cure, no pay.'' hp administered his " S. Specific,"
and in a few weeks I felt bound to pay him out of
the county treasury, as he had effected a complete
mnd radical cure, __ A- s- WILES,

The S. S. S. Is giving good satisfaction. One gen-
tleman who had been confined to his bed six weeks

The provision market continues firm, with a
good inquiry, and stocks in jobbers' hands
&uch reduced. Bacon and hog products gen-
erally are gaining in strength, and there ap-
pears to be more confidence expressed in the
future.
Flour was quiet to-dajr, and western mar-
kets again showed weakness. Wheat closed
Kc. lower at Chicago.
Trade generally was quiet, but orders are
increasing and some of the wholesale houses
were quite busy.
Sugars and coffee are unchanged, and both
are moving slowly.
In the hide market, receipts were more free,
and prices were well maintained. Wool, on
the contrary, is stagnant, with a few parcels
changing hands at previou^ prices, and some
transactions pending at the close. Buyers are
indifferent. There does not, however, appear
to be such timidity about bidding, and the be-
lief is gaining ground that the downward ten-
dency has expended itself.
Cotton sold more freely to-day on better
markets at Hew York and Liverpool, but there
was nothing to indicate anything more than
faith in the present range of values.

the overland movement OF cotton.
The national cotton exchange report, giv-
ing the figures of the season, from September
to April 30, appeared on 'change yesterday.
It gives the following information:
The overland shipments to mills for April
show a continuance of the rapid decrease,
month by month, since January, and tbe ex-
cess over last year in the total since Septem-
l>er 1st, is now reduced to 81,570 bales, k fail-
ing off for the month, compared with April.
1S79, of 31,923 bales.
Northern mills jhave entered the markets
sparingly, their April takmzs from the ports
amounting to only 45,'.»:J1 bales, and from
ports and overland combined to *55.805. The
result has been to reduce the average Veekly
deliveries since the commencement of the sea-
son to oD,(>79 bales against 34,^458 last year, and
2^,044 the year before. At the close of March
these averages stood respectively 4:;, 104, 34.200
and 31,321.
The aggregate deliveries to northern mills
to the CiOse of April (eight months) foot up
3045 bales more than those for the entire
twelve months of 187K-9, and exceed those for
the entire season oi 1^77-8, 32,776 bales.
The excess for tbe eight months over the
corresponding period of last season is lS8,lt>3.
a wool circular.
Walter Brown & Co., of New York, in their
monthly, having reviewed the market, con
lode as follows:
Should this dullness continue some weeks
longer, it will probably have a beneficial effect
upon the trads of the coming summer, in pre
venting the undue excitement which so fre-
quently occurs when the new wools are mar-
keted, and enable both local operators and
eastern dealers to purchase wools with a
prospect of making a fair profit on their in
vestment.
It is impossible to predict with any certainty
the course of the market for the next few
months. It would seem that with prices so
high abroad, with the mills at home running
full time, and with very light stocks of domes
tic wools in the hauds of dealers, that prices
ought to be fully maintained; nevertheless,
during the past month we find the demand for
the raw material decidedly checked, transac-
tions comparatively very small and values un
settled, almost diametrically the opposite of
what might be expected. It is probably for-
tunate that such is the case, and that during
the next few weeks we may look for wools to
find their proper level at a point where it will
be a safe investment for all interested. In the
absence of sales of many varieties of wool
quotations are necessarily nominal to a certaiu
extent.
Our advice to those in the interior who ex-
pect to operate in wools this season, is that
they act with caution, make careful selections,
avoid any excitement, anu keep thoroughly
posted as to the course of the trade in eastern
markets.
miscellaneous markets.
Boston, May 8.—The wool market contin-
ues in an unsatisfactory condition, with a fur-
ther downward tendenc\r in prices.
There has been more doing in hides, and
prices are on a firmer basis. Leather has re-
covered some strength, with more confidence
on the part of buyers.
Metals have been tending downward, and
the only favorable feature is the belief that
prices have touched bottom.
Iron has been particularly depressed, but
there is more inquiry, at the iow prices, and
a change for the better is near at hand.
The shoe trade, like all other branches, has
experienced a slight reaction, and it will take
& little time to restore life and activity.
There is no demand for domestic bagging,
and prices are nominal. "VVe quote 10c, 11c
and ll%c for the different weights.
There has been a very dull market for
English chemicals, with a shrinking tendency
in prices, but no large sales to base quotations
upon. Prime caustic brands soda ash have
bet offering at $1 80, and carbonated brands
at $1 87}oC?l 90, in large Jots from wharf, with
very few sales.
Nails are steady at $4 25 per keg for lOd to
60i. with a discount of 10c per keg on trade lots.
Old metals are very dull and prices of all
kinds are quoted lower, but in the absence of
sales no reliable list can be given. For scrap
iron l}£c per pound is an outside price, and
hard to sell at that.
There has been a moderate demand for cerd-
age. and prices are steady at 13 ^c for Ameri-
can^ Jfor Manila, and 13^ 14c for
Sisal rope.
New York, May s—The Bulletin says:
In the suspended state of negotiations it is im-
possible to arrive at any real basis of valua-
tion for coifee, and figures are simply nominal,
representing nothing better than a possible
asking rate. Some of trade have been dis-
cussing the propriety of making an offering at
auction as the only means of getting a test of
values.
Tin Plate—There has been a lively trade in
cokes, transactions during the week footing
up, it is alleged, 40,000 to 50.000 boxes at 5 121./
(£5 371„. t rom abroad an advance to 17s t>d(gi
18s is cabled, and at the close to-day holders
were asking 5 62V.;, (d5 75. Charcoal tins and
ternes remain very quiet, however, with no
improvement whatever in values.
There has been a further drop in price of
pig lead, and in the absence of any disposition
to buy exteusivelv at the decline, "it would not
seem out of place to venture the assertion that
lower prices yet will prove necessary in case
of any attempt to hurry sales. Por the present
we quote 5c nominally on common, and 5l£c
on refined.
The Bulletin of the 8th, speaking of the
breadstuff's market, says: There is apprehen-
sion felt that the wheat clique will attempt to
corner the market here or in Chicago before
the new crop. Some fear it in May and others
in June. Tbe latter month appears more
probable from the relative prices of May and
June, which difference of 4c per bushel is un-
usual, May being usually the lower month on
the opening of the canal." This would seem to
indicate that those who control the market are
selling May and buying June.
The supply of sirups has been full enough
for all demands, which are moderate and un-
certain. a d on prices the turn is in buyers' fa-
vor, with ruling figures a trifle nominal. Su-
gar-house molasses has a dull market and ap-
parently no great strength on values.

