Editor Herald:
Orulla Texas, April 28 I have
quite a batch of news for yon. My
acconnt of Don Sabiuo's hiss turns
out to bft true and very moderate.
It seems he lost 400 head, all fe
males, mostly go a ;s, that is, kids
and weanliugs, aud a few sheep.
Snbiiiu acknowledges ii wm. his
fault. He sold all the goat skins
for 50 cents each, and thus recov
ered over $150, Mrx. The sheep
skins went for 6 or 12 cents Mxi
fcan, and few buyers.
The same rain caused a good dea
of damages to crops iu different
localities. On the other ride, from
the arroyos aud from the rise in
the river it is lower on the other
side a great deal of beans, etc.,
were lost. The corn ws two high,
aud was only benefitted. By tliu
way, they are making very much
better crops on the Mexican nide
than here At Las liarcins Aba jo,
about seven miles from us. the
arroyo brought down so much wh
ter that it ovtrflowed the bigpstero
therr, and drowned all the crop
that whs planted iu its bottom. At
the Zertuche ranche, Narcisco Lier-
naudez lost his crop of frijolas, of
which he had a great deal planted,
from thw water of La Ketadal com
ing down on him.
Here people have been as busy
as bees, planting. A great deal of
cotton is being plauted. The peo
ple have more hear: in them and
hope to have a substantial benefit.
But these rainr will not prevent
suffering here. We will not be out
of the woods till the end of tbi
harvest I hope we are in for a
change of weather. My friend re
ports having ktlled six or seven
tarantulas, and is ready to swear
that rain is coming.

On the 23rd., Teofilo Garcia a
friend of nflff was in his field
with his mother, and while she
was sleep, after the morning plant
ing, Teofilo was trying to force a
Krag cartridge into a 22-calibre
rifle. It jammed, and he tried to
push it iu with a pocket knife.
The cartridge exploded and the
ball went on its usual path but the
cover flew back in peics, and in
flicted a severe wound on the right
thumb. The shock caused Teofilo
to fall down, and his baud and
arm fell in the coals of a little fire.
His mother awakened and dragged
him away from the fire.
On the night of the 2G, Teofilo

near his business end. The mule
let fly a kick, which landed on the
left knee and seut Teofilo gallery

a great deal of prfctice) at once
rescued him, put him to bed, and
began bathing the knee with cold
water Teofilo developed alarming
chills, and a number of the family
called around for liniment. I had
none, but recommended water as
hot as ciuild be borne. It acted
like a chaim, the swelling went
down, and the patient to sleep, and
is now around.

the management placed with it. I

for the able-bodied men. Whiln we
are not suffering like the poor,
