GAiNKiVatB, Texas, May 20, 1877.
Dear Murray,:
To the dweller Vo large cities, subject
to the inconveniences ot dust and heat,
and anr.oyed by the jostling of the surg-
ing crowds of side-walk loungers, wi'h
shins in momentary danger of being
barked by the dangling teel of the goods-
box pressers, or the awkward kicks ot
amateur foot ballists, it is an inconceiva-
ble pleasure to mount a “tackey” and
turn his head (in obedience to the injunc-
tion of H. G., the deceased philosopher ot
Hoboken heights) in the direction of the
setting run,
Passing through the rough and broken
timbered land that surrounds the future
metropolis of North Texas, you suddenly
emerge on a splendid rolling prairie of
boundless extent, carpeted with the rich
green grasses and lovely tinted flowers,
common in such profusion only to our
Slate,” dotted here and there with tastelul
cottages, surrounded by beautilul tarmsj
the lields of waving grain, budding coin
and sprouting cotton, attesting the indus-
n„ thi* In vet v nlain.
for Councilman. Capt. Doughty will
probably be selected.
The most amusing article we have read
lately is ‘‘One Day in Journalism, in the
St. Louis Daily Journal of the 22nd inst.
It is descriptive ol Mr. Bartholomew M.
Chamber’s first day’s experience as editor
of the St. Louis Times.
The fas. ionablc shoe this spring is
Ghan’s hand-made, imported. They are
well made, and of the best material.

_ v, s-turdav night for The eye gradually graspes the splendor of
m convention next 'Saturday , J the gCene, the heart expands as the revi-
the purpose ot nominating a candidate | y blood more rapidly trickles into
the leservoii of life, and is driven by the
never ceasing engine of existence w.th
renewed power to every part of tne sys-
tem. The soul fills with love and lever-
ence for the giver ol so much good, and
a silent prayer ascends as sweet incense
to the Creator.
As mile after mile is measured by the
feet of your tirehss pony, the scene only
changes to become more beautiful at each
step, and the magnificent wilderness ot
Cross-timbers is no whit behind her
prairie sister, in the elegance and produc-
tiveness ot her farms. On every hand
evidences of increasing thrift attest tlie
improvements in our farming system, a
6ure sign that a few years will, in this
respect, place Texas on the same plane
as her older sisters of the great West.
Gainesville is improving but little now,
but only awaits the snort of the iron
hone (which is sure soon to follow in
the wake of I he engineer corps) to awak-
en into a live city. In fact the braying
of Jerry Nolan’s mule was sufficient evi-
dence to many '‘that the coming event”
wis thus practically “casting its shadow
before.”
The acreage of grain is about ten per
cent, less than last year. About ten per
cent, fias been “grasshoppered,” (score
me a new word), but the production will
be at least fifty per cent, greater, and of
a much better grade; so, as the price
promises to be better, we may well hope
that this year’s crops will bring double
the amount of money into the country
that it did last.
Messrs. Bailev, of the Hesperian, arid
Dodson, of the Gazette, speak cheerfully
of their prospects, and -v ,n embued with
a spirit ot enterprise, so necessary to
journalistic success. We are thankful
for courtesies extended by these gentle-
men.
Will return via Dexter, and report in a
few days, in person, the condition ol
things on that route.
Yours truly,
Wil. Thornton.

There is now and then a person foolish
enough to stop his paper because sqme-
thingappears in it not precisely in accor-
dance with his notions, but a newspaper
man one would think to be the very last
person guilty of such an act. Finer, ot
the Bonham News, however, is one of
that class, having refused to take a

