To Subscribers.
gr Wewould remind many of our nb-
peribers that their subscription are over
Joe. Ware pleased to see that our, eireu-
{g inci easing, but, at the some tine,
we ought to haTe an increasing balance of
subscriptions, aa a set off against the
Hempstead Local*. —From «onto
to twnnkaowt^ oar locals of
Hoapstesd have failed for the past
two weeks. Hope they will be in
H**0 %0fm-
Improvements—A view of the east-
ern portion of Bellville will satisfy
anyone that considerable improve*
ments are being made by way of
adornihg the town. Fences are being
repaired and shade trees planted,
which are giving that portion of the
place quite a different appearance.
v ** i • •
A Town ta Danger.-—From the
McKinney J fessenger we learn that a
snit has been commenced in Fannin
County in favor of Nancy Ann Beck,
to recover the land npon} which the
town of McKinney stands. The
main facts are given in the Messen-
ger. The demurrer has been argued,
and the court holds the matter under
advigejneQt until next term.
P> tacking.—Bev. Mr. Mongea will
peach at the Court House next Sun-
lay.
The Jefferson Timet.—This is the
name of a new paper about to be
itarted'in the city of Jefferson, this
State, by B. W. Jyoughery, present
editor of the Marshall Republican.
. . It is needless for us to say that iny-
bU!' ¿HuIqdvS0" """tí*"* Loughery undertakes in the
newspaper line is bound to succeed,
thoogh we think he will find it a
difficult job "to run two saws" at the
same time. But Fomey ¿oes it and
why not Lougheiy 1
A Hat Found.—In walking over
the prairie south of Bellville, one day
tbia week, we found a hat, < sorter
squashed up," but seeing4no signs of
bullet holes in it, we did not pick it
np, but quiet let the old hat be. No-
body is missing in these parts.
The State University. — Some
weeks since we suggested, somewhat
jokingly, Bellvilla aa a proper place
for the Administrators of the State
University to visit, before making a
location of that institution. Since
then some^jpeople here suggested to
us, that the place Bhould be seriously
put in nomination { accordingly we
announce Bellville as a competitor
for the location of the University, and
invite communications upon the sub-
ject; A little effort on the part of the
enterprising citizens may secure this
valuable help to the canse of educa-
tion in thia county.
4 Seminary.—We are informed of
a project on foot to build a large sem-
inary or college in this place, with
several rooms for the use of four or
five professors. Iu such an institution
it is proposed that English, German,
Frejcb, Spanish, and other languages,
the ancient classics, mathematics and
belles-lettres, shall be taught. It is
stated that Professor Maetzo, of Mil-
beim, is willing to accept the Presi-
dency cf such an institution at this
jplaco. We hope the effort to be made
may be successful.
The Southern Cultivator. The
April number of this well known ag-
ricultural journal contains 48 pages—
34 of reading matter, mostly original.
It is embellished with a tasteful de-
sign and ground plan of a convenient
dwelling—the first of aseries. David
Dickson, the post successful planter
in Georgia, gives two communications,
which, with over thirty other original
articles, on topics pertaining to the
farm, garden and fireside—such as
cotton culture, manures, grasses, eorg
hum and other crops, sbeep, imple-
ments—grapes, peaches, vegetables —
a letter from Getnes Munro, &c., &c
fully sudtaip the reputation of this
valuable paper, which has been regu-
larly issued for pegfly twenjy-five
yepns.
Putrid Court.—The next
m Spring Term of the District Court
commences in this county on Mon-
day, the 6th day of May next: Judge
B. Shropshire presiding.
Rain.—On Sunday night last, and
for several daya since quite heavy

By reference to our new advertise-
ments it will be seen that Mr. Miller,
who formally resided in Bellville, has
pome to reside permanently with Us
again, baring associated himself in
business with Mr. . E. Lnhn.
