Captain A. Bradshaw, one of the oldest
and leading attorneys at the Waxahachie
bar, is quits siCk.--The epidemic smong
tie horses here seems to manifest itself in its
most yrulent form. Some of the finest and
most valuable animals have fallen victims to
lis rAvages within the past few days. The
veterinary surgeons here have signally failed
TO effect cure in single instance. The
present disesse is much moro fatal than was
the epzootic in the winter of lS72--Cot-
ton is ION BOOM" to-day. 1t is selling at
8 to 10 ga cents, with but little in the mar
ket. There are several thousand bales lying
here awaiting shipment. The cotton buyers
are complaining severely against the rail
roads because Of their failure to furnish cars
to ship the cotton. Prospects are that but
little of the cotton now in the fields will be
gathered. IA number of immigrants from
Alabama came into this county few days
sgo.--Ju.tice Dunlap united in marriage

SHERMAN.



SHERMAN, TeXas, Nov. IS, 1850.
Thanksgiving day in our town, if remem.
bered at all, will be only remembered by
reason of its unusually raw and disagreeable
weather. Very few people were on the
streets and business dull. Tuesday was the
best day we have had in Sherman for two
weeks-over 600 bales of cotton in that day,
and market lively.-Another market, the
matrimonial, has also been exceedingly brisk,
TWO marriages having taken place last week,
ana another one rumored for an early day.
The social and fashionable world of our
city is agitated at present in anticipation
Of grand masquerade ball TO take place on
the ID December, under the auspices of Prot.
Iappan. Very neat cards are already out,
and the affair promises to be COM
plete success.-At Denison, on the
2Sd, fine musical contest took llace
between the Sherman and Denison bands,
followed by a magnificent ball in the even
ing at the Alamo. The Sherman boys car
ried off the honors, and speak of the occasion
as a most enjoyable one Travel to aud
from Sherman has been very good for som
days past, many Of the visitors being "ropre-
sentatives" of tie commercial world. These
gay wanderers almost invariably stop AT
the Bnkley, and add considerably 10 the life
of that elegant house..-It is rumoFed that
enc of Sherman's best citizens contemplates
making Dallas his future home at an carly
day.-The physicians report the season
one Of the healthiest for some time past, and
the spirit and condition of the populace
seem TO be excellent, Notwithstanding the
gloomest weather We have had for years.
Several theatrical companies are eY-
pected soon, though amusements are fear.
fully scarce at present.

test was brought by his who aimed that abuse
OF alcoholic liquors had rendered i'm temporarily in
sane and totally unfit mako Will The facts OF the
case as put forth the surrogaes decision are as fol-
lowsi Daniel Berran after losing his first wife, by
whom he had several children, married again few
years Inter- His children were adverse 10 the second
marriage and an arrangement between them and their
father ensued About four years ago Berrans second
wife died and the husband went to Staten Island TO live
with the family OF Mr. Steele, who treated him with
the utmost kindness aud attention
The widower however. did not overcome his grief for
the loss OF his wife, times sought consolation in
drink on June O, 1877. shortly before starting for
Colorado on n mining enterprise Berrian drew up bis
will beoueathinR $4,000, almost the totally or MS
property TO the Steele family. HIS children nave
sought To break this WILL and they produced witness
MIR Miller. who accompanied Berrian 10 CoOrado-to
testify that both June q, 1871 ana later during the
tourney West the testator constantly intoxicated
and further that his conduct that OF man OF un-
although the addicted TO the use or stmu-
ians his actions aud his conversation were Invariably
rational and that on the day he drew up his Will lie
was in the full possession of mis- faculties.
This view the also taken by the surrogate
who In declaring the Will wand attributed Berrian s
action TO gratitude for kindness shown 20 hin by
strangers while his children dealt harshly with him
