ffW A young lady, of our county, of
undoubted talent and ability, has consented
to enliven the columns of the Citizen with
occasional contributions.
pT The Houston Telegraph says that
oat of fifty-four persons residing in Cypress
City, on'the railroad, thirty-three, inclu-
ding tbe doctor, were down sick with the
yellow fever. They sent to the Howard
Association in Houston for aid, which was
complied with. Three deaths are reported.
The place is in a deplorable condition.
David Tookk has just received a
lot of fresh groceries. See advertisement.
See advertisement of land for sale,
irs. Robson and Foard. The prop-
seem liberal enough, and, as our
circulates pretty extensively in the
r States, we call the attention of those
igrate to Texas to the terms,
TheSenier in a "Scrape."
Oscati Dalton, of the Crockett Printer,
is as humorous and in as buoyant spirits
as ever, and quotes the Citizen very often.
Well, Dalton, as you are always laughing
at the misfortunes of the- senior, we will
give you something th&t will make you
shake your sides:
On his late trip to the Montgomery
Barbecue (of which Judge Reagan felt
himself too nice to eat) our senior met |
with an accident, as usual. His two !
friends, Capt. Snefl of hotel notoriety, and
himself happened to arrive at Hempstead,
on their return from Montgomery, about
the time the chickens were crowing for
midnight. After their horses were taken
care^of, they put up at Capt. Snell's hotel,
and the Captain proceeded to stow them
away for the night. He put our senior in
a room, with a very comfortable double
bed with tjie extra rigging of a mesquito
bar, and his two friends in another room
in single beds, which were minus the extra
rigging. As the musquitoes " presented
their billa" pretty freely, the Captain pro-
posed a change in their domiciliation, by
which all three of his guests might have
the use of a musquito protector.
Our senior had already retired to bed to
dream of all he had seen and heard at old
Montgomery—Old Sam, the dinner, the
ball, stray garters, (that got loose dufing
the dance,) pretty women, «fee., «fee. He
was about to fall into one of those sweet,
dreamy slumbers which come only once
in a while and which are never forgotten,
when Capt. Snell informed him that, if he
bad no objections, he would put him in
another room and his two friends in his—

The Telegraph says the Howard
Association, at Houston, has received, from
the citizen# of Galveston, 1780 for the
relief of the destitute sick of the former
place. 1%e Association pays five dollars
per day for yellow fever nurses.

. JáP The celebrated Míss Eloisé Bridges
gave the good citizens of Columbus an
Entertainment on last evening. She was
gtntod by a good house, and met with an
enthusiastic reception. The Entertainment
«ras an intellectual feast of rare occurrence
in Texas. The lady is undoubtedly highly
gifted by nature, and has improved her
talent* by education and art. Her reading
is admirable. The intonations of her voice
are ticb, fu'l and perfect,, and her gesticu-
lation is elegant and extremeíy expressive.
* reading of *Sotbing to Wear," and
« Widow Bedott," cannot be beat. She
into the author's very meaning, and
elopes bis ideas in all their fullness and

a stngle objection to her admirable reading,
should say that she is almost loo the-
that is, most too artistic. The
pre wen delighted with her per-
formances. She expressed herself much
pleased with the citizens of Columbus, and
r regretted Jier stay could not be longer
among them.

