An Arm Amputated and An Eye Re-
moved.

Our readers. no doubt, remember hav-
ing read a fall account given in the REG
IsTER last November, Of the bursting OF
a railroad torpedo in the Campo, snort
distance beyond Grafton, which came
near proving fatal 10 young man named
Thomas Madden. For the benefit Of
the few who did not read the account
of the accident we will briefly state 1t.
1t seems that young Maddes had been
out Of camp, and upon his return he
noticed a railroad torpedo lying near the
track, and probably picked 1t up and was
examining it, when companion dared
him to throw it sgsinst an iron rail.
Not seeming TO realize the danger
he did as he was dared. The
result was an explosion which
lodged three pieces of glass in one Of his
eyes, and piece OF tin about an inch 10
length, and probably one-fourth Of an
inch in width, in his left arm about five
inches above the elbow JOINT. Two pieces
of the glass were taken out Of the eye,
shortly sitter the accident, but the third
at the time. An sneurlsm was caused by
and largest piece could not be removed
the piece of tin in his arm, and his life
was dispared Of. The arm became useless
and upon consulting surgeons, 1t was
deemed necessary TO remove the eye and
if possible to take the piece of tin from
the arm.
The young man came to this city last
Tuesday and went to the hospital, where
he remained Until Saturday evening, at
which time his eye was taken out and
his arm amputated. The operation was
very difficult one, but owing TO the
knowledge OF surgery, the operator was
enabled to do his work in a most skiIliul
manner. The young man was doing
we'll when last heard from.

TO BOnrals of Trustees of Free
schools OF Hays County.

The apportionment made by the
State amounting to only 81 A per
scholar, in consequence Of the appro.
priation by the Legislature only ex-
tending to December 31st, 1878, which
of course, only covers four months of
the present scholastic year, it is adj
vised that no schools, not already open
ed, be opened until after the first OF
January next. 1t is hoped that when
the Legislature meets, an appropria-
ton will be made to carry on the
schools for u further length of time
and if schools are opened before Jan.
LIST, il will be necessary to hold two
terms, should another appropriation
be made. But should the schools not
be opened until Jan. LIST, they will
then be able to continue their term un-
til the means shall be exhausted.
Schools that ale now opened will
probably be able to run but one month;
and no vouchers will be approved by
me, for more than the amount accredit.
ed to the community by which it is
drawn; and teachers who continue
their school longer than one month.
will do so at their own fisk, aud their
vouchers will only be approved by me
to the amount to the credit Of their
communities.

We referred las: week to visit to
the above locality which We were per-
mitted to make through the favor Of
Col. Sledge. the proprietor. 1t led us
to part of the county hitherto un
explored by US, equslled by few aud
surpassed by none, aud we enjoyed it
greatly. Alter leaving the Blauco, the
vast stretch OF prairie, OF the richest
soil, as shown by most luxuriant
crop of grass, which spread before us,
comprising thousands Of acres, consti-
tuted grand and inspiring prospect.
We found Col. SledRe's residence in
beautiful natural grove, in which the
springs are situated. They are per-
renuial, and afford an abundant sup
ply of pure water for man and beast,
and feed fish. pond below. The Col.
onel possesses princely estate sur
rounding his residence, consisting OF
5000 acres of first-class land, OF which
5000 are inclosed. His land is agree
ably diversified, and embraces a por-
ton OF the valley of Plum creek,
Of vast fertility. than which we have
seen no finer view in Texas or else
where. His range appeared to us
boundless.
Col. Sledge is a Mississippian, Of
wealthy and ,oorking family, but came
to Texas with only some $4,000. He
resided for some years on the Brazos.
and has been in this county only some
two or three years, and Of course has
only fairly begun to improve. Hepro
poses to enlarge and improve his stock
of horses. cattle. &C., and also to
farm extensively. He has now a SUI
perior cotton gin in operation. Con-
siderable travel at the North and else
where has removed all narrow preju-
dices from his mind. He informs us
that he finds intelligent labor much
the more profitable. He is a fine
specimen of what the psychologists
style the motive temperament. He
cannot b. still, aud plans and exc
cutes on a large scale. In short we
had DO idea that Major Nance, the
peaceful and patriarchal Napoleon of
the valley of the Blanco, had SO for
midable a rival in this county as we
found in the younger proprietor of Pc
can Springs.

never taken a local paper, and we
will venture to assert they will be de-
feated. No man who is not public
spirited enough to take his county
paper, or cares so little about the resi-
dents of his county that he has no desire
for local news, can expect to receive sup
port from the public. The only claim
any man possesses for public favor, is
that he has been q useful man, and
aided in public enterprises, and no
better assurance that an individual is
not such man can be found than in
the fact that he takes no paper and
cares nothing for the welfare Of his
neighbors.
We clip the above from the Steele
vile Mo. Mirror. We will add that
such candidates as hope to be elected
without regularly announcing their
names in the newspaper, are also rcck-
ouing without their host. Economy
is a good thing. but it will not do for
q candidate for Office to be penarious.
or try to ignore the public press.
