A CYPRESS WEDDING.
Yours trrlly,

A correspondent writing from Fort
Walsh gives the following description Of 4
wedding which recently took place at the
Fort:
"Miss Nancy Shagarin, a blooming half
breed maiden, was recently married to
Mr.. Frank Fitzgerald, Major Walsh oniei
atn8. The biushing bride was tastefully
attlred in a neat and becoming costume,
consisting Of q single blanket and pair
OF new moccasins. During the ceremony
she was quite composed, her jaws working
violently IN masticating huge roll Of
chewing gum. When the critical moment
arrived and the ali-important question was
asked: Will you take this man to be your
welded Ansband?' She promptly respond

gum. Frank looked remarkably we'll Ii

and at the wedding breakfast, which took
place the following morning, made quite
an extensive speech, He spoke Of the
great resources Of the country, the eharac

Another Fossil Sharn.
Fort WALSH, Februar

FORT ALSI, February, lS4 l.
To the Editor Of the Record:
was rather surprised to see mentioned
in the last issue of the RECORD that reached
us, the circumstance Of my summer resi-
dence being entered, while the family were
all away, and vaIuables to the amount of
about two dollars and fifty cents taken
therefrom. The worthy author of the Cy-
press Hills gossip is very presentable
little man and quite an ornament to socie-
ty; and no one appreciates talent, when
harmlessly displayed, more than | do
But between ourselves, Mr.. Editor, during
his labors here in the Hills, digging in the
bowels of the harmless earth for fossils
and other cur:osities, many ofhis intimate
friends noticed with feelings ofregret that
while he was extracting bis specimens, lie
was burying his brains His ambition for
months past had been to discover some
rare curiosity, the antiquity Of which would
render his name immortal After much
labor and many sleepless nights, the hid
den treasure was discovered in the shape
ola specimen, pronounced by him 10 be the
tooth ofsome huge animal, "now extinct"
that existed in all probability 500 years be-
fore the food. The specimen was produc-
ed for the inspection Of a gentleman ofun-
doubted experience in that line ofscinnce,
and, strange to relate, but nevertheless
true, the rare specimen, the large tooth
out of the huge animal, turned out to be
one of Watson's broken billiard balls, /
probably carried off and dropped BY some
little Indian boy. A choking sensation
seized the fossil hunter, but he stood it like
man, and departed the next day for Ben
ton in cheerful spirits.

Messrs I. G. Baker & Go, shipped 10000
pounds ofmerchandise, to their post at Ft
Mcleod, per Dexter & Mcmahon, freight

ave noticed a number ofagricultnral impIe-

cousins across the line are going to do
"Somo tilling Of the soil" during the com
Ing season. Farming in the North West,
however, is by ne means novelty. Near
TT. Edmonton, the Hudson Bay Co, work
cd farm for over thirty years, and it is
said that the crops only failed two or three
times. Barley and potatoes were consider.
ed sure crops, and thousand bushels of
wheat have been raised from sowing a
hundred, A writer speaking of the agri-
cultural prospects of that country, says:
"aSome observers long resident in the coun-
try, declare that the fertile belt practically
means the whole distance between the
North and South Saskatchewan and other
vast regions to the East, North and North
west, especially broad belt to the south
of Edmonton, Zone hundred miles long by
fifty broad, the home Of the BIackfeet, and
pronounced by many to be the garden OF

Hon. sanes Arnoux on Blue Glass.
"Blue, blue, as if that sky let fall
A flower from its ceralean wall ~


We are informed by the Hon. J. NJ. Ar.
noux, cur most prominent farming man ot
the "H;ghwood range" !" that the biue-light
advantages applied to the vegetable and
animal kingdoms are by no means new
thing.
His theory of the effect of the cerulean
sun ray is very lucid, and when iaterrogat-
ed by our reporter upon the subject, it ap-
peaIed al once to the latter's understand
ing.
Said he: %lAll large and fully matured
things are blue. Do you see? The sky
is blue, the Democratic party has the blues,
the Devil is blue and HI and d-nation
are supposed to be enveloped in blue"
"But, stop" suggested the reporter
"Can you give me any proof of the effect
of this wonderful ray, something tangible,
something that has come under your per
sonal observation; ia fact, something that
can be given to the public with view TO-
wards public benefit ?"
II will give it to you in about five sec
onds!" replied Mr. Arnoux, as he warmed
up with his subject. "Last summer I col
lccted an immense body Of BLUSH mist
over my farmfelds. After a few days Of
sunshine the grajndelds were covered with
a luxurious growth of blue-bells, blue-curls,
blue-bottles, blue-berry bushes and other
bluets-all in full bloom; the vast plain
swarmcd with blue-birds, blue throats and
blue-breastsl"
"What 6ue crop you must have had !"
calculated our reporter.
"Of course I had!" yelled out the Hon.
gentleman; ut gave me terrible fit of
the blues. I took sick over it, and they
gave me blue pills; and if you don't get
away from me in less than no time, I'll put
a pair of blue eyes where they viii do the
most goodl"
Here our reporter very audibly dze1o his
nose and wilhdrew ualder cover Of blue

THE STRIK E..
GREAT POPULAR CONNECTION IN
BALTIMORE!!

Special correspondence to THE HERALD.
Last night, about nine o'clock, the City
of Baltimore was thrown into the widest
excitement by demonstration on the part
of the citizens to sustain the strikers on the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Early In the
evening the Fifth Maryland Regiment was
ordered on duty to protect the trains along
the road and enable them to run on time.
The regiment Immediately formed al the
Armory and proceeded to march to the
depot. On arriving there upwards Of ter
thousand men had assembled prepared to
defend the strikers and prevent the depart
ure ofthe regiment. The most intense cons
motion prevailed. Engines were displaced,
cars destroyed and officers and train. mer
driven from their post of duty. The --latest
accounts left the strikers in possession of
the depot, thus rendering the departure Of
trains mere impossibility.'
