Wakted.—a practical printer to be-
come a partner in tUe publication of the
CuHHtryman. Little,or no immediate capi-
tal required. A person who can come well
reeommended tor honesty, Nobriety and
energy, and who wishes to make his home
here, can hare a profitable and permanent
situation. Mo letter will be answered.—
Application in person must be made. A
printer having some editorial experience
preferred. tf.
Pbeaciiinu—Rev. Mr. Monges
will preach at this pi nee next Sunday
at 11 o'clock a. m. (D. V.)
Dr. Donnuy lms laid u* under
obligation* (or bringing nn our paper
from Hempstead.
Apologetic.—-No paper wa3 issued
from this office last week. Cause-
no paper to print it on. The^paper
was at Hempstend, but bad weather
and other causes delayed its arrival.
We were as mad as we could be about
the failure—and when we get mad,
our patrons ought to keep in good
hainor.
Resignation.—8. Brewer has posi
tivel y resigned his office as Assessor
and Collector of Austin county. So
eays the County Judge.
Garden Seeds.—James Burke the
groat Texas Seedsman has supplied
us, through the kindness of John G.
Bell, Esq., -with nn abundnut variety
of garden seeds, just in timo for us
to use thern.
Fire.—Wo understand that the
corn-crib of Mr. John Atkinson, who
resides near this placo, was consum-
ed by fire on Sunday night last, and
about two hundred bushels of corn,
and a considerable quantity of cotton-
seed were burnt up ; also, about fifty
or sixty panels of fence. The crib
was at his plantation in Mill Creek
bottom, about two miles from his
house. The cause of the fire is un-
known,
Vaccinate.—We have the pleasure
of stating that the physicians of this
place aro now supplied with matter
for vaccination. As the small-pox is
prevailing in many parts of Jim coun-
try, it would be Well for all who have
not been vaccinated, to attend to this
immediately. For this vaccine the
physicians of this place are indebted
to the kindness of Dr. Henry Roberts,
of Providence, l a., through the editor
of this paper. We have no hesitation
ityt'ouching for its purity.
New Mail Route.—Petitions are
in circulation for'the establishment of
a mail route from Hempstead througl
Bellville and Industry to Alleyton
Will not the friends of this route take
some pains in procuring signatures
and then returning tho petitions to us
at Bellville, that they may all be
forwarded to Washington City early
in March Í "A long pull, a strong
pull, and a pull all together" may at
this time pftoctiro the establishment
oí this much needed mail route.
Brick.—Wh are glad to learn that
Uapt. J. T. Edwards is making pre-
parations to burn several hundred
thousand brick near this place, early
in the spring. Tho brick aro much
needed, and wo predict that the Uapt.
will find no diffii^ilty in making rapid
sale of them.
A. P. Willis.—In noticing the
death of Mr. Willis at his homo at
Idhnvild on the 2.0th ult., the papers
recapitulate tlio periodicals with tho
publication of which ho was con-
nected. But we have uniformly no-
ticed one omission: the "Brother
Jonathan" was edited about 1840-42
by N. P, Willis & Rev. 11. Hastings
Weld. We were a subscriber to tho
Spoon*.—We notice in several ex-
change^ intimations that Gen. Benja-
min Franklin 'Butler, formerly a
Major General in the Federal service,
has been guilty of taking silver and
other valuable spoons from persons
without their consent and with the in-
tent to appropriate them to his own
use. For the honor of humanity it is
to be hoped tyat this charge is not
true; but there is so much said about
it'in the papers, that some very clev-
er and honest people are beginning
to believe there is some foundation
for the rumor. Mr. Butler resides in
Massachusetts. He was a Democrat
until a short time before ho was
charged with taking the spoons,
tir We published a week or two
since, an important law regulatiug the
sale of stock, etc. This law is so
important that we shall re-publish it
two or three times. A diligent study
of this law will save many subscri-
bers of thp Countryman, ten fold the
price of subscription. Let those who
cannot afford to take their county pa-
per softer for want of the information.
We shnll try to find room for the new
Estray Law, soon.
The Sunday Law.—Whatever ob-
jections may bo made to this law,
there is one thing patent to all resi
dents here ; that is, that Bellville is
a much more quiet town on that day
than in ^formerly timos." Since the
stores aud business places are closed
on that day, and the law generally
obeyed, the great number of colored
peoplo who formerly congregated on
the public square aud at the corners,
have disappeared.