Our. senior readily assented and arose,
and with his pants, 'hat and fig leaves in
hand-followed the Captain to the next
room, at the end of the building, and
walked in.. The room was illuminated by
a single star candle, and contained two
beds—one on the right as you went in,
and one immediately oposite on the other
side. As our senior entered, it was very
natural for him to glance at the premises
and see what he can see, end as he turned
his eyes he saw soire one in the couch on
the right, in the attitude of repose* but not
of sleep; for two soft gazelle eyes stated
him rather wondrously in >he face—white,
pale, sweet face beneath the musqui.to bar
and the dim light thrown over it by the
aforesaid illuminator, immediately caused
igns in our senior's sensori urn
nity'was mysteriously, tho'
voidly associated. Besides, the person's
dress looked more like a petticoat than any
garments the senior could think of to save
his life. The senior thought he could not
he mistaken, as the person was lyin* un-
covered for the-purpose of enjoying the
breeze, as the night was quite warm. But
Captain Snell bad put him in there, and
certainly the Captain knew what he was
doing; and the senior could come* to no
other conclusion but that the person in
question was a very nice yOung man, and
that his room-mate would be a most agree-
able and harmless individual.
Our senior proceeded to deposit his
hat, unmentionables, et cetera, and was
just in the act of turning into the opposite
couch when—oh, horrors!—a sweet, fem-
inine voice came from the person in ques-
tion : M Well, I 'spose I must occupy an-
other room!"
This was worse than a clap of thunder
in a clear sky. The senior wilted, and
felt the process of petrifaction fast taking
place in his mortal body 1 He thought,
" Well, here will be another 1 pillar of salt'
certain! " The only thing that saved him
was reaction, Reaction taking place,.the
senior mumbled out, M Capt. Snell, I pre-
sume, ma'am, was not aware any one was
in the room ! "
Just at this critical period Capt. Snell,
to our senior's great relief, made his ap-
pearance.
" I would prefer, Capt. Snell," said the
lady, (for it was iudeed a lady,) " not to
have strangers in my room."
" I beg yonr pardon, madam—I teg
your pardon," said the Captain, bowing.
" I have just returned from Montgomery,
and did not know the situation of things.
It was a mistake.! "
This quieted tho senior's foora mate,
and the Captain proceeded to light him to
another room. When they came out, the
senior with duds in hand, his two friends,
who were in the next room and who had
beard the difficulty,- were holding their
sides for fear of an explosion. The senior
at last found a place to sleep at. He
dreamed of barbecues, pretty women and
woman's rights all nighu

What can be Raised 111 Colora-
do Connty.
As many copies of the Citizen are pent
to the States, for the benefit of those who
may wish to immigrate to this region,
will here.give an idea of what may be
raised lrere.:
In the first place, Colorado county, as a
cotton county, is hard to beat. Her lands
will produce from a half to' two bales of
cotton per acre; and from thirty to eighty
bushels of corn per acre. Wheat does
finely in her prairie lands, of which she
has abundance in the Western portion of
the county. Oals and all small grain dó
well. Potatoes, pumpkins, water-melonsr
and such things -flourish. Early gardens
do well. Peaches and figs flourish here',
and we presume other fruits would do well.
Grapes would do well, 1 W- Have thousands
of jhe mustang and winter grapes in the
Colorado bottom. The finest wine is man-
ufactured troin the mustang grape. Cat-
tle, sheep, and horses do well in Colorado
county.
The climate is very changable, but very
healthy, and at time3 as pleasant as the
climate of Italy. Clearer skies and more
beautiful moon-Jight nights cannot be
found anywhere. Texas justly claims the
sweetest nights of all the world.
Colorado, upon the whole, is one of the
best counties in the State, and there is no
reason why she should not be one of the
mosl wealthy and flourishing.

The consensution is to be at the rate of

by the Mexican residents of that place.
The account is dated September 28th, and
says: ^
" Last night a crowd or banditti of men,
numbering fifty, entered this city, and com-
mitted the most inhuman and cold-blooded
murders on the persons of three American
citizens, and one of Mexican origin, that
was ever perpetrated on this frontier.
"The banditti entered the town on hor-
ses, and well armed. After having mur-
dered tbe above number it became daylight,
nearly, when assistance was asked from the
authorities of Matamoras. Immediately
came over some of the most influential cit-
izens of that place, through whom the
bandits were induced to retiré fróm the
town. In the mean time !he disposable,
force (militia) of Matamoras were ordered
to the bank of tbe river immediately oppo
site this place, to Cross tbe river, if neces-
sary, to protect the lives and property of
the citizens here. Finally, a truce was
made till night, when tbe aforesaid Mexi-
can gentlemen, Don Agopito Longario and
Don Miguel Tejerina, myself accompanying
them, went to their camp about eight
miles above this place, and after much
persuasion, induced the crowd to disperse.
They are made up of the dangerous class
