being determined to get drink, offered
to rattle himself Off for ten chances

New Yenr,s Day.

If the local of the HERALD even sus-
pected that yesterday, the first day of
the wear 1885, was fair sample of what
the remaining 1854 would produce in the
way OF news, he would go down to the
bridge and end his misery by jumping
into the turbid Trinity. Everything,
save few houses receiving callers, pur-
suant to custom, was closed. There were
no courts, public offices, banks or prin-
elpai places of business were open, and
there was consequently dearth of
news. This is not an apology, but a
stubborn fact. There were quite a num-
seI of New Year callers abroad, who
gave the day more or less life, or else it
would have passed for Sabbath under
the blue laws of Connecticut, so
quiet and undemonstrative was it..
1t is to be hoped in this connection that
the old adage that bad beginning
makes good ending may be verified in
the new year pertaining to live, wide
awake news. The weather clerk did his
part by the new year in starting it off
with bright and beautiful sunshiny
DAY. There were a number of dinings
given and a deal of wine drank to ceie-
brate 1855, but Notwithstanding all this
there was dearth of news. So far as
local news is concerned the day was a
blank.

Away of in old Virginia the bells, ON
the 23d of December, 1884, were sound
ing for wedding, and soon the tidings
came that our young and talented
townsman, Mr.. Lafayette Fitzhugh had
been united in the silken bonds to Miss
Emma b. Wood, of Richmond, sister of
Mr.. Q. o. Wood, of the HERALD. The
Prise is not altogether stranger to
Dallas society, having visited her
brother last summer. She is coming
now to stay. The kindest wishes of the
HERALD are extended to the young
couple who start in life with such assur-
ances OF continued happiness. Leaving
the parental home is a sad trial to one
30 young, but it is more than probable
the love which caused so sacrificial a
move will cheer and gladden. her future
home. They will find many warm and
heartily greeting friends.
