 A certain Dulchman and his ,lutcsl'cr ,nsn Mike hAilng from Nv York hAv. for several years past been pretty extensive purchasers of tobacco in this toWn uni have for some reasons been conSjd red rather tricky. but never havr been actually caught at any game. The following GIT cun,stauce we will know m lre unout as the thing is more fully developed. L st Saturday being the day apponte& for re- ceiviE9 the crops bought at this depot. among the rest Was Mr. George WheeIe r. who is also rather sharp. Mir Wheeler had occasion to step out d moment while they were weighing his st box, when he returned he observed that it was 50 pounds short, and mentioned the fact to them and demanded to see it weighed oyer again, but they dcmured, and rather than weigh it over again allowed Wheeler the 50 pounds he claimed, after which the man Mike found 50 pound weight on the scales, and threw it away and Mir. Wheeler picked It up. Mike got hold of it again and put it in his pocket. Others who had got their pay. smelt the rat and employed two men to follow the tobacco to Bridgeport. and if possible weigh their crops over again, but they found it loaded on the boat and SO followed it to New York and weighed it in the depot there, and found several cases to weigh 50 pounds more in New York than they did here. Such game not setting we'll with our farmers, we under stand legal measures have been taken to recover. The suit comes off before Justice 1 Beach, March 9Lh. We are sorry to learn that our 9th part of man Mir Jaqua is obliged to leave town for want of d house to live in. Mir. Jaqua has been with us for the past five years, and has proved himself a good and peacable citi zen, as well us an excellent tailor, and his services arc greatly needed here. We sincerely hope he may yet find place to stay. This town needs more houses, there is capital enough around to build them and all 1t wants is little ambition and public enterprise. ......Tue Kent Cottage stminarv clos it's winter term, with a grand exhibition Thursday evening, Feb. 22nd.

TUE MAiLs.-The Liberty Observer says

think go truly. The copy of the Observer,
in which this complaint is made, is dated
the 18th Of January, and ii has just come
to hand. II is the same with the most Of
our country exchanges, and there is even
much uncertainty with the Houston and
Galveston papers. There is no reliance
on our Austin mail. We have not received

lieve the fsnlt lies with both the mail con-

But we suspect there are careless post
masters, who send of the mail in the wrong

there are contractors, who prefer carrying
passengers 10 the mails, and especially the
heavy newspaper mails. The mails ought
not to fail between here and Galveston and

Mr., John Truelove, who has jmsl
returned from Jacksboro, where he
has been to deliver up to the com-
mander at Fort Richerson two de-
scrters captured by the Police, gives
us the following additional particu-
lars as to the doings of the Indians
that have recently been proving
about in the western coun les: On
the 10th of January, Truelove and
his party crossed an Indian trail,
coming South, at Sandy, in Wise
county, near Picket's rancho; there
were sixteen Indians in the band,
twelve footmen and four mounted.
Ten miles further west they cross
ed another trnil of seven Indians
coming south.
On Saturday, the Goth, three
young men, Cooley by name, living
on Picket rancho in White prairie
came upon four Indians, and killed
two of the four, one of whom they
scalped, while the other dead In :,
dian was carried away by his COM
panions. The two dead Indians
horses.ysfe captured, but the 9th
Eers Succeeded in getting away with
Eall the other horses. The fight oc-
CURED one and half miles from
the rancho.
On Friday of last week, the Goth
a smr II band of indians was seen
near Decatur, in Wise county.
Uutil there is a change in the In
dian policy of the Government, we
need not hope for better things than
that the Texas frontier will suffer
from these Indian raiders, who visit
the border counties to commit
all manner of mischief such as
murder, theft, carrying away into
captivity women and children, burn
ing houses and devastating the
country, and committing other
crimes too horrible TO mention
Every red skin caught outside Of

Throughout the counties of Wise.
Parker aud Jack there has been an
increased average sown to wheat;
and, so far, the prospects were never
better for a full crop, the farmers are
buoyant with hope of a rich har-
vest.

wise head to keep his mischievecus

death Of Miss Ruth Casey, ayoung school
girl of fifteen, by her clothes taking fire
while at home. Her father was present,
but could have had no presence Of mind.
The SweIes of Austin are trying to raise
money enough to build q church.
The rails Of the Waco Tap have been
laid TO within eight miles Of Marlin.
The Knighte TemplHrs lately had Ban
auet at Bryan. The Marlin Telegram says
it is the purpose of the u. E. Grand Com.

ter OF Austin on the S0th ult. at 10 degrees,

The Waxabachie Democrat claims for
Ella county fairer record than any other
county in the State for "chastity of man.
nsrs," and great many other good tn ngs.
1t attributes this TO the small number Of
radicals living there.
The Texas Sun, published at Gatesville,
says that an Immigration society has been
formed in that county to encourage set
tiers.
The Calvert Tribune, radical paper,
complains Of two goats, who trouble the
editor Of nights. There will be Ku KluI
story made out Of that before long.
A radical official at Corsicana arrested
q young man the other day because, driv-
ing into town with some young ladies, one
of his carriage horses, which could not trot
as fast as the other, struck up a gallop.
The case was finally dismissed. The OBJ
ject seems TO have been to make n little
money in the way of fue, costs, ETC.; 90
says the Corsicans Observer. The same
paper tells that the city authorities there
have got into muddle. The radical Off.
cials are getting into muddles and puddles
nearly everywhere.