Morning slippers only 50 cents at

Mr. W. R. Arey is arranging for a
grand vocal and instrumental concert, to
take place at the opera house in Sher-
man, Thursday, June 28th, one of the
novel features ot which will be the giving
away of a $6 io piano during the evening, j there were no signs of life. As a last re-
Tickets are placed at $1 each, and limited j sort one man ran into Brown’s Book
Kits.
Tnere was once upon a time a man
that was subject to them and they usually
came on him when he had just got in
front of a drug store. They always gave
him brandy. One good glass always set
him to rights. But the fils increased, and
as a consequence, so did the brandy. Al-
ter a while the dtug stores went back on
him, and when the fit came on him they
gave him water and chloroform, pulled
his hair and stuck nins in him, but still
to seven hundred. Each ticket will enti
tie the holder to one chance at the piano,
and the disposition of the instrument will
be by lot as the audience may determine.
No doubt a large number of tickets will
be sold 111 this city, and it is also quite
' likely that the Central will give excur-
sion rates on the railroad to those who
wish to attend the concert.
We would call the attention of our
county commissioners to the unsafe con-
dition of the jail at Denison. It is sim-
ply ridiculous to place criminals there lor
safe-keeping. More criminals are appre-
hended perhaps in Denison Hum at Sher-
man, and as a general rule, have to un-
dergo their preliminary examination here
before Esquire Kirk, consequently have
to be kept here, at least for a period. Dim
ing the last twelve months more than
four hundred dollars have been expended
'in guarding prisoners at Denison, and
whenever n guard was not placed over
the jail (and sometimes even then) pris-
oners have escaped. If the county would
place a strong iron cngc in one of the
apartments, it would save the hire ot
guards, and effectually guard against
future jail deliveries. As the Commis-
sioners Court meets next Monday, We
suggest that they at once adopt the proper
Steps in the matter.

JAIL DELIVERY.
Escape in Broad Day Light.
Wm. Haynes, alias S. Lawson, alias
W. St. Clair, and f. Manger, two prison-
ers confined in our city Jail, managed to
bieak out Wednesday. They tore one of
the oaken uprignts loose, and by insert-
ing the same between the iron bars, broke
two of them and bent two others in such
a way that a sufficient opening was made
for them to crawl through. All this was
done in broad day light, as when their
breakfast was given them at 7 130 a. tn.
the jailor, Mr. Nelms, found everything
in order. Manger was met by Consta-
ble Spence on the street at about 8 a. m.,
and by him rearrested, whereupon he in-
formed Spence of the escape of the other
prisoner.
Manger was confined in jail solely for
inability to pay his fine, which was im-
posed upon him for refusal to work the
public roads, be owning a farm in Kan
sas, claiming not to be a citizen of this
State, consequently not liable to road
duty. We alluded to his case several days
ago.
The other prisoner, Haynes, with di-
vers aliases, is evidently a dangerous
man. He is'one of tne parties implicat-
ed in the robbery in the Nation, sometime
last week, and was arrested by Marshal
Patrick last Thursday, and placed in the
county jail at Sherman. On Mono ay
night ho was brought back to Denison,
in order to be tried Tuesday before Es-
quire Kirk, but owing to the sudden rise
in Red River the witnesses could not get
here, consequently the trial had to be
postponed. The chances for appiehen-
ston of the scoundrel are exceedingly
slim.
It appears to us that the many jail de-
liveries which have ocurred here, should
have convinced our county authorities
that our jail is no place in which to keep
criminals, and it certainly seems a piece
of gross ignorance not to place a guard
over them, when by necessity as awaiting
preliminary examination, they must be
kept here.
St. Nicholas For .lime
Is as bright as the June sunshine, and
full of June’s breeziness and cheer. The
frontispiece is a fine picture of “A June
morning,” and at the close of the number
Prof. Proctor show* “The Stars in June,”
while between these two we find many of
thedehghtful scenes with which every June
day is filled. There is a dainty picture
on one page of a little girl in gown and
sun-bonnet, demurely reading her for-
tune from the daisy-leaves; and on an-
other, a barefooted boy is enjoying gay
summer fiolics with a frisky cr.lt. “The
Gieen House with Gold Nails”—so beau-
tifully portrayed- is one of June’s special
treasures. “Wild Mice” begin their June
time travels along the numberless little
paths through the fields, peeping out at
us here and there in Mr. Riordau’s ex-
quisite pictures; the nests in which some
of our common birds spend this glorious
month are descibed by Prof Brooks; and
the June “Roses” bloom in Edgar Faw-
cett’s pretty verses. But ad these form
only a part of the good things that the
number contains. It is a splendid num
ber. Every child that does not see St.
Nicholas every month misses a great deal
of happiness. For sale at Brown’s Book
Store.
Mr. Burson’s two wagon* are doing
excellent aervicc sprinkling Main street,
but he experiences a good deal of trouble
in obtaining sufficient water. He is not
at'owed to use the public pump, corner of
Main street and Austin avenue, as it is
in charge of the fire company, and is
compelled to haul water from the M-, K.
Hi T. stock yard pond. We do not wish
to find fault with the city for not allowing
the public pump to be used, as it is very
important it be kept in perlect working
order to be ready in case of fire; but we
would suggest that it would prove a great
accommodation, not ojilv to those en-
gaged sprinkling the streets, but also to
those residing in the country who visit
the city with their teams, if an extra
force pump was placed in the well. A
small one would do. and the cost would
be but little. Wheie there is such an
abundance of water the public ought to
have access to it.

