WHEN VIC note the fact that hot house
strawberries are selling in Now York now at
S6 per quart, the opening price having been
81 90, we wonder why in our mild and equi-
able climate there is not more ate nton paid
to raising berries and fruits for market, espe
cially for early markets. If they can raise
in hot houses in New York ana New Jersey,
fine, large delicious Strawberries, that sell in
January at from Sc TO 81 90 quart at

same way here in Texas and put on the
market early. in. December This harvest

sources of wealth, it occurs to US, that our

ON Tuesday evening, the 9Th
inst. we were startled by youngster
running by our office and shouting:
"Baby Walkers drowned" Rushing
to the river front, we saw a skiff,
bottom upward, floating down the
stream. Some parties from this side
went over in boat and, on righting
the skif, the hat of the poor little
unfortunate was found therein, to
gether with a lot of fishing tackle.
1t appears that the boy was engaged
in pulling up his "trot" line, and it
being caught by some obstruction in
the river, in trying to pull it loose
the line broke, and he was thrown
backward into the stream, the shock
completely upsetting the skif. AL
though several parties were near by,
they were unable to render any as.
sistauce, and Baby" went down to
rise corpse. TO his grief-stricken
and desolate mother, brothers and
sisters we tender our sincere sympa-
thies at their irreparable loss. May
the Heavenly Father comfort them
in this sad time Of affection.
The Torcblight Procession on
Friday night last, the first of the
kind since the Democratic days Of
Seymour and Blair, though hurried
ly gotten up by the gentlemen Of the
Pacific Fire Company, assisted by
few Of that noble band Of brothers,
the Stoaewalls, was an event of plea
sure, joy and mirth, long TO be re:
membered. They paraded through
the principal streets of our Town,
and were followed and cheered at al
most every corner BY hundreds Of
citizens. The transparencies, prin-
cipally made and designed by that
skilled artist and scene painter, Mr..
John C. Goulden, were tastefully
painted, admirable and the inscrip
lions thereon were TO the point
The perusal of them by outsiders,
was the cause Of laughter and merri
meut along The whole route. On this
occasion again he was the leader Of
the Alexandria Cornet band, which
furnished free the melody and soul
stirring music for this occasion.
There was not a single incident du-
ring the evening to mar the pleasure
Iof any one. The participants in this
affair can we'll feel proud of the glory
achieved, for tits principally to their
exertions and efforts that we owe
the glorious result of Monday last.
