DALLAS DALLAS COUNTY
DALLAS HERALD.
IM MIGRATION.
We nppenr in !hs nbovs enllllcil cauio
wtlh full spprtolalion of its beneflls to our
eo'lre staltj and firm conviction of His
mognituilo of Interest represented when
applied to our own City axd Copmtt or
Dallas.
That immigration is one of our first ne
cessities to the deTolnpmetit of the coun
try is patent; then tha question arises
and it la the only point in question upon
this subject Tfhat nietins ean we adopt
which will most promote tho sohetne of
bringing and lobaltnft settlers upon our
thousands of rich uncultivated acres.
Thorn are a thousand and one measures
well caloulatcd to adranoe the enterprise
mnny of which liowover are not available
then fore of no living use.
Did tho world around us know such
things of the country as are known by us
the problem would stand solved for wo
are convinced that tlicro exists in no otho r
quarter of the globe so grand a combina-
tion of inducements to peopled of all na-
tionalities creeds or conditions in life as
can be offered by Northern Texas. 0-tr
Inws provido for tho accomplished posses-
sion of cheap homes for the poor laborer
they prolec t and (when Some of an obnoxi-
ous character shall have been expunged
as they will be) foster the interests of the
poor and rich alike. Cheap and fertile
lands genial climate nnd the Jblcssings
of health together with our advanced state
of civilitation and public improvement
combine to make our section one of the fin-
est upnn earth. We do not propose to do-
vote space and time io a statement of facts
known to evety citizen of this country for
as this article is directed to our own peo-
ple it would provo simply superfluous.
In asmuch as tne know of the goods the
Gods have given us and in consonanci
with tho line of argument proposed at the
outset that others would come and enjoy
with us Ifioso blessings did tbey but know
their extent and beneticenoe the only
thing then is to adopt measures whereby
this knowledge may be disseminated Let
a plain unvarnished ttattment of faett go
before the people setting forth our advan-
tages all and singular the nature of soil
and climate the produots of the ono nnd
influences of the other the health of the
country market fnollities prices of labor
and ef staple necessities of life our rail-
road facilities now and in future our
bridges churches schools and the many
other works of tho hand of civilisation and
progress the combined and in other sec-
tions unknown advantages of an advan-
ced stale of eivilization existing in the
midst of thousands upon thousands of
aores of fine productive lands unclaimed
and unpurchased ant) 01 hers in possession
that can be purchased for a mero song
whioh aro worth aotually this moment fif-
ty fold their cost.
Let these things be known amongst tbe
deniiena of high-prioed worn out lands
in tbe older states nnd the hard-fisted yeo-
men across the waters whose wildest
dream nevor reaches the altitude of fea
simple possession of a rood of land nnd
who can doubt the result a result full or
increased prosperity to ourselves and those
who come to aid and share therein.
The County of Dallas containing 670-
000 aores of land with a population of
about 20000 souls all told ; the City or
Dallas a population of some 7000 and
growing at the rate of at least fifty por-
tent per annum in all the branches of im-
provement. It is;simply the provtnee of this article
le suggest ways and means looking to an
intitial move in this matter and it occurs
to us that eoncerled action either organi-
sed or Informal upon the part of our old
eitixens could but result in grtat good to
our city and county.
We understand that steps had been ta-
ken in the matter some time since and
from our understanding of the proposed
line of action; think the accomplishment
of tha scheme would meet all the ends
aimed at. We however would go further
than the issuance of a "circular" setting
forth the many graoious endowments of
tbe country and would charge the com
mittee having tbia important matter in
hand with the additional duly of collecting
specimens of our produots that they may
be placed In the hands ef our Stale Com-
missioners to the World's Fair at Tieuna
to occur during the oomlng year and that
arrangement! be made looking to the per-
fect aud faithful representation of this
immediate vicinity at that great expo
sition.
We believe it would pan our own and the
counties around us to carefully prepare
statement of tbe material advantages of
this country printed in English German
and French to accompany the living wit
n esses in tbe shape of produots of soil and
mine to Vienna.
This opportunity will not ocenr again
soon and while oldogj tit inndt and fire
out may exclaim against so much coet onr
faith is firm that lb means will not be
wanting if the proper men take hold of the
matter. We are not in the habit of sug-
gesting in tbe presence ef enperior wis-
dom sor prophesying in the face of expe-
rience but in the capacity ef a journal-
ist loving the e in try of which we form a
very email constituent part we make
these suggestions and should action fol-
low rest contented as to tbe verification of
onr prophetie vision.
A miller Attempting to be witty
at the expense of a youth of wottk
intellect Accosted him with "John
people say that yon are a fool." On
this Jobo replied "I don't know
that I am sir. I know eome
things sir and some things I don't
know." "Well John what do yu
know?" "I know that millers al-
ways bare fat bogs sir." "And
what don't yoa know 1" "I don't
know whose corn they eat sir."

