TEXAS ALMANAc.-Messrs. Richardson &
Co, of the Galveston News, propose to re.
vive the "Texas Almanac" and will issue
an edition of the work for 1867, as largcif
not larger than any issued before the war.
The value of this work in former years, and
the we'll known ability of the publishers to
get it up in good style, are guarantees suf-
ficient for tho merit which will character
ize their future efforts. Now, above all
other times, is it necessary for the welfare
of our State, to encourage such publications
as the Almanac Of the Mcssrs. Richardson,
tho Statistics, &C., in the old Almanacs
are even now Of so much value, az to make
them readable and instructive to the strau-
ger in our State and it is the design of the
publishers to collect every possible charac-
ter of information for the forthcoming
work, particularly such as will be valuable
to the immigrant 80 as to make it equal if
not superior to any former edition in the
amount and value Of its articles and statis-
tics.
We may add that the wheat region ofthe
State will be particularly represented in
the Almanac and the many advantages to
the immigrant plainly and truthfully set
forth, supported by statistics which will
present our much favored section to the ia
,vorable and advantageous consideration Of
new corners from any section of this as
well as the old continent.
We bespeak for the forthcoming work
that Widespread circulation which we know
thatit will so well Deserve and would add
that we will make arrangements to have
full supply of the Almanac for sale at the
earliest period.

In the height Of mosquito time
the little rascals practiccd their

E6y-Improvcmcnts are OF last commence
ing in our town. We hear of number of
buildings being in contemplat on for resi-
dences, and which will be put up this fall.
Considerable real estate in low n has chang
ed hands in the past few weeks, and all OF
it is purchased with the view of improving.
Some few small buildings are already in
course of erection, but we will not par
ticularize until further developments are
made. ~. t.,s.-..
We hear Of number Of persons coming
10 this place with the view of making it
their homes, and of establishing themselves
in business among us, We welcome them
cordially. We know that they are infu
enced to the move by prospects Of Dallas in
the future. The very heart Of the wheot
region, and the commercial centre of all
Northwestern Texas, with the ultimate
prospects Of being a railroad centre for
Northern Texas, Dallas, we imagine, offers
better inducement to the enterprising bus
mess man than any place in this section.

We observe several Indians (Tonkaways)
in town, who seem to be enjoying them
selves, examining the curiositics in the
workshops and stores of tn ir pal
brethern. They occasionally imbibe too
freely. One poor fellow We notified the
other day laying in the gutter and groan-
ing in his anguish, the effects of too free
indulgence in 'fire-water." Weunaerstand
they are now supported by the Unied Sta es
government and make thenselvesservicea-
Bile as scouts, &c. They salute yos in real
military style; chew tobacco, drink bust
head, and smoke cigars with the gusto Of a
Broadway swell" These Indians now
constitute but remnant Of a ore power
full tribe. The walk Of civiiiratbn is fast
carrying them to the shades Of tleir fathers.
A few years hence, there will ie none left
to tell the sad story Of their vanquished
braves. Where once the vig-wim FIRE sent
up it's glare in the pale moon light, and
among which their braves feHted on the
trophies Of chance; the stately mansion OF
the husbsndman will rear ikelf, and the
pillow share will grind to dust sTery veslige
