Communication.

To the Editors of the rallas Herald:
With your permission VIC propose brici
notice of your editorial in reference to
"May-Dsy.' You remark "Lct us not ha, {
such O thing as that of last year, which
resemblcd Scottish funeral, and in which
sanctity Knocked itself and mistook its vo-
cation by circumscribing the pleasures Of
the day within the narrow bounds of Sec
tartan rules. No, let us have good old
fashioned May-Day." For the last two
years we have had Sunday School cclebra-
tons. We have not had, nor did we de-
sign to have, n celebration Of May Day.
The intention of tho Sunday School cele-
brations was 10 mark our estimation Of the
value of those institutions and to bring
them in favor with the public, and incl
dentnlly to afford snoh amusement for the
children as was compatible with that de-
sign. To accomplish that intention the
patrons willingly furnished costly dinners
for the public and we feel that the -four
ishing condition of these institutions is
largely attributable to our Sunday School
celebrations. We claim for the sectarian S
who inauguraied these celebrations quite
as much intelligence, culture and good
tuSte III tHc tOWH VI Dullub as Gull Dc pfc-
tended TO on the part of outsiders, and that
if they had intended the lower object Of q
May Day celebration, they could have in
stituted q programme harmonizing with
such design. You speak Of "narrow
bounds of sectarian rules" Please inform
the public, if you can, in what form they
exist and if any of them are out of har-
mony with the word of God. If we are in
the dark please enlighten us.
We take it that the "sectarians" of Dali
lbs as such will not let Themselves down
so as to,become the especial patrons of q
Nay Day celebration, and that this is the
reason for your talk Of "sanctity hooking
ITSELF" "Scottish funerals" and marrow
bounds of secta-ian rules"
If outsiders want May Day celebration
we say let them have it.

TRAGEDY lN Hill CouNTY.-W,
are again called npon TO chronicle 4
tragedy. A week ago last Wolncs
day, Charlie Green aud james King
who were brothers in law, had a
difficulty ut tho house of the former
about ten miles northwest OF Hills,
boro, which resulted in the killing,
on tho night next succeeding, of the
latter, Mr.. King.
Green went to the house of King
and demanded tho payment of a
debt of thirty cents. Tho latter
denied the business of the debt, il
seems, and refused to pay il, when
the former entered Kings house,
and took thercf'om pair of spurs,
n box OF paper collars and pair OF
gloves in remuneration for the debt.
An angry dispute now arose, and
probably u violent scuillc cnSued,
but the result was not serious. The
next night King was ut the house
Of Mr.. Ado Wilson, and Green
sought him for the purpose of kill.
ing him. Finding the party fer
whom he searched, he Immediately
proceeded to shoot him. Green is at
large WaXahachic Argus.

nV From q careful examination Of our
last batch Of exchanges, which give the
tone Of all the editors in Texas, VIC are
glad TO see that Hall lie quiet" on The
Political Potomac. The press generally
are in favor Of making the most Of the
opportunity offered them Of reconstruction
and representation. The subject Of Dem
oerstic Convention is not talked Of, and
the election Of Hamilton as the best chance
for Governor is pretty generally looked
uron as certain. This is as it should be.

LAND SALES AT THE SoUTH.-There is
quite an active business in real estate
at the South this spring. Farms in Vir-
ginia are changing hands constantly, the
the purchasers generally being men who
propose to cultivate for themselves. The
same is true in South Carolina, and other
States at the South, and very good prices
are realized by the sellers. At n recent
auction sale in the Kershaw District, South
Carolina, tract OF six thousand acres was
divided up into small lots and sold on lib
eral terms, and good many freedmen
were among the bidders and purchasers.
The prices were fully rs high as would
have been obtained before the war. In
North Carolina tract Of twenty thousand
acres, which was in the market at fifty
cents per acre before the war was lately
sold to German colony for q settlement
at 81 so per acre.

referring, in most elegant and pa
ihctic terms of regret, to the ulti-
mate loss of tho Southern Country
Gcntloman," as one of the direct
'rcsuIts of the war and the aboli.
ton of slavery, Gov. Vance pro
cccds to say: can immediate con-
sequence Of this disturbance in our
country society will be tendency
already pcrceptiblc-of our popu-
lation towards towns and villages.
Ithas been matter Of remark, and
with some, of congratulation here
tofore, that having fewer and small
Ter cities and towns, VIC had, also,
the most law-abiding and virtuous
population in the United States.
Tho census returns, to a great cX
tent, sustained this assertion; but
the diverse showed n considerable
deficiency in national wealth. We
may now look fora rapid increase
in the population of our towns and
cities; real estate there will far out
grow in value that of the country;
vice. strime and paupcrism, will
growswiih them as manufactures and
wealth increase. With the good
we must also take the evil; tho tares
must needs como with the wheat.
With now kinds ofmachinery must
come new kinds of rascality; with
new kinds of industry .and means
ofiwcalth will come n now species
OF robbery entirely strange to our
honest old fashioned thieves; and
with progress in the arts and scien-
cos, twill come, also, n fantastic varie-
ty of philanthropy, religion, poll
tics and morals, alike wondrous and
odifying."r

A curious discovery has just been made
at Pompcii. In house in course of exca-
walton, an oven was found closed with an
iron door, on opening which a batch of
oighty-one loaves, put in nearly 1900 years
ago, and now somewhat overbaked, was
discovered and even the large iron shovel
with which they were neatly laid in rows.
The loaves wore but slightly overbakcd by
the lava heat, having been protected by q
quantity of ashes covering the door. There
is no bakers mark on the loaves; they are
circular, about nine inches in diameter,
RI her fiat, and indented evidently with
the bakers elbow in the centre, and are
slightly raised at the sides, and divided by
keep lines, rsdinting from the centre into
eight segments. They are now of deep
brown color, and hard but very light. In
the same shop were found sol bron 20 and
So silver coins. A mill with n great guam
tity of corn in excellent preservation, has
also been discovered.

s9y The Methodist Episcopal Church Of
Waco have purchased an organ in New
York, which will soon arrive and be placed
in the church. Only $500 was raised for
the purpose, and sent on, but Major II. s.
MonGAN, u former citizen of Waco, and
who is favorably known to the people Of
this place, thinking higher priced one
would suit better, generously raised the
amount to 1925 out of his own pocket.
We should expect just such nm oct Of gen.
crosby from HIRAM s. MORGAN.

ESyBill Penn, one of the dcsperadocs
who have infested Collin and Grayson coun-
ties 80 long, has come to grief. lie was
killed near the mouth Of Bots d'Arc creek,
in Grayson county, on Wednesday OF last
week. The Enquirer gives the following
PARTICULARS:
From all we could gather, Penn
and Hays were making their way
from Texas, and had stopped ct a
house near the above named place,
perhaps to await the arrival of some
accomplicics. About daylight, the
pursuing party surrounded the
house, the watch dog giving the in
mates notice of their presence
Penn, followed by Hays, came out
of the house and spoke to the party
as though he had expected the ar
rival of friends. lie was ordered to
throw up his hands-He did so, but
each contained six-shooter, with
which he opened fire, advancing on
them at the same timo. The pur-
suing party returned tho fire dis
abling Penn, when, it is said, Hays
threw down his pistol and ran for
life, and passing through the line
by man who had no gun, he made
good his escape.
Several horses were taken from
them, two of them proving to be the
same ones taken by them from the
party who attempted their arrest
here some weeks since.
This makes six of these charac-
tcrs disposed of in northern Texas
within the last few weeks the peo-
pie seem determined that no effort
on their part shall be wanting to
rid the country of the pests.