Natural Curiosity The Deer House-
On the head of Clark's Fork of the Co-
lumbia Uiver io a very interesting valley
twelve or fifteen miles long and six or
eight miles broad surrounded by a very
lofty range of snow clad mountains ; this
valley is watered by innumerable small
streams flowing fro-n the ravines of the
surrounding mountains and finding egress
from the vulloy in one prinoipal stream
flowing through a gorge of abrupt and
preoipitory rocks. About the middle of
this valley may be eeen a very conspicu-
ous lnnd mark ; this is nn ash colored
mound resembling an Immense bay stack.
Of a cold morning a column of smoke is
seen issuing from its summit and asoend-
ing to a great height in the air. On ap-
proaching this object it proves to be a boil-
ing spring surrounded by self formed
cement. The water is seen at an npper-
ture at the top of the mound resembling
the lip of an immense jug. The water boils
over depositing a yellow and greenish
slime that finally hardens into cement.
The water emits sulphurions gasses ex-
tremely offensive and reminds one of the
proximity of a certain hot place but a
short distance below. It is also saline and
Deer are frequently seen lioking around
it flenoe tbe name. The water is so hoi
that tho finger cannot be borne in it an
instant. Groups or clusters of similar
springs are found in several plaoes; for
instance on tbe head of the Yellow Stone
River and Salt Fork of Snake River and
near th Soda Springs; yet an isolated or
solitary spring of this kind is no where
else to be found.

Perhaps there is no place in the Rocky
Mountains where beauty and sublimity
are more intimately blended than at tbe
Little Lake. This sheet of clear and trans-
parent water is ten or twelve miles loog
and eix er eight miles broad hemmed in
by large mountains rarely accessible. On
the northern shore the rocks descend per-
pendicularly thousands of feet and are lost
In the profound depths of the lake below.
Oa the southern shore tbe mountains are
less abrupt and one may descend with
great fatigue but no great personal dan-
ger to the shore. On the east the surf
rolls and braks on a sandy shore remind-
ing one ef Old Ocean. At the western ex-
tremity tbe outlet finds its way through
dark chasms and abrupt precipices final-
ly emptying into Bear River near the
Soda Springs. The ravines of the adja-
cent mountains are filled wita trees aad
brush wood which in the fall present a
picture of surpassing loveliness. The fo-
liage it the trees there present every tint
f colors from the brightest scarlet to
browm. These with the sublime mountains
that enclose them are reflected on the
glassy stillness of the water and taken in
connection with green islands and wood-
ed prononlariea countless flocks of swans
and pelicans that float ia undisturbed se-
en rity over th bosom cf the placid waters
contrasting with the hnge mountains ef

