The Paducah Herald says: "rhe
Mississippi river continues to rise and
Cairo moves up the pegs in her stills a
hole higher. Move out of that swampy
fog. Cairo, and come up here where you
have high ground aud pure air."
Swampy fog: why we have here the
balmiest Of weather, and know nothing
about fog. We never heard OF iog. The
location Of Paducah, in so far as its high
ground Is concerned, pleases us; but that
town is to far away from any place to
be good place for an industrious man
to live in. II Paducah could only move
down to Cairo. out Of the country, it
would soon grow into great city. and
so would Cairo.

The Wallace sisters.

At Fields Theater last evening a
large and elegant audience composed
of the elite of our citizens, convened to
witness the Introductory performance
Of this well known and highly-tal-
ented company. The initiatory piece
was entitled "Jacquette, or In the
Tolls" written by Fred. Marsden,
Esq, expressly for Miss Jennie Wal,
lace, and we must say that her repre-
sentation of the heroine marks her as
one of the finest impersonators of chac-
acter that IL has ever been our good
fortune to welcome to the city of Dal-
las. The support was excellent, the
tedium that is usual between acts in
dramatic entertainment was enlivened
by an elegant concert of classical
music by an orchestra of artists and,
altogether, we are pleased to class the
entire entertainment as one of the
finest that has ever visited our city.
Tonight they will reproduce this
sterling drama, and we expect to see
the sisters and their excellent comb
nation greeted with an overlooking
house.

SIBERIAN, TEXAS, February !, lo7J
10 The Editor OF The pnllus Herald
a friend writes me that William A,
ObenGhain hRh been complaining Of
The small bond IN the Stone case, aud
that he has several times appeared IN
letters 10 the papers on the subject, !
am not often dragged into newspapers
on matters Of this character, but Il Is
perhaps due him and the public that y
reason should be given why the bond
was reduced. So, first, | reduced the
bail Of Stone, over the protest Of Mr.,
Bower, from one thousand TO five hun
dred dollars. did II because | reduced
the bail Of all other prisoners, and be-
cause there was strong evidence before
me that Stone was insane ut the time
he did the act aud further because
Dallas county was being bankrupted
by the number Of prisoners in Jail, and
because IL Was established that Stone
had been In Jail long time, and had
no property.
In fixing bail before trial ! could not
well discriminate between II bad case
and a very bad one, and Ms ii Is said by
the party complaining that this Is II
Ucyy bdd ease, think II quite
likely that placed the bail too low.
| don't claim perfection never did (;
aud am therefore willing TO say ! made
mistake, and put the bail lower than
1t should have been My reasons for
making such mistake, If any were
made, are already stated.
But ! find Mr.. ObenChain to be the
party complaining. Has he II right to
do so? 1t occurs to that If he was
dissatisfied with tn, bail, common
courtesy would have said that gem
tlemun would have mentioned the
matter to me, and not paraded it in
the paper until was afforded an OPP
portunity to explain. Now, whilst ]
do not strike back AT every little bark,
am not wholly without resentment.
Mr.. Obenchain il the complaining
party! Now, let us see how just and
righteous his Indignation Is. AT the
first term of my court after the dill
Guilty occurred, this man Obenchain
came to me and sought and obtained Il
| private interview, in which he stated
that terms of compromise had been
offered that the Stone case then pend.
ing would not result in private ben.
eft that some compensation for the
injury done could be obtained, pro-
vided the prosecution were dropped, etc
and asked my opinion upon 1t. My
answer was: "lfyou want to go to tn,
penitentiary, you can compromise it,
He stated that he was not aware it was
against the law to compromise it, ant
there the matter dropped. While
think MIR. 0benchain meant no wrong
in entertaining compromise, yet in
jured innocence in that case could have
been compensated with money
had there been no legal impeachment
These are all the remarks | have t
make. Very respectfully, s. HARE.

Owing to the Incorrect manner in which
lands are described on the ASSESSMENT
ROLLS and DELINQUENT LISTS tiled in
this Office the year 1873, several tracts on
which taxes had been paid were not erased
from said list when returned to The respec-
tive Sherihs for the forcble collection of uu-
paid taxes.
Therefore, to avoid all possibility of put
ting any person who has paid his taxes to
any trouble or expense, request that, any
suit instituted against those who paid or
claim 10 have paid their taxes for the year
1873, shall be continued for further examina-
ton and correction whenever necessary /,
and, in case Judgment has been rendered IN
any such case or cases request, further,
that execution shall not boissued.
request, also, that names Of persons who
paid or clam to have paid, and against
whom suits have been brought fov the re4
covery Of taxes, be reported to this ONCE,
with full and correct description of the
lends on which they claim to have been
paid. STEPH. II. DARDEE,

Having permanently established myself

small, and, by this MEANS constantly res
newed and fresh assortment of medicines
with which to fill Physicians prescriptions.
Will use only the preparations of those well
known and reliable chemists Powers and
Weishtman, and Squibbs. will subject my
medicines to constant chemical tests, but as
the laboratory of the Chemist and that OF the
stomach so often differ, will be more than
thankful to any Physician who, upon find
ing any of my medicines inert or lacking in
proper strength will notify me in order that
l may avoid their future use.
