The American Agriculturist for
November says: 'In . recent visit 10
Northern Texas We saw large num-
bers Of the Bois dare or Usage
orange trees In the river valleys, and
heard marvellous stories Of the en-.
durance of the wood 10 situations
where it was much exposed to alter
nate moisture and drouth. 1t was
much used by the Indians for bows,
and the early French voyageurs gave
it the ZANE Of Bois dare, or bow
wood, . name often corrupted into
"Bodock." The trees grows some
times TO . diameter Of two or three
feet, and 10 sawed into lumber for
wagons. 1t is close grained. aud the
tire once set upon the wheels never
loose until it is worn out.
This is a great advantage In any CHM
ate. and would be invaluable in the
almost rainless region of the plains.
They tell Of wagons In Texas that
came In with the irst emigration,
aud, after thirty years, arc still eerv-
ieeable and in good condition. The
wood IL also much used for fence
posts, and resists decay longer than
any other wood in that region. If
these claims r we'll founded, there
must be an immense demand for the
lumber west Of the Missouri, where
wood 10 20 scarce, and where there is
no hard wood at all. The forests of
this wood In Texas should have pro-
lection by law, and 1t should be ex.
tensively planted in the more north.

The New Bedford Mercury tells the
following wonderful tale Of college
hazins: 'Tt occurred, If we remember
correctly, In 1861. II was noticed by
some sophomores that two country
boys had begun their housekeeping
In . room on the ground door Of one
Of the college halls, witha miserable
apology for . bed, nc carpet, no table,
and only two ehairs ~ the sum total
Of their outfit. It Wa learned, also,
that they proposed to board them
selves, and had only . few dollars for
their food during the term. On this
hint they acted. Oae night the poor,
trembling yOuths were summoned by
Q tsoph,' who wss not over-courteous,
to 20 to . room upstairs. Upstairs
they went, expecting to be dealt with
without mercy. They were detained
there an hour or 90, not beiug molest-
ed, but only qaixzed by one Of the
esophs' in tho room. Then they were
dismissed to their own room. When
they entered It was over . nice new
carpet. There was . tasteful bed
stead aud appurtenances, . study
table, chairs, . lamp, . bookcase. .
stove, &C., and in . chest they found
provisions for several days."

FRESH BEEF.-B. F. Patterson, of Pho
nix, Arizona, lost O cow. The animal had
been tied over night, and therope was cut. 1t
locked like the work Of cow-thief, and cow
tracks mixed up with horse tracks, turned
away from Patterson's house, had still
more suspicious appearance. The tracks
were followed until they reached butcher
shop, and there they were lost, but the
butcher "a Mexican) had just killed beef,
and there was tue hide of Mr.. Patterson's
COW stretched out to dry. Patterson knew
the hide, and suspected that the beef came
from under it. The butcher said he had
bought the cow OF another Mexican (naming
him), and that other Mexican was found and
taken before 4 magistrate to give an account
of himself and the cow. He was also re-
membered as wearing ring that had be-
onged to man found dead in the woods
one day. He had never explained satlsacto-
rily how he got that ring, and the people bad
never ascertalned how the man who had
owned and worn the ring among them came
to his death. But this is a DEPRESSION. we
are after Mexican who sold COW to
butcher, who forthwith turned the cow into
fresh beef. Before tue magistrate the butcher
and his wife testified that the prisoner bad
sold them the cow. The prisoner said that
was all true, and Patterson said he had lost
q COW and found hide ard fresh beef that
he believed belonged to her and him. He,
moreover, asked the butcher to pay him for
his beef. This the butcher positively re.
fused TO do, rs he had paid for the cow once.
After the examination the Mexican thief was
taken to Jail. The Mexican butcher was also
arrested, and his examination was to take
place the next day. The farmers began TO
collect in town very early next morning.
They were very quiet and orderly, but
there were a good many Of them. They
went to the Jail and asked TO see
the cow-thief. The sheriff glanced at
the number of visitors, and he thought
he'd let 'em in. The Mexican took Il
morning walk with them a little way
out of town, and they came back in an
hour without him. He had climbed a tree.
The butcher was examined before the lnagis-
trate, and the farmers stayed to hear. the
trial. The butcher was acquitted by the
court, and the farmers still hung around.
They were so thick around him that the
butcher found it difficult to get along after
he had got out of the courtroom. And still
the farmers hung around, land the butcher
found himself walking with them toward
the country. He at length ,consentedto pay
Patterson for the fresh beet, which be had
declined to do the evening before, ana The
farmers hung around no more. They Went
quietly to their several homes. " -..E'
