WEDDlNG-A Missouri paper gives a de-
tailed account of how betrothed couple were
persuaded to anticipate the day set for the we'd
ding, and to have the ceremony abruptly per-
formed at a birthday party, at which they
cha0ced to be guests. 1t says: Recorder
Tbeis was also present, and as soon as he saw
the young couple come in, with an eye to busl-
uess he suggested that if anybody was present
who wished to be married he was at their ser
vice. The young couple at once took the hlnt.
The young man was willing, but the maiden
Was backward and would not consent. Adam
Concluded to use little diplomacy, so ne says:
/ will make present of a thirty.hve dollar
cooking stove to any couple that shall marry
tonight. This proposition so delighted the
company that others commenced offering pre-
seuts. F. G. Mueller said, 1 will give nice
bureau;' +. G. Ahlers, 'aud aspiring mattress;
chair Miller, the gunsmith, I'll give set OF
cushion bottom chairs MIR. Volk, and here $
an extension table, Mrs. Anna Notebook, I'll
give fifty dollar bedstead Mr.. Gatz, put me
down ior q fine looking glass; Mrs. Mitchell,
Here's breakfast SET Miss Fritz Notebook,
Ngive clock; and so they went on until
The presents 10 the aggregate amounted to
about four hundred dollars, the young couple
meanwhile blushing and hardly knowing what
tosay or do. Several friends of the young lady
got around her and told her she would not
again have such a favorable opportunity to
'uake start in the world; and Just as the
party was breaking up. about eleven O'Clock,
Nr. Huustock. who seemed to be working 10
Adams interest and urging on the match,
came round to the Recorder, aud whispered 10
his ear: Stop leedle, dat's al! right-by
ehinks, We got Wedding anyhow poody soon !,
Adam called halt, and the company stood
still 10 hats and bopnets, while the Recorder
proceeded and said i pronounce you man and
Vile, and may God bless you, and Miss STERN
Was Mrs Green, to the intense delight OF all
present"

1t has been established, by careful
computation, that the wheat crop of
Texas for 1872, averaged twenty-five
bushels to the land planted, and sixty
five pounds to the buslel in weight.
Still another establishes the fact that
the yield for last year, and the most
profitable field for 1873, will, after sup
plying all demands for home consump-
tion, leave the producers of Dallas
county, u surplus from that crop equal
to demands for home consumption for
veyears. Estimating the number Of
producers, In Dallass county at five
hundred, each average producer can
contribute three hundred dollars to a
remuncrate investment and reserve
more than enough at 81 per bushcl, to
provide a handsome reserve i0rcurrent
necessities, with margin for profit on
the years planting, Suppose that each
wheat grower put into "hotch-potch,n
covered by warehouse receipts, this
surplus Of two hundred bushels, on the
average, (sales secured, covered by
insurance, and that an organization
send to st. Louis IN agent, authorized
to negotiate for 100000 of funds on one
hundred thousand bushels of wheat nj

which to build q manufacturing mill

ted upon contributions of wheato
Such mill would grind in
three months 100000 bushels of wheat.
the toll ON which would more than,
pay the interest on the investment,
and leave margin for handsome
dividend, The real estate and machi-
merry of such an establishment Justify
n certain calculation of five per cent
premium ON the stock at the end of
three months from completion. An
average price of Us cents per bushel for
wheat would in two years return the
original investment Of the grain con-
tributcd, and leave the stock in the
hands Of holders al. a premium, ms
profits on the investment.
In view ofthe advantages from rail-
roads traverslng Texas, and leading bv
different routes to Western markets,
the eyes OF entcrprising foreign manu-
facturers are directed to the wheat
crop of Texas. Why should st. Louis
manufacture our wheat into ilour 10

tious disguise of hoops and stavese
Farmers of Dallas county, give car to
the admonition! Capitalists, mer.
chants, consumers, all who have Mt
heart the development Of Texas-tbe
present and future Egypt Of the United
States--give ear to timely admonition.
and arise to the emergency, Dallas
should and must awake TO her oppor-
tunity, and compass her pre.emincnee
