a. rumOr is abroad that Mr.. William
Faust, the druggist at New Braunfels,
whose newly-married wife was so des-

1t is also rumored that he has another
wife, and child, in Seguin. We men,
ton these things just rs we received
them, but they appear to us as utterly
unnatural and improbable. Mr. Kin
caid, man of good family, and said to
have been u former sutton of Mrs.
Faust has been examined and released.
Mrs. Faust was still alive at last ac-
counts, and may possibly recover, but
her face is ruined, and one eye is
gone.-ISan Antonio Express.

he was decidedly opposed to the meas
ure. Davis upon the federal bench in
Texas would be as great q misfortune,
possibly, as Durell has been in Louis
lana. From such an appointment,
good Lord, deliver us,-[Houston Age.
