MURDER on PLAxTATIoN.-During Fri
day night woman named Laura Hudson
was beaten to death in her bed, on planta-
ton four miles above Carrollron, right
bank. Coroner Taylor held an inquest, and
from evidence elected, concluded that she
had been killed by her first husband,
Thomas Hall. Hall and deceased separated
several months ago, and both took other
mates, the woman marrying Hudson. After
that, Hall often made deadly threats against
Laura and Hudson, which facts were we'll
known to the latter and to others. Friday
night Hudson remained away from his
house, but, before leaving, cautioned his
wife to securs the doors and windows. Sat-
urday morning the poor woman was found
lying on her bed, her head literally beaten
to an indistinguishable mass, as if done
with blunt instrument. A door had been
forced by the murderer. There were marks
Of violence and blood in the apartment. All
hands ON tho plantation were greatly ex.
cited, and . bad feeling was freely ex-
pressed toward Hall. He escaped, proba.
bly, coming to New Orleans. He is de-
scribed - very ferocious in appearance,
very black, about six feet high, and thin,
with . shocky head Of wool and few tufts
on his chin. He has also squint in his
right eye, and has sneaking expression.

Loeomotiye Engineers.

Locomotive engineers are n peculiar
class OF people. Some Of them are very
superstitious, and feel almost as bad
about running over a man and killing
him by accident as though they had done
it purposely. Others look upon it as one
of the accidents of the profession;
"Thats the eighth man I've killed,
said Jack Smith, gloomily, after the cor
oner had "sat" on the victim. Jackwas
an engineer on the Cleveland and To
ledo railroad, and one Of the best that
ran into Cleveland two years ago. Hun
dreds Of people made it their habit to
walk on the track for mile or two out,
and as there were several tracks with
trains passing and repassing constantly,
careless or deaf people deaf people
always seem to prefer railroadt track to
walk on in stepping off the track to
get out of the way, frequently get
right in the way Of one approaching I'M
observed in another direction. In such
cases, however careful an engineer may
be, he cannot prevent a. catastrophe.
e" Yes" said Jack, after brooding over 1t
in very melancholy way, that's the
eighth man I've killed in jes that way
walking on the track and then stepping
right in front of my locomotive thout
once seeing me. But this is the wust
case of all, continued Jack, producing
his pocket handkerchief and blowing his
nose with much feeling, ".wust case of
all, and / feel dreadful about it" His
voice trembled, and tear trickled down
his bronzed cheek. How worst Of all,
Jackg' ! impaired. Why, you see,
said Jack, he was big fat man, and
he mussed my engine all up" nnt

Texas. the GREAT cattle Ground.

Texas is truly the cattle hive of North
America. While New York, with her
1000, 600, and her settlement two and a
half centuries old, has 74s, 900 oxen and
stock cattle; while Pennsylvania, with
more than 5000, 900 people, has 72l 900
cattle; while Ohio, with 1900, 600 people
has $4,000 cattle; while Illinois, with
2. 800 600, has $4,000 cattle; and while
Iowa with 100000 people, has $4,000
cattle-Texas, and forty years Of age,
and with her 100000 people, had 2,O0O,-
600, of oxen and other cattle, exclusive
of cows, in 1867, as shown by the returns
of the county assessors. aa.
In 1870, allowing for the, difference be
tween the actual number Of cattle
owned and the number returned for tax.
alton, there must be 5000, 900 head Of
beeves and stock cattle This is exclu-
siye of cows, which, at the same time
are reported st 100000 head. In ls7(
they must number 100000, making q
grand total of three million eight hun
bred thousand head of cattle in Texas
One-fourth of these arc beeves, one
fourth are cows, and the other two
fourths are yearling and two-year ODDS
There would, therefore. be $50, 900 beeves
$50, 900 cows, and 100000 young cat
tie. There are annually raised an'
branded 100000 calves.
These cattle are raised on the grea
plains of Texas, which contain l52,

From the Lacrosse Republican 7f4.
A man who had been with sherman
in his march to the sea, was caught
In the midst of fire which was ap-
preaching him from all sides. Having
no matches TO create what is called set
ting back FIRE, and death staring him
in the face, his wit suggested gopher
hole" Setting to work with the will
that a man would use who was working
for life, he attacked the sod with large
hunting knife, cutting q large piece
away, he rolled it back and at once
commenced throwing the soft, dry earth
upward and outward, and soon had a
hole Of sufficient size 10 admit his
body. Carefully drawing the sod toward
him be succeeded in drawing il over his
body, and then filed mp the e chInks
with dirt from within. He lay there
until the fire passed over him aud was
speeding furiOusly on its way miles dis
tant when slowly he craVled out Of his
I living grave, heated fearfully, bot in
iured in no way whatever. His soldier
experience had saved his life.