1^" Tho Marshall Republican is
pretty severe upon tho Landholders'
Convention, recently held in Hois
toa. ^Io intimates; quite strongly
that the members of the convention,
with vory few exceptions, owned
none, or very little land in the Stato.
Wo never anticipated much from the
Convention judging by the published
proceedings.
Land Sales.—There are rumors
floating around -that there are to be
considerable land sales at this place
on the first Tuesday in March. We
can not vouch for the truth of the re-
port.
Rcpairs.—WQ notice that the old
"Ervin Hotel" íb undergoing some
repairs. A new roof will soon be up
on it. Jo Christoph and Wm. Reed
are doing tho work. It is needless to
say that the work will be well done.
linin.—There have been consid-
erable showers for tho past several
days, putting the soil in good condi-
tion for planting and gardening.
HíP* T. 11. O'Cnllaghau has been
been elected County Attorney of San
1'atricio county.
Gen. II. r. Beo is residing lit
Monterey, Mexico, He may return
to Toxas, if ho waifts to do so.
Jailor's Residence.—Tho Police
Court of Grimes county has appro
priated $1000 to build ri residence for
tho jailor. Tho idea is, to our mind's
eye, a good one,
John G. Rankin, formerly a
typo in this office, has purchased the
Texas Pioneer and is about starting
it again. Success to yon, John !
The Brenham Banner will soon
be revived. Tho materials for the
'oflico have arrived at that place.—
Send on tho exchanges in advance,
llurruh for McGary & ltofl'!
í^" Tho Victoria Advocato has
got back into tho'hands of S. A.'
Whito as editor and proprietor. It
iaq also become a tri-woekly as well
as weekly.
Indian .—The Beacon, published
at Bosque, Texan, gives the following
particulars of a hard running fight in
Hamilton county a few weeks since,
in which tint parties were no less than
ten Indians on one side, and a tingle
lad on th«i other, all mouuted:
A young lad by the name of Wm.
Willett was going into the town of
Hamilton ou Christmas day, and
when within three miles of the place
was attacked by ten Indians, who
pursued him over two miles toward
town. Mr. Willett was armed
with a six shooter and a large eight
shooting riito. He succeeded in
killing one Indian and woflnding at
least two others. He received several
wounds from arrowB and two balls
through the fleshy part of his thighs,
killing his uiule under him.
It wus fortunate that he was so
well-armed, and had presence of mind
thus so nobly to defend himself. y It
was late at night before a party was
ready for pursuit, and they had much
difficulty in getting a *tart with their
dogs. They found the shield of the
Indian young Willett had kflled, a
piece of buffulo rug, and other unmis-
takable signs of the disaster sustain-
ed by the Indians. After a pursuit
of several hours they found that the
Indians had separated, and the in-
clemency of the weather rendered
further pursuit impracticable
We are happy to add that young
Willett is in a convalescent condition
from his wounds.
Passing Counterfeit Merinoes.—
A Vermont ram peddler, named Tay«
lor, was recently nicely caught in
Ohio. Ho had been passing off and
selling common grade bucks, touched
over with what is known as the
Cornwall fiuish," for sure enough
black Spauish merinoes, but the first
heavy slower washed all the oil
and lampblack away, and the ani-
uials then showed themselves com-
mon scrub?. TI10 man who alters a
92 bank bill to a $20, and represents
and passes it as such, is sent straight
to tho penitentiary; the scoundrel
who alters a common grade sheep to
a full blood merino, and passes it,
ought to follow him. There are
other ram counterfeiters in the North
besides Taylor, and they should be
watched.
The Great Massacre.—A corres-
pondent of the Louisville Journal
gives nn account of tho destruction of
eighty-one U. S. citizens and soldiers,
by Indians, at Fort Philip Kearney,
Dakotah Territory, Dec 21, 1SGG.—
(in that day tho Indians, numbering
fifty, made nil attack on tho wood
paper for a year or two about that ¡ train of tho post. Col. II. Carnim<*-
time.
