Col. Shnfter and Lieut. Bnllie
have gone to Washington to tes-
tily before the Congressional
Committee as to the condition of
affairs on tne border. Col. S.
was interviewed by a correspon-
dent ot the Galveston Sews at
San Antonio. Col. Shatter said
that thousands upon thousands
ol head ot stock had been stolen
and driven into Mexico within
the last tew vjeara. Where one
head ot stock is recaptured, at
least twenty are not. The raid-
ers are mostly lipans, but there
are thieving Mexicans with
,them. The Mexicans buy the
stock and also tit oub the raiding
parties. These matters are noto-
rious. The raiders hardly ever
miss a full moon, and sometimes
there are several raiding parties
at once. The Colonel said he
had been stationed on the Rio
Grande ten years and during
that time has known only two
raid* tram Texas into Mexico,
and then the raiders were Mexi-r
cans. As soon as raiding parties
cross the Rio Grande they di-

Navy is in luck; he was forced

The co-partnership heretofore ex-

address with a declaration of

Tnic Fort Worth Standard is
of the opinion that Texas cattle
came originally from Mexico,
they having b en taken to that
country by the Spaniards. Mex-
ico having been settled long be-
iore Louisiana, the idea that
French cattle were first intro-
duced into Texas thus falls, as
fean Antonio was settled prior
to tie settlement of Louisiana.
It appears that Russia is very
independent; she isjplies to Eng-

About five weeks ago there was

TI10 Bolton Journal, speaking
of the election ot a new board
ot directors of the G. C. and S.
F. Ry., and their subsequent or-
ganization, says: "It is right
and proper tor all incorporated
bodies to hold meeting-, pass
resolutions, appoint, committees
and receive reports." The«/0u/*«
rial says Belton wants a rail-
road and wants one very much I
that the direct road to Galves-
ton »s the best suited to the
wants ot the country, and that
so soon as active work is com-
menced, and it is demonstrated
by action that the road will be
built, the people along the line
will contribute liberally towards
its construction. The one thing
now wanted is work, not resolu
tions; it talking and writing
would build railroads, enough of
both has already been done to
build many hundred thousand
miles.
Jan. 1st, 1878.
A merry, merry Christmas
have we had ; Christmas trees,
Christmas dinners, balls, socia-
ble*; croliquet parties, etc., etc.,
have been in perpetual order the
past week, but what is strange to
relate—not a single weuding
have we to chronicle.
The "tree" at Gray's Hall
was indeed elegant. Many mer-
ry hearts was made happy on
plucking from its laden branch-
es the most delicious of fruits.
We are informed that among the
rarest of the fruits of this varia-
gated tree, called from its boughs
by a couple ot young ladies,
were a couple ot beautiful gold
watches.
An elegant Christmas dinner
was given by Capt. A. Sauls and
lady. Also, in the evening of
the same day, a most sumptu-
ous supper was given by Mr. P.
McPhaul and lady.
Messrs.
Layne, formerly ot Terrell and
Dallas, are visiting their parents
iu this vicinity.
1 Romantic Introduction.
A young gentleman of this
county who had for a year and
a half been corresponding with
a young lady residing in a Wes-
tern city, but never *een her,
concluded to pay a visit.
Taking the train he in due time
arrived at the city where his
charmer resided. Going t > a
hotel he lost no time in sending! late firm are requested to prt"Vnt them
her a note through the post of-
fice, but owing to delays it fail-
ed to reach its destination.
Next day at noon our hero char-
tered a hack and was soon land-
ed in front of the man-ion of
the lady. He sent in his card ;
she not being aware ot his pres-
ence in the city was of course
much astonished and came near
fainting(?) She didn't faint, but
requested that our hero be asked
into the parlor. A brother ot
the young' lady's entertained
the young man while she was
arranging her toilet. About
the time-she was ready to come
down the brother excused him-
self leaving the couple to intro-
duce themselves as best they
might. She entered the parlor
smiling; at the same time blush-
ing. lie arose, she bowed, he
bowed, they shook hand#1, both
then walked to the sofa and
seating themselves, a lively and
enteresting conversation was
opened. The interview was
kept, up until a late hour in the
evening. The call was repeated
the next day, a buggy ride was
indulged in and a happy time
enjoyed by the two whose heart
seemed to beat in unison. The
naxt day the young gentlemai
took the train homeward bound.
It would not be at all surpris-
ing it this meeting did not ul
timately terminate in a wedding.

The above contains too mnch
truth. Justice is meted out in
proportion to the length of a

man without friends is forced to
a summary trial and it guilty is
generally convicted. It a man
has mouey enough, lie can kill

goes scot free. This ig so not
