BAIRD, TEX, Sept 7.--Your cor
respondent at Mcrkel recently gave some
account OF the fish at the tank two or
three miles west of that station. On the
2lst day OF January, 1883, Maj d, Rich
ardson OF Baird, placed twenty-five Young
German carp In the pond He Informs
me that this pond was then new, aud had
no other fish IN lts waters. The Gsh
placed there had been hatchod at tbs
United States reservoirs at Washington
City the summer before. II would seem
these twenty-five fish produced tho vast
numbers reported TO have been taken
from this pond. Such ponds c0n bs
made at many points In The west, and
large supplies Of fish can be raised In
from three 10 four years. IL IN hardly
probable that the death OF the fish at
Merkcl tank was caused by the muddy
water flowing IN during the
heavy rain mentioned by your
correspondent, as the fish known 10 be
there were Of kind that naturally take
10 muddy water. There has been a heavy
congregation Of stock, and many families
camping there during the dry season and
the filth washed IN during the raln-stOrm
probably killed the fish.
Our Baird mineral well has gained quite
local reputation. There are numbers
Of our people now using this water and
cures Of cases Of sore eyes, rheumatism
and maluriOus diseases nre reported. few

quite grass is not like the common grasses
Of Central aud Southern Texas. II never
grows tail enough 20 NOV, but thick, or
dense short growth comes IN spring which
pastures the stock through the summer.
The grass cures during August, and
when September rains come and the heat
OF summer moderates IL grows again, and
even that which ~ partially cured grows
green again, thus giving ~ as great an
abundance Of feed for early winter as we
have during early summer.

away, the excitement has died out and
now the friends and opponents, respect
lively, of the hog-law question are mar
shaling their forces and preparing to meet

how the battle will terminate it is impoS-

The Mayors Veto Voted Down by the CITY
Council.
GALVESTON, Ten, Sept. AT a meet.
ing of the city council tonight, the
mayors veto disappearing the action OF
the council in granting the rlght-of-way
to the Gulf, Colorado 4 Santa lee and
Missouri Pacific railways, on Postonlce
street to cotton congresses, was unani-
mOusly voted down, which action OF the
council permits the railways to lay their
track ON the above street.
The mayors reason for vetoing the
ordinance giving the railroad companies
the right-of-way on said street was based
on the grounds that the council had
already granted the Light-ol-way
on Posto1lce street to the
Gulf City Street Railway company,
and this annulled that action. They could
not grant the right-oi-way on the same
street to steam railway, without mourning
expensive litigation on the part of the
street railway company to whom the
council had given Il prior right
of-way, and upon which they
were laying track. The street railway
company have already applied for writ
of Injunction restraining the steam rail
way companies from laying their track
on Postotllce street. 1t is thought by
some that the action of the council to-
might will make the city amenable in an
action for heavy damages on the part of
the Gulf City Street Railway company,
