For the last eight sir ten weeks Hoods of rain
bare fallen,—more, I think, than I erer saw fall
in the same length of time, causing the new
year to make its appearance with very muddy
feet. About a year ago, a writer in the Hous
ton Telegraph, who appeared to be an old citi
zen, aaaeTted that Texas was subject to decades
of wet and dry weather. Such was the tradition
among the Mexicans, and his own experience
went to confirm its troth. From 1834 to 1844,
tho seasons were dry. From 1844 to IBM, the
seasons wore wet. Again, from IBM to 18C4,
they ware dry.. The seasons that bars elapsed
from 1864, lute certainly been wet There is
one comfort, if there is truth in this writer’s
assertion—we will this year, be more than half
over tho wet decade. Dry seasons are much

Not far below Bryan City, a week or ten days
ago, some men got into an altercation about a
hone, which resulted in the death of four of
them. I mean the alteroatora—not the horse.
It is needless to sdd that they were desperadoes.
The result tells that plain enough.
This is almost equal to the death of the four
men that resulted in your own State from an
