A Misfortune.

One week ago Saturday, Col. Com
stock, accompanied by Mrs. Sterrett
Mrs. Swerdfger and Miss Blanche
Comstock, started for the Comstock
ranch on Sand creek. The same
party returned last night with the
gallant Colonel hors de combat. On
the second day out in endeavoring TO
surprise the festive prairie chicken In
its lair the Colonel met with a severe
fall, the effects Of which were not I'M
mediately noticed, but by the time
the ranch was reached his leg COM
menced to trouble him and In the be-
lief that his shin bone was fractured,
he was put to bed, where he remained
during the time the party was absent
This was severe disappointment TO
the Colonel, as he is the soul OF gal
lantly, and having two ladies COM
mltted 10 bis care, he had planned no
end Of trips and excursions for their
benefit. His injury, however, held
him close prisoner, while the ladies,
his guests. careered madly around the
country on the best Of homes, and en-
ioyed the freedom OF range life utterly
regardless Of complexion and other
adIuncts Of fashionable society. The
end Of the vacation was reached when
the Colonel became well enough to
drive to town. The full extent Of his
injury has not yet been determined,
but whatever IL may be, its most
dire effect was In depriving him Of the
opportunity 10 play the host instead
Of the patient during the ten days
Of absence nom the city.

THE DEATH OF CLINTON g. WELLS.
GALVESTON, Jan.2 n.26.-Clinton G. Wells,
president of the Galveston Cotton ex-
change, died at midnight Sunday night,
from an overdose of morphine, admin
istered through error. About noon on
Sunday, President Wella, feeling in
disposed, took what he supposed was
harmless dose of medicine, from the inn
mediate and alarming effects of which
he was soon forced to tho conclusion
that he had taken twenty grains of NOR
phine. Physicians were summoned
and prompt and active emetics admins
lstered, causing the stomach to be fully
emptied. From noon until 10 o'clock
tonight the physicians labored unre-
mittiugly. Az that hour some reaction
TOOK place and the patient gave hopes
OF living. ALL o'clock he rallied from
out OF q most profound lethargy and his
many friends crowded about The rooms,
entertaining each moment greater
hopes of his recovery from the fatal
drug. Toward midnight he again sank
INTO death.like coma, from which no
medical skill could arouse him, and at
quarter past midnight ho ceased breath
ing. The death OF President Wells,
thus cut down in the zenite of his use
fulnoss, will be felt by the business in
terests of Galveston. Deceased was 55
years Of age, native of Baltimore, and
came to this city thirty years ago. Be-
fore the war Mr.. Wells served a mer-
camille clerkship in this city, and
through his energy and business worth
rapidly climbed the mercantile ladder,
and after tho war, became a member of
the prominent firm of Wolsten, Wells d.
VidOr. Ho married daughter of the
late Thomas j. League, and leaves q
wife and several children to mourn his
loss. The deceased was the president of
the Cotton Exchange, the island City
Savings bank, and his name is besides
prominently connected as director
with many other of the leading business
corporations Of Galveston.

IT is estimated that our evaporating
factories put into circulation nearly
one hundred thousand dollars in our
immediate vicinity for peaches and
work. When it is considered by our
fruit growers they can see the inn
mense advantage gained by selling
their fruit to the factories. 1t is true
they may not get any more money for
the crop by so doing; but when the
fruit is worked up at home, it requires
labor to peel handle aud pack; it re-
quires boxes and box material; which
makes a demand for pine logs; il re-
quires nails to make boxes, and it uses
up all the soft and culled fruit. Tie
grower don't have to hurry to the
train. and at certain times can make
his work suit his convenience. This
is something for every fruit grower,
who has the interest of the community
at large in view, to consider.
