Blalack on hand TO give them q cor
dial welcome.
A GENTLEMAN, whose name we do
not feel NJ liberty to give, has lost, by
theft, four hats In the last week., and on
going home on Thursday night late,
was struck on the head with II stone,
wheroupon Mr. II. switched about on
his heel and Numbered out, "Nes, you
id scoundrcl, you've stolen my hats
and now suppose want my head TO
wear them with"
A LADy's gold hunting case watch
was lost by lady on "Wednesday last,
somewhere between the p0stoillcc and
the square. Tho watch was contained
In u pocketbook, In which was also u
sum of money. The finder will be
literally rewarded by leaving the
watch at the Western Union telegraph
office. Sec advertisement.
VERIFY, 1t was reflnedly cruel TO do
so. A half-witted young man, about
eighteen years of age, drove load of
lumber into this city, yesterday, from
some point In eastern Texas, dis
lance of over hundred miles from
Dallas, he having been told that 1t
could not be shipped by railroad, and
that he could get for 1t seven dollars
per hundred feet In this market.
A PACIFIC engine, in backing up to-
ward the tank, yesterday, knocked
from the track and down the embank-
ment II basket of freshly washed and
ironed clothes. The wrath ofthe laun-
dry goddess was exhibited In her eX-
c.amation that, for every piece oflinen
soiled by that engine, she would throw
ii just that many times from the track,
and that the engineer better look out.
A pIoUs old gentleman, of this
county, in driving load Of salt from
the city homeward, yesterday after
noon, stalled on Elm street near the
Central road After n great deal OF
administrative vocal persuasion prov
ing Intellectual to move his perverse
beasts, he draws from his pocket q
hymn book, and turning to II lavoritt
hymn breaks forth in stent0rial
strains, much to the alarm Of the stu.
tionary animals who suddenly start
up and off in active travelling spirits.
The sale of the Building Association
lots in Live Oak park by Messrs. John
Henry Brown d Venable, was very
well attended yesterday. There were
eleven lots sold, aggregating $3.50,
and averaging about Sl65 per lot.
These lots front on beautiful plot OF
ground which is to be laid oil by the
association into park. The lots are
very desirable for residences, and all
sold will, we learn, be improved
within ashort time. 1t is believed that
had the sale come off on the day first
advertised, the property would have
brought better prices.
ON what trifling matter great re.
suits sometimes hang. Some mer.
chants, while travelling, were overtaker
by storm, and kindled fire Oh the
sands of the sea shore to warm them
selves and cook some food. They
used for fuel Il plant found in the neigh
borhood. Next morning they saw
some shining particles among the
ashes, and an examination showed that
the ashes combined with the sand had
produced hard, yet transparent, solid
SO with Buchu. The HDttentots had
for years used the leaves of the plant
in their rude practice. AS soon as the
resident English and Dutch physicians
found out its value, the knowledge OF
its virtues soon spread over the entire
civilized world. William i. Parkers
Compound Fluid Extract Buchu pos.
sesses all the virtues of the plant, in o
highly concentrated form, combined
with iva ursi, juniper berries, cubeb;
and acetate of potassa, all united IN
such rare proportions as to obtain the
proper medicinal effect of each, while
neither too much predOminates. Sold
by all ruggists, everywhere.