Teas are weak and unsettled and general de-
mand held in check by the public sale®. We
note 900 Formosa. The auction resulted in the
sale of a large proportion of the offering, but
the Formosas were below last week's sale and
the Congous about the same as at the recent
decline.
The general market for manufactured iron
is more demoralized than ever. Western manu-
facturers nave reduced their prices to the basis
of 2>£c. for common merchant bar. In the
local market there is a very sharp competition
between foreign and domestic makes, all tend-
ing to greatly unsettle values. Not even half-
way reliable quotations can be given at the
moment.
Scrap iron remains in a demoralized state
and even in 100-ton lots can not be sold at any-
thing near holders' figures. The supply is
enormous, while its variety is such as to indi-
cate that exporters abroad consider anything
good enougn to ship to this country as No. 1
wrought.
Hides—There is about the same fair degree
of spirit to demand that has been shown the
past two or three days, but as yet tanners are
not taking any extensive lots of stock. Values
are about as quoted as heretofore, with the un-
dertone of the market pretty firm.
Domestic bagging seems to hold pretty firm,
though southern orders are not as yet coming
to hand freely. We quote at 10(g)lOj^c. for 1%
pound; I0>a<&llc. for 2 pound,, and llj^c. for
2 ^4 pound.

The wagons are drawn by ten mules each.
Each wagon is loaded with seven thousand
Dounds of machinery, the property of j. k,

first of the month Wednesday two child-
ren, aged seven and t*vo vears old, the sons of
Thomas Morine. who resides on the Castroville
road, were playing with a loaded rifle, when
the rifle exploded and the contents passed
through the right side of the little two-year
old aud lodged under the right shoulder blade.
Dr. Amos Graves pronounces the wound ser-
ous and the sight most heart-rending. The
rifle w as loaded with shot, and the doctor ex-
tracted thirty-five of the small leaden messen-
gers, including the wadding, on the opposite
side from where it had entered. The entire
load was discovered bunched just under the
right shoulder blade. The life of the child is
despaired of.

COOKE.
Pilot Point Post: a man by the name of
t. T. Campbell committed suicide Wednesday
evening, two miles north of Pilot Point, Cooke
county, by drowning himself in the Isle \lu
Bois creek. Wednesday evening he started
oif toward the creek, half a mile distant, tell-
ing his little boy if he followed him he would
beat him severely. The alarm was given: the
"neighbors went in pursuit, and on arriving at
a deep hole in the creek, his hat, containing
his pocket-book and knife, was found on the
bank: it being after sundown, no further
search was made until morning. The neigh-
bors gathered next morning, and, alter several
efforts, he was brought ashore.
CAMERON.
Brownsville Democrat: The Rev. Dr. Blum,
of Galveston, delivered a most interesting lec
ture on Judaism, at the masonic hall, in this
city, on last Sunday evening. There was a
very fair audience in attendance, who listened
to the reverend gentleman with considerable
interest. Before returning to Galveston Dr.
Blum organized a Sunday school for the He-
brew children in this city, for which he left
some gold medals.
CAMP.
Pittsburg Magnet: Camp county abounds
with mounds—the work of some lost race.
From these, various relics have been gathered.
Such as arrow heads of fdut, various utensils
of pottery bearing rude figures of animals,
seemingly of a hieroglyphic nature, and sun
dried brick still bearing the imprsssion of the
straw mingled with the mortar of which they
were made. Mr. Mack Diamond plowed up in
his field, three miles north of Pittsburg, a
curious implement resembling a tomahawk,
composed of steel and brass. The archaeolo-
gist can find thousands of strange mementoes
in our country, ot a race of whose origin and
destiny history gives no account.

