A few evenings since, as the stage for Richmond was just going out, the horses turned suddenly and capsized the vehicle. Fortunately no one was hurt, though we observed several on the street who did not wish to interrupt the horses on their way to the stable!
An Alligator some ten feet in length was killed near town the other day while leisurely taking a survey of the green foliage on the banks of the river. Alas! How often are we cut down in the midst of fancied pleasure!
We direct the attention of those desirous of having blacksmith work done to the card of Mr. M. McLAMORE to be found in another column. He guarantees to do work well, and on liberal terms.
We have received the Caddo Gazette _______, a newspaper published in Shreveport, La. By W. H. and J. M. Scanland. It is one of most attic sheets now printed – not that it is published in an attic, but from the fact that it abounds with wit and humor, and is the best recipe for the blues we know of. Terms $2 a year. Ye who love fun call at our office and give us the tin to send for the Gazette.
Capt. Ford is doing gallant service on our frontier. We publish t0-day an account of a battle he had with the Indians, in which seventy-six of the latter were killed. A few such men would soon rid our frontier of these everlasting pests.
We have received a copy of the Independent, published and edited in Bonham, Fannin county by Jno. M. Crane. It is a quarto sheet, neatly printed and well edited, independent, of course in politics. It is gotten up with great care and order, the different departments as the Editorial, Agricultural, Literary, etc. being arranged under their distinctive heads. It is a first class county paper, and will doubtless be the means of doing much good for that flourishing portion of our State. We are pleased to notice that the merchants of Bonham are giving it a liberal patronage, by giving it whole columns advertisements. Terms $2 per annum in advance. We shall be pleased to exchange with the Independent.
Judge Beckley has written a letter to the people of Texas in answer to one of the charged made against his character. It is rather inexplicit, but we suppose it will suit those would support him in any event. We will publish it next week and mayhap make some remarks thereon.
Departed – Mr. Willis McMickan, Esq., leaves on the stage to-night for South Carolina, where he intends luxuriating among the hills and vales for a short time, after a manner peculiar to his own. Ye prosperous winds, bear him safe to us again!
An Irishman calling himself McMay who we mentioned in our last was arrested for attempting to steal a horse, was tried before Mayor Darden on last Saturday and bound over in the sum of $500 to make his appearance at the next term of the District Court. Being unable to give bond, he is now boarding at the expense of the county.
Good showers of rain fell here on yesterday and last night and the weather is still showery this morning. It came in good time as corn began to suffer for want of it. An abundance of corn in this county is now beyond a doubt. Some of our citizens are eating messes of roasting ears.
NEWS FROM THE RANGERS!
TERIFFIC BATTLE – SEVENTY SIX INDIANS KILLED – EIGHTEEN INDIANS AND THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY HORSES CAPTURED – TWO RANGERS KILLED AND ONE WOUNDED.
