For the Herald. LLTTLIC FROM TEXAS. Mr. Editor: Two weeks of August I npent very pleasantly on a trip by wagon to the county and town of Montague, 135 miles north west of Oltveria. This is not a test year. Crops aro universally good. Reports of wheat range from 12 to 25 bushel per aero, and corn has fallen in price from one dollar to 40 cts. in the bushel since Juno. Cotton promised well for a while, but the ravages of the fall worm have commenced. This worm bores into the bolls and forms and kills the staple. We saw along our route lamps shining in the cotton fields at night. These lamps attract the “millers” the producers of tho worm. Under the lamp is a pan of kerosene which catches and holds the blinded millers. These lamps have not proven a success. The man who uses the lamp gets the benefit of the millers from all adjacent farms where lamps are not U3ed. The details of our trip can not he given in our short space. Suf fice it to mention, only on 6 section of short crops, and that inhabited wholly by negroes, the “devil's race track,” a long, rough, Hack lane, in which even the Greenback party could hardly ‘beat the devil;’ the swarms of flies, which almost crazed our poor horses; the gentle breeze, tho watermelons and fru:ts. aDd especially our camp on Gaines ville prairie. This prairie is love ly and grand. It stretches over most of tho western half of Cooke county and its rolling surface dotted with herds of cattle was in full view from our elevated and breezy camp on a lovely August Sabbath morning. Let us turn at once to Montague. This is odo of the tier of counties bordering on Red River, and is in many respects the best county we have yet seen. There is everything in Montague to encourage the industrious poor man in his start up hill. Raw land sells here at Sl| to $2 per acre. The surface is composed of tall ridgos and wide valleys. In places it is very hilly, almost mountainous. The farm lands are in the valleys and on some of the lower ridges. Tho ridges are tim bered, The timber is post-oak, easily split. Very little under growth which has been kept down bv annually “burning off.” The valleys are free from nil vegetation save grass. To improve a farm here costs little laber. Tha land is easily cleared and may be plowed with a Georgia plow, producing well the first year. A mansion may be thrown up in 2 - days, to raise a family of eleven children in. The man who could not get a home here, ought to have his plebeian blood exhausted by mos quitoes Another advantage: On tho prairie farms joins farms as com pactly as towu lots; but there will bo excellent pasturage in Montague long after all our prairie is under fence. Ridge, valley and mound are covered with sedge grass. Land that is unfit to cultivate is green with it. This, of itself, is. worth hundreds to a farmer. Excellent water is near the sur face. The climate is salubrious. The county is marked with streams of running water. Society is “good ordinary.” In telligence and kindness by no menus diminish as you go west. Some of the Montaguera use slang, j Their “yea” is “pity hit don’t,” 'and their “nay,” “pity hit does.” A few days among the citizens, cost me, a stranger, only my to bacco, and some other fellows’ to bacco. Hospitality exists in its purity. The polish of education is not wanting, though not existing in its perfection. A fine view of the surrounding country may be obtained from the ridges and mouads We climbed a til) mound called Jim Ned Look- Out, whose summit was once oc cupied by an Indian of that name. While there a mist was falling, but we saw displayed a bird’s eye view of au interesting country—scatter ing fields of alternating green and brown, the humble cottages, the level and farreaching valleys, and tho ridges bristling with trees, combine to form a soul-stirring picture. Jim Ned looks over halt of the county and parts of other counties. Tho smoke of the engine is already in sight frota the l*t - c j Werth and Denver Road, Villages, now few and small, aro springing I .or I op along its Udo. Jim Ned Look.-0:‘ was ucentl. Isold at $3 per acre far a sheej pasture, There are several acre on its sides and the rocediug ridges. Cattle aro fe v the timber dehors large cat-tie men. J L. 8. Oliveria, Texas, Sept, o, 1832, 4t> ►- _ '1 eiiii>ci’uuce Circular, To the Baptists of Georgia: The Baptist Convention at its last scsoion in A mcricus ordered the under signed to Asue an address to the con stituents of that body upou the subject of Temperence Now in accordance therewith we publish tho following: 'i’iic Evil. The Courts of our country, die pri sons of our laud, the wasted fortunes of many citizens, the blighted hopes of many parents, tho misery of many homes, the paralyzed energies of many Christians,the confusion and disorder of many Churches and the destruction of many lives, and the everlasting loss of many soul*—all these but imperfectly measure the magnitude of the evil of Intemperance. The Hemel>. Reformation in our own lives, strict discipline in our Churches, an earnest ministry in favor of Temperaflce, sym pathy for the poor inebriate, co-opera tion with all good people in their ef forts to suppress tho evil, a generous support to all executive officers of the State in enforcing the laws touching the sale of intoxicating liquors, and an appeal to our law making powers for more stringent legislation, and a pray er to God for deliverance from the curse, is the only remedy we have for this great evil. And we beg our breth ren every where to be vigilant in the use of these moans for the protection of the people from the ravages of the terrible enemy. Encouragement. Other denominations are identifying themselves with this movement, various temperance organizations are being en dowed with vigor, judges, juries and other officers of the civil government are more faithful iu exeouting the laws touching the traffic in strong drink; many members of the Legislature have been trying to enact laws for the better suppression of this evil. Already about one-half of the territory of the State has adopted 'prohibitory laws and the demand for relief is growing stronger and more imperative every day. The outlook is hopeful. If we do our whole duty we shall, by the grace of God, be relieved, reelai mod and redeemed from their curse. G. A. NUNN ALLY, W, L. KILPATRICK, J. L. UNDERWOOD, J. G. 11YALS, J. G. GIBSON, 11. D. D.

