HARNESS THIEVES AT Work AGAIN.
On Saturday night the harness and saddle
thieves seemed to be out in full force, and
they made very successful raid in the ex-
treme northwestern portion of the city. DR..
S. w. Baker lost a side saddle and set of
harness, valued at about twenty dollars
Mr.. Whiteut lost a set of harness worth
about eighteen dollars; Mr.. Seiders also
lost set worth about the same, and Mr..
VIM. Smyth lost three saddles. A couple
of months ago several sets of harness and
a saddle or two were stolen in the northern
portion of the city, and it is about time the
business should stop. 1t will be recollected
that two or three murders have been COM
mitted in that portion of the city, and now
and then men have been stopped at night.
Let both the police and the people be on
the constant lookout for thieves, robbers
and cut-throats, and shoot them without
mercy.

awoke to find his IIOary Majesty had
paid each and every one visit, and il was
sweet to hear their laughter over the pres
ents he had dispensed. Morning was ush-
cred in by the report of guns and popping
Of fire crackers. Christmas gift p was on
the end of every tongue. The young
ladies, too, were on the lookout, eager 10

the occasion, the day wore smoothly on
There was no excitement in town, save o..

time until thoughts of business again begin
to triumph over enjeyments. Many OF your

that it is situated on Little Walnut creek,
six and a half miles from Austin on the

two blacksmith shops, one wood shop, one

A letter writer says that juries arc not At
fault; that the laws arc not defective; that
preachers and churches do their duty but
that certain fashion Of wearing a pocket
on the side Of the pantaloons, which ms,
prevailed for the last ten or fifteen years, has
been the frightful cause Of many a honlf
eide. We all know that the motion Of a
man in putting his hand in his pocket is the
same as that in drawing pistol, which IS
usually worn in the same position. The
other day man shot another. The one
who shot says tho other made motion as
if TO draw a pistol. This may be SO aud
yet the latter be unarmed, and he might
only have been going to take n chew Of to-
bacco. The motion, however, VIII always
cause apprehension in the minds Of those
who carry weapons especially when persons
are angry. We recolleet years ago hearing
the late Edward Marshall, in summing up
murder case to q jury, when he took ocea.
sion 10 refer TO this same suggestion. He
said that it might not mean anything for
man in Massachusetts,, when he had an alter
cation, TO put his hands under his coat tail.
but that in South Carolina It might mean D
good deal. IN this community, where
weapons have always been so generally car
ried, this motion by an angry man is full 81
danger, II there is no pocket on tho hip,
this motion will not be made by an unnrmed
man, aud more than one life thus saved.

THE FRENEN's BALL.-The firemen's
ball ut Turner Hall Monday night proved a
perfect success, Notwithstanding the bad
wet weather. Over one hundred couples
were present, and many went home as late
as o'clock in the morning. The refresh
ments, though passed around, were exceed
ingly inviting, not only in variety, but in
quality and quantity. An original essay,
read by young lady, is spoken Of in the
highest terms by those present, and a mem
Der Of the FIRE department also acquitted
himself with credit in the delivering of a
short address. The tableau, representing
the fremen actually engaged giving battle
to the devouring flames was very thrilling
and hfe-like. Indeed everything con-
nected with the management of the ball
gave evidence Of the energy, system and
adesire to please on the part Of those who
had the responsibility Of the sffairin charge.
