THE EFFECTS OF Ir.-The Milwaukee Ner,
says that since Sickles shot Key, no less than
thirty-four men have been shot, or shot at by
injured husbands that we have account of.
Yes, and of this number, two of these shooting
injured husbands, 'that we have account of, "
have been sent to the Penitentiary. They made
the sad discovery that while rich Congress
man might take the law into his own hands, it
was quite grave crime for poor devil to do
it. The escape of Sickles, it is safe to say, will
get many an injured husband, who knows little

two prisoners, Miller and Walton-the former
charged with horse-st stealing-made their escape

sundry quotations from the Scriptures in justi-

Fourth of July at Texas Springs.

We have full account of the proceedings at
this, the biggest little town in the county on the
4th. Our friends will perceive that the crowded
state of our columns compels US, much against
our wish, to condense it.
E. NJ. SAKE officiated as President, j. D.
Lavery and S. W. Durant, as Vice Presidents,
Charles Youngs as Marshal of the Day, j. W.
Moody, as Assistant Marshal, and J. o. Welch
as Secretary.
Mr.. SAKE read the Declaration of Independ-
ence, and c. II. Sanderson delivered an eloquent
Grafton. j. 0. WEIGH also delivered some ap-
proprate remarks. An excellent dinner was
then served up at Cheda's Hotel, after which
Washington's Farewell Address was read by Mr.
SAKE, and the Star Spangled Banner sung by
the Texas Springs Gsee Club. 4 number of
appropriate regular and volunteer toasrs were
then drunk in sparkling wine. Among the
regular toasts was one which our vanity induces

Much credit is accorded to Messrs Mitchell,
Wroe, Thompson, Raby and franklin, for the
efficient manner in which they worked the ord
nance, (anvils). Three hundred guns were fired
during the day. The festivities of the occasion
closed with delightful dance. 1t is credtable
to Texas Springs to say that not word of dis
cord was heard during the day, nor drunken
man seen. We are sorry that we were not

AMERIcANIzATIoS OF CUBA--Hon Thomas
Butler King says the number of Cuban children
now at school in the United States may be esti-
mated at from six to ten thousand. Added to
this, the number of visitors from Cuba to the
United States, in the year 1858, was between ff-
teen and twenty thousand. In view of these
facts, the Savannah Republican thinks Cuba will
soon become Americanized, and we had best not
be in a hurry about the acquisition of the "gem
of the Atlantic"
