SAD.-The death Of Uriah, son of
Henry and Mary Jane James, again
fills that household with GRIEF almost
unbearable; for Uriah is the third
child these parents have lost during
the last three years. While mount
ing a horse, for the purpose of riding
it TO water, he fell forward on the
horses withers, receiving internal in
juries. This occurred on the 18th
inst: he did not complain Of any par
ticulai pain--only a soreness on one
side the abdomen. On the Sunday
following he was able to be about,
and even went out to the barn with
some young friends who had called to
see him; and it is believed he then
caught o cold, which, inducing gan
creme, resulted in death. When ask
ed if "a physi clan had not better be
called" he always objected; and after
Saking cold the physician who was
called couldrender little service. for he
was slowly dying He died Thursday,
the 23d iust,, aged fifteen years. A
sympathizing community attended
the remains to Bethel church. where
Rev Brereton delivered 80 ap-
propriate sermon; after which the
body was taken to Ggaceland Gene

PROVISIONS.

Provisions continue very active In this city,
and the shipments are unprecedentedly large
for this season of the year. The high prices Of
beef cattle contribute greatly to the sales of the
hog products everywhere. and their influences
are felt even here in the great cattle state OF the
Union There is probably as much or more
meats and lard sold in this city than In any other
three or four of the largest cities in north Texas
and the demand here is gradually growing
Prices in Dallas are always maintaned.on a
parity With those In packing centres, and buy
ers are protected in Supplying their wants here
Prices are steady at the following quotations:

that there would be considerable falling of.

LIVE STOCK

RECEIPTS of cattle ut the stock yards are i'm

While the arrivals are not fully up to the dc.

shipments continue, but dealers often are com

predicted by those who are exporting to Eu-
rope that prices would recede about this tmo,
but, as yet, there IL no evidence of such result
and good cattle bring about the usual figures In
all northern markets. Mutton sheep are coming
IN quite freely anu those In the pens show an
improvement over those that were offered
few weeks ago. Spring lambs are not
