If the party who found a child's blue cloak, trimmed with fur, which was lost at the School Exhibition on the night of Dec. 2l, wishes to return it to the own CT, they can do so by handing it to Capt Barrow.
 --"Ye host" Barrelle, of the railroad eating house, is winning fresh laurels every day by the ex- cellent manner in which he caters to the public taste. He sets A No. l table, and supplies it to overdowing with the best the country affords. For q good square meal we commend you to Barrelle's.
 From the Windsor (Mo. ) Register, we notice that Miss Tennie Williamson, late of Rus sellville, is to take charge of a select school at Windsor, imme- diately after the holidays. The many friends of Miss William son here, wish her a full measure of success.
 On account of the inclemen. cy of the weather, the perform ance of the drama of the Ten Virgins was postponed until to- night. At which time the full play will be presented together with tableaux, which will render this entertainment one of the most interesting and instructive ever presented in Russellville. Do not fail to attend. Admission 90 cts. Children half price.
 DOOR KEEPER OF THE HoUsE.
 Our friend, Mir. A. B. William son, informs Us that he is still in the ring as a candidate for the position of door keeper of the House. We hope Mir. w. will receive the support of enough members to elect him, for he will make a splendid officer Tn that capacity. We have known Ben for many years, and we take pleasure in recommending him for that position.
 GUARD AGAINST FIRE-We caution our house holders and tenants, especially in tho business portion of town that they cannot use to great degree of care about their fires, flues and stove pipes. A fire on Man or Buch- anan street would be a sad calam- ity and would almost surely de- stroy the whole business proper ty on those streets, for our facil- ities for fighting fire amount to nothing at all. Indeed our busi- ness men seem very reckless about this matter, for we do not think there is but one merchant who keeps any insurance on his stock. Would it not be wlse Tn all the merchants and house own. CTS on Main and Buchanan to keep at least portion of the val ue of their stocks and houses GOV cred bv policy of insurance? ls the risk not too great for our citizens to carry it allthsmselves? Think cf this gentlemen.

The Atkins Af'ray.

Some little excitement was caused in our town on the morn ing after Christmas by the arriv- al of a dispatch that there ha,i been a shooting spree at Atkins on Christmas night, resulting in the wounding of seven men.
 When the particulars of the af- fair reached us, however, it prov ed to be nothing of very serious nature. It seems that there was a ball at the masonic hall on Christmas night, and some Ger mans who applied for admission were put out in pretty rough style. After being put out of the house the germans felt very in dignant and deternined to have satisfaction. Several knock downs followed, and finally the affair eliminated in squad of the boys from the hall, who had step- ped out of the building, being fir ed into with shot gun charged with shot. Seven received slighs wounds, Mir. Newt. Holder field and Will Ragland being worse hurt than any of the rest.
 The affair was investigated by a magistrate, but no evidence was elicited to show who did the shooting.
The Russellville Democrat., 1877-01-04

Since writing the above, we have further information which puts rather an ugly face on the matter so far as the crowd who assumed to be running the bali is concerned, and leads to the con- clusion that the germans acted wholly in self defense. It ap- pears that crowd, mostly from Lewisburg were determined to be the big fellows on the occasion, and not being satisfied with hay ing expulsed the germans from tEe hall, repaired to saloon af- ter the ball and after holding a consultation over some bad whis- ky, concluded to advance on the "d--d dutch'' and clean them up. So, headed by one Polk Almott, who .sported a six-shooter and claimed the right to use the same in his own private sprees for his sport, by virtue of holding the of flee of deputy U. S. marshal, a squad of the would be bullies proceeded to advance on the abode of the said germans. The result was shot by some one, seven wounded bullies, and dis orderly retreat.
 When Almott was arraigned for carrying. and displaying dead ly weapons to the terror of peace able citizens, he fell back on his commission from Mir. UpLam as deputy marshal.
 And this leads us to remark that if deputy marshalls are au- thorized to indulge their own de- prayed taste as to when and how they use their navy sixes, said appointments should always be bestowed on sober, good men men who will not abuse the priyi- leges of their office.

TnE State Gdsehe of the 9th and 18th
has redeemed its promise of making u
iull erpos5 of the Canoy and Barnard
land grab, by which quarter of mil
lion OF acres Of the public domain was
incontinently gobbled, and Governor
Hubbard's action thereon. We regret
the extreme length of the documents
and the GasetteS comments, because
this fact precludes our reproducing
them. However, we may remark that
by that papers showing u most bare
faced fraud was attempted, and but for
Governor Hubbard's vigilance and de-
votion TO duty, would most unquestion.
ably have been consummated. AS it
is, the certificates have been issued, but
the action Of the governor is such us to
cllectually prevent their sale, and thus
the public interests are guarded. The
matter has an exceedingly ugly outs
look for some people, and may prove
but tho starting point for most unen.
viable notoriety.

EVERY traveller who goes into the
country in any part of north Texas
since the late rains commenced, is as
tonished at the magnificent crops of
corn and cotton seen in every direction.
Indeed tho fields groan under their
loads OF these great staples of life.
Millions upon millions will be added
to the wealth OF the people by this sim
gle crop alone. While, of course, ii is
intrinsically valuable in itself yet it's
great worth TO us will be lis quality of
attracting a vast number of good FARM
ers to our highly favored section of the
state. Our people might as well cons
mence preparing for an immense immi.
grafton which this circumstance will
surely attract. Already there are many
people here prospecting for suitable lo-
cations. We see and talk with them
every day, and the universal verdict is
that no country on the habitable globe
surpasses our section in all the essen
tials Of an immense agricultural sue
cess.

WE have carefully watched the course
of the great papers since the strike and
its attendant disorders commenced,
and must say that, no matter what evil
policy underlies the matter, as u remote
or even an exciting cause, it cannot be
CHI arged upon the press that it has been
either neglectlul of its duty, or weak in
its W arnings. The Boston Post has been
especially able, and since the disorder
commenced calm, digniiiod and CON
sentative. We regard the Post as not
