He Wanted 10 Marry.

One month ago young man about
twenty-one years age of named Thomas
Riley arrived in Dallas with II view of
settling down for life. Thomas from
his personal appearance does not look
like he had any too much mother wit
to spare and his experience and ac-
lions here since his arrival plainly
proves that there are some good
grounds for the superstition. He had
been In the city only few
days when he made the
acquaintance of a fair female named
Kate Lowe, whose reputation is
not like Caesars wife. Thomas was
smitten at first sight, and from that time
he has been most constant in his atten-
lions, all of which were received by
Katharine in the most gracious man
ner. A few days since, Thomas think
ing that matters were propitious, pro-
posed and received favorable answer,
and the promise that she would be his
on the following Friday, which was
yesterday. The expectant groom
made things ready and requested
Judge Burford to solemnize the nup-
tials Yesterday morning at the time
appointed the expectant lover put in
his appearance and with detected air
informed His Honor that his sweet
heart refused to come to time. The
Judge, aprreciating good joke, sum-
moned Sheriff Barley, who, on learn
ing the facts of the case, told Thomas
to come back at three o'clock and he
would bring the hesitating fair one
and make her marry him. This SEEM
ed to brighten the disconsolate youths
woe-begone countenance, and he
took his departure with hope once
more filling his anxious bosom. Just
before three o'clock His Honor notified
a number Of young gentlemen, some
OF them considerable ways, and, when
the loving Thomas made his appear

The above combination will COM
mence u two nights engagement
at Fields theatre next Wednes
day night. We have meyer had
the pleasure of seeing the troupe,
but they come to us heralded by the
most tlattering notices from the press
throughout the entire country. Below
we append an article clipped from the
Chicago Tribune:
Notwithstanding the horrible weather
very large audience assembled at this
house last evening to witness the ini-
tial performance of "Minnie's Luck
or the Ups and Downs of New York
Life" by the Wallace Sisters, Jennie,
Minnie and Maud. The drama is a
good one, of the sensational order, en-
anating from the fertile pen of John
Brougham, the celebrated dramatist,
and was received with marked appro-
baton and unstinted applause by the
audience. Miss Jennie, as minnie
Rock" and "Clara Willoughby, a
dual role, made q decided hit, her
pretty face and sparkling acting gain
Ing at once the thorough good will of
the audience. Misses Minnie and
Maud, the little ones, gained fresh
laurels by their clever personation of
the characters of 'Inky Dick" a
printers devil, and "Spotty," a news
boy, in which they introduce several
songs and dances, and most artistic
clog dance, which was thrice encored.
The company supporting the Wallace
Sisters Is a Grong one.
The other theatres were not very
well attended, the unfavorable condi-
ton of the weather affecting them, as
might be expected.
