TRINITY MILLS, Mays.
To the Editor Of The Dallas Herald:
Permit me, through your columns to
give q few statements In regard to the
well-being of our community. Not
withstanding the dissatisfaction that
has been in our neighborhood, arising,
principally, through the action taken
by the trustees acting for this precinct,
in not allowing the public funds to he
proportioned to each school, we have
had two good schools, and believe
they have been appreciated by all.
However, we regret that May the
sth closed our public school. And we
regret the loss Of one Of our best teach
ers, Mr.. John Longmyer.
had the pleasure Of witnessing the
closing exercises. Two compositions

Miss Susan Poor, which were instruct
i've and well read, after which the au-
dleDce was addressed by Rev. MI. Mas

The attention of the farmers is called
to the Mccormick advertisement in
to-day's paper. The McCormicks have
always had he reputation of being
not only honest manufacturers and ex-
ceedingly liberal with their customers,
but ahead of all competitors in the way
of making Improvements, and at the
same time building machine that is
strong and durable. Their low
prices, long time, with only ten per
cent interest, and allowing a farmer
to try machine through season, are
characteristic of this enterprising
house, and in these close times are a
great help to Texas.

The June races over the course OF
the above association promise to he OF
more than usual interest. TheamOunt
already subscribed to the purses ex-
ceeds that offered ut Galveston, and
will no doubt be duly appreciated by
the sporting men ofthe country. Every
preparation is being made by the man
ayers of the association to make the
affair a success, and If the citizens but
contribute their mite, Dallas Will soon
establish reputation in this connec-
ton commensurate with her stand
ing abroad in all other matters OF bust
ness and pleasure. Much of the sue
cess OF the fair and fall meeting OF the
association depends upon the initial
races, and it is therefore to be hoped
that every citizen will assist the enter
prise to the extent of his ability.

Crops i'm johnson County.

A gentleman just returned from an
extended trip throughJohnson county,
represents the crops in that county to
be more promising, as a general thing,
than wereever before known. Farmers
are in high spirits, anticipating an
abundant yield Of all the crops. The
increased acreage all through the
county is immense. Wheat never
looked better, but corn is little back
ward on account of late frosts, but the
loss from this is trifling.

holders of our bonds and corporate stocks have
been content to receive large share Of their M
terest or dividends in State and corpsrate bonds
or the stock in our great railroad companies, but
their experience with bonds Of the Southern
states. with defaulting railroad companies, and
their observation Of the general financial depres-
sion OF the country now inclines them to avoid
all such investments. Besides this, the demand
for our grain is very small and its price has en-
greatly reduced by the general shrinkage Of
values produced by contraction, and the price
and fore On market for cotton and tobacco are
not much more promising. Having neither bonds,
stock, nor merchandise with which to pay our
annual debt, our creditors take gold. and having
drained the banks, will exhaust the Treasury.
Consequently the value Of our exports Of mer-
chandise is steadily shrinking, and our export Of
specie is as steadily increasing. On the 9th OF
June, 1874 the New York banks held 1851, 400
of specie, and on the 5th OF June, 1875, as their
reports show, they held but $40, 655, 200, having
lost very nearly threeff Of the whole sum in
the interval. To whom has it been transferred !?
To the banks Of other cities No. The last state
ment of the Boston banks showed that they had
considerably less than 100000 among them al,
AID their condition is plethoric in cOmpar-
ison with that of the banks Of this city, which
on Monday last held but S153.654. Remember
that the notes of the national banks are redeem
able in greenbacks, and that, therefore, when
the Treasury resumes speciapayment it must be
prepared topay, not only its own issues but those
of the banks

An Undersigned Dramatic Effect.

From the virginia City news
The audience which attended the performance
at Piper's Opera House last night, were treated
to a sensation which had not been put down in
the bills. The llay was ''Under the Gas Light,
and the scene was presented where Smokey (Mr.
J. K Mortimer) comes in the boat to the rescue
Of Laura Courtland Miss Adams). Dyke (Mr.
Thorne) seizes the oar out Of the hand Of Snor-
key, and, it will be recollected, knocks him over
the side Of the boat into the water. He succeeded
last night far beyond his highest expectations.
The blow dealt was not strong one, but 1t
served to upset Smokey, boat and all The boat,
tators the feet aud legs Of Smokey sticking
through the bottom. The wheels by which it
was dragged across the stage spun round, while
Smokey lried in vain to extricate his legs from
their exposed condition. His struggles only
served to make his situation more ludicrous, and
the curtain was ruDg down amid perfect
storm of laughter. Poor Laura, in the midst OF
her perils, stood upon the pier, and laughed I'M
til it seemed that the stage must fall over into
the seething waters beneath.
