ATTACKED BY PANTHERs.-We
learn that Mr. Roberts, who lives
near Joseph Clymcrs, or s miles
east of Mckinney, narrowly escaped
death at the hands of three panthcrs
about 2 o'clock on the morning of
the 9th ult. Having sick child
at home, he was returning at that
hour from hunt for the doctor,
when, on reaching point some four
hundred yards from his house, which
is in Sister bottom, he was assaulted
by these bloody children of the
wood. One Of them made furious
bound at him, reaching as high as
his head, and he on horseback, but
failed i'll his aim further than to
tear Mr.. Roberts coat considerably
and laceratc tho horses back with
his long claws. Mr.. Roberts then
set out at full speed, pursued to the
house by his angry assailants, az
irving there, he jumped off his horse
and in at the door, and himself and
wife soon barricaded the premises.
The panthcrs camo to the door, and
remained thero until nearly day, at
which time they evacuated, and fell
back to their hiding place, in the
bottoms.
Our hunters should turn out, and
capture these panthcrs before they
get into other Observation-Disclosures
neg Enquirer.

eFs in charge, to be committed to

can be tried by the civil authorities.

bcld as aforesaid.-Uid.
MoREINDIAN DEPREDATIoNs.-We
understand that the Indians made
raid into the ranches near Castro
vile. on Sunday night last, and car
ried off large number Of horses
the principal loser being Judge Moo
nan, who lost his valuable stock of
more than one hundred head of half
blood mares. His loss is estimated /.
at $4,000. Tile whole frontier
seems to be filled by savages, and |
we can call to mind no time in the |
past twenty years, when so many |
depredations have been committed
in the same length Of time, as in the
last three or four months.-S. 4.
Herald, 30h.

mule train of sixteen wagons, load
ed with machinery for large cotton

Santa Rosalie, in the State of Chi
huahua, Mexico, left this city on
the 18th inst. Major Geo. Frazer,
formerly of Arizona, but recently of
this city, left here Monday evening
to join this train, which is in his

na- The "union" feeling is gain
ing ground in Fannin county. The
Bonham News of last week records
five marriages within eight days.
HIGH WHARF.-THE high tide still
continues. We were informed that
\ had fallen about one foot, although
we couldn't see it. There are ru-
nors afoat that a new channel is
being formed between the City Hos
Dital and the extreme eastern point
IF the island, produced by the ac-
ion of the wind and water flour
Information IS correct, the channel
low forming is in the exact posi-
ion of the one long since closed
