better and wiser man than you have this

with few exceptions. firmly united in their
opposition to the arbitrary and despotic meas
urss of the proprietors. For them they cher
ished no love, and being aware Of their weak
ness, they had no fear for their authority;
They saw it demonstrated that the interests or
the colony and those of the proPrietors con,

things remained as they now were, that the
reduction of the people of the colony to mere
serfs of the soil, was only matter of time.

A wild Boy Caught.

A gentleman from Marcos, Texas, tells
of the capture Of wild boy few miles
from that place. The boy was first dis.
covered wallowing in pond of shallow
water, and when approached he broke like
a quarter-horse, running about mile be-
fore he could be overtaken by men on
ponies. Riding up near, the boy was
lassoed, when a fierce contest ensued, the
strange being striking, Kicking and
lunging about in the most fearful manner,
and apparently being frightened almast to
death. Finally he was overpowered, tied
and taken to the house Of the man who
first discovered him. His body was covered
with hair about four inches long, and from
size and appearance he is supposed to be
about twelve years old. He is unable to
talk, but possesses reasoning power, and
now follows his captor about like dog.

In Council, last evening, the Finance
Committee submitted their report which
presents anything but very cheering as
pect of the present condition Of the City's
finances. The City according to the report
has a floating debt Of $l2,21s.54, and the
Committee very pertinently adds that it
will be seen by this that the City has an
empty treasury, and urges upon the various
committees 10 use the greatest caution in
the expenditure Of n oneys. Already
$50, 200 have been borrowed from Bank for
current expenses. There is only $4,000

The design adopted for the new postal

present issue. The paper is light straw
or buff color, and is of very superior
quality. The water mark is tile same as
on the present issue. On the upper left
hand corner in black is the monogram U.

hand corner is likewise in black. It con-

scroll. These cards were to have been ont
by the 4th Of September, but as yet they
have not appeared at the Post Office in
this city. The old ones will probably be
sent here first to be used up, the new issue
going to the local Offices before 1t comes
here. Mr.. Barber, Third Assistant Post
'naster- General, has sent on a few speci-
mems to private persons in this city, but
thus far, it is believed, none have appeared
through the mails.
