O'Clock, difficulty occurred among some Cinnamon

up and discharged two shots in the fallen mans
body. Officer Harold, hearing The reports OF the

TEXAS.

We make the following extract from
the letter of Horace Greeley from GAL
weston, Texas, May q, to the Tribune !:
GAS yet the mineral wealth Of this
State sleeps undisturbed and useless.
She has iron enough to divide the earth
by railroads into squares ten miles
across but no tun of it was ever smelt-
ed. She has at. least five thousand
square miles of coal POSSIBLY much
more, bnt no tun of it was ever dug
for sale. She has gypsum enough to
plaster the Continent annually for
century; but it lies inert and valueless,
q waste of earth-c0vered stone. She
has more land good for wheat than
Minnesota, yet imports nearly all her
-four she has millions of acres of excel
lent timber, yet builds mainly of pine
from Louisiana and Florida; she sends
to Ohio for her hams and to New York
for her butter, and would import her
berries and fruits if her people had not
learned, while they we're unattainable,
to do without them. If ten thousand
Northen farmers would settle just be-
below Houston, and devote themselves
to supplying that city and this with
fresh mill, butter, strawberries, rasp-
might charge double prices and get
rich faster than SO many cultivatOrs
ever did before. They would have to
make their own ice, but that is not diff
cult; they might have to teach the Tex
as Ventral how to run q milk train fifty
miles, but that need not exhaust their
energies. Their pasture land, fenced,
might cost them SO per acre, just
around depot and junction their cows
might be picked out atS15 per head,
and they would soon sell hay enough
at 200 per cent to defray the cost Of
feeding and shedding stock. This is
but one of a hundred equally promis- |
ing enterprises now 1mpatiently await |
Who will send them along 2"

GROUND BEETLES.

Among the many insects beneficial to
the farmer is ranked the large family OF
beetles belonging to the genus Carabus
of Linneus and now subvided into nu-
merous genera by modern entomolo-
gists. Nearly all of them, in every
stage of life, are insects feeders, and as
sist greatly in keeping in check those
species of insects which feed on vegeta-
BILE matter.
All are supplied with powerful jaws,
with which they can easily tear up in
pieces the species on which they prey.
They are generally to be found beneath
the ground, or under stones or logs al
80 among gEAss and leaves. Some sp1-
cies are not supplied with wings, their
eiytra being soldered together; and
such prey ON insects which devour the
roots and lower parts OF plants, and the
larve of such species of insects as live
in the ground during the early part of
their lives. All these are dark colored,
as they seldom appear in the light of
day, but carry on the chase during the
hours of night.
There are some species, however,
which feed in daylight, and prey on
species of insects more arboreaI in their
habits, that are finely colOred. This
specie has the elytra or wing covers of
8 beautiful metallic green, edged with
copper color: tbs thorax steel-blue,
edged with coppery orange, head blu
ish, with coppery shades legs, antenee
cad eyes black. This is one of the
most beautiful Of our native beetles and
as it feeds on insects only, should not be
injured. All the CaEabid4 emit very

REV. MR. CHENEY'S CASE DECIDED
BUT NOT CLOSED.

This case which has engaged the at
tention Of the people OF Chicago and
elsewhere, for some time past, has been
decided by the suspension Of Mr.. Che
neY from the exercise of the functions of
minister Of the Gospel. But the men,
bers of Christ's church are not willing
to be deprived OF his ministry, and SO
he continues to occupy the pulpit. How
the case will ultimately terminate, 1t is
not easy to conjecture.
The public interest in the case has
been increased by q sermon by Rev.
Stephen II. Tying Jr., of New York.
The sermon was preached in Christ,s
church, and Mr.. Cheney was associated
with him In the exercises, both morn
ing and evening. His theme was " The
duty OF the church of Christ towards
its ministers" and he extelled them not
to condemn their pastor. He set forth
that in essentials there should be unity
in non-essentials liberty, and in all
things charity. Mr.. Cheney engaged
in each service so far as to read the morn
ing and evening service for him.
This is clearly 9 case Of defiance Of
the authority of the court that tried and
passed sentence of suspension ON Mr..
Cheney. It is serious question, Chow
ever unjust the sentence may have been,)
whether such open defiance of the sem
tence will do more good than harm.
The matter seems to be one Of consci-
ence with Mr.. Cheney, and in comply
ing with his convictions, he must neces-
sarily violate rule and common usage
OF the church of which he IL q minis
ter, for the form is printed In the book
which is their standard for common
use.
In these, his convictions or sentiments
(being with regard to using the word |
regenerate in the baptismAl serviee,)
he has the sympathy not only Of lay
men and ministers of his own church,
but OF nearly the whole protestant COM
And still it remains q ques-
ton whether IL would not be more /
proper for him to withdraw from that
than to remain and con-
tinue to defy its authority. On the
other hand he is sustained by q very
large church which has been gathered
BY his own labors, and which owns 9
costly and convenient church edifice
he pecuniAry interest in which may be
by his remaining, and con-
inues to contend for his principles on
hat pulpit.

How TO FIT A COLLAR TO HoRsE.-
The plan adopted in the West, which
we are assured by men who have been
in the collar business, does not injure
the collar in the least, is TO dip it in wa
ter until the leather is thoroughly wet,
then putt on the horse, securing the
names firmly, keeping it there until it
becomes dry. 1t is all the better If
heavy loads are to be drawn, as that
causes the collar to be more evenly fit
ted to the neck and shoulder. If pos
sible, the collar should be kept on from
four to i've hours, when it will be per-
fectly dry, and retain the same shape
ever afterWard and as it is exactly fit
ted to the form of the neck, will not
produce chafes nor sores on the horses
