THE STORM IN TARRANT CoUNTy.-Mr.
Babb who came down from Fort Worth on
Thursday last informs us that the storm of
Sunday last was very destructive along the
Village Creek Valley in Tarrant County.
He saw as many as fourteen houses that
had been blow down and other property
destroyed. He heard of as many as four
teen or fifteen persons who were more or
less injured in the neighborhood Of Mr..
Cannon's on Village creek, among whom
were a Mr.. Randall, killed; and the wife
of Mr.. Hunt Kelly very badly hurt. A
brother of Mr.. Kelly's was also badly
wounded, another man had both arms bro
ken, and Mexican, also badly hurt.
We shall probably hear more of the eff
fects Of this storm in few days.

Mr.. II. had the misfortune last night to
loose what means he brought with him by
having his pocket cut ana his pocket book,
containing some $3.50, currency taken, and
in consequence of this has determined to
place the tuition at $3.50, for the session,
hopeing at this rate TO have a full school.

The reported mineral region of
Texas is now attracting a good deal
of attention, particularly in the up
per counties. Large companies are
being formed, some for the gold re-
gion Of the Pecos, and others for
thc copper mines of the Wichita,
That there is an abundance of the
precious metal in Texas, we have
always believed. We have had
much experience in mining opera
lions in California and Oregon and
in the upper counties Of this State
the indications are abundant of rich
deposits ofgold and silver Should
the prospecting parties thu: arc
bout organizing for that purpose be
Successful, there will hardly be a
limit to the immigration to Western
Texas the coming year.
These explorers for the hidden
: treasures, are also the best Indian
fighters in the world. As soon as
mining is successfully engaged in
ON our frontier, let "Mr. Ingin"
stand from under. We are perfect
ly familiar with the dispositions
made by miners, Of maranding In
dians. A few score of miners will
do more in the suppression of Indi-
an outrages, than all the black reg
imcnts, that Uncle Sam can send to
the frontier.
The negro soldier, or white reg
ular troops will do well enough to
garrison forts, but they are good for
nothing at Indian hunting, and
their horses, if they have them, are
stolen right under their noses-and
generally the red thieves escape
with their plumber.
We predict that not many years
will elapse before the pioneer min
crs will dispense or extcrminate the
unta11able savages on our border,
and give security to the pcaccablc
settlers III the frontier.-Indianold

INDIANS ~ PARKER COUNTY
We learn from gentleman who
came from Parker county this week,
that on Thursday the 18th inst, the
citizens Of Wcathrri0rd received in
tclIgcnco that II body often Indi-
ans were ON White Rock, within
seven miles Of that place, dcpreda-
Ting. They hurricdly collected Il
little party, and went in quest of
their troublesome foe.
With better luck than usually
accompanies these expeditions, they
found the Indians and succeeded in
killing four Of their nulnber-the
remaining six made good their es-
cape. Unhappily, the life Of one Of
that gallant little band Of citizens
was sacrificed in attaining their vic
tory. 1t is further stated that the
Indian, so well known on The from
tier by the name Of Big Foot is
among the killed. He has been II
successful leader Of small thicving
parties for many years, and his
presence in the country, was rcadi-
ly known from his track, which we
have been informed measured four
teen inches. He is reported to be
Of great stature and very corpulent
weighing about 300 pounds. His
horse being killed he was easily
dispatched, not being muscled for
II run. They were ofthc La Panse
tribe Of Indians from the Rio
Grandc
Oar informant tells us that on
Wedncsday--tho day previous to
the Indian fght--a man was shot
and killed by woman in Weather
ford. She fired from the house,
presenting the pistol through the
crack,-McKjnney EnqUirer.

THE D0LBEAR COLLEGE, This institution
of learning, situated in New Orleans, is so
we'll known in Texas, that we need only re-
fer to the advertisement in another column
to recall to those who have failed to give
their children a thorough, finished, com
mercial cduca Ion, the necessity of losing
no time in doing so, before they enter on
the busy scenes of the world, to mingle wi tn
those who must, Of necessity, be smarter
than themselves. As the ease and luxury
of plantation life has ceased to have any
attractions for young men, and the reduced
means of this class of our citi re 8
has made it now encumbent on all
to seek livelihood by following some oc-
cupation or other we know of no m cans by
which competency can be so speedily and
easily attained as by first acquiring thor
ough knowledge of the requisites to make
business man. This College is the Oldest
chartered institution of the kind on this
continent, and for years its reputation has
been worldwide, and its steady and in
creasng prosperity gives conclusive evil
tence of its superior management. While
hundreds of young men from nearly every
Southern State, are yearly educated there,
it is gratifying to find that Texas contrib
utes more than her quota. The monthly
graduating ceremonies took place at the
College last week, of which we made men
ton few days ago.-Gdl. News.