PANHANDLE. V
A cow-boy who followed a herd from Texas
writes to the Coleman Telegram: These plains
are wild, lonesome and desolate-looking places, ±
whose inhabitants are coyotes, crows and cut-
ting ants, or other disagreeable neighbors.
"Several rattlesnakes were killed by members -
of our party. There is nothing to be seen in
the shape of timber. Small sags brushes are
the largest kind of plants that grow in these
regions. Grass is only found in small spots.
We haul our wood and water. The Pecos
river steals its way through a level plain, and
we were just on "the eve of falling into the
stream when we discovered it, as the grass is
very high by the banks. The valley through
which the Pecos runs might also lie called a
large canyon, as on either side are moun-
tains or hills, some miles distant from,
the course of the water. The Pecos
water is muddy, reddish in color and salty iu
taste. The distance mado by us without wa-
tering before reaching the Pecos was seventy
miles, but the cattle seemed to stand the drive
very well. Crossing the river we traveled
eight miles and passed a Mexican farm of S00
acres, irrigated from the Pecos. Thence we
kept up the river fifty miles to Horsehead
crossing. Passing over to the west bank at
this place we traveled a distance of some sixty
miles, and arrived at Seven Rivers. New Mex-
ico, the forty-third day of our departure from
Kerr county. We traveled up the Pecos in all
about -i00 miles, and in that distance never
saw a tree, and but two tributary streams.
But at Seven Rivers we found a beautiful
country, with fine water, grass and some scat-
tering settlements. There are some cattle
ranchos along the Pecos, but there is plenty of
room for thousands of cattle more, anil good
ranchos can be located.
REFUGIO.
Transcript: During tbe last ten days Live
Oak Point was visited b3-agloriou3 rain, which
settled the dust, tilled cisterns, revived vegeta-
tion, and partially tilled up the pools for our
thirsty cattle. The rain was worth many dol-
lars in value, and the garden*? are looking well
from the pure libation. A storm of wind at-
tended the rain, and for a brief while the wind
raged with almost the fury and velocity of
that of 1875, but onl\- lasted, while at the
height of its fury, for a few minutes, and con-
sequently but little damage was done."
VAN ZANDT.
Canton Chronicle: Thursday night of last
week, after two witnesses had testified in the
Teel murder case, a runner came to town
after one of the jurors—Mr. G. A. Owe:is—
bringing him the news that one of his chi.dren
was at the point of death and for him to come
home speedily if he expected to see it alive.
He went to judge Robertson, who gave him
permission to go. He did not return by 12
o'clock Friday, and the balance of tlie jury
were discharged. The case was then con-
tinued, and Teel entered into recognizance in
the sum of $2500 for his appearance at the next
term. A list of 13f names was exhausted to
secure twelve jurors in the Teel case, and from
theiiotoriety it has gained it will likely take
double that "number next term to get a jury-.
There is great dissatisfaction throughout tho
county in regard to the way the Teel murder
case passed off. We do not propose to give
our individual views on the case, but the dis-
satisfaction is well grounded we believe.

weather axd crops.
The farmers of Denton county are rejoicing
over the splendid rains they have had, and
crops are in a fine condition; corn, cotton,
wheat and oats look well.
Hill county Expositor: The oat crop will
be immense. Several have told us that their
fields would yield one hundred bushels per
acre. Wheat "looks well, and as yet is not
much injured by the rust. Some fields will do
to cut this week. Grazing is remarkably fine,
and cattle are fat. Cotton stands well.
Coleman (Coleman county I Courant, May 6:
Coleman has been favored with three or four
days rain, giving the ground a thorough soak-
ing the last week. Vegetation is greatly re-
vived, grass good, crops in good condition and
growing rapidly. Indeed, there were " mil-
ions in it" for Colemn county.
Graham Leader, May 7: Two weeks travel
through Young county enabled me to see
many of our farines, all of whom seem to an-
ticipate excellent crops.
Cleburne {Johnson county) Chroniclers
Baraesville notes, May 9: Quite a quantity of
r»in has fallen in these parts for the past few
days From the present prospect of corn the
farmers are looking forth for a luxurious yield
the ensuing season. What a blessing the
abundance would be to the now much leedy
Wheat in this section is fast proving a
failure, in fact, some of the farmers are plow-
ing it up and planting the lands in cotton. The
rust is despairing the farmer and killing tbe
wheat somewhat....The hoppersare still with
us. The garden vegetable seems to be the mos:
palatable plant of all with them. While they
have completely destroyed many fine gardens,
they have done nothing serious outside.

