the largest summer resort In Texas, on

healing properties of its waters. We are
glad to learn that the town of Lampat>a»
is steadily improving, and that ihe crop
prospects of the surrounding country
were never 1 tetter when these gentlemen

present cold weather has proved damag-

GALVESTON, TEXAS, t
Thl bmbat Evmnto. April 8, 1874. f
There has l>een more buginesa doing
to-day, and buyers have been more
numerous. The opening week of the
month now promises to show the antici-
pated increase in the volume of distribu
tion. In values to-day we have again to
report an advance of Jc. on clear sides.
Other classes of provisions are unchanged,
but Hoar is still slow of sale.
The hide market is steady and receipts
more liberal, bat the consignments were
chiefly to dealers for reshipment. Prices
have been fully sustained.
The cotton market has been devoid of
animation in consequence of the dullness
cansed in leading markets by the large
receipts yesterday. The flgnres for to-
day have been small, and the average of
the two days is almost proportionate
with the receipts during tha forepart of
the week. The total thus far this week
shows a falling oft from last week, but a
more important excess over the receipts
for the corresponding week laat year.
The market is devoid of strength. Gold
opened lower, but at the cloee the New
York quotation is the same as it was last
evening, viz: 113i.
COTTON .
The market ha* been depressed to-day, and
sales are only to the extent of 100 bale*.
Quotations, although unchanged, are barely
nominal. Advices have not been encouraging;
arrival* are a -hade lower at Liverpool, and
spot market is dull. From New York the dis
patches report lower gold and steady fu uie
inaiket, but spot dull and easier. Sterling Is
higher, and receipts at all ports have been
small. (To-morrow being Good Friday, no
di^patcnes will be received, aa the New York
Exchanges will all be closed.)

Decoying l%lld Geefce.
The Long Islanders play a somewhat
treacherous game on unsuspecting wild
geese as they pass that little spot on
their spring tour to their northern
feeding grounds. The New York
/Timet says:
The setson of goose-shooting on the
shores of the Oreat South Ray, which
commcuced about the 10th instant,
will last until the 20th of April.
Quite a profitable business is made of
it during its continuance. As a prepa-
ration sportsmen generally obtain from
fifteen to twenty-five wild geese by
''winging" them on their passage north
or south—the old-fashioned wooden
"st.oolers" b?ing regarded as entiiely
l>ehind the age.
\ These are tamed so that they can be
'•lined" to stakes, when they are taken
to the l>ars where the wild geese usually
stop to feed, and fastened to stakes
put down in the sand out of sight,
while the gunner conceals himself in a
box sunk in the saud and partially
covered by seaweed or meadow-grass.
When flocks of wild gaese are passiug,
these partially tainad will call them,
and usually they will fly near by or
light, when the gunner rises and shoot*.
Kxpcrts have killed as many as twen-
ty-tlve at a shot. The flocks of tamed
, geese are regarded as very valuable.

ICE! ICE! ICE!
THE PEOPLE'S
Lone Star Ice Company,
Composed of
B. TIERNAN & CO.,
Having now received its first cargo of Ice,
will be prepared to supply customer?, at its
Ice House, on CENTER (or Twenty-first}
-^TREET, midway between PostofRce and
Church streets, on and after
Tuesday, the Twenty-fourth instant.
In asking the patronage of the public the
Company desire to say that car sful calcula-
tion 8how8 that ice can be furnished in this
city, at a reasonable profit for
Two Cents per ponnd Wholesale and
Tito and a Half Cents Retail
throughout the year, and that, therefore,
these prices will be charged without devia-
tion Heretofore it has never been sold here
at wholesale for less than 2# cents per pounds
except in-a few instances of temporary and
active opposition, while sometimes, in cases
of scarcity, or of great demand in seasons of
epidemic, as much as 5 cents per pound has
been extorted from the necessities of the
people. This Company having perfected ar-
rangements that insure its being always
abundantly supplied, and proposing to carry
on the business permanently, does not intend
or expect, by taking unfair advantages of the
citizens, to become rich within a few years,
but rather to grow gradually with the city,
and to share in its prosperity. Hence the
prices now adopted will not be increase I
ehould opportuuity be offered for extortion,
and will not be diminished for the purpose of
driving others out of the business, with a
view of gaining a monopoly, and then making
up losses by exorbitant charges. But a fair
living price has been adopted and will be
uniformly adhered to, in the confident ex-
pectation that the public will signify its ap-
proval by a liberal patronage, to deserre
which every exertion will be made.
