tents. Seven OF them were oil tanks two

Reasons Assigned for the Adjournment.
GALVESTON, Tex. April TO- 1871.
The citizens Of Texas have claims for twenty MIL
lions OF dollars before the Mexican Commission at

originally supposed that the settlement would show
one hundred millions in our favor, which would re-
suit in the cession OF the desired territory. Ac-
cordinp to the Gadsden Treaty the United States
were bound TO protect the frontier. and afterwards
paid Mexico ten millions OF dollars and was released
from this stipulation IL was supposed that this
cred all damages committed, but counsel or the
balance III favor or Mexico fully one hundred mil
lions. The administration fears the odium OF this,
and so further meetings OF this Commission are
postponed until after the election though there was
no formal adjournment The Neirs will have a long
article on this subject tomorrow.

tional recreation on the Oakland Course,
one Of the most charming resorts within the
city limits, and just here it is pleasant to say
that Mr.. Bright rendered the grounds free
of expense. Scholars and teachers request
us to offer Mr.. Bright their thanks. At first
thought one might consider it uncommon
for boys to give a picnic, but the young
men Of jackson school have studied other
lessons than those found in books. Each
master invited misses as he choosed, and
each choosed well, bringing together hap
Ply bevy. Elated by severance from rou-
tine duties, the scholars, and teachers also,
raced the green fields with pleasure, gam
boiling at will, occasionally resting for re-
freshments. Games of an innocent nature
were INDUCED in, while those who chOosed
tripped to music Of measure. All was natu-
raj glee and the children only regretted
that some of the school directors were not
present to Join in the festivities.

THE SURGICAL ART.

A Successful and Delicate Operation.
From the st. Joseph (Mo.) Gazette, April 1871
Many of the citizens of st. Joseph rcmem-
Der Mr.. Richard Mcintyre, who was for some
time conductor on the Hannibal and St. Jo-
scph railroad. He left that road, and took a
train on the Iron Mountain railroad, where,
short time ago, he had the misfortune to
meet with a most distressing accident. He
was mounted on the top Of freight car,
which happened to be passing under a
bridge which spanned the road. His atten-
ton was at the time directed to something
about the train, and he failed to notice the
bridge.
The result was he was struck squarcly in
the face. the blow tearing off his nose and
leaving it hanging by the skin and mang-
ling his features considerably. The acct
dent occurred near DeSOto and he was taken
to that station for medical attention. Two
physicians were summoned, who declared
that the removal of the nose was absolutely
necessary. A third-a young man who had
just settled in the place, was called in. He
gave it as his opinion that the nose could
be saved; and the others yielding, he skill
fully replaced that organ and sewed it on;
and to-day Mr.. Mcintyre is almost com
pletely recovered, and there is scarcely a
scar on his countenance that could be
noticed without the closest scrutiny, except
about the upper LIP.
