Of this Company, MIR. Aug. Bradley. the

were left with Mr.. NJ. Friedman and {

The manifold advantages of railroad
communication are so apparent TO all
and we have already published so man,
articles relating to it, that we presume
nothing more should be necessary thai
to merely call attention to the fact. tina
these advantages are now within tn
reach of the people of this county,
they will subscribe of their abundance

benefits arising from railroads accrue il
q larger degree to farmers, who rails
produce to sell, and by the roads have

other class Of people. and therefore til
farmer should subscribe literally, as ev
cry article he has for sale will comanan
better price as soon as the cars are run

which he consumes at reduced rate
besides saving much valuable time whic
he now spends going to and from mai

improving his farm and making its pr'

singing on this occasion, although in her lower
notes slight weakness could be noticed. To-
night " The Bridge of sghs," one Of 0nenbsch's

From one of the passengers Of the steamship
Josephine, on her celebrated excursion "trip to
Brazos Santiago last spring, We have the follow
ing account of q most extraordinary duel which
was fought on Brszos Island during that memora-
BILE excursion:
A couple of army officers had slight misunder.
standing In O cofeehouse, which they finally
agreed to settle according to the code Ghoane,z.
Their seconds were chosen, and the terms of the
duel agreed upon: time, Immediately; weapons,
revolvers; distance, ten PAGES. Bot here an I'M
foreseen obstacle presented itself. But one
pistol could be found on the island, and
that without ammunition. What was to be done
At last, however, the obstacle was overcome By
the suggestion of quartermaster's clerk that
they should toss up silver half dollar for the rst
shot. This was agreed to and done, the chsl
longing party winning the first shot. The accom-.
modating qusrtermaster's clerk again came TO
their assistance. With an energy worthy of
better cause he went to work, and after . most
diIigent search succeeded in finding sufficient
ammunition to load the pistol. An things being
in readiness, the contestants took their respective
stations, and at the word "nre,u the air was rent
by the report of the pistol. When the smoke
cleared away, the man who had been shot