rust, only a kind of mould, which always ap-
pears on wheat in seasons like this. So far
from proving an injury, our observation of
more than twenty years is that wheat
thus affected never failed to make a good crop.
Fort Griffin Echo: Farmers from Deep
creek report that the wheat crop in that sec-
tion has been greatly injured by some kind of
bug or fly, supposed to be the chinch bug.
Delta County Beacon: Everywhere in the
county crops are improving....Lake Creek
farmers say corn is doing very well.
Morris County Banner: Although crops are
late they are reported to be growing off
nicely.
Austin Statesman May 12.—Mr. George
Graham brought in a sample of oats yesterday
that are very fine. The straw is very large
and strong, and sustains immense beads of
well developed grains. Judging from the
sample, the yield per acre will not be far from
one hundred bushels. The general average
throughout the county, from all we can learn,
will be about eighty bushels.
Weatnerford (Parker county) Times, May
8: Our friend Mr. S. Crawford, from the
Keechi, paid us a visit on Tuesday. He re-
ports the wheat short in consequence of the ex-
treme dry weather ef last year, but hopes the
recent rains through his valley will make them
a full half crep, or ten to twelve bushels to the
acre. Mr. Crawford says the corn never
looked finer than now, with everything promis-
ing for an extraordinary yield. The cotton,
so far as it shows above ground, he says, is all
that the farmers can desire.
Dallas Times, May 11: The cry of rust in
different parts of the country is now drowned
by the cries of worms. Yet with it all, in the
northern part of the county, w ith tbe excep-
tion of a few fields here and there, the wheat
crop looks well, and will astonish the country
in its yield. The husbandmen are threading
their way through the long, dark lines of
growing corn, putting the last agricultural
touches to it, surrounded by the finest crop
that Dallas county ever had—muttering;
'•Corn, cut-worms, chinch-bugs, rust and
ruin."

LIVE STOCK A'OTES.
Coleman (Coleman county) Courant, May 6:
Capt. Pool, one of Coleman's stock men, left
this week for his rancho. 150 miles west, ta
collect a beef herd to drive to Gainesville....
The town has been unusually quiet the past
week—cowboys are all off on the round-up.
During the winter and cold spring cattle scat-
tered badly, and it will be difficult to get thein
all back this entire summer.
Correspondent Graham Leader, May 7: -All
vegetation is growing rapidly, and the pros-
pect is encouraging for good crops, with an
abundance of grass to place cattle in a mar-
ketable condition.
San Antonio Express: Mr. John Gamel, now
in this city, has received a telegram from
Coleman City, Coleman county, informing
him ef a frightful and disastrous stampede of
stock on tbe trail to Kansas, last Saturday
night, during the prevalence of a storm.
There were as many as ten herds, or about
30,000 cattle, in the same locality, near the
Colorado river, two of them belonging to Mr.
Gamel. The herds were mixed up by tho
stampede, and many of the stock were either
lost or killed. Mr. Gamel alone is out about
400 head. Great difficulty wiil be experienced
in collecting the stock into the herds in which
thev belong.

Lockhart News-Echo, May 8: Near 100.00CI
head of cattle have been driven along this trail
through Lockhart, since the 5th of April.
Coleman Telegram: Forty thousand head
of cattle passed through our county withiu
the last week. It has been a little severe on
sheep for the last three or four days; cool
nights with heavy rains. Owing to the dronth
last season, stockmen of Texas moved their
stock to the frontier In such vast numbers that
but few large herds were left in the eastern
and southern counties; there was no gra=*
which they could subsist on. Large herds
could be s^n coming from tbe distant south-
ern counties last fall, moving in a north-
west direction, while large herds from eastern
counties going west. The stockmen found
good ranges in this and other counties. The
cattle, sheep and horses thrived well, and some
of tbe cattle got so fat that they were killed
for beef, till grass grew up this spring, when,
of course, they began to improve agaift. In
some places where but little ram fell la3t sum-
mer, cattle became very much reduced in
flesh, and some of them died during a severe
norther early this spring. It being uncom-
monly dry since, the stockmen became uneasy,
and many of them were preparing to leave for
other parte, but the late ram has settled
to perfection all uneasiness, and the grass is
excellent at the present time.
