields the snug little income Of seven thou
sand dollars, all of which is deserved by Mr.
Kendall for his perseverance in the business,
conducted for time under difficulties that
would have been discouraging to any man
of less energy of character. Ga Es EDS
His sheep, under his present system, are
| easily managed, but require constant care
| They are divided into four flocks, each with
its own herder and shepherd. The dogs
are turned out at sunrise to range the hill
sides and return at evening. Ii is pleasant
to see them come in about the sunset hour
a cloud of dust at four different points o
the horizon; the plaintive bleating of thu
sheep and lambs growing louder as they
approach; then the sheep running hithel
and thitber; the weary shepherds with thei
broad-brim hats, and pistols in their belts
and the active and baying dogs

A MURDERER CAUGHT Some two years
agO.a brutal murder was committed at Tin =,
pecanoe, Miami county Ohio, by a man
named Jacob V. Forester The murderer
made his escape, and was not heard of until
some two weeks since, when the ex-Sheriff
of Owen county, in this State, wrote to Sher
if Hustler, of the county where the murder
was committed, that Forester was at Cos,
port and could be arrested. Measures were
taken 10 secure Forester and bring him TO
justice, and on Tuesday, Sheriff Hustler,
with the Prosecuting Attorney Of the county,
J, Il. Janvier, Esq appeared in this city on
their way to Gosport Sheriff Hdstler, fear
ing that Forester would recognize him, de-
termined, after his arrival here, TO make the
arrest through Deputy Sheriff Robinson
Aftor procuring requisition from the Gov,
erDor, Messrs. Hustler, JanVier and Robin
son left this city for Greencastle-the latter
going to Gosport and the others remaining
at Greencastle. Forester had received
some tidings Of the approach Of officers and
took good care to be hard TO find.
Mr. Robinson had no description Of the
murderer, and as he had assumed the name
Of Anderson, "e was not able TO make sure
of his prey. Without losing any time he
went to Spencer in buggy, and procured
the services of the Sheriff of Owen county
who accompanied him to Gosport and assist
ed in making the arrest FORESTER had So
creted himself in an upper room, which was
reached by two pairs OF stairs-intending to
descend by one If the officers should ascend
by the other, The officers took the precau
ton, however, to separate, and 70 up both
stairs at the time. They came into the room
simultaneously, seized and ironed Forester
to his great dismay, took him to the railroad
station, and after waiting thirty minutes Mr..
Robinson had him in the cars en- route for