Shut every door after you and without slamming it. 2 Never shout, jump or run in tho house. 3. Never call to persons up stairs or iu the next room ; if you wish to speak to them go quietly where they are. 4 Always speak kindly and polite ly to the servants if you would hate, them do the same to you. 5 HTien told to do, or not to do a thing by either parent, never a=k why you should or should not do it. G Tell of your own faults an i mis doings, not those of your hr. tbers and listers. 7. Carefolly clean the mud or snow off your boots before entering the house. 8. Be prompt at every meal hour. 9. Never sit down at tho tabie, or in (lie parlor, with dirty bauds or rum p!(pl !*air. p Ifn iV w v 'n:v v-rrupt any conversa t iln, but wait pattciidA 'fOttt tutu to speak. 12.

In a paper on protection to the or chard, read before the American Porn oiogical Society, by I>r. J. A War der, the various means of provisions md protection taken advantage of in various sections of the country were dwelt upon at length. Following is a summary of the list : Ridges of elevated lands or range? of nouutains across the direction of the prevailing storm will ward off the rigors. Aspect and elevation of the orchard site above the frost line prom ise favorable results. Sheltered val leys are sometimes seecessfully planted with fruits. Masses of water, with their influence upon the temperature of the air, both in winter and spring, insure the safety of crops even in high latitudes. Fogs prevent the action of frosts and are ofteu beneficial. Suioke or smudge will act as a cioud in check ing the radiation of heat that might produce a frost. All these natural features may be taken advantage of where they exist, and may be used as means of provisions by the well-inform ed orebardist. Where the sheltering woodlands have been removed, or where these do not uaturalij exist, the following means may be provided : Forests nat ural or artificial, groves or copses judi ciously placed, artificial wind-breaks or Shelter-belts at moderate intervals and set across the lines of the prevailing summer and winter winds, hedge-rows of trees between the fields, hedges for shelter, as subdivisions of the farm, and around orchards or fruit gardens, trees deciduous or evergreen scattered through the orchard, walls and close fences, particularly about the gardens. The sides of buildiugs may also be utilized. llonselioUl flint*. Corsets with the whalebones remov ed make good cleaning cloth. Onions and potatoes should be put into warm water an hour before cook ing. Rat holes may be stopped effectually by filling with broken glass and plas ter of paris. Old boot tops, cut into pieces the right si?e and lined, make good iron holders. The leather keps all heat away from the hand. To remove grease from wall paper, lay folds of blotting paper on the spi t and hoi 1 a hot i near it until the grease is absorbed. Sc-asor, new vegetables with a good deal of black pepper as wIU as with salt. There is then less danger ot their ailed mg the stomach unfavora bly. Eggs that, are to be used iu cooking should be put in cold water iu summer, while you are making your prepara, tions to use them. Then break each one separately into a cup, to see it it is good.

JOSHUA HILL, Chairman Sept. 1, 1882. American En|ci*|*ri** No invention of the nineteenth cen tury has worked a greater revolution in household economy or conferred more of a benefit on humanity than the sewing uiaehine. The first productions were crude and uncouth io tho extreme, and it was re served for American skill and ingenu ity to bring forth a machine of any practical value. In order to appreciate the great ad vancement which lias taken place it is only necessary to compare one of the machines built during the infancy of the invention with one of the latest improved “Light Running New Home.’ In the manufacture of this ma chine old ideas have been discarded, and in accordance with the progref sivc movement of the age new mechan ical principles have been substituted of such absolute value as cannot fail to commend themselves to the most casual observer. For all kinds of domestic and manu facturing work the “New Home” is unequalled. All tbe really good points contained in other machines have ben utilized iu its construction. Many new im provements and devices ha e also been added, the result of which is a machine as nearly perfect os it is possible to makeone For simplicity, durability, ease of management, and capacity for work, the “Light Running New Home" has no rival, and the happy possessors of one may rest assured that he or she has the very best tlie world affords. AH who send for the Company’s new illustrated catalogue, and enclose their advertisement (printed on another page,) will receive a set of advertising novelties of value to card collectors.
