The Tc.rOS CUf;ir TYTsfp.

The Cincinnati Gazette has an inter
esting account of the Texas cattle trade
which has already reached large dimen-
siOns and is destined to become q great
traffic. We select the following:
One of the striking peculiarities of
the Texas stock is what Texan calls
the right smart spring of horns. These
APPENDICES are long and slim, ano
spring from the head in nearly opposite
fol ms of m ny of the TeXa steers are
more like moose or elk than Eastern
stock, sotheir horns are som Atimes more
like antlers. Though som Zines more
they generally measure less than seven
feet in straight line between the tips
of their horns. One OF their most en-
mon Colors is a moose color, though
every variety OF tint is found among
the n. Their liability to st impede rem
dcrs the drOver's occupation pr, carious
A large percentage ofevery drove is lost
in this way. blowers use swift horses
| for their business. Several of the horses
and mules are always keep saddled, day
and nigut, for instant service.
A sudden snort, and herd of Il ,hou
sand spring as though tl.ey We're but
one animal, while the earth trembles
under them as they dash away with all
the speed frightened animal can at
tain. The cause is invisible, or they
had no cause, except in their own ina
ginatiOns. Then those guard mount
in hoI haste and chase the frantic herd
to g t ahead Of them and circle le A..
around. 1t is as useless to attempt to
stop them as to stop the flow of the
Ohio River. But with fleet horses thew
can be gradually led to travel in a cir
Gle, when they gradually recover their
sober senses, and after having had suf-
ficient exercise, can be brought back to
the starting point.
They are also q savage animal. 1t is
dangerous to go among them afoot AS
an illustration of their ferociOus nature,
| may mention that some of the poor
and weak ones frequently get down and
cannot rise. You go ana help him up,
and the first act of the animal, again set
on his legs, is to make an attack on you,
and perhaps run until he falls agail from
exhaustion.
The Indians along the line have OBJ
tanned custom, since last year, of levy
ing a tax of 81 PER head, or of some cat
tie for beef, on the droves, as they cross
Southern Kansas. They also stampede
the droves in the night, to scatter them,
and either steal some or get paid for aid
ing to find and collect them. There are
also parcel of desperadoes who follow
the business of stampeding, for the pur-
pose of theft.
They select a dark night, put on a
buffalo robe, or, more frequently, tie
something white to their pony's TAIL
that will tlutter in the air as they ride
through or in the vicinity of the cattle
herd. This is dangerous business, for
the herders would shoot Tim at sight.
Yet there are plenty of desperate men
whom such an adventurous life suits,
judging from the numbers who follow
1t. But the drovers are men whom
nothing deters; who would prefer this
wild life to luxury and ease"

The Episcop0i Society at Snanton


Last week the Parish of The Holy
TRINITY (EpiscopaN of SwantOn,
through its Wardens and Nes.ry, pun
chased of George Blake the house and
lot on the corner of Grand Avenue and
the Park, for Rectory and Church
edifce. This purchase secures for the
Parish the most desirable and elegiblc
lot for Church to be found in the vii
hge of Swanton, ard small but pleas
ant house for Rectory, fronting on
Grand Avenue, and adjoining the
Church lot.
The house and lot cost the Parish
$500, which with a little effort they can
easily meet. We hope soon to see an
effort put forth for the erection of a
Church, every way suitable for the
wants of the Paris and an ornament to
the village. AS the erection of all pub
lie buildings, especially Church build
ings, is a subject OF general interest to
the community, adding to the we'll
being, importance, wealth and beauty
of the village or city, we hope that not
only friends of the parish, but that all
of the citizens will be ready to cooper
ate with and encourage the Parish III
erecting a beautiful Church.
The Parish of THE Holy TRINITY is
hardly year old. One year ago last
August, the Rev. J. B. Pitman hector
of st. Johns, Highgate, commenced
evening services in the Academy Hall,
with only thee communicates. In
three months the Parish was organized.
In July last ishop Bissell confirmed
twenty-one adults. The Parish now
numbers upwards thirty communicates,
and embraces many of the best families
and leading bu.iness men of the village.
The purchase of a Rectory and building
lot gives evidence of energy and deter
mination truly cOmmendable and wOr-
thy of imitation.
a few days since the Rev. Mr.. Pitman
was made the grateful and happy reci-
pient of a splendid fur coat, trimmed
with fine beaver, and gloves, TO match
AS Mr.. Pitman holds services in both
Parishes, Highgate and Swanton, every
Sunday, and :s obliged to drive at all
seasons of the year and in all kinds OF
weather, his present was very opportune
and appropriate.
