however, to organize a brass band from among

torn to pieces. Sugar houses, gin-hous-
es, fences and everything are partly or
wholly blown down. The great losses
cannot be correctly reported.
The Galveston NeaOs has the following
particulars from the mouth of the Brazos

4 Man of NoeYe.

On Monday forenoon number of trot-
tiers were being exercised at the driving
park, among them Efie Deans, driven
by the we'll known horse raiser, Alden
Goldsmith. The horses were trotting at
a lively pace, and were all punched in a
heap, when one of Efie's reins broke,
and Goldsmith toppled over backward,
and every spectator expected to see him
drop from the sulky and be mangled by
the feet of the crowd of horses behind.
This tragedy was prevented, however, for
Goldsmith, whose feet caught In the
foot rests of the thills, recovered him
self, and then gave an exhibition of nerve
that was most thrilling. The mare, re-
leased from the restraint of the taut
reins, broke into run and flew ahead
like the wind, leaving all of the others
behind. While she was going at this
rate Goldsmith crawled over her back
until by reaching forward he could get
hold of the snaffle of the bit, and then,
living upon her neck, he brought her up
with sudden pull that carried her al
most perpendicularly in the air. He was
heartily applauded by all who witnessed
the daring ed.-KingstOaa IN ID

An AstOnished Mayor.

They came near having duel IN Har-
risburg, Tex, the other day. The Mayor
became offended with one of the citizens,
and challenged him to mortal combat.
Citizen declined. Mayor concluded that
citizen was a coward, and proceeded to
look him up with shotgun. Citizen
was easily found, and when Mayor tried
to shoot, citizen went for him in the
most approved modern style. BE took
the shotgun away from the astonished
Mayor, and, drawing The ramrod, made
that horror stricken official caper and
dance in the most cheerful manner, but
after a style eminently un-Mayorish.
The result of that engagement was pair
of sore legs for the Mayor, and great
moral victory for the citizen.

rage advance of about SC per blu. The corn
market was lower for immediate delivery, but
the longer futlres-November and seller the

The Oyster Trade Of Chesapeake Bay.

An exchange gives the following stats.
tics of the oyster trade and the violation of
the law with impunity. Where is Admiral
Jesse X. Hines of the oyster navy, when
these violations of law are occurring?
"The prospects for the oyster trade the
coming season are reported as promising,
and the oysters all along the Chesapeake
Bay are in good condition. A few have
already commenced the running of oysters.
Although the law limits the season for
longing from the 1st of September, and for
dreding from the 1st of October, yet it is
said that purchases and sales may be made,
and the oysters shipped beyond the bounds

defective or susceptible of such a construc-
tion. Nearly Thousand vessels are an

is thought that between two and three mil
lions of bushels are annually. taken from