Col- Thomas Wm- Ward .
From the Austin Sla tesman.
It becomes our painful duty to
announce that Col. Thomas Wm.
Ward ono of tho Inst heroes of
Tnvna lnnntnr1 tbia lifn nn thfl
night of llio 24lh of November at
Ins homo in this piare. no was
buried with the honors of Masonry
nnd Odd Fellowship and u large
civio attendance to-day in the
Stato Cemetory. Tho various de-
partments woro closed in honor to
his memory nnd the flag on the
Capitol has been half-mast and
many business houses have boon
closod In honor to this brave old
hero.
Col. Ward was born in thocliy
of Dublin in the year 1807; and
was appointed a cadet in tbe mili-
tary school of tho East India Com
pany at tbo age ol fifteen.. In
1827 ho left London for the United
States and soon after proceeded to
New Orleans where ho pursued
his inherited profession of enginoer
and architect until tho breaking'
out of tho war in Texas. Ho had
acquirod n handsome fortune ; but
his ardent tempor was kindled by
the outrages of tho Mexicans
againts our countrymen and ho
raised and equipped with his own
resources a company of Vdttinleofs
known ns tho "Louisiana (rroys"
at tho head of whom ho marched to
Texas and arrived at Velusco on
tho 5th of October 1835. In tho
evcr-to-bo-rcmembered sanguina-
ry bntilo of San Antonio do Boxar
whero all woro bravo Capt. Ward
at tho head of an artillery compa-
ny was conspicious among tho
most conspicious. A force of about
1200 meh tindor command of Gen.
Ed. Burleson had boon concentra-
ted near San Antonio in Novem-
ber 1835. It was believed that
owing to tho scarcity of artillery
an attack upon the town was not
advisable ns it was dofondod by
30 piecos of canon and 500 vetoran
troops under Oien. Cos the broth-in-law
of Santa Anna. Theroforo
on tho 4th of December 1835 Gen.
Burleson issued an order for the re-
treat of tlio Texan army to Goliad
to quarter for the winter; the ar-
my to bo put in motion after sun-
set of tho same day. Many of the
Texans preferring to spend tho
Winter at their homCSj did not
wnit tlio timo of sunset but loft in
squads during the day. When the
timo nrrivod at which the army
was to move few were left ; tho
greater nnmber of whom were vol-
nntoers from tho United States.
That evening information was re-
ceived from ft llettlehnnt who had
desorted from Cos's army that the
Texans could enter San Antonio
without much risk. The volun-
teers and some Texans theroupon
determined to attempt tho capturo
of tho town nnd clocted Col. Bon.
t Atiinm ni their chief. That
night tho mon busiod thomsolves
1nnnrnnarincr thoir arms and the
artillery forsorvlce. Two pieces

artillery in command of Col. Franks
and Cant. "VrJ tho wholo force
undor Milam numboring Zixmen.
Tho Mexicans undor Gen? Cos
numbered 500 men. Col. Noil op-
ened fire upon tho Alamo before
Hnvrlirrhf. nf the morninfr of the 5th
of Deccmbor and tho forco nndor
Milam loft their camp ai aayorens
for the attack having nearly a
milo to march from their cmp to
tho town. As soon as Milam gained
tho suburds of tho toWfi ho divided
his forco Into two divisions the
loft under command of Col. John-
son who advanced and took pos-
session of tho Voramondi House
from tho roof of which their riflos
did good execution and kept the
Mexicans in check. Milam with
his division and two pieces of ar-
mory took possossion of the Garza
IiouBO both divisions holding thoir
positions against superior numbers
supported by 30 pieces of artillery.
Our largest piece a nine pounder
was soon disabled. Upward of 20
of the small company of artillery
were hora do combat in a few min-
utes although none woro killed.
Ahnnr. 11 nVlnp.k A. M.. CaDt. Ward
lost his right log by a canon shot ;
bis place was soon filled by a Mr.
Alexander who was shot through
both lungs and died some days af-
terwards. That night a trench
wn. out anrnsB the street unitine
both divisions of our little army.
Burleson in tno moanumo was nut.

'r.rr.nomnnt of 800 mon. under Col.

