We have attended the burial of A.

three hundred persons at the grave.
He was q member of the Cumberland

TrIp TO the Mon ntalns.

On Wednesday. under the guidance
of our distinguished oolored fellow
citizen, Neel Walker, we took long
and rough ride into the mountain re-
gions ia the interesting business Of
horse. hunting. We did not find the
''delectable mountains" we read of in
Pilgrims Progress, but the monotony
was varied by some fertile valleys and
fine scenery.
Spico-wood Spring, a. narrow gulch,
we'll timbered with all the varieties con .
mon to this country is an interesting
place.
But at Dauche's Spring, q similar
mountain gorge. but on much grand
er scale, the scenery verges upon the
sublime. For several hundred yards
a regular perpendicular precipice rises
more than hundred feet above the
chasm below. Stones hurled over the
side took some minutes in reaching
the bottom. We have not seen any.
thing grander in Texas.
The so:called Springs" we found
pretty much dry. The most water we
saw was in the "Sour Pond" which
contained considerable, although there
was no apparent reason why itshould.
If cleaned out it strikes us it might
make an invaluable reservoir.
The elements of a fine stock country
we're everywhere present on our route,
and we have no doubt this part OF
Hays county is destined to be utilized
to vastly greater extent than it has
vet been.
We saw the focks Of sheep Of
Messrs. Molar and Gullett, which
looked very we'll. and multitudes Of
horses, but not the one we were seeking.

PHILoMENE's MARRIAGE is . story
of French lite, for advanced leaves of
which we are indebted to the popular
publishers, T. B. Peterson & Bros,
Philadelphia. We have read these
pages with much interest, and infer
that the story is a charming one. 1t
is comedy of life, full of cleyerness
and wit. There is q peculiar charm
about French story writers, of which
the authoress, Henry Greville, offers
in this work fine illustration.

EDITOR FREE PREss:-Haviug
heard il circulated that there would
DO an entertainment at the college,
on Friday night last, and having been
80 we'll entertained on previous occa.
siops, we were among tho number who
were ready to leave everything and
hasten to the mount Of knowledge.
We arrived in good time. and very
fortunately, obtained comfortable
seat from which We had full Wow Of
the stage, ornamented not by the dead
limitations Of art, but by living beauties.
We soon found that the entertain
ment was under the control of the
Amasavourian Society, recently
organized by the young ladies OF
Coronal Institute. The society was
seated on the stage, and We must say
that it was On attractive part of the
room. All eyes were turned in that
direction, many, no doub., endeavoring
to single out his After prayer,
pointed addresses from tho President
and Vice. President were listened to
with marked attention. Very soon
"Nusio arose with lie voluptuous swell,
And all went merry as marriage bell"
Those little visitors did splendidly.
They are certainly learning the dispo.
sihon Of their mothers very early.
One of the most interesting features OF
the evening was the reading Of the
aurora" = spicy sheet edited by the
young ladies. We would suppose from
it's general contents that it was issued
principally to avenge spelling matohs
We heard spelling match read out
several times and were informed that
it was one that took place some time
since, between the female and male
departments of the school. The re-
suit Of the match was not an
nouuced; we suppose, Of course, the
young ladies were victorious, but too
modest to mention it. The correspon-
dent that so longingly wishes for socia-
bic young men would do we'll to in
port about forty-eleven dozen to sup
ply the increasing demand in the gen.
eral market. That thsy are in con.
slant demand would appear from the
reminding of Mr.. Briggs to employ an
other single clerk, as he has married
off the last one he had lett. We lis
tened attentively to the remainder Of
the exercises, and were perfectly de.
lighted with the whole. Columbia's
party was charming-especially the
characters. As we gazed upon the
living representations Of the various
States we were indeed charmed and
ready to exclaim:
''Fram d to give Joy, the lovely sex are seen;
Beautcous their form and heavenly in their mien."
The young ladies deserve much
credit for the splendid entertainment
they gave us. As to a repetition of q
like treat, we say do US that way when
ever you feel disposed. BEN.

A Dogs Implacable Hatred.

Among some "reminiscences of dogs.
given by writer in Forest aud Stream
the following appears: In nv early
youth ] recall dog owned by my
grandfather who afforded AN instance
Of a temper rcsentful and implacable.
Marquis was half hound. half mastifT as
we believed, but we only knew her
mother. and she was fair type Of the
wcll-bred southern hound. lie grew
larger, heavier and handsomeT than the
average hound is with us. and was so
fierce that he had TO be chain 4 au ing
the day. Once n cousin and | were
amusing ourselves with our bows and
arrows about the yard. both Of us about
six or seven years old. In fun / pro-
posed &C. have n shot at Marquis. who
was chained about twenty yards Off.
Cousin John was wiser than I, and
would not shoot but let fly an arrow,
which only grazed. and surely did not
hurt him. He flew at me. and break
ing loose. would doubtless have handled
me roughly lad not darted up the pi-
aZza steps, and thus escaped his rage.
Months elapsed ere saw this dog again,
and then 1t was Mt our summer house, a
seaside village twenty miles away from
whore i had shot at him. ! tried in
vain to overcome his animosity TO me
by feeding him twice n dav. II was
agreed. in fact. that no one else should
feed him while | remained. lie would
not attempt to .molest me till he had
done his breakfast or dinner, and then
only the length Of his chain limited his
angry spring at me. He seemed 10 love
and respect my grandfather. father, sis
ter and cousin, and the butler and
coachman; the other members Of the
household. white and black. he toler-
ated but me he hated to the bitter end.
Six years after my childish insult to him
he would gladly have torn me to pieces.
II opportunity had offered. When the
tidiHgs of Marquis death were brought,
believe me. ] reioiced that he had been
gathered TO his fathers.
