FRIDAY, May u, about o'clock terrif
tic hurricane passed over Groesbeeci, de.
stroying some ten or twelve houses and
injuring Moi. G. a. Wheat, his wife and
}. q. Page. Maj. Wheat was injured In
ternally from the falling timbers Of his
dwelling, and his recovery is considered
doubtful. Mrs. Wheat was also injured,
but it is hoped not fatally. j. g. Page is
regarded dangerously injured. This is
considered the most frightful storm ever
known in this section. Everything, ami
mate and inanimate was swept before thi:
boiling, surging, scathing mass of destruc
ton. Houses were lifted in mid air and
instantly wrenched into thousand fra
mcnis, and their seattle red parts carried
for hundreds of yards on its angry bosom

have touched again until it reached the
farm of Abe McLendon, some three miles
from this city, where we learn it com
pletely destroyed his crop. We write at

On tho 18th inst, Capt. Q. IL
Jordan and w. NJ. Mcconnell came

Indian trail ono mile norti, of Simp
Crawford's--about twenty or thirty

Dry Creek.
On Monday last tho Indians
made raid in Wise county, and
captured horses belonging to VIM
Perrin and others, two miles south
of Decatur. The party divided
one going down West Fork, and
the other in the direction Of Den.

tribes us being in Tcxas-a general
movo of all tho wild tribes upon
Toxas-which consists principally
of the Cheyonncs, Kiowas, Canaan

1t is also stated that the Indians
have been in Jacksboro every night
tor the past ten days, and have
stolen horses from Napen, Duke and
Yokum, within three hundred yards
of the town fort. gH
Capt. Wilcox returned en- the 10th
having been out with twenty five
men north of Jacksboro. Near Buff
falo Springs they were ambushed
by q party of Indians, which result
ed in the wounding of one soldier,
and the killing Of one horse. Capt.
Wilson pursued them to Big Wich-
tia whcro he found the hills alive
with Indians, and no was compelled
to retreat.
1t is believed at Jacksboro that
ali the warriors ha left the reserve,
and are in Texas, and that an In
dian war is upon us.
The cavalry arc all out in small
squads. Gen. Mckenzie has been
ordered TO San Antonio--it is sup
posed for council of war.
We learl from p. S. Hall that n
surveying party of thirteen men
were attacked in Young county, IL
miles northwest of Belknap, on last
Sunday by a band of seventeen In
dams. The white men abandoned
their wagons and took refuge in a
pond of water, where they remain
cd from seven o'clock to twelve NJ.
The Indians fired upon them and
wounded ono of the party, aud cap
tured all the horses. iAA
Two Indians were killed. This
is as we heard it, and we are con
strained to say that We don't adj
miro the result Of this engagement.

p. S. Since writing the above
we learn from Capt. John Written,
who passed through this place yes
terday, with some eight or ten pris-
oners en- route for Baton Rouge,
that the Surveying party killed and
capturcd four Indians in the fight

INFORMATION AsKED.-We have been
shown n letter from Mr.. G. NJ. Wheat, OF
Winona, Minnesota, to his brother in
Groesbecck, in this State. asking for in
formation with regard 10 Dallas and other
places---as to what time the Kansas End
Central Roads will make connections
the chance of renting store room in Dali
las, and if good teachers ore wanted, etc.
We arc getting numerous letters of the
same character, and of course have no
lime to answer them. The best thing per-
sons at distance can do is to subscribe
for the HERALD, or some other good Texas
paper, if they desire information about
Texas without coming 10 look for them
selves. With regard to the enquiries made,
we will say, that we understand the con-
nection of the Kansas and Central roads
will be made by the lst of January next.
The Central Road will reach this city by
the LIST of July, and the grading north
ward to Red River, is contracted for and
is to be finished by the loth OF NoVeinper
Store rooms and dwellings are rented
here ns fast as they can be bailt, and we
have no unoccupicd houses in the city. We
have now some very excellent schools, but
more may lie needed with the increase of
population, which is quite rapid. The bes.
way is to come and look at the country and
the towns, and make the selection which
pleases most. Some will like one place,
some another. We don't wish to advise
everybody to come TO Dallas, lest business
should he overdone. The country should
keep pace with the towns, or rather the
towns with the country. We want more
tillcrs of the ground. We have already
plenty of lawyers, doctors and prcashors--
we must have more workers. We shall be
glal TO see Mr.. Wheat among us.

