The men who were praying for rain few
days since have betaken themselves to other
branches Of religious services, for the rain is
here, and that with a vengeance. -Three
hundred Sherman people "made break
for tho cellar last night about 2 o'clock. The
misery incident to such nocturnal prone
nades is to be laid al the door of Professor
Tice.-Mrs. Jot Gunter starts for visit to
old friends and scenes in the North to-day,
and with the accomplished lady go the best
wishes Of host of friends. Jot hasn't de-
cided whether to start a singing-school or
revival service during her absence.-Mud,
bottomless and gradually growing deeper,
and the small boy is correspondingly elated
thereat-The various entertainments last
night owing to the rain, were very meagerly
attended. These entertainments we're: oher-
man Library association, at which Mrs. Stet-
son was to read lecture on astronomy, at
and a sermon by the inspirational medium
with the long name, at Summers hail.
The ladies of St. PauPs Nj. Il. church
give strawberry and ice-cream social
at the church on Thursday evening"
Some time ago party of Indians came to
the city and disposed of several horses at low
rates. The purchasers of the same recovered
from the elation caused by their good bar
gains yesterday, when Mr.. Murray, of the
Territory, came down and claimed the prop
erty, which it seems had been stolen from
him week ago last Tuesday. Officers are in
pursuit of the thieves, and then q
farmer brings in solitary bale of cotton.
Quite number of immigrants from
Missouri, bound for South Texas, passed
through town yesterday. The indefatig
able links is building up the circulation Of
his weekly paper with u velocity that makes
ones head swim.-The Fourth of July eel
ebration is assuming colossal proportions.
Our gun club are practcing in earnest of
late---On Sund y last occurred one of
those narrow escapes from death that cause
one to shudder involuntsrily. 1t seems that
little Charlie Mann and companion strayed
out to the tank and were playing in the water.
The bottom was slippery, and one OF the lit
tie fellows fell beyond his depth.
Neither could swim, but Charlie,
with presence of mind that
would have done credit to much older
head rushed out, procured pole and by its
assistance saved his playmate. &C. w.
Batsell has sold his extensive and lucrative
livery business to Louis Dumas, of this
county. Consideration, fifteen thousand
dollars. We understand that Mr.. b. con-
templates retiring from the business alto
gether.-Ben Goodrich, esq, is here from
Arizona in good health and spirits, but we
are informed that he will return t an early
day-Sherman has done nobly in the work
of contributing to the necessities of the
sufferers at Savoy. Nearly one Thousand
dollars in cash has raised, besides, provisions
clothing, etc, to the value Of many hundret
dollars more. Charity that is kind and un
selfish benevolence are by no means qualities
that are unknown upon theearth to-day
The Myers house is quiet, elegant anC
comfortabe.--Af fact that is beginning to
dawn Upon our people is that our police
force, however faithful they are in the dis
charge of their duties, is by no means largo
enough In such times AS this, when thu
town is swarming with crowd of worthless
vagabonds, it is certainly preposterous IL
suppose that three or four men can preserve
the peace an prevent depredations. Sher
man has never had more faithful or etiicien
officers than at present. and yet they are no
ubiquitous and they must have some rest
) 1t may be that our City Council will find tn
economy that limits this force most suici
dial thing. 1t is better to be on the safe sid
even though it does cost a littlemore money
Tonight at the residence of the bride
occurs the marriage of Mr.. G. S. Paine
and Miss Emma wainwright. Both of IT,
Young people are well known in Sherman
: MIR. 2. is ali energetic, pleasant young gentle
man admired BY all who know him, and Mis-
Emma, during long residence in this city
has endered herself to a large circle {
friends. Handsome, accomplished and or
