John Wilkinson, whom many OF our
readers will remember as the popular
clerk of the Cosmopolitan hotel, died
at Fort Griffin, OH the 9TH instant,
from the effects of pistol shot wound
received at the hands of q companion.
He was passing tent, while in camp
sixty miles west of Fort Griffin, when
the pistol, which was being cleaned,
was accidently discharged, the ball
striking and badly shattering the knee,
rendering amputation necessary. He
was removed to the fort and the leg
amp itated by the post surgeon on the
4th instant. He failed to rally from
the shock, however, and died the fol-
lowing day. He was first known to
the writer then bookkeeper III the
employ of the California and Texas
railway construction company,) as
time keeper for the well known firm
of Rowe, Learning g. Co., who had the
contract for laying the iron on the
Texas and Pacific railroad. AT the
time of his death Mr.. Wilkinson was
in the employ of the land department
of the Texas and Pacific railroad, and
attached to General J. j. Byrne's corps
of engineers. He was long and most
fnvorabIy known to the travelling pub
lie and orr citizens generally, in con-
nec,iou with the COSmODOlitan hotel,
Had he lived he would have entered
upon q fresh field of popularity as
clerk of the San Jacinto, with the
lessee of which, Mr.. Sells, he was a
special favorite. Deceased was also
correspondent of the New York Clip
per and Wilkes Spirit of the Times,
and he leaves many warm friends in
Dallas to whom he had endeared HIM
self by his genial and unwavering
courtesy.

THE population of Dallas cannot be
less than sixteen thousand to-day.
THAT bridge over the East Fork. 1t
must be built. Without it we loose
trade, certain.
THANKS to Adam C. Hart, Esq, for
merly sheriff of this county and an
old associate of the HERALD, for a
mammoth buffalo fish, caught near
here and weighing ten pounds.
THE list of arrivals at our principal
hotels indicate an unusual amount OF
travel. The trains of the two roads
running here are crowded with passen
gers, immigrating and prospecting.
THERE is large amount of real es-
tate in hands of agents here, but what
with the stiffness of the prices and the
lightness of the money market, the
transactions are limited and the vol
ume of business moderate.

A trip to this little town, on Mon
day, showed us that its denizens are
fully equal in point of enterprise and
goaheaditiveness with those of Dallas.
The cattle pens were completed on
Saturday last, and herd had arrived
for shipment. A neat and substantial
depot has been finished by the Texas
and Pacific railroad. A planning and
saw mill is one of the institutions, aud
new buildings are going up every day.

The decision, says the Philadel.
phia Press, "oi Mr., Justice Strong,
concurred in by the associate circuit
Judge, McKennan, in the United
States circuit court on the 10Th ult ,
given in the Jay Cooke case, is one
of the most important that has over
been rendered upon the bankrupt
law, for this forty-.hird section has
never before been construed in any
authoritive manner. The effect OF
it is to enable three-fourths of the
