DEAD ANIMALS.

A bill has passed the Legislature, making
it a penalty of not less than five nor more
than one hundred dollars, for leaving the
dead body of any animal upon the streets
or public roads. This is measure of In
calculable benefit and relief. and addresses
itself to the plain common sense Of all.
Many persons have become perfectly careless
and Indifferent about dead animals. So
theylcan get them off of their own premises,
it is matter of no concern to them how
much other people suffer and are. annoyed.
The consequence is that for weeks the olfac-
tories of those travelling the public roads and
streets are assailed with stencil which is in
tolerable And besides being offensive they
cause sickness of a very serious kind. Moth
ing is more fatal TO health than the infected
air which arises from decaying animal and
vegetable matter. 1t was stated as a fact
that the cause of the terrible scourge from
yellow fever in Shreveport last summer was
the sinking of steamboat in the river OPP
posite to the town, loaded with beeves. All
remember the awful consequences. For
weeks and months the reverly of death
went on. Whole families in some instances
were swept of, not one left to bear the
family name or heir the property And
while we do not apprehend such wholesale
destruction from sickness produced by the
dead bodies of animals, here and there, on
the highways and streets, still it is the
part of wisdom to remove, all causes of
disease as far as possible, While on the
subject, it will not be amiss to notice
another injury which sometimes result from
such nuisances. Horses are frequently
frightened by the bodies and the buzzards'
that are flying up and areund-and occa
sionally run away, being unmanagable.
And in this connections, we desire to caIl
attention to a practice in cities which
ought to be prohibited by severe penalties
That is, the throwing of dead chickens
upon the alleys and onopen lots This has
become very common practice, and may
breed typhoid and other fevers. Besides,
parties who have so little regard for. the
comfort of others ought to be made to
sulLer. lisH sTaoE ~ za.EaEE9 o0
As a sanitary measure, it is a good one,
and we are glad that our Legislature takes
time tozlook into 0-the=ceTrection of such
practices as are calculated to do SO much
injury d our. people, heretofore, have been
too lenient about such abuses. But now
that they have a law which win enable them
to prevent the air from being. impregnatesi
with such noisOme stencil, it is to'be hoped
that they will see to its execution, and
bring each vIoIator OF the law to Justice.
The simple enactment Of a Law. win not
produce the desired results unless the vio-
latOrs are punished And although iii
very disagreetble duty to perform, stiII it
should be sterniy enforced. So soon as it is
known that the Law. is being carried ont the
fear Of punishment will prevent its viola
ton A few good laws properly under
stood and enforced are better than thou
sands which are dead letters ON the statute

- The following is from the Dallas a66Dpaerz

The cruel murder, of poor Shire so
thoroughly exaspered the COW boys, that
they turned out en- nsdSse to pursue the muir
derous villain andebrougAt him to speedy
punishment. ff ct aan asias r.l.
After committing the brutal act, Gentry
procured horse and struck out for the
border; there was no lodging men to
whom every by-path was as familiar as the
streetsOf Dallas TO an old residenter. Be-
tween. Fort Concho and Shadburne, they
ran up with their man and called on him to
stand and deliver, which he had the good
sense to dowithOut resistance. With COM
mendable spirit they did him no violence,
but conveyed him 70 Fort Worth, where he
lies awaiting the course of law. lss
Well done for the ''eow boys" They de
serve and win receive the thanks Of the
people of the whole State. That is Just the
way for our people to act when such deeds
are committed, Hunt down the wretches at
once, Put them where they ought to be.
Get rid Of them. Let them know that the
day for such deeds is past. - sras

he would continue his duties until the road

Andit is said that he l1leAdamised il, SO
that il did not need any work fer years
afterwards. But until the Constitution and
laws are changed, the roads must be

quiring them 10 give bonds 10 the county
court for the faithful performance Of their
duty, and to keep the roads an good travel
ing order for the time contracted for Then,
if they should fail, their bonds could be
sued on, and suficient funds obtained to do
the work which they failed to doH And in
contracting to work the roads, all bridges
and ferries on them should be iheIuded in
the estimate The present mode IS 8 fail
ure. We do not know whose fault it is;
but the fact stares Us in the face,
Vehicles are frequently injured by. the
bad roads and travellers delayed in
th,.;g journey. There is no reason why
our roads should not Be the best IN the
States. AS a general thing, the country is
only slightly rolling, just sufficient to drain
we'll. In the mountainous regions, little
more work and care are required to make
good permanent roads; but if the work
were well done, it would be comparatively
an easy task afterward to keep them in good
order. i --- T
Our county commissioners win there
fore only discharge their duties faithfully
by turning over new leaf; let out the
roads to bonded contractors for such time
as they may think best, and require, as
condition of payment for labor done, that
the roads shall be kept in good condition,

gave us a call yesterday. He has spent the
larger portion Of his life on the frontier of
Texas, and been engaged IN many contests
with the Indians, and wears the marks Of
Indian lapces and arrows on his face. We
may at some future time give the details of
one of Capt. Perry's adventures, of a mar
row escape, and of his sutferings and priva-

those who take an interest in the history Of
Texas. y -sts -.

who periIled all in the struggle to wrest en-
empire from the misrule Of Mexico, and the

sacrifices. They are resting in peace upon
