We learn that man by the name OF Pts
toll was killed in the portion of this county
near Warren, few days ago. We learn
that the party went to his house and killed
him; after they had killed him they asked
his daughter for his money. She told them
that be had no money. One of them then
took a shovel and poured hot embcrs on the
dead mans face, the other man told him to
stop and he would get the money. The
money was found (about eight hundred dol
lars) and they left. They were captured
and we suppose were killed, as we learned
that "they got away
Since writing the above, we learn that
the body Of one of tn, fien1s, was found in
the nation, pierced with eighteen balls. We
also learn that they were neighbors of Pts
tolls in Missouri, and that one of them had
been living at Pistols house short time
before the iendish outrage was committed.

LAST OF THE OLD SAN lIoUsToN RESI-
DENCE.-The old time-honored venerable
mansion of the lamented General Sam
Houston, on the corner of Main and Pres
ton streets, is being torn down to be re-
placed by brick and morter. This old house
has been respected for one quarter of a
century on accou At Of its traditional his
tory but the energetic hand of improve
ment is no respec tor Of history or its ira
ditional ecords.-Houston Journal

citizens is about TO go after the remains OF
his brother who lost his life from wounds
in the Confederate army of the West, east
of the Mississippi. 1t is q pity that ar
rangements could not be made to bring
home, at the same time u number of the
dead soldiers of this county who fell at
Shiloh and at Corinth. Col. Rogers, Capt.
Gammell, Capt. Daily, and others could be
named. A little combination would enable
one trip to accomplish the whole thing with
| little additional expense. We throw out
the suggestion for the con ,ideration of all
interested, and hope the arrangement may
be made Telegraph.
We learn with regret that the grounds
where the Texas Confederate Generals kill
ed in battle lie buried at Austin, is in a
sad state of neglect. This is so kecnly felt
by the friends of some of them that they
contemplate removing their remains to
private burying grounds. This would be a
Shame to the State; and yet they could not
be blamed. This matter should be neglected
no longer.-Ibid.
| We learn that on Wednesday evening
| last, Messrs. Edward Fitzgerald ana vii
liam Case of Vanzandt county, had diff
Guilty about eight miles below this, on the
Dallas road, in which the latter gentleman
received serious wound from pistol shot,
the ball entering just below the right ear
and passing through the wind pipe, and
out below the left ear. Mr.. Case is recov-
ering. He is at present stopping with Capt
James ThomGs.-McRinney Enquirer.
We are informed that negro was killed
in the Northern portion of this county about
n week ago. We have not heard the par
ticulars, but hope the matter will be inves-
tigated and the offenders will be dealt with
Our town is improving very fast sevc-
raj new houses have been erected very
lately old houses are being repaired, and
every thing is beginning to have the ap.
pcorance of peace and prcsperity.-Sher-
man Star, 10Th.
Harry 4. McCune, of this State, was
murdered not long since, near Sedalia, No.
by lot of Radicals, led on by man NAM
