A DEAR DEER.-A Mr.. Weed of this
city raised little deer, but the little pet
was fond of smashing things up generally
about the house, and so the deer was sold
at dear price to dear friend named P.
Del. Mr.. Del kept the deer until he found
it very dear investment, for 1t was fear
fully attractive, and then Mr.. Del concluded
that the deer had better die and be served
upon his restaurant tables to make up toI
first cost and butter, dishes, etc. The deer
was dispatched on Monday and hung up in
front of the restaurant to let hungry people
see how fat and nice he was. Some one
took an especial fancy to the deer and car
ried him of, and Mr.. Del has "sOurcd ON
investing in deer dear meat.

SURVEYING THE RoUTE.-The Calves
ton Mercury, of the sixth, announces
that an engineer corps was to leave
that morning for the purpose of ex-
aiming the route of the Gulf, Colorado
and sauta Fe Railroad, in anticipation
of early commencement of work of con-
struction. Now that work is about to
be commenced on the above road, which is
destined to run between the BRACES add
Colorado valleys, and finally tap the Texas
Northern Pacific somewhere above Fort
Worth, Austin should take some steps to in
huenee the location of the road on line that
could be easily tapped by short road from
this city. 1t is probable the road will pass
not more than thirty miles east Of Austin.
A SwEDE FROZEN TO DEATH AND EATEN
BY WoLvEs.-On Monday last Swede
came to this city afoot, from Manor, and in
the afternoon started back again. He was
little lame, and the walk fstigued him
very much. Arriving within about four
miles of Manor he sent colored man for a
horse, but the man was delayed in getting
one, and did not return till the next morn
ing, when the swede could not be found.
In the evening, however, his body was
found near the railroad, and his head nearly
eaten up by the wolves. It is supposed that
his lame limb had given out, and that he
had laid down and frozen to death during
the night. His name we could not learn.

There il \ prospect Of renowa Of the
scenes of violence and b1oodsled which oc-
CURED Inst winter in the Pennsy1vania coal
regions. It is announced that by tho 18th Of
fllia month n general suspension Of work in
the anthracite mines will occur, and that
10000 men will bo thrown ont of en-
ployment for the winter. The Of
der for this Wholesale suspension pro-
ceods Of course from the Anthra-
cite Monopoly in Now York, which holds
IN tho hollow of mercilcss hand tho control
OF the coal production, and which dictates
the price Of coal ut oil the principal centres
Of shipment. The reason assigned for order
ing general suspension Of mining operations
~ oger-production,-that Is to say, acontinu-
anco Of work throughout tho winter would
result in the mining Of q larger quantity Of
coal than could bo disposed Of at prcaent
prices; but the lortly n,onopolists keep up tho
price Just the same, aud in tho end infiict
double damage In limiting consumption
aud In throwing out Of employment thou
sands OF mon. It can be claimed for tho idlo
mud discontented miners, and with not little
Justice, that thoy alone should not bo hold
accountable for the era Of lawlessness and
crime which follows d general suspension OF
work, but that the selfish aud grasping policy
Of the mine-owning monopoly ia In some
measure morally responsible, for the bad
blood aud violence Of the unemployed thou
sands.

In her roply to the Plymouth Church letter
she has announced four supplemental propo-
sitions to DO submitted in her own behalf to
the proposed Mutual Council accompanying
these with full and forciblo reiterntion Of
the reasons she has before assigned for her
absonteeistn. She puts her foot down
firmly, mud, as usual, it makes an impress
sion. The points she names for present.
nent to the Council are, in substance,
whether her conviction Of Mr.. DEEcuEn'a
wickcdncss was justified by the evidence
she had; il justified, ought she to have
continued her attendance upon Mr.. BEECH
Ems spiritual ministrations? md, after hav-
ing stated her reasons, ought her name to