could muster out of those who re-
turned to camp on hearing the
gnns of the action ho tried to cut
off their roinforeemsnt bnt failed.
Ugartachea joined Cos on the 8th.
Milam was killed on the 6th in the
trench connecting his two divi-
sions by a rifle ball in the head.
His body and Ward's leg were
buried in the same grave. Ward
and Milam bad been intimate
friends. After tbe death of Milam
the command devolved upon CoL
Johnson. The Texas artillery be-
ing cut np by the Mexican fire and
rendered useless the volunteers cut
their way through tbe houses front-
ing the riaea and from the win-
dows did good execution among the
Mexicans who were massed in the
Plasa. The Mexican cannon be-
ing of small calibre bad not the-
power to make a Dreacn in tne
houses occupied by the Texans
hence they were at tbe mercy of
the rifles of tbe vol on tee. s and
surrendered on the 10th when
Geo Burlo&ton cams and signed
WHOLE NUMBER 1001.
the articles agreod upon betwoon
Cos nnd Johnson.
The Toxans had in this engage-
ment five killed nnd about forty
wounded. Tho Mexican loss in
killed is said to bo over 300 nnd
about tho same number woundod.
Tho terms of the surrender were
that the Mexicans should dolivor
t3 tbe Texans thoir arms nmmuni
tlon nnd nrtillory and all military
storos nd return to Mexico novor
after to tako up arms against Tex-
as: reserving for evory tonth man
a musket and ten rounds of cat-
tridges to protect them in thoir re-
turn to Mexico from the Comanche
Indians.
Capt. Ward thon returned to
Now Orleans and roceived n regi-
ment of mounted men nnd was
commissioned Colonel try President
Burnott. ' He returned to Texas in
May 1836 and sorved in the cam-
paign with Gen. Rusk.
At a subsequent poriod Colonel
Ward lost an arm whilo firing a
salute in honor of the indepondonco
of Texas. 8oon afcr tho indepen-
dence of Texas was achieved (in
1840 or 18411 he was appointed
commissioner of the Goneral Land
Office which position ho held for
seven or oicht years and tho re
cords of that office give evidence of
his high oxocutive ability.
Ho Tins been Mayor of Austin
four times botween 1840 nnd 18G5.
In 1853 bo was appointod Consul
at Panama which position ho fill
ed with distinguished ability. In
the winter of 1807 ho was appoint
ed collector of customs at Cor
pus Christi whioh office ho held
for two years. He was a candi-
date for Commissioner of the Gen-
eral Land Office in 1S69 being de-
feated. In polities Col. Ward lias
always been a Democrat of tho
Jackson school. He was opposod
to secession and did all ho could
towards allaying bitterness of feet
ing.
Col. Ward was ono of nature's
noblomcn a thoroughly informed
man industrious and prompt in
bis business habits wroto finely
with his left hand and possessed
weight of character seldom met
with.
But the old patriot and horo is
none. Like the woathor-benten
oak which has been shorno of its
limbs and thon prostrated by tho
storm he has fallen nnd the quiet
tomb envelops all that remain of a
perfect man.

The Epizootic.
This drend disease ia certninly
upon us. Wo visited last evening
almost every livery stable and
havo good reason to believe that it
exists to a greater or less extent at
all of them.
At tho Eclipso stable there aro
ono or two well developed cases.
At tho other stable corner ot Post-
office and 24th streets belonging
to Gregory and Bartlott howevor
nearly all ot thorn aro more less af-
fected. At Stighort's stable hocow-
fessea that all of tlictn have the dis-
ease and ho is smoking them with
coal tar. At Heller's stable tlicy
all havo tho disense and aro con
stantly coughing. At tho City
Railroad stablo wo learned at it
lato hour last evening that five
mules havo tho disease Wo should
not be surprised at any timo io
hear of a suspension of tho running
of tho cars if the disease continues
to spread.
We have heard also of a great
many dray horses and mules nnd
ono or two buggy horses that woro
attacked yesterday on tho streets.
So far as weenn learn from tliorto
who have been whero it prevailed
as well as from the telegrams and
tho newspapers tho diseaso itself
doos not appear to bo very fatal
unloss pneumonia or lung fover in-
tervenes. From what wo ean learn
of tho diseaso tho moment the
symptoms of tho diseaso mako
theii appcaranco the animal should
havo rest and prompt medical
treatment. This should bo contin-
ued until tho animal is thoroughly
recovered as there is great dungcr
of relapse or that tho diseaso may
asBumo a more malignant typo.

Poulson we yesterday afternoon
visited the livery stnblo of Mr.
Frcund near tlio iron bridge and
thoro wo found as many ns fifty
horses suffering from tho epidemic.
A cough running nt the nostrils
gcnoral languor and nn inclination
to Btiffnoss of tho limbs aro the
most markod characteristics of tho
disease Mr. Frennd has closed his
stable His horses fere not allowed
to go out for any purpose. Dr.
Cooper veterinary surgeon has
them nndor trcntmont and Miinks
in ten days tho stablo will bo clear
of tho disease Evory horso is kept
closely blanketed; is exercised at
intervals along tho stablo walks
and is drenchod with some prepa-
ration the doctor cees. We observe
horRCgand other vehicles cough-
ing on Iho street and shall expect
tho disease to be qnito prevalent in
a fow days. It is not considered
dangerous hardly ever kills but
may last much longer and leave
the horse injured in his system if
too long worked or exposed after
ho is attacked. Tbo best plan
whenever a horso begins coughing
is to take him from work blanket
him. and keep his nostrils drenched
out.
A novel custom has been intro-
dncod in some of our fashionable
houses. Every visitor that calls is
requested to sign their names in a
handsome visitidg book. Not a
bad idea. Visiting cards are sel-
dom preserv-d although some la-
dies do paste them in books and
in after pears tbey are looked
with rnuck interest.
