Now is the, time to make up clubs
for the WEEKLY HERALD. 1t circu-
lates far and near.
The WEEKLY HERALD, $3.50 per an
mum, will best post your friends ut
home about Dallas and Texas.
In the criminal court on Saturday
morning about two o'clock, the jury
brought in a verdict against Jim,
Crutchiield (negro) of murder i'll the
second degree, and assessed the pun
ishment at nine years in the peniten'
tiary.
General ]. 3. Robertson, emigration
agent for the state, passed through our
city Yesterday, en- route for the south
ern part of the state. The general is
perfecting arrangements for the imni-
grafton excursion over the Central
railroad to the northwestern states. 1t
is probable that the excursion will be
postponed until some time in the
spring. or this we will be able to give
definite information in n few days.
Ample notice will be given to all in
terested rs TO the time.

According to the report of the city
secretary, Of the receipts and expendi-
lures of the city government from
April IL, to October 81, 1874, published
about the LIST of December last, being
the regular semi-annual report, it APP
pears that the city debt on the 3lst of
March, including bonds was SSS, $50 80;
expenses of city government to Octo-
Der 81, for iiaes, $40, 0S4.2O; due treas
urer on sundry accounts, 1926. 10 maxi
ing a total of, Sll0,345.SS Income from
taxation and fines, $29,4l2.09; amount
of debt on LIST of November, 1874, $780,
933.79. Thus showing reduction Of
the city debt of nearly $4,000 in six
months. 1t is proper to state, that the
above statement is exclusive of the
interest on the Texas and Pacific rail-
road bonds, that being separate ac-
count. This amount, due October "A,
1874, was $500, and sinking fand,
$1,000, making total of si4,5oO, on
which there had been collected and
paid up to March list, the sum of 81
4OS.67, leaving balance still unpaid
of, $2,09l.33.
Considering the many drains on the
city the past summer, this is most
favorable showing, and exhibits a
much better administration of the
financial affairs of the city by the-pres-
ent council than we were prepared to
see, and it gives us pleasure TO accord
them tie credit that l. their dues.

our friend, DR.. Il. S. Burke, formerly II
prominent physician of Lavaco, and
who has been sojourning with us for II
few days, left on the mail boat yester-
day for Corpus Christi, where he in
tends practicing his profession. The
citizens of Corpus Christi are fortunate
in having so estimable n gentleman
and skillful physician added to their
growing population. We trust that
DR.. Burke's health, which is only good
on tire coast, may be improved TO its
former vigor in his new home.-- In
dianola Bulletin.

Louisiana artillery, confederate states

his effort was most able and forcible
one. In his review of the testimony
he was corrected but once by the coun-
sci for the defense, and herather turned
the correction to his advantage.
He was followed by z. 4. Coombes for
the defs Sc, who, after defining the
line of defense to be adopted by de-
fendant's counsel made vigorous ap
peal to the jury, asking them to put
themselves in defendants place, and
think how they would have acted if
placed under similar trying circum-
stances. After the conclusion the jury
was placed in charge Of n deputy sher-
if, and court adjourned until nine
o'clock this morning when the trial
will be resumed, and District Attorney
Bower will probably follow for the pros
ecution.
The court room was crowded with
spectators, of all ranks and professions

seated within the bar.
