Other Notes.


For the past week this section
of country has been favored
with good rains and from the
back country it is reported that
an abundance of rain has fallen
in all directions.
The Rio Grande del Norte
has been on a rampage for sew
eral days, rising and falling
at will. Great apprehensions
are felt that we may have a
"spring rise In the event of
an overflow at present, great
damage wovld result to grow
ing crops. Some damage has
already resulted from the rise.
If not molested by a big rise in
the river, our farmers will with
out doubt harvest good crop.
The. big potato and onion
crops on Mr.. John Closner's
farm have been harvested,
yielding 400 bushels of pota-
toes, and 25O of onions, both of
a very fine quality, Yesterday
Mr.. c., dispatched one wagon
load of each to Bio Grande
City, and 1 am in 1ormed will
ship another lot to brownsville.
1t can now be said, after such
general and copious rains all
along the river, that the bot
tom lands will yield at least rs
bushels of corn per acre, and
other products in proportion.
The bean crop is being gather
ed and is enormous. Without
an overflow, the people on both
margins of the river will make
corn and beans enough for home
consumption and have some to
sell. There will be no necessi-
ty of importing these articles
this year at least. Melons and
pumpkins will go begging
more than can be used and
no hogs to help eat them.
Cattle are still in demand.
There are several buyers in the
county, and good prices are be-
ing realized for all classes.
Two or three days since Gre
gorio Chapa, a merchant at Ha-
