gold medal, for proficiency In vocal
and Instrumental music. TIE HER
AID has recently had occasion to mo-
tlce the success Of the young ladies' OF
Dallas, in ncadimies and colleges
abroad, and In this Instance, we take
pleasure IN paying tribute to the high
merits Of one Of Dallas most amlable
aud lovely daughters.
Judge Burford has 80 far in this
year married upwards of forty couples.
II seems they came from all parts, far
aud near to have the Judge perform
the delicate ceremony, and no further
gone than yesterday morning a happy
couple, whose names we did not learn,
from near Cedar IIlll called upon him
to make them ~ one" They say he
has peculiar mack of doing the busi-
ness up quick, and don't keep poor
fellow standin' trembling before him
for an hour"
--Messrs. Douglas, Whitney e. Co.,
the pioneer candy manufacturers Of
Dallas, are meeting with the encour-
ment due persistent aud well-directed
energy. 1t requires the best efforts of
their worlkmen, day and night, to meet
the immense demand, aud they give
notice this morning that 1t will be I'm
possible to fiji orders from the trade
until after the Holidays, as their retail
trade IL quite as much ms they can
manage. TO meet the desires Of the
public, this firm has concluded
to open two branch establishments IN
the city--one at Common ~ Walkers
drug store, which will be ready to-day,
and one on the premises next door
west OF Blake e. Jenkins, Elm street.
The deserved success of this house
proves thOt those friends given by God
to the poor--Time, Faith, Energy and
Judicial Advertising ARE not appeal
ed to IN vain.
Attention IL called to the Procla-
nation of the Governor ordering the
election on the third Tuesday (the 18th
day. of February next. The officers to
be elected are Governor, Lieutenant
Governor, Comptroller of Public Ac-
counts, State Treasurer, Commissioner
of the General Land Office, Attorney
General, Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court, two Associate Justices of the
Supreme Court, three Judges of the
Court Of Appeals, one Judge of District
Court for each Judicial District, thirty
one Senators and ninety-three Repre-
sentatiyes, one County Judge, one
County Clerk, one District Clerk, one
County Treasurer, one County Survey
or, one Sheriff one Assessor OF taxes,
one Inspector of Hides and Animals,
and one Collector OF Taxes in certain
named counties, Justices of the Peace
in each county of the State rs provided
| for by the county, and four County
Commissioners in each county. Fol-
particulars reference is made to the adj
vertisement.
We believe that 1t Is an estab-
lished custom, If not an ordinance OF
the Presbyterian church, to close all
matters pertaining to religious wor-
ship with benediction. If correctly
informed, this well-known rule was
somewhat forcibly varied last Sunday.
After very eloquent and interesting
sermon by the minister officiating, and
the solemn benediction had been ut.
tered Mr.. Cornell arose to his feet from
the audience, stating that he had re-
quest to make. The pastor, Rev. DR.,
Smith, remarked that all matters were
closed with the accustomed benedic.
ton. Mr.. Cornall, however, disre-
garded this admonition, and said that
he would state to the assembly that
that particular sermon would be fully
answered by him on some future occa-
sion. 1t possibly is not our province
to judge of this gentleman's conduct,
but 1t occurs to us as being somewhat
obtrusiye; at least, we belive, part OF
the c0nsegration so felt.
