Here, at the height of nearly six
hundred feet, in a temparate climate,
with abundance f moisture, and yet
protected by lofty mountains from
the fierce coniinuous rains on the In-
dian southwest moonsoon, we have
the most splendid amphitheatre in the
world. Y fat oval valley, about sixty
miles long and forty in breadth, is
surrounded by magnificent moun-
tains, which, during the greater part
of the } ear, are covered more than
half way down with snow, and pres-
ent vast upland beds, of pure white
snow. This-valley has fine lakes, is
intersected with water- courses, and
its land is covered wit* brilliant veg-
tation, including gigantic trees of the
richest foliage. Out of this great
central valley there rises innumera-
ble, long, picturesque mountain val-
leys—such is that of Sind River, which
I have just described, while above
these there are great pine forests,
green slopes of grass, glaciers and
snow. Nothing could better express
the eflect ; than Moore’s famouslines

The heavy rains have interrupted
the- picking, and the negroes are
having a rest.
The high winds have had the effect
of scattering the cotton a little, and
perhaps of lowering the general
average grade.
The rains have had the effect of
keeping cotton back a little. The
receipts yesterday show a decided
falling off in amounts from the pre-
vious days of this week.

Mr. McNaughton has returned
from Denison, where he went with
a load of copper ore taken from the
mines in Archer county, thirty miles
west of Cambridge. Mr. M. is high-
ly pleased with his experiment; says
he realized, a good profit on the ore
taken to market. He has contracted
with parties in Denison to deliver
more of the precious metal, and is
now on his way to the mines with
several wagons which he intends
loading. We learn that steps will
be taken soon to develop these mines
in a scientific .manner. We will have
much to say regarding these import-
ant mines in the future.
[Giddings Tribune.]
Another brutal murder was com-
mitted , on last Monday night just
across the line in Bastrop county.'
Mr. Craddock, an old, peaceable and
harmless citizen of this county, with-
out a known enemy in the world,
left his home Monday with an ox
team, hauling cane to a mill, some!
three or four miles away. In the
evening his oxen came home with

This morning about 10 o’clock,
United States Commissioner Ben
Long was seen hastily riding into
the city from a northerly direction
towards his home, with his left hand
bandaged, upon which was dstinct
discoloration of blood. Curiosity
was at once excited, and upon re-
pairing to his residence it was ascer-
tained that he had been shot. Upon
further inquiry, the following par-
ticulars of the affair were elicited—
it being the statement of Commis-
sioner Long;
Some weeks ago Commissioner
Long discovered a man by the name
of Andrew Hoch, a painter by trade,
hunting on his (Long’s) grounds,
known as "Long’s Lake/’ and used
as a pleasure resort, near this city,
on the line of the Wichita Railroad.
Long requested him not to trespass
on the grounds, for the purpose of
hunting, and the man left. This;
morning, on visiting his place, he
again found Hoch slaying birds, and,
