box Of silverware valued at $1,000. Bail

Additional Election Returns.

GALVESTON, TEX, Dec 5.
The election returns come IN slowly. The
best information show. that Hamilton has
carried Bell. McLennsn, End Williamson
counties by an aggegate majority of abou t
1000. Davis has carried Brazos, Collehan,
and Robertson counties by an aggregate
majority of SIT. Partial returns from Har-
ris, Galveston, Travis, and Walker coun
ties give Davis small majority. The in
dictions are that Clark, radical, is elected to
congress from the Third district, and
Haynes, conservative, from The Fourth dis
trct. From the meagre returns received
it is impossible to say how the state has
gone. The telegraph wires are working
badly north Of Houston therefore nothing
can be obtained from this quarter.

Bloody ARRAY in Tennessee.

A Memphis dispatch says: A terrible
afray occurred near Tiptonyils, Tennessee,
on Sunday. A party Of masked men went
to the house of William Jones, planter,
for the purpose Of disarnling the negroes
working for him. Jones having an intima-
ton OF their coming, determined to resist,
as the negroes had been peaceaole and we'll
disposed, and made proper means for de-
fence. W hen the raiders came they were
met with destructive fire, which caused
them to retreat, leaving one Of their num-
Der dead, and two motally wounded. The
dead one proved to be Robert Dickinson,
living across the Kentucky line. His cou-
sin, Robert Bea uchamp, died next morn
ing. He said he was led into the scrape.
The excitement the next day was intense.
Officers came and arrested Mr.. Jones and
six of the negroes. Owing to the excite
ment, Mr. Jones was taken TO the river in
charge of the deputy sheriff, placed on the
steamer Louisville, and brought here, while
the sheriff with the negroes started for
Troy, but on the way they were attacked
by posse, who took five of the negroes
into the woods and shot them down. The
sheriff, by lard begging, succeeded in saw
ing the life Of the other one, who was
taken to roy and put in Jail.
The excitement in Upton Is immense,
and as the parties who were shot wre well
known, it is supposed other blood will be
shed, even If the matter Is settled.
Willis Jones, at whose house the tragic
ARRAY occurred. states that be had an inter-
view with the parties who attacked his
house on the Monday preceding the ARRAY,
and warned them that he would defend his
negroes to the last also, that Hicks, one
of the men wounded, had attempted to
whip one of the negroes before. The affair
grew out Of the enmity of Hicks and others

Hints for Decarnber.


From the American Stock Journal.
December being the first winter month it
will be presumed that every industrious and
thrifty farmer Is fully prepared TO meet 1t !;
but we sometimes presume on too much
more than is warranted by the facts. Jack
Frost is about putting the face OF the earth
under lock and key, and from his dlctum
there Is no appeal, until the earth In Its
orbit brings us into position to receive
greater warmth from the sun.
Ice houses should be repaired or new
ones built. Do not put off this until the
morning tha: you are going to fill them.
Have everything in readiness TO take adyan-
tage Of the first good ice that is made.
Those who DO not take advantage Of De-
cember ice often fail to get any other.
In the middle and northern states farm
stock must now depend, in great measure
on what is given to il; and much depends
on how it is given-how it is prepared and
quantity These are matters that should
occupy the mind Of evrry stock owner, he
should be able to estimate how much food
per week each animal should require to
keep it in good condition; which kinds of
food will be the cheapest-remember
always that there should be variety and
change from one TO the other, so that the
appetite may not be cloyod by too long a
continuance OF one variety.
Many experiments have been made 10
cooking food for stock these have been
conducted by men Of intelligence for the
purpose of acquiring facts on which TO base
fair calculations Arithmetic has lent its
aid; weights and measures have been used
as well with food as with the animals fed.
The general result from all these facts and
figures 90 to show that there is saving of
from twenty five to thirty-three per cent by
properly cooking the food for farm stock,
and that the best and cheapest way Of do
ing it is by steam. The great wonder is,
that with all this knowledge put into the
bands of every farmer who reads an agri.
cultural paper, the practice Of steaming or
in some way cooking food for stock has not
become more general. We trust that many
who have not hitherto done it will CONS
mence this winter.
The article Of fuel for family use has now
a strong claim on our attention. Ii is the
practice with too many TO postpone prepar-
ing winter trewood until it can be no long
er postponed. This is not only wrong in
economy, but in the enjoyment Of life. Fires
made OF green wood are both slow and vex~
atious Our wives and daughters will greet
us with sweeter smiles when retiring from
our ont door labor, if we have supplied
them with plenty Of well prepared dry wood
for cooking out meals and warming the
house. " hat better recOmpcnso could we
