MANY of our citizens are buying prai-
rie lands and establishing farms there
OH, in preference to the sticky soil of
the river valley. This species of land
has never had, heretofore, any but Il
mere nominal value III Victoria coun-
ty, and as u consequence some of the
best land in the county has never been
improved. The advantages possessed
by prairie land over the river valley
are manifold. First, chcapness; sec
ond, greater ease in its cultivation.;
third, greater certainty in securing an
early "stand" and exemption from
overilows. Pass the fence law, and the
prairies of Victoria county will soon be
settled by industrious tarmers-men
who are able to purchase from fifty to
one hundred acres of iand-the class
which comprises the bone and sinew of
any country. Thous Eos of poor men
are debarred the privilege OF building
homes of their own by the useless ex-
pense of fencing, and the state looses
annually thereby more than the entire
stock interest is worth in any five
years.-[ Victoria Advocate.
A few days since an Italian gentle
man was introduced to us by a friend
as one in search ofland for a large colo
ny of his countrymen. He explained
to us his plans. He wanted to get at
very low rates, on easy payments, some
fifty or more thousand acres in one
compact mass good land, convenient
to railroad. This was sine qua non,
whereupon we frankly told him he
could not succeed IN this portion of the
state, stating the manifest. "Where,
then 2" said he. We replied, 'in the rich
prairie lands in the county of Victoria
good lands, good climate, good peO-
pie, and a railroad running forty miles
to the seaport of Imdianola. We will
give you letters to GOOD men who vii
assist you, such as Mr.. John J. Linn,
Dorwin NJ. Stapp and others, and you
can get all the land you want at one
dollar per acre, in easy annual pay
ments, us we think"
Now, as II matter of course, we would
greatly prefer having all such emi
grants come to our section. But our
lands being in small tracts, considera
bic of it owned by non-residents, vast
amount occupied as homes, by men
who will not sell, and the vacant land
being esteemed very valuable, it is
perfectly plain that such large, COM
pact bodies as desired by this gentle
man, cannot be obtained at all within
the settled parts of north Texas, and
they are unwilling to go on the from
tier. We simply gave him the best
advice we could, under the circum~
stances, and commend him to the
goodwill of our fellow-citiZens of Vic
toria.

Thirty years ago roOm-mate of the
writer died of this disease. He was n
renowned maker of rifles. His weak
ness was the dog; he would pick up
fancy CANNES without masterS--hod
ten to twenty ownerless animate In his
kennel. In sportlve moments, We
said: "Brunker you will yet die OF
dogs-mad dogsw He laughed. one
Sunday afternoon, in his ratnhies, he
picked up Il stray little "king Charles
spaniel,n in Lockport, New York.
The dog bit him in the wrist; he threw
him down in disgust, and thought no
more of the incident. After the lapse
of six weeks he complained that the
right wrist had failed him. soon after
he had repugnance to water, but
could drink cider. Next day he could
not drink cider hut craved vinegar
On Sunday evening he came to the
hotel and said to the waiter: 81 am
going mad.n The waiter, laughing,
said: "hrunker, | will give you glass
of water; take it-drinli it," And
when placed the glass Of water in his
hand an involuntary spasm came over
him, and the contents went into the
fire. Then | knew he was mad, and
became very nervous, and called upon
others to assist to take care of this
man. While the writer was absent he
went to his room and tore the bed
clothes in all shapes. \ window was
above the door. Stepping upon the
shoulders of an assistant, and opening
the window, we shouted to Rrunker:
"Here | am; what is the matter with
YOU ~ Meantime the door was held
firmly at the outside. Soon Brunkcr
regained his c6mposure, and told rs TO
rlter the room, as the tit was OIL and
all danger over. Stalwart men beside
us wavered; but we entered. Wewent
to dravei' and took sash or face
muf1ie., and piuioned his arms with it,
AS he requested. He said the volunta-
nv muscles had become involuntary;
and if he did injury he could not avoid
it. This lasted twenty. four hours,
during which poor Bunker had lucid
intervals and knew his forlorn condi-
ton; but the rational moments, be-
tween spasms, became less and less Till
he died.
This was the most developed case Of
hydrophOhia the writer ever Witnessed.
Since that time he has seen two dogs
mad, hut chained. Pouring water from
one dish To another 10 witness the ef-
fects, in all respects they exhibited the
same repugnance to water us did friend
Brunker--a shnddcr followed by q
spasm. Yet il is now asserted that this
rabies in dogs creates no antipathy to
water. And this is so asserted in Lon
don journals. 1t may be 50, bnt cXpe-
rience is to the contrary.
1t seems now TO he conceded that,
while men in this disease abhor water,
dogs with hydrophobia court it and
drink it. The two dogs the writer saw
in the midst of their madness would
rave when water was poured from one
dish into another. Ought not science
to settle this mooted point?

Terrible Accident.
From the Shreveport Times, 25th.l

From the Shreveport Times, Goth.l
Yesterday morning, at about eight
o'clock, as the train from TeXarkan&
for Marshall, was crossing the bridge
over Little Cypress bayou, six miles
this side of jefferson, the last bench
of the bridge gave way, precipltatlng
the engine against the bank and the
tender and express car into the bayou,
killing the fireman and seriously injur-
ing the engineer. The shock broke
the coupling that held the rear cars to
the express car, and saved them from
being also pitched into the bayou and
wrecked.
The engineer and firemen We're the
only persons on the locomotive and
EXPRESS car, though there were twenty
passengers in the other cars. The
ilame of the engineer is Toney Bar
stowe. His left arm is broken In two
places, and he complains of much pain
in the breast, though strong hopes are
entertained of his recovery. He was
taken to Marshall on the relief train.
Ed. Johnson, the fireman, had his left
leg mashed into jelly. His stomach
was also badly mashed, and his whole
body bruised and badly cut. He died
In about an uOur anu quarter, iC
marking just before his death that he
left widowed mother and three sisters
to the mercy of the world. The con-
ductor was slightly injured and num-
Der of the passengers Knocked over.
1t seems that the foundation OF the
bridge is not the best, and the recent
rains and flood had washed under the
piling. We are informed that the
bridge was not considered secure, and
a force had been sent there the day be.
fore to work on it, but the rains had
not permitted anything to be done.
w. Ford, brakesman on the train,
is highly spoken of for his coolness::
He prevented number of frightened
passengers from jumping off the e, train, ra n1
to stop and notify the freight train
then nearly due.
A relief train was Immediately sent
out from Marshall. Until the bridge
is repaired, trains from Texarkaha and
Marshall will exchange passengers,
etc, at the break.