For Sale.— We hear of a family
residence for sale in Bellville, on
what we deem very advantageous
terms. Somebody better jump at the
oH'er. The house is not ours. See
il you can fiud the advertisement I
Sleet.—On Friday, the 8th inst., n
sudden norther sprung up, (northbis
are always sudden), accompanied by
raiu and sleet, which continued dqr-1 charges; but tho fourth charge over-
lug the day. We had just moved in-1 whelmed them. They weio killed
ton. the commandant, sent out eighty-
one men, including officers and citi-
zens, to guard the train. Tho In-
dians began to retreat. Our men fol-
lowed them into a ravine whero the
Indians had two thousand warriors
concealed. Then commenced one of
tho most terrible hand to hflnd tights
recorded iu the history of Tndion war-
fare. TI10 eighty-one whites repulsed
tho Indians in three successive
Still they Come.—A letter to the
editor of the Civilian, written by
gentleman who has just arrived at
New Orleans from Philadelphia,
says:
All along on the route, from Alex-
andria, Va., tothis city, tho <jry, the
cry was ''Texas, Ho!" among the
passengers. Some were bouud for
Eastern Texas, for the purpose of
cultivating sugar nni^otton; some
for Northern Texas, fcr the purpose
of growing the cereal grains; mid
some for Southwestern Texas, for the
purpose of engaging in pastoral pur-
Suits, such as raising horses, cattle
and sheep. Well there is ample
room for them all; and may pros-
perity and happiness be their portion
in the "Louo Star State."
Gov. Orr's Reconstruction Scheme,
A special Washington dispatch to
tho Cincinnati Gazette, of the 21
ult., eays:
Gov. Orr's schome of reconstruc-
tion is being vigorously urged. It is
substantially universal amnesty for
universal suffrage, except that the
South is not to grant suffrage till the
Northern States agree to do the same.
It is claimed by Southern men that
President Johnson and certain mem-
bers of tho Supreme Court are now
committed to the plan. Few. Con-
gress-men favor the project, while
most denounce it as a flank move-
ment in favpr of the President.
Scene on a Sleeping Car.
An amusing scene occurred oti a
sleeping car on the Pennsylvania
Railroad last Sunday morning. The
Governor of Colorado—Cummings
we believe, is his name—was
passenger 011 a train coming West
and had engaged two berths in a
sleeping car. He had for traveling
companions a hairless specimen of the
canine species- -one of the Mexican
breed of pups—a "horrid ugly brute,'
and an American citizen of African
descent—to say nothing of other
scents—who was the possessor of ful
ly as much ugliiifss, if not more, than
the dog. The "Gov." was on the
point of conducting his com pan ions
du voyage into the sleeping car, when
ho was politely informed by the c.011-
The Wytheville Dispatch relates
this singular story t
Mr. Peter Butner, of this town, a
sort of preacher, who has always con-
tended that he uever would (lie, and
had consequently cautioned histrieuds
not to be too hasty iu burying him U
death should appureutly saute him in
its cold embrace, wus thrown into
some sort of a trance, a few days siuce,
by which life woe, to ull appearances,
eutirely extinct. His friends, re-
membering the warning he had given
them, gave heed to it, and kept his
body out of the grave for five days,
at the end of which time uuiuistakable
signs of life appeared in Peter's body ;
aud iu a few hours he was himself
ag¡ ii. *
¡Tfanouic Tribute of Ke-
pcct—Death of Joseph
T. Bell.
Whekeah, it has pleased the Supreme
Architect of the Universe to /emote from
our midst our lamented brother, Joseph
T. Bell, who wus one of the oldest us
well as most exemplary members of our
Lodge. That' in the death of brother
Uell this Lodge has lost a member whose
social and Masonic virtues were unim-
peachable, Therefore,
'Resulted, That we deeply deplore his
loss and feel that his death htis created a
broach iu our circle of Brotherhood which
is irreparable.
Resolved, That we highly esteemed
bro:her Bi:i.l as a man aud a Mason,
11 nd that we havo regarded him as a kind
bmbnnd and indulgeut father, and that we
sympathize with his surviving wife
and children iu their berouvemcnt.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
spread upon the minutes, and that we
wear tho usual badge of mourning lor
thirty days; and that a Masonic burial be
given to our deceased brother at San
Felipe on the 17th day of March next.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolu-
tions be furnished to the family of the
deceased, and also published iu the Texas
Countryman.

For such work n y prices will be a*

factory to botli parties.
My Office is the back room, up stairs,
over the Store of my frauds, 13. &. A.

should I be absent on business.
As I desire work for tho support of my-
