the more enjoyed on that account. We
wish to express our special appreciation Of
the manner in which the Rum Maniac
was rendered by Mr.. Elmer Richardson.
It is quite difficult piece, yet we thought
it was remarkably well done. And then the
moral was most impressive, 80 as to make
its tendency decidedly good. That is O

selections of this kind.
| Judge Kone was called to Dripping
Springs on the 25th to hear the lunacy
cases of Mrs. Amanda Dickey and Mrs. O.
Henderson. They were alluded insane
and Mrs. Dickey admitted to the asylum
Mrs Henderson's admission is undecided
Mrs. Dickey is the wife Of respectable
resident of Walnut Springs, and the mother
of several children, the youngest only II
months old. She has been deranged for
two or three years, but became violent q
week or two since. The other, Mrs, Hen
derson is ninVty years of age and has been
for sometime supported by the county. 1t
is inexpressibly sad to chronicle such mis-
fortune as the above.

PROGRESS IN GINNING. Maj Nance has
added another 70 saw gin, making three
of that size; with capacity to gin bale in
twenty minutes. His blower, which ele-
Yates the cotton direct from the wagon out
side, is evidently great convenience for
his customers, and those who are exper-
fenced in the ginning of cotton. 1t adds
greatly towards the proper ginning, espe-
cially when the cotton is damp or very dir
ty, as it usually is after rains.
