No Danger.
We copy , the following from the
Gladiator. It is applicable to Bell'
ville in the main, industrious men
«re wanted in almost every town in
Texas, and none more so than in
Bellville:
From various parts of the North
people aro frequently writing to oiif
postmistress and to other persons,
wanting to know the price of land and
i provisional—the political situation—
':T the opening for Blacksmiths, Oarpen-
ters Carriage makers, Wagon makers,
Brick makers, Cabinet makers, and
Brick masons. To one and all we
reply -. 1st. To an honeBt, indust-
rious lian, who attends to his own
business, there ip no more dhnger of
personal harm, in Hunt county, than
? m hny of the 'Northern States. 2.
The - price of land can bo found by
' looking over the advertisements in
thlp paper—also the market price of
provisions, horses, mules, cattle, etc.
3d. Here in Greenville there is an
Opening for a good Cabinet maker, a
good Carriage makér^ ánd a Wagon
maker; Brick makers can sell all
¿hei¿ Work here for ready cash ifhy
day; one more good blatíksmith will
find an opening in fir town; a first-
k. A hnnt and shoe maker could build
Jllff
up a run of patronage here ¡ one good
tailor can get employment here. 4th.
We have no church, but two schools
in the village, and an Academy in
process of construction. To those
who know how and will work, our
ieetion presents many inducements;
the market is overstocked with men
.of leisure, Would-be. speculators, tra-
ders, and professional men. We need
industrious men and women, witto
hearts and willing hands to de-
the country. (Jóme on, all ye

fng in the World for people without

But to make her prosperity more
than -superficial, her moral and intel-
lectual development should keep pace
with her material growth, and in those
portions of our nation to which I have
referred the urgent ; and pressing
physical needs of-an almost impov-
erished people, must for some years
preclude them fronji making by un-
aided effort such advances in educa-
tion and such progessdn the diffusion
of knowledge among'.' all clessep. aqt
every lover of hia country must earn-
estly desire. . ; /
I, feel moBt deeply, therefore, that
it is the duty and privilege, óf the
more favored and wealthy portions of
our nation to assist those who are
less fortunate, and with the wish to
discharge, as far as 1 may be áble,
my own responsibility in this matter,
as well as to gratify my desire to aid
those by whom-I am bound by so
many ties of attachment and rogar^,
I give to you, gentlemen, most of"
whom ,have been my personal ánd
especial friends, the sum of $1,000-
000, to be by you, arid your succes-
sors, hel d in < trust, and the incotti'é
thereof used and, applied in yOut 'ius-
cretion, for the promotion and en-
couragement of intellectual, ritoral and
industrial education among the yoking
of the more destitute portions .of the
Southern and Southwestern States of
our Union*—my purpose being that
the benefit intended, shall be distri-
buted among the entire population,
without other, distinction that their
nteed and the opportunities of useful-
ness to them. j • * " w' v "
Besides tho income thuB devised,
I give to you permission, té usó Jrbih
the principal sura, within the next
two years, an amount not exceeding
forty per cent. " . ' • ■
In addition to tfiis gift,11 pkco in
your bands bondB of thd Statei' b|'
Mississippi, issued to' the Planter's
Bank j and commonly known,, as
"Planter's Banklionds," amounting,
with the interest, to ahbut $1,100,000,
the amount realized by you,' froai
which is to be addéd to and used ;fpf
the purpose of this trust. .,
The bonds were originally issued
in payment for stock in that bank,
held by the State, and amounted in
all to only $3,000,000. For many
years the State received liirge divi-
dends from that bank, over and above
the intorest on these bonds. The
State paid tho interest without inter-
ruption until 1840, since which no
interest has been paid, except a pay-
ment of about $100^000, which was
found in the treasury applicable to
the payment of the coupons, and paid
by a mandamus of the Supreme Court.
The validity of these bonds has nev-
er been questioned, and they must
not be confounded with another issue
of bonds made by the State.to the
Union Bank, the recongitioq of which
has been a subject of controversy
with a portion of the population of
Mississippi.

A young planter was Once ridiculed
by his neighbors for setting out what
they chose to call a " Cedar Swamp "
around his residence. They changed
'theiif seritiiriehtsa few yeai-s afterward
whea4h«y discovered that nearly one-
hálf Of the fuel, otherwise required,
waa s^ved by the shelter from bleak
winds which these evergreens afford-
ed ih wiriter, and that they were some-
tliipg mere than " only good to look-
' Geuttt ry residents may do much to-
wards cotnfort and e¿6homy by plant-
ing Strong growing evergreens on the
Another important use is in the
shelter, which may be given to Cattle^
yards ; and still another is to furnish
H supply of étergieen boughs for the
various purposes of protection, to be
used early ¿a winter. Every farm
should have, a small plantation for
this purpose, of which the limbs nlajr
be cut at regular intervals; These
boughs are tot only useful for cover-
ing ornamental shrubs and plants, but
strawberry beds and prostrated grape
vines and raspberries. They alsd
made an excellent covering for cab-
bages, placed in heaps and with about
'six or eight inches of the boughs laid
comp actly over them, with the tops
downward, so as to throw off the
water. This will present the rotting
so often caused by burying cabbage
in the common way,
I'be^reeent is a good time to plant
out these evergreens, where they can
be procured from the border orewamps
within a few miles diBtance. The
only csseritial precaution is to take
up plenty of soil on the roots, whether
frojeen or otherwise. If this is care-
fully attended to< they will all live.—
