The Collin Haguiryr and Dallas Herald
contain lengthy accounts ola terrible
tornado, which passed over tsat portion
Of NoTthern Texas lately, and o~ccasiOned
great iestructioh Of stock, Dew down a
humber Of houses, and killed and
wounded a number of individuals,
amongst whom were soms women and
girls.
The Gonzales Lzqaire says: We are
sorry to hear that some of our farmers
are badly in the grass. This, however,
was to be expected from the character OF
the weather during the last two
weeks but ell are working with 8
will, and If the present genial atmos-
phere continues week or two
longer, there. will . again be clean
and f~ourighias crops al over the ooauty.
We hear OF any number OF cotton blooms
in many of h fields. The first opened
about two weeks ago. Major John
Smith brought us one last Monday, and
he tells US that he has a great many on
his place. His crop is doing well. 1.-THE
season should continue favorable, and
the freedmen don't get too much politics
forced into their heads, the crop of the
present year will prove excellent in
quality, quaRfity and variety. 0fcourse
the success of each individual i1rmer
will be influenced more or less By IN
comfortable circumstances, but as u gem
ePal remark this will hold good.
The Houston journal has e some
stalks Of sea island cotton grown on q
Clark creek farm In that vicinity which.
is a fine as that formerly produced in
South Carolina and Georgia.
The Gonzales Inquirer mentions
CONTINUED rains In that region, and says :
The corn crop of the county is now 10
full silk and tassel, aud old farmers think
the crop will be the largest raised for
years. Certain it is that they are going
to make plenty FOR erligrauts, so that
they can buy it cheap. The cotton, how
ever, is getting too much rain, aud many
planters are complaining Of the grass
and weeds.
The Henderson Times says The
prospect for an average crop Of corn and
cotton may be called good in Rusk
county aud if the TcreVa5ses ~ IN the
clouds can be stopped, they promise
finely. The freedmen are behaving
well, although We hear of none strain
ing a muscle, or iniuring their health by
over eXertion. So prudent are they in
work that none of them now throw out
the " scent that used 10 affect as,
when they tOughened the sinews by
labor. In fact they work as gently as
they can to avoid the curse of earning
90 their bread by the sweat of their faces.u
The following paragraph from the Ans
derson Record, is not bad Tbe freedman
Dorsey, whose name we mentioned last
week, in connection with others, as quail
to act rs registrar, requests Us to
state that he 4" edlnOE take tie oath, y and
begs to be excused. The district court Of
Harris county was opened on Thursday
last, Judge Shropshire presiding. After
considerable trouble, a jury was empan-
which stands thus: White men,
nine negroes, three.
