The weather is as pretty as
it can be. The days are not too
warm for the season of the year,
and the nights are refreshingly
pleasant. A man who could be

THE funeral Of Mr.. Goss last
Monday evening, was said to be
the largest ever seen in the city.
1t shows the esteem in which he
was held by those who knew
him. This must be a satisfac-

to his relatives here and in
Georgia, the State of his ma
tivity.
YESTERDAY afternoon the re-
mains OF Col. A. NJ. M. Up
shaw was followed to their rest
ing place-the city of the silent
by a large concourse of sin
cere mourners.
The burial ceremonies were
most impressively performed by
the combined masonic lodges
OF BRENNAN and Chappell Hill.
There was a considerable
number of colored people in the
procession. Most of them, we
believe, had formerly been his
slaves. The sorrow in which
their faces were shrouded, we
thought was more eloquent OF
the goodness ct the deceased,
than any Grafton ever pronounce
ed at the grave.

the character and escapades
of an often presented
and neglected class of every
community-'sthe boys No
one can read the book without
having many "reminiscences in

HORRIBLE MURDER.

| mostly residents of Austin colln'
ty, came to this city on Wednes-
day to see the show. Towards
night two Of them became quite
drunk, and one, a young man
named Ward, became noisy and
officer Doran was about to ar
rest him; when he saw Doran
coming towards him he put
spnrs to his horse and fled, lose
ing his hat near the Opera
House, which was afterwards
given to his friends. There was
a young German in the party
named Mailman, a very quiet
man; and who endeavored to get
the party to leave town and 60
home. His acts alone saved
the police the trouble of ar
resting others of the. party
who were drinking often at Mu-
ery's Saloon.
About ten o'clock, the report
came to town that Mailman had
been murdered and Ward had
been shot in the head. The
Sheriff summoned a posse and
with Justice Hynes went to the
spot where the corpse lay, which
was near the Giddings place on
the Bellville road, about one
mile from the city. The man
was found in the middle of the
road, having been shot from be
hind, and laying on his back
with his arms folded on his
breast. His throat had also
been cut with a sharp knife.
Those who saw the corpse
were Mortified at the cruel
murder. Ward being drunk,
fled, but he will probably
be found soon, when he may
throw some light on the horri-
bic mystery.
The coroners jury met yester-
day and made a further inves-
tigation, but could not corclued
it until the witness, Ward, is
found. Suspicion rests upon a
young man who was in the par
ty, but until the verdict Of the
coroners jury is given, we can
not charge any person with the
crime.
The crime causes much ex-
element and every effort will
be made to ferret out and bring
to punishment the perpetrator
Of this foul deed.
The Sheriff of Austin county
was here yesterday and will CO.
operate with Sheriff Hutchin-
son in detecting and arresting
the murderer.
This is the most horrible
murder ever committed in this
county and shocked the whole
community. The deceased has
parents residing in Austin coun-
ty, who are among its most res
pectable people; also relatives
IN theis city, and they have the
sympathies of all our people.

CoNscIENTIoUs.-One of our
farming tax payers, in giving in
his taxable property the other
day, insisted on giving in the
value of his ducks and chick
ems. The assessor objected that
it was not necessary-but the
farmer insisted that he was Civ

not think OF iieopardizing his
soul for a few ducks and chick.

nent member of the Bar O
this county, and formerly Dis
trict Attorney OF the counties
OF Washington, Fayette, Wal,
Ter and Lee, died at his resi-
dence in this city on Sunday
night after a few weeks illness.
His disease wss typhoid fever,
lie had been suffering for few
weeks past with rheumatism
but his friends did not appre-
bend any serious danger until
the fever set in. Mr.. Goss was
a native OF Georgia and had
been a citizen OF this State for a
few years past, having formerly
been a newspaper editor at Jet
terson, Texas.
His funeral took place yester-
day afternoon, a large number
of sorrowing friends followed

and burning them in due and
ancient form.
The members of the Bar AS
ISOLATION of this county met yes
terday and resolved to attend
the funeral, and passed a series
OF resolutions concerning the de-
ceased which will be published

and the people of Washington

proper to an unfortunate person
in her condition.

Williams issued yesterday a

the City. Assessor and Collector
to restrain him from collecting
the city tax for 1876 and to stop
the sale OF the real estate prop
.erty advertised for sale next
month. The ground of the in
junction is that the tax levy for
that year was illegal. The mo-
ton will be argured on Monday

Sayles Il Bsssett against.
When decided, We will give its

complaint against one OF the

was hauled up before Justice
Hynes and plead guilty and was
fined one dollar and costs. The
officers of Court then donated
their costs TO the defendant and
he went on his way rejoicing
Towards night. Hog having too
much tarrantula juice in his
bread basket, opened the
walls OF his wrath on a couple
of merchants, and one OF them
swore out warrant, and
the peeler was soon in hot pnr-
suit OF the defendent. but failed
to get him until next morning.
The matter was compromised
by the parties, and thereby the
city treasury failed to receive a
fine deposit.

who is this year cultivating thir-

Speaking of Stockdale reminds
us shat we heard wish express
ed when at the school house last
Sunday, that some of the Bren-
ham clergy would favor them
with q sermon OF Sabbath after
moons. By alternating, the 40
ditional labor on the clergy
would not be very heavy. But
as labor is never a question with
them, where they think they
can do good, we suppose that
the wishes of the community
will net be disregarded.
