Texas.

There seems To be qnite fever in this section
to rush off to Texas. Already great many from
this county have gone and are now in the Lone
Star State, and next week we hear an other party
will start. Several of our Ottawa men are there
who send hack cheering views of the state as
they see it One well known gentleman, writing
on the 18Th Of December, from Waco, sends this
tantaziug morsel for the ediication of his
friends who read it leani against II red no,
stove while the boys are gone for more coal
"Here I'm In this land of promise. Today al
III o'clock, the thermometer stood Mt 70 above
zero in the shade" Waco, he says, is a very
pleasantly situated city, well built up, and very
busy, full OF teams-so full that one must wait
his chance to cross the street,-al loaded with
cotton. Land sells, about Waco for from s. to
$50 per 1cre--very high but the tide of mmgra-
ton low ing in, he says, is wonderful. "One Hi
Dois farmer told me he had raised So bushels OF
corn to the acre as good as any he ever raised in
Illinois. Another said be had raised ~ bushels
Of corn and one bale of cotton to the acre, and
that it Is rs easy to raise cotton here Us corn in
Illinois" The land is a very deep black loan,
some good, some bad; some timber, but there d G
mos. magnificent prairies. He didn't say whether
Ae had been bulldozed or not-no doubt he had
OR he would have mentioned it, Those having
Texas in their minds eye will no doubt be pleas
ed, but don't 30 there expecting to find it an FL
Dorado or new Philosophers Stone-a fellow,

it did, on Saturday morning, in his death. The
boys were engaged IN the sport at the foot OF
Clay street, sliding down to the river The
passage over tie ditch formed by the rayine of
former days which is kept open and deep by each

was picked up nsensbe and carried to his home
On Illinois avenue, where, Notwithstanding all
medical aid, ne died Of conclusion of the brain
early next morning. The funeral, which took
place on Sunday afternoon, was very impressive
and was attended by large assembly of the
friends Cd the deceased and his bereavcd parents.
The boy was about Is years old, bright, intelli
