More Indian Ousrsges In Texas.

The Dallas Herald eays: Mr.. John l.. Fisher, OF
this place, Just returned from Decatur, informs
us that party Of Indians came into that county
last week. killing FIVE persons taking prisoner one
posed and stealing some rs or leo head of horses,
making their exit without molestgtion.
Their first depreciation was on Wednesday. the
10Th of August, at the house Of Mrs.. Russell, Is
miles west Of Decatur, where they killed Mrs. r.
and her two sons, one Is and the other "a or 70
years old, and captured her daughter, aged Is or
16, taking her with them. There were marks OF
desperate fighting In the house, where the mother
and her eldest son were found dead. the latter
shot through five times by six-shooter, and his
mother lanced or stabbed. The younger boy wss
killed In the yard. The bodies were not found
until next morning, when the little boy was so
disfgured that 1t was not known how he was
killed.
On the same evening 1.-THE 26th) the Indian
came TO the house Of Mr.. Couch, eight miles west
Of Decatur, and teok ell Of Mr.. C.'s work horses,
his family into the brush but was not attacked.
he estimated the Indians at bis house at not less
than one hundred and fifty In number. The next
day, Thursday, the 9th, they overlook q little
boy about ten or twelve years old, son Of Mrs.
McDaniels, living twelve miles east Of Decatur,
on the prairie. near his mothers house. and lanced
him in the back three or four tines He was not
dead at last accounts but was not expected TO re-.
by the family. Mrs. n. estimated the number of
Indians at her house at seventy live or one humid
red.
From there they went to the Clear Creek Mil,
in Denton county. and on the route, when near
the mill, killed man named Foyster and wounded
another named Chisum. From the mill, after
gathering, in the raid from IS to 100 head Of
horses, they went out by the way OF O'NeiPs and
Red Rivers Stations 10 Montague county. At
one time they were within four miles Of Decatur.
Our informant, Mr.. Fisher, says the frontier is
entirely broken up, and Decatur Ia now on the
extreme of 1t. The Indians do not seem to regard
the military post. coming in and going out with
IMMUNITY and safety.
10 shis reid thsy- have killsd- four persons,
wounded two others, apd led captive a young
of at least $4,000 worth of their property.

PATTI AND CAUx.-The aggregate income OF
Adelina Patti, from July l, 1867. to June So 1865
was 98 900 francs. The whole fortune of the
young cantatrice 10 estimated ct 100000 francs,
just as much rs her spendthrift husband says he
owes 20 HIS creditors. De Csux's salary, rs
requerry 10 the empress, is 1900 francs Q year.
He has pledged II for several years in advance TO
bis creditors. His uncle, the duke of vslmy,
Kellsrmann's obscure heir, is likewise spend.
thrift, and head over ears In debt. Since horny
is dead, most Of these pillars of the second en-
pire have heavily lost at the Bourse. MorDy
alone knew how to find out what his half brother,
the emperor. proposed doing at certain critical
junctures, and, also. how TO turn the information
thus obtained to account at the Bourse. The
other Bonsparists blindy followed his lead at the
Bourse, and, consequently. were quite successful
during Morny's lifetime. Since he is dead. how
ever, they mostly know no more about the EN-.
perors intentions than common mortals. They
lost immensely in consequence Of Nspoleon's
famous Auxerre speech, on the 18th of June,
1867, by the Luxembourg excitement. When any
one tells the emperor that his friends lose at the
Bourse, he laughs. and says something like
served them right.n He himself carefully alb
STAINS from stock gambling, and he has strictly
Ioroidoen the empress 70 do anything OF the kind.
he bears in mind how greatly Louis PhiIippe's
reputation as stock gambler injured the Orlean.

How to Produce Large Strawberries.

Remove all the soil around each Hill to the
depth Of half an inch or more, without dis
turbing the roots; then spread evenly, over
an area Of twenty inches in diameter, pound
or more Of finely pulyerzed inseed meal or
oil meal, and cover ii with mellow soil then
spread mulching of hay or straw two inch
es deep over the entire surface between the
hills. Should the weather be warm and dry,
a liberal supply Of warm water daily will
greatly promote the growth of both vine and
berries. Pull up weeds. and grass among
growing strawberries rather than to cut them
up with hoes, as a system Of roots is formed
near the surface of the ground which should
not be injured with broad hoe.

EARMER JOIN

Should you meet farmer John In the city,
You'd cali him = country grecnhorn,
You might LOOK upon him with pity,
or perhaps with feeling Of scorn.
His great heavy boots, minus blacking,
lis straw het with wide, ample hrim.
with gloves and with nocktio both lacking
And his bronzcd facc puzzled and GRIM
The fops step aside as he passes,
And glance at their ininty, piuchcd feet,
And lip their disgust to the lasscs
They happen 10 meet in the street.
o come from the dust Of the city,
Leave palace, and stccple, and dome,
Put by both your scorn and your pity,
Till you see good farmer Johns home.
Far Lack from the towns noise and hustle
Where meadows and pastures are wide
Whore leaves on the applc-boughs rustic,
And comfort and pleasure abide,
Where acres with beauty lie tcoming,
And promise large produce to bring,
A pleasant white farmhouse Is cleaning,
And farmer John relgns a. It's king.
How changed is bis face as he ncars IL,
From that which he wore In the town
broad smile breaks over and clears ID
From puzzled expression and irown.
Ills good wife stands ready TO greet him
With a smile that thrills thru his heart,
And all are 90 happy TO meet him,
Though only a bright day apart.
Ills deep voice grows sweetcr and lower,
As bahy-llps press his brown check
He IL happy, he asks for no morci
lie Is loved, what more need he seek
Ills boys and girls are 20 merry,
The table ~ full and 20 white,
And all IL SO happy and CHEEKY,
lie onyics no ruler his might.
o. ye with your city notions,
There's something more precious and sweet
Than graceful and elegant motions
In walking the close, dusty street.
And farmer John, green a. you call him,
So awkward and 80 coarsely clad
Has had this great fortune benll him,
And his whole life Is joyful and glad.
