Our Normal School.

After a ccessaoy intermission OF Q
week, we visited the school on yesterday
morning, and found that great progress
has been made. Prof. Baldwin inform
ed US that he now has very interesting
and improving school. Upwards Of 40
teachers are in attendance. We will
copy the list in our next issue.
The above facts afford a sufficient an
swer to diatribe against our branch OF
the school and our town, ia the San
Antonio Eucning Light Of the 9Th inst.

improvements.

Our friend John Eastman. who trav.
els about considerably, reports that not.
withstanding the dry times generally
the spirit of improvement is abroad in
Hays county, and several cotton gin
housas are being built, as follows:
Mr.. R. j. Slelge is constructing a gin
house at Pecan Springs, to be number
one in every respect,
Major Il. Nance has new, large gin
at Kyle, about completed. The build
ing has been covered by Mr., Eastman
with sheet iron roof.
Mcssrs. Rogers. MiIligan and Wilson,
of San Marcos, are building cotton
gin for Mr.. John Brown at Oyster Creek,
seven miles southwest of this place.
Mr.. T. II. Stone, near Martindale. 10
erecting a Clubhouse, 3Ox3O feet, two
stories high, for running two gins. Mr.,
8. is also constructing u FIRST rate dam
across the river, With 6v. rows Of piling
The dam will require 1000 feet Of lum
Der, and retain five feet OF water. The
cost of improvements will be $1,000.
Tho above facts show that leading
farmers and ginners are expecting acrop
of cotton, rain or no rain.

Homes Of Recovery.

1t is encouraging to state that Mike
O'Counor, who WAS so severely wounded
last week is considered to Re much bet
ter and sanguino hopes are entertained
of his recovery He was taken down
to the house on triek, and for time
bled profuscly from the cut on the left
side, which was nearly four inches deep.
After that he seemed relieved. Fearing
death, the Rev. Father Spillard came to
visit him: also Mr.. O'Connor, father Of
the young man, was here and remained
until Sunday. Much sympathy is ex
pressed for Mike. who is esteemed BY all
who know bin. Severcst censure is also
passed upon the colored boy, who for $
playful set attempted to take the life
Of promising young man.

New Grain.

It's to be regretted that farmers did
not have n greater breadth of grain this
season as both oats and wheat arc turn.
ing out fine crops. which are still being
threshed. Mr.. Giesen is buying quite
extensively in grain, and has already
some seven hundred bushels of wheat
in store, and has handled ten car loads
of oats. The ruling price of wheat is
81 90 to sl.1O per bushel; oats are 30
to 80 cents.
1t is estimated that about 1000
bushels of wheat will De bought at San
Marcos this season. The amount would
be much larger. but that owing to the
shortened corn crop, planters will hold
a heavy reserve for feed and seed. The
following persons may mentioned as hav'
ing raised successful crops Of grain this
season: Mr.. WarnkeD on the Blanco,
had 500 bushels; Mr.. Patterson claims
to take the palm tor harvesting the high
est amount per acre, namely twenty FIVE
bushels per acre. Geo T. McGehec, it is
said, had four thousand bushels Of oats.
Mr.. Cocreham had four hundred, aud
Mr.. Pieiffer. two hundred bushels Of
wheat. Many other names might be
msutioued. Although some years un-
certain,ies attend the grain crops, there
is no doubt that more attention to .msll
grain, aud less to cotton would be fully
as profitable to planter. in southwestern
Texas.

but at the same time it is matter of pleas
ure to the party, whose representive he is.
The Chicago Times draws the parallel;
'Chicagoans who remember the passing
of the Lincoln cortege through Chicago
NAV remember the funeral procession as it
wended its way through Lake street.
What was then the leading thoroughfare of
Chicago was densely packed with people,
all of whom testified by their profound
silence their appreciation of the solemnity
of the occasion. The scene was marked
by one extraordinary incident. The col
umn was led by General Hooker, mounted
upon horseback. Vanity was marked
trait in this dashing and eccentric warrior,
and that, or, as some of the charitable
opined, the extra strength of matutinal
swallow, induced him to bow to the throng
right and left as though the assembling
were in his honor On the Garfield funeral
train from Washington, General Hancock
was found among the mourners. Unrea-
sonable and ridiculous persons at various
stopping places insisted that he should
show himself to the curious multitudes
who had been brought together. His re-
ply was that there were two generals OF
the army on board outranking him, and,
at any rate, such an exhibition would be
out of place"
