Last Saturday morning opened with prom.
ise Of one of the most delightful of days;
and the promise has not been vain, as il
often is in Texas. Saturday is always an
important day in Austin. Most of the
country people select 1t as the day to visit
tbs city, and dispose Of what they have TO
sell, to replenish their stock of necessities
and Injuries, and to chat with others and
keep up with the times. Rain or shine, cold
or warm, many always come, but to day,
after weeks Of cold and disagreeable weathS
er, the whole country force, men, ladies and
children, are 10 town; and every body in
town. too, seems to have left indoors and
gone upon the streets, to see if there is any
thing new in Austin. We cannot tell when
we have seen such a crowd; to look down
the Avenue or Pecan street, it appears as
though they were literally jsmmed with
wagons, carriages and other Vehicles-no
more room for locOmotion-yet there is a
continual moving to and fro; and upon the
side walks living mass elbows its way hith-
or and thitherj some looking up at the signs,
some down at their boots, others gazing in
the show-windows, some vending their way
leisurely in thought, others pushing on at
break-nsok speed, in pursuit of the next
dollar, and too many-savs the mark-hunt-
ing for the Ae1t saloon or gambling hell, to
have what they anticipate as a jolly time.
The city court on Monday generally opens
the eyes Of the unfOrtunstes who have la
bored under such hallucinationI.
But the beautiful day. What is is doing
for our lovely little city1 The streets are
full of life, the stores Of trading people, the
people Of happiness, and the air of warm
and mellow sunshine. 1t makes the blood
thrill through the veins with the lively anti
cipation of spring. Everybody looks pleas
ant and happy in the outdoor sunshine; yet
there are many who enjoy but short and
ftful baskings within It. The poor and hard
worked printer looks oIt upon the brightness
and the moving throng with longing eyes;
but his duties are imperative, and at late
hour on Saturday night, he may wend his way,
tired and weary, homeward, or be led into
snares. Many such beautiful, happy and
joyous days, We hope, may smile upon our
people, and while the sun beams Oh, and the
dark night closes In, We will attempt to add
our mite towards the pleasures of the thou
sands, who enjoy this beautiful Saturday in
Austin.

By notice under head of "New ADVERTISE

largely increased demand for mail facilities,
etc., the Post Master General suggests that

mail matter, so as to secure. safe and speedy
transmission. This is good advice at all

There is considerable complaint by persons
whose stock have strsyed-horses, mules or
oxen-that they End them taken up and
worked, without being posted, as required
by law, and even worked before the time has
expired in which they are to be posted, and
in some instances worked, and then turned
loose again. This is violation of the law
to which severe penalty is attached, and it
would be we'll for those to heed who take
up stock If found in your hands and used
you are liable; and iftaksn up, worked and
then turned loose again, the penalty is Sc

negroes are charged with the latter ofense.
