EFFECTS OF CoLD WEATHER IN TEXAS. The
Matagorda Gazette of the 18th says:
The severe weather and scarcity of grass on the
praries have not proved SO disastrous to stock as
was anticipated. We hear Of but few cattle diving
at this time, though the weather is very cold and
damp. We hear also that sheep are doing well,
but few having died since the first severe norther
The Navarro County Express of the l4th says
We are happy to learn, by private letter from
friend, that the wheat in Hill county is nothing
like so much damaged by the severe weather as
was at first apprehended. The same may be said
far this county and will turn out to be true the
ton as well pretty extensive information we have
lost all hope of the fruit trees especially peach and
cherry There may few escape, but we fear they
will be few and far between. Some are Telling
their trees, hoping to get sprouts from the roots.
The Smith County Reporter of the 18th tells a
different story regarding the damage to the wheat
crop in Northern Texas. That paper says:
We learn that the wheat in the upper counties
has been seriously damaged by the cold weather.
We hear the same complaint concerning the wheat
in this county. great deal of stock have died ID
| this and other counties around this.
| FROM NORTH LouIsIANA.-The Mount Lebanon
Baptist OF the 10th says:
Our town and vicinity are healthy but in some
localities, especially on 0uachta and Red rivers,
we hear of the prevalence of something hike pneu-
mona and :" black tongue,n with considerable IA
tality.
1t has been characteristic OF the present winter
that almost every norther brought rain, sleet or
snow but last Monday night it turned cold dry as
it has been accustomed to do-the norther bring
ing only some fuzzy flying clouds; though Tuesday

ADomestle Tragedy.


The Paris, ILL.,. Beacon relates the circumstances
of q homicide which occurred week before last il
the outskirts of that town. A Mrs. Joy, who wa.
suspected by her husband of improper intimacies
was found by him in stable attached to his house
in company with certain Doctor-name not given
Mr. Joy was about drawing his knife to attack the
disturber OF his domestic peace, when he rushed
from the stable and made good his escape. Mrs
Joy at the same time fed to the house, followed
by her husband, and took up a shot gun, as she
alleges for the purpose Of soaring her husband,
who had been accustomed to abuse her. The gun
went off in her hands, and the whole charge of shot
entered the face of her little boy, aged about 10
years, killing him almost instantly.

Mr.. Joseph schierberg, who left Cincinnati
about the 1st of October last for tour In Errope
has been arrested in Germany on pretended
claim of military service due to the Grand Duchy
of 0ldenhurg. He thus relates the circumstances
in private letter to friend:
This morning, before breakfast, as was taking
walk on Cow street in the city of Damme, for the
purpose of getting good appetite, was met by
man in military costume, who asked me politely
to take walk with him to the police office. at
first thought it great honor to receive such an in
vtation. Arriving at the police office was intro
duced to the Mayor. After passing the usual
rounds of introduction he told me I was his pris-
oner and called the officer to arrest me. He read
to me the warrant ON which the arrest was made
It was claimed that / owed military duty to the
Grand Daehy of 0ldenburg. l told him | wa:
ready to be taken to prison, or be disposed of a:
he saw fit, but | wanted SEINE breakfast first. Ii
which proposal his honor good naturally assented

bend much danger of being made soldier.

GHurrah for Douglas.

DR.. Joseph Beck, of Hamburg, a
member of the republican central
committee of this county a few
days ago came out and forever re-
nounced & abjured all fellowship &
connection of ever ykind whatso ev-
er, with the Republican party and
its negro equality doctrines and has
publicly taken the oath of fealty to
the great and glorious doctrine Of
Popular Sovereignty, and as an ear
nest of his sincerity and candor' on
Saturday evening last, addressed a
large audience of his fellow citizens
at Dishers Meeting House, in Mon
roe Township, in which he fully
and most unreservedly disclosed the
reasons why, he abjured the wOo'
trade, and wound up by a most able
and elaborate exposition of the
doctrines of Non-intervention anc
Popular Sovereignty, all OF which
he fully approved. Whisht-

that Notwithstanding the insolent
and over bearing sneers of the Re
publican party and their organ in
this county, that he will raise q
hickory pole whenever he pleases,
and place just as many flags ana
streamers upon it as suits him, and
that if any man or set Of men in
this community expect to take
away or deny him these rights,
that they will be compelled to re-
sort to some other means than
mere BLACKBOARD insolence, sheer
ing and personal abuse. Do you
understand that gentlemen? That's
the true spirit of d man. Pitch in:

poles you can.

A Feat.

Well, we give it up and cave in, it would
be a serious matter for any inhabitant Of this
mundane sphere to undertake to astonish us
now. Nothing short of Craigheads election
would do it. We have been to Shows Of
all kinds-have seen wonders Of every des-
cription-have witnessed india rubber indi-
viduals turn themselves upside down, and
wrong side out, but these feats were always
performed under circumstances which left
room fort doubt in our minds as to their reali-
ty. But on last Wednesday we witnessed a
feat in the open street, about which we are
ready to take our oath there was no humbug.
It was this. A wire was stretched from the
cupola Of the court house across the street to
the top of the new brick building occupied
by Edison & Campbell as a leather store,
and about two o'clock a man (he had every
appearance Of a human being) made his
appearance on the top of the last mentioned
building Enthusiastically deessed in what the
boys called "show clothes and carrying in
his hands a balance pole. Without hesita-
ton he placed his foot upon the wire (Which
looked to us to be about the size of a string)
and started upon his perilous ~journey-step
by step he gained the centre Of the street
where he paused for a moment, during which
time, a ten-cent piece could have been heard
to drop-(we only guess at this, we had none
to try it WITH Again he moved on towards
the cupola and reached it in safety amidst
the shouts of the admiring crowd. But il
we we're surprised at this feat we were more
than astonished to see him start upon his re.
turn trip backwards.
He paused again in the centre, and fast
ening his balance pole to the wire, he ther
and there performed all the feats that circu:
goes are in the habit of seeing in the ring
and within q few feat of the ground. There
he was upon q wire forty feet from thu
ground, Hooking like a huge spider suspend
ed upon its thread-) sitting Nth as mucl
~c6mposure as a farmers boy would sit upon
rail fence. But suddenly he seemed to los
his balance but fortunately caught with hi
hands. He struggled manfully, but it wa
evident to all that he could not remain il
that position long,-gradually his hold re
laxed-his left hand slipped from the wiz
and he was left with NO other hold upon thi
world than his strong right arm. The crow
scarcely breathed during that moment @
awful suspense. For an instant longer h
remained suspended between Heaven an
earth, and then oh Heavensl he quickly dre'
himself up to his former position on tn
, wire, unfastened his pole-stretched himse
out upon his back-raised up to his fee
stood upon one leg two minutes and a-half-
backed out to the brick building aforesaid
and disappeared.
His name is Price.
