Correspondence Of the Herald.


KAUFMAN, TEXAS October 9th 1881.
Since the advent of the Texas Trunk rail
road to. kaufman, many encouraging signs
of improvement have appeared. A large
number of old houses have been recovered
and otherwise repaired. A half dozen sub
stantial residences have been erected
Among the new houses now going up, is q
two-story residence of w. II. T.
Nash, of the banking firm of Nash
& Carlisle. This building occupies
a commanding position east of town-will
have sixteen rooms, and when finished will
be one of the most tasty and elegant bull
dings in the county. Two brick houses are
under contract, and others will, doubtless,
follow soon.
In the way of business we have four dry
goods houses, five family groceries,
four retail groceries, one boot
shop, one silversmith, one barber
shop, two hotels, two restaurants, two
blacksmith shops, two wagonmakers, sew
eral carpenters, joiners, etc. 1t is scarcely
necessary to add that we are well supplied
with professional men, including lawyers,
doctors, ministers, land agents, etc. ] had
nearly OVERLOOKED our new bank
ing firm of Nash IL Carlisle,
of whom we are Justly proud
We have No / high school of
some hundred students, fourishing under
the charge of professors Allen and Cowles,
both wide awake and favorably known
educators. Our Spiritual wants are pro-
vided for in a Sabbath school and Divine
services are held every sabbath.
Upon the whole our people regard the
outlook as favorable.

DESIRED DEATH.

Mrs. Nellie simpson firing of Life, At
tempts to End Her Existence by Taking
Morphine, but Fails to Make Connection
Tired of treading the path she had cho'
sen in this life, Mrs. Nellie Simpson essayed
Monday evening TO terminate miserable
existence by taking ten grains of that dead
ly drug-morphine-an but for the prompt
arrival and action of physician, she would
have filed suicides grave. Mrs. Simpson
who is yet young woman of hardly eigh.
teen summers, was welded to her present
husband, John Simpson, last fall in Lead
vile, and the following December
they moved to this city, and since that time
he has followed float driving as an avoca-
ton. They reside in a tenement house,
No. 10l6, on South Main street. Mrs.
Simpsons mother was an actress and at
one time was q favorite on the boards OF
Leadville, and the daughters wild and
careless life is no doubt due to her early
training. Her besetting sin is strong drink,
and for several days prior to the rash at
tempt she had been considerably un;
der the influence ,S; OF oon SaisSS and AID
broods over her poverty, for she and her
husband are very poor. While in this
mood Monday evening, she purchased ten
grains of morphine, and taking it, lay
down on the bed to await the approach of
death. The attention Of some Of the female
inmates of the house was attracted to her,
and when questioned she confessed that
she had taken the drug with the avowed
purpose of terminating q misspent
fife. They gave her lot of
hot coffee and dispatched a
courier for DIR. r. w. Allen, who admins
tered antidotes, and by keeping up within
her what the medical fraternity term arti.
fetal respiration, the physician managed
TO bring her safely through, and when last
heard from, she was still improving.

The oyster Season.

The opening of the oyster season is
imminent and the papers are full of in
teresting statistics In reference to the
extent and possible growth of this trade.
There is no blessing fol-! which America
should be more grateful to Providence
than the oyster. 1t would be difficult
for us to supply Its place. For this rea-
son the oyster trade should be brought
within judicious and careful supervision.
On the coasts OF England ana France
a generation or two ago was plentiful
and apparently inexhaustible. Now ov-
sters are SO scarce that their price in En-
gland makes them luxury. If we 20
on from year to year exhaustipg our oy-
ster beds In the way we have been doing
for the last twenty years the oyster will
soon be as dear and as difficult to obtain
as In England. The subject should be
taken in hand by the government and
measures should be devised to prevent
such q misfortune IN the way of an oys-
ter famine as has fallen upon our friends
in England and France. This could be
done by judicious management without
interfering in any way with the present
supplies. What the government can do
is to prevent the wasting Of oyster de.
posits, which is apt to take place under
indlscrimlnate, needless management.

and timely value to the preliminary

not impart any new information. The