Wednesday evening the third game of
the series between the up-town and
down-town buys was played, resulting in
a victory for the latter. 1 he score stood
26 to 22. The game was witnessed by a
large and appreciative crowd, who ap-
plauded each good play vociferously.
There was considerable dispute con-
cerning the result, and it was alleged that
the scorer, Mr. Ed. Zintgratf, had de-
stroyed the score to deceive the up-town
boys. However the alleged deceit was
unfounded, and any plaver can sa isfy
himself by calling on Mr. Zintgraff, who
has in his possession the original score.

day, weather permitting.

Editor Daily News :
We notice a communication in the
Cresset of Thursday that in cur upin-
ion does injustice to policeman Batch,
and in simple justice to him will state
that we were eye witnesses of the difficul-
ty alluded to bv “A Citizen.”
When the affray occurred policeman
Burch interposed as soon as he could
reach the ground, at once separated the
combatants, and prevented them from
renewing the affray, which was attempted
several times. He put the parties under
recognisance for their appearance the
next morning. One of the combatants
immediately went home, and tne other
shortly afterwards. We might sav, fur-
ther, that one of the combatants ap-
peared the following morning, plead
guilty to an assault, and was duly fined.
The other was called away to Sherman
on business the next morning, but will
return and we suppose be dealt with by
the authorities. S. Waterman.

Nerves that Quiver.
Heads that ache, stomachs that inflict
dyspeptic torments, muscles and joints
racked with the rheumatism, are infallib-
ly restored to health by the celebrated
elixir, Hostctter’s Stomach Bitters, a med-
icine prescribed bv physicians, posessing
infinite purity, and which no one takes in
vain who is atfiicted with any of the nu-
merous complaints to which it ts adapted.
It frequently happens that so-called rem-
edies fail to produce a permanent effect.
This isbecause they are merely palliatives,
and therefore do not remove the cause of
the maladies, whose symptoms they after
a time cease to ameliorate. This is notably
the case with opiates and sedative drugs.
It is not so, however, with Hostetler’s
Stomach Bitters, which are a searching
specific that conquers the disease as well
as banishes its indicia.
M., K. & T. Ky. Extension.
At the annual meeting of the
holders of the Missouri, Kansas and I\x
as Railroad, hel l in Parsons, Kansas, on
the 16th irist., a resolution was adopted
authorising the company to commence
the construction of a line of road south-
east from Denison, to connect with the
International and Great Northern. This
road will be about seventy miles long,
and will open up another competing line
to St. Louis and the west, not only h r
Houston, but for all sections through
which the latter road passes. The ex
tension will pass through portions of
Grayson, Fannin, Hunt, Rains and Wood
counties, connecting at Minneola, the
junction of the T. & P. with the I. U ti.
N. Railroad.—Houston Age.
Speaking of this new road the Waco
Examiner says: “This line will be ol
great benefit to Denison, and will also
furnish a competing line to Galveston.’
