a narrow escape Monday morning from
what might have proved a serious, if no
fatal accident. He went upon the roo
of his house to assist in Singing, whcr
he was seized with sudden faintness ant
rolled off onto the staging, where he wa:
providentially caught by the workmen
His illness is supposed to have been caus
ed by the fatigue incidental to constan
night service.

One evening last week, just after the
shades of darkness had curta1ned the
earth, q most thoroughly picked inebri-
ate was discovered lying OH the ground,
near the Davidson House barn, too far
gone to even protest against several vigo-
rous punches given to rouse him from his
senseless condition if possible. He was
too drunk to stand. and there he lay, in
his drunken stupor, whiskey bottle his
only companion. Poor fellow God
pity him And pity those too, who sold
him the vile poison that made him SO.
Last week Tuesday we had call
from n n Thompson, Of Campbell.

$3.50 per acre is now valued at $50. He
informs us that D. S. B. Mollison, an old
! settler of Austin, is boss workman on the
new courthouse at Breckenridge. Whcae
averages in Mr.. Thompson's section OF
the state, from 10 to Is bushels to the
acre, all No. hard.
The entertainment given at Jones
hall, last Wednesday evening, by the
ladies Of the library association, was one
of the best they have ever had presented

present enjoyed the program presented
exceedingly. The work of this associa-
ton in promoting the growth of health
fful literary taste by founding library
comprising only the gems of literature, is
one of the most important enterprises in
our city, and their efforts should be ell.
couraged by liberal patronage.
