revenue only is If use t. the school
children Of the State. The principal,

might better be in lands unsnld, for
then it would need neither vault nor

held bonds as securities. 1t has for
years held State and National bonds,
and drawn interest thereon. 1t must
do this, or be useless to the schools. Is
not Nevada as able to pay or 5 per |

that its bonds be held at home than

The Boy and the Bees.

From tho advance sheet of the History of nevada
Deborah Dobson, the good old grand
dame sojourned at the house of Dobson,
her son. Her fair haired grandchiId
Benjamin, was sportive youth, clam
boring the fences oftimes and rover
in the fields. BY reason of this the
rents in his troWsers gaped continuous
~.
"By the faith of my forefathers,"
quoth Dob. one day, "These rents in
the hinder parts of the child's apparel
are most uncomely in the sight Of men,
calling to mind the postal system of my
country"
~ will patch the same, good son."
quoth Deborah, "although the color of
yellow harmonizeth not with the hue
of the blue jeans"
ono more does the white cotton

Ing in the wind which the Lord tenn
pers to the shOrn lamb, but not " Ben
jamtn, my boy"
"Hie thee my child to the attic where
hangeth another pair of trowsers and
put them on while mend those thou
now wearest."
After the good dame had spoken,
Benjamin fastened to the attic and put
on the pants which had hung there two
seasons; and behold, nest Of humble
bees had made their habitatiOn therein.
But the youth wot not of the pre-
emption. But going down stairs he
cried aloud and called upon profane
gods; and reaching the lower floor he
took off his clothes, not after the man.

"The evil spirits devour him." said
Deborah.
And the bees, to the number of sixty

truth is a jewel-atta ked the grand

FAETHEUL Dogs.
rhey Cling to the .suins OF the Old
Home.

A remarkable case Of fidelity in dogs
can be witnessed by visiting the ruins
of Mr.. Duffy's residence, which was
destroyed by fire last week. There is
nothing left of the place now but heap
of ashes and a few blackened and with
cred trees. In front of the house, and
lying on the ground, can I've seen three
dogs, spaniel and two greyhounds.
They have remained there ever since
the fire, which WAS last Saturday, and
cannot be coaXeu away. They are
nearly deld with starvation, and 80
weak that they can scarcely drag their
gaunt bodies about. They simply lie
on the ground with their heads turned
toward the spot where they We're fed
and petted for years, finding, no doubt,
hard to realize what has happened.
When people pass the dogs shiver with
fright, and at midnight howl piteously.

THE AD.nAnAATY CASE.
The Libellant Gets in His Side YESTERDAY

Yesterday in the u. s. District Court
the case Of Avery VS.. hawthorne, came
up. Avery, the libelant, brought suit
to recover possession of the "Stanford,'
il steamboat on Lake Bigler. The tes-
timony showed that Hawthorne, acting,
as he claims, as the agent Of Lapham,
took possession of the craft in the night,
when it Was unOccupied except by a
Chinaman. Next morning Avery's
party came to recover possession, but
were met with revolvers and shOtguns
and elected from the boat, some of them
receiving bodily injuries in the fracas.
1t is claimed that Hawthorne had
writ of attachment on certain monies in
Avery's hands due Lapham, but no
authority to seize the boat. Haw-
thorn's side Of the case will be heard to-
day.

Owing to the extreme bad
weather farmers are likely to be
late pitching their crops in 1851,
it is one day bad weather and
FIVE or six worse, but good days
are like angels visits, but few
and far between.
A considerable amount of
lands have changed hands in
this part of the county atprices
ranging from ten to twenty
dollars per acre, according to
quality..and amount of improve
ments. A quantity of unim-
proved land is being fenced and
prepared for cultivation in this
vicinity, which argues well for
the energetic farmers around
Greenvine.
Owing to sickness, bad
weather and scarcity of hands
during the fall and winter sea-
sons, planters have been I'M
usually late gathering their
crops of last year; there is a
good deal of cotton on some
farms yet to gather. The wri-
ter has observed many years
ago, the planters in north Ala
bama, using slave labor, plant
ing oats and corn in one portion
of the farm, with a part of their
hands, and the balance picking
cotton in another part of the
same farm; it looks very much
like that would be the case in
Texas, this year, except in
place of slave labor they now
use free labor. A thing that
we have never Witnessed in
western Texas, and we have
seen 81 crops TdlSed III wash

sowing oats and planting gar
dens. There is d scarcity of

The Courthouse Question.

We are sorry to learn that
there is some opposition to the
project Of building a new court
house in Brenham, in the
eastern end of the county. They
claiming that taxation is already
too high. The taxes have nee
essarily been high for the past
few years in order to pay the
county out OF debt. Happily
under the management of the
commissioners court for the
past two years the indebted
ness has been entirely discharg-
ed and the county now has a
surplus, over and above her
indebtedness, of SI2,SSo 81.
The assessment Of the taxable
wealth Of the county for 1881
will be about 100000; a tax
of ten cents on the 500 will
yield $4,000 yearly, and 1t may
be that the commissioners, at
their next regular term, will be
able to reduce the rate of taxa
ton for county purposes. 1t is
generally admitted that new
courthouse is an absolute neces-
sity; the present building has
been in use for twenty-five years
and is too small and entirely
unified for the purpose. 1t
has lived its day and filled its
purpose, and in addition to that
the entire records of the coun-
ty are at the mercy of the
flames.
1t is by no means a settled
fact that the building of new
courthouse will be undertaken
by the present commissioners,
this matter has not, SO far as we
are advised, been discussed of
ficially at any of the meetings
of the court. The BANNER IS
not an advocate of high taxes,
neither has it an axe to grind in
the new building, but at the
same time it regards a new
building as a necessity, and de-
ferring the putting of it up as
penny-wise and pound-foolish
policy.