SERIOUS Academia youth named John
Bland who rides the mail from this place to
Buchanan, was violently thrown from a
horse which he was riding on Monday last,
and quite seriously injured. The horse,
which is owned by J. NJ. Brown, Esq, our
Sheriff, ran away with the boy, and in
turning the corner Of Messrs. W. c. c.
Akard s. Co., ran against the corner of the
house, and threw the boy violently to the
grouad. He got up and said he was not
hurt, bat eventually he became sick, and it
il is supposed was hurt internally.

JAIL DELIVERY. Jail at this place
was forced on Tuesday night last. and al
the prisoners confined therein, three in
number, made their escape. The names Of
the prisoners are n. d. Kelly, S. W. Sloane,
of Grayson county, and = Hnrt, of Lamar
county. They had managed by some means
to get a saw, and had sawed of the hinges
of the inside door, and then ! y main force,
had wrenched of the huge lock Of the out
side door, thus giving themselves free out
let to the street. All the prisoners named
above, we believe, were confined on the
charge of horse stealing.

CLEBURNE, the new county seat Of john
son county, is represented to us as one Of
the prettiest locations in all northwestern
Texas. 1t is in the edge Of the Cross Tim
bers, about six miles southeast from Buchan-
an, on beautiful little stream of lasting
water, and plenty of timber surrounding
it. These two last requisite for town.
wood and water,-are what both the former
county seats of johnson lacked.
A friend writing to us from the new town
gives us some interesting information Of
its progress, and says, "Come out and see
u.s. We shall avail ourself Of the very
first opportunity TO do so. Col. 10. Rush
ing of our town, who has just returned from
there, verifes what our friend writes, but
still, we intend to see the place for ourself
one of these days when we can tear ourself
away from Office duties.
At the sale Of lots at CLEBURxE on the
18th uit., those on the square sold at prices
ranging from $40 to as high $500. The lots
are &c by 80 feet. Enough lots we're sold
to make an aggregate amount Of about
8, 900, and the county authorities win at
once contract for the building Of a jail and
court house. The finest building material
IL near at hand, in the shape Of fine hard
blue limestone. Of which the court house
and jail are to be built. Already, Col. r..
informs us, there is fine large steam saw
and grist mill and earding factory, be-
sides several mercantile houses and resi-
dsnces completed, and preparations are ma
king for the erection Of many other build
ings.
We say again, we shall certainly accept
the invitation Of our friend, and visit Gle
BuRSE the frst opportunity. May tie en-
tsrprise and prosperity equal the brilliant

THE New JAIL-We were sick and con-
fined to our room last week when the ad-
vertisemen for proposals for building new
Jail at this place was handed in, and had
not time to allude particularly to the sub
ject. We now propose to gire our readers
some idea of the proposed new building
We have seen the rough draft Of it, and
presume the plans will not be materially
changed The building is to be erected
upon the lot now occupied by the old Jail,
will be two stories high, AZ feet long and
80 feet wide, the walls Of solid brick ma
sonry foundation to be feet thick, first
or Jail story q feet thick, and upper story
! I feet thick.
The first story will be II feet high, and
will have reception room and office, and
one large room for prisoners, 25l by 81 feet
in the clear. The design is ultimately to
build three or four iron cages in one side
of this room, for prisoners who require
close confinement.
The upper floor will be 10 feet high, and
will have four rooms and hall; the two
North rooms will be so constructed as to be
easily thrown into one room. The whole
upper floor is intended as q residence for
the Tailor, but for the present, and until
new court house can be built: it will be used
as offices for the various county officers, and
as q court room.
The whole design of the building is good
and will not only be an ornamental but O
serviccable editiee, admirably suited, when
fully completed, for the purpose it is inten,
ded. We have long needed such building
in Dallas county, for the secure confinement
oil law-breakers, and we are pleased to SEE
that we are at last to have it. The propo-
sails contemplate that the building is to be
ready for occupancy by the first of October
next.
Our court house, which has been pro
nounced unsafe for occupancy in its pres
ent condition, will, We presume, be taken
down, and probably portion of the mate
rial used in the construction Of the jail
1t is the wish and intention Of the Police
Court, to rebuild the court house at as early
day as the finances Of the county viii
permit We shall miss the structure from
the square, and hope that ere long new
and more substantial cdfce will take it
place.