An Infallible Remedy for
Badness.
From the Hartford Courant.

The bald may now take cour-
age and smile at the frequent sum-
mer fly. 1t is no new lotion that
is to bring back the hairs of their
youth and innocence, but. a sys-
tenn Of planting hairs ia the
smooth skin OF the head, exactly
as cabbages are set out in Il gar
den. A discOverer. whose name
cannot be long concealed from a
grateful world, has invented a
plan of replanting the hair where
it is lost. As plants grow, so
does the hair. IL is rooted and
thrives like vegetable. The op-
Grafton of restoring hair is very
simple: put healthy hairs into the
eyes of needles and draw the nee
dies through the upper skin, the
epldermis being drawn through
the hairs are left in the skin, as a
thread may be left ill any material
by a stitcher. The roots. which
have been ,eXtracred with their
bulbs complete, are brought under
the epidermls. The surface SO
operated on is protected at first by
q linen band, but the hairs soon
take root, grow, and flourish 1t
is not stated whether having the
skin punctured in this way is dis
agreeable, and how ofter it is fatal,
II it is a success, the plan has many
advantages one can have any
color of hair he may elect, and he
'an plant a variety of colors, and
thus make his appearance striking
and beautiful.

Wanton Destruction.

by the latest mail condemn the
destruction cf grain which is ac-

I'VE read of one village after an
other burnt to the ground. with
immense stores of food collected
by the miserable inhabit nts TO
feed them for many months to
come. This work Of destruction
seems to he carried with pitiless
severity, though the resistance TO

Mad Dog.

Last Wednesday evening, as q
number of gentlemen were seated
around the Office stove of hoteI
on Woodward avenue, q peculiar
scratching at the street door at
tracted their attention. Thiuk--
ing that some ore outside was un-
able to find the latch, one of the
gentlemen near the door arose-
and opened it, when to their sur
prise dog trotted in, and walked
leisurely toward the stove. This
created a hearty laugh, which was
of short duration, for the discove-
ry was made that the animal
frothed at the mouth and showed
other unmistskable symptoms OF
hydrophobia. General conster-
nation ensued, and elevated po-
sltiOns were soon at a premium.
His dogship, perceiving that he
was master of the situation,
gnashed his teeth in d.fance,
and compelled every person IN the
room to seek place of ssfety.-
The stove was thrown over, and
chairs, tables, and Office furniture
generally demolished; in fact, one
more frightened than the rest
mounted the red-hot drum at
tached to the fallen stovepipe,
which unenviable position, how
ever, be retained but a moment.
The dog in the meantime had
been making unsuccessful attempts
to bite several of the ''perched"
gentlemen. At this juncture q
hnsty consultation was held, and
it was decided to make a stimuli
taneous rush for the door. This
would, probably, have been done.
had not one of the men succeeded
in constructing a barrier, COM
posed of broken furniture between
himself and the rabid animal, there
by precluding the necessity Of this
change of base. Having accom-
plished this, he opened the door,
and was soon making double-quick
time down the avenue, the dog
following close at his heels. He
fortunately eluded the crazy ami

Wheelbarrow Journalism

The following paragraph from
the Sumerviile Falcon is done up
In forcible style
All the little wheelbarrow
newspapers in West Tennessee
are treating their unfortunate
readers 10 column pai sgraphs on
the political outlook Of the nation,
and are constantly parading their
far-fetched ideas OF the merits or
dement's Of the passive policy, the
strength of The two parties and
the certain results of the conflicts
OF 1872 Occasionally an inflated
gas receiver, calling himself an
editor, mounts bis rIckety tripod,
and with contracted eyebrows and
a dignity awful to behold, reads a
half IA million democrats o. t Of the
party, and then with a scowl, not
"chlld like and bland" he lays a.
side his enormous quill with the
firm belief that his edict has set
tied the destinies of nation. If
such editors would lay aside their
vanity and learn the art of writ
ing local items and pointed edito-
rlals on country matters, they
would become a blessing to the
commnnity-as it is they are a
nuisance.
