Correspondence of the Herald.
RoCKwALL, March 3, 1880.
Friday evening, for the first time since last
May, the kind windows of the clouds were
opened over this spot of the moral vineyard
and the very foodgates set ajar, and such a
rain rs we have long needle came to supply
the cisterns, tanks and crops, and Saturday
night Boreas came sw eping DER hill and
dale, playing sad havoc with young and ten
der plants, but thanks for the fact that fruit
blooms arc set back nearly a month.-Sat-
urday and Sunday was the time set for the
meeting of tho elders and dsacons' conven.
ton of the Missionary Baptist church in
East Fork association at this place, but owing
to the inclemency of the weather very few
were present mot quorum. Elder Mans
field, from Farmersville, preached an able
and practicable sermon on Sunday, to a
small audicnce.-Last week Alex. Nc
Creary, an old citizen of this county, died
from pneumonia, and was buried in the
NJ. E. cemetery, at Mt Zion church.
Rev. j. A. Rornbeak, the young and talented
pastor of the Cumberland Presbyterian church
at this place, is spending a week with his sister
Dallas Last Saturday night courier in
arrived with intelligence of the. arrest at
Plano of F. G. Cranley, the man who stole
B. f. Bowles' stallion and several other fine
animals in this community, who was ar.
rested on the photo and circular sent out by
Sheriff Austin. Witnesses lost no time il
going over to identify the prisoner, who
proved to be almost a fac-simile but not the
man. The fellow, on comparing his image
in the mirror with the photograph of the
thief, concluded that the best thing he could
do would be to go home and stay there.

Afflicted France.

From special cable dispatch our
readers will learn to-day that the terrible
i"13, Is, IA" puzzle has made its way
across the ocean. and is at present bewil-
dering the wits of Parisians in much the
manner that was so fatal to New York a
short time ago. There'can be no doubt
as to the country from which the infec-
ton was conveyed to France, so q series
of diplomatic notes il within the posi-
bilities of the coming fortnight, and Mr..
Evarts may have his first opportunity to
offer an apology from the United States
to foreign Government. Whether a
mere apology will be sufficient, however,
is yet to be learned. Nations have de-
clared war fer smaller reason. than the
introduction by anchor people Of causes
of distraction and torment, and French
fleet may vet be sent to the Potomac to
demand satisfaction. A blockade of all
the United States Is as small penalty as
we have right to expect under the cir
cumstances, and as slight measure Of
take. What course the malady will fol-
low as 1t spreads--and spread II must
II impossible 10 predict; but Germany
can hardly escape, no matter how stern
ly Bismarck may force repressive pro-
ceedings. Once across Germany and
into Russia, however, the puzzle will be
a blessing in disguise, for even Nihilists
must give up all ordinary work when
subjected to such an influence. But for
France alone the American heart will mt
present concern itself; our sad national
experience with the same trouble makes
1t impossible to think of coming dis
patches without shudder. ~. Y. Herald.
