We learn from Mr.. II. f.. Snodgrass
that,he has sold eighty Of the celebrated
Mccormick Rcapers, Mowers aud llar-
vesters this spring, to be delivered Mt
Dallas. This Is n much greater num-
Der than has been sold of all other
kinds together, and shows the estima-
ton in which these machines are
held.
The Mccormick machines are de-
servedly popular, rs they are without
doubt the most durable, simplest and
most efficient Reapers, Mowers and
Haryesters manufactured, and our far
mers show their good sense in buying
II machine that lasts and does the best
of work under all circumstances.
Mr.. Snodgrass expects to sell two
hundred Mccormick machines Mt DIAL

depot, just west OF the postollice, are
continually thronged with farmers.

SELF-MURDER.

Ayoung Frenchman named Louis
Michel committed suicide on Thursday
evening by hanging himself. Deceased
had been working on the farm of Col.
John M. Crockett, about three miles
from town, and no suspicion was ell
tertained of his designs until his body
was found hanging to tree, about six
hundred yards distant from the colo
nel's house, by some school children.
The body was brought to this city yes
terday afternoon, and an inquest held
OH the remains by Judge Burford. The
evidence, as ELECTED, threw but little
light on the affair. But two witnesses
were examined, Colonel Crockett and
DIR. Wiiiemet-whose evidence may be
synopsized as follows:
Colonel Crockett testified that de-
ceased had been in his employ for
some time; that he was always sober.
honest and Industrious; that deceased
quit work in the field about three
O'clock Thursday afternoon, and asked
for pillow line; after securing it, he
returned to the field, remained II short
time, and again left, after which he
saw him no more alive.
DIR. Willemet testified that he knew
deceased since January; that Mt that
time he arrived in Dallas from France,
having accompanied Mrs. Willemet
from that country; he remained in this
city short time, and then secured
worl, with Colonpl Crock eft with
whom he had since been living; was
under the impression that deceased
was ut times subject to fits of insanity,
and believed that he committed the
act while laboring under the effects of
one,
Deceased had used the pillow line re-
ferred to above to carry out his plan of
self-murder. The line had been
doubled, and Il slip moose made, into
which he placed his neck. Having
climbed the tree and made the end
fast to a, limb, he swung himself
off When found, his head was within
a few inches of the limb, and his feet
within three feet of the ground.
He was from Alsace- Lorraine, and
left his country rather than live sub
ject under his captOrs. He was about
twenty-eight years of age, and is rep
resented as having been an honest, in
dustrious young man. Among his
effects were found a discharge from the
French army, as also discharge from
the fire department of Paris.
The jury rendered verdict in accor-
dance with the facts as above related.
His remains were buried 10y the city

A Sntl Affair,

The reporter has been informed of Il
sad affair which occurred near Forney,
in Kaufman county, few days since,
resulting in the loss of reason to a
young and highly-connected gentle
man of that neighborhood. The re.
porter's informant was unable to state
the cause, but it is attributed to disap.
pointment in n love affair, together
with un infatuated interest in spirit
ualism. TIE HERALD trusts that the
arrangement will be only of temporary
duration.
