SHERMAN, Tx, Jan. 1s.--This morn
ing the people of our city looked out
upon one Of the most gloomy prospects
OF ice and slcel that has met their vision
In many years Every blade Of dry grass,
every frosted weed and bough, was laden
With sleet, and we only lack the bright
rays OF the morning sun TO clothe the
world In a sheen OF splendor that would
surp0ss the polished diamonds OF Col
gotham feast the eye on mingled prisms
OF loneliness that no other condition
could furnish. But the glorious sun had
hid his face behind clouds and fog, and
left the world in gloom. Telegraph wires
were INSTRUCTED, telephone wires were
broken, evergreen boughs hung low under
chilling burdens Of ice and the forbidding
outlook recoled on the human heart with
a force that stamped its influence on the
face OF every citizen and LETT them
gloomy and depressed. The small boy
vas the only animated creature who
could find comfort in the existing condi-
ton of things, and he made good use OF
his time In sliding on the payemeUts and
humping his head in an occasional fall.
Towards noon the softoning breezes had
unlocked the icy seal, aud world Of
mud and siush took the place Of the arctic
aspect that preceded 1t. This afternoon
the weather moderated finely and
an occasional streak OF sunshine
cheered us all 20 life and energy again,
and the monotony Of material affairs
once more resumed its sway.
The east-bound Texas & Pacific train,
due here at II o'clock, came in on time,
but as the mail train from the Fort had
failed TO connect at Whitesboro by two
hours, our readers were compelled to
wait until the 1850 train from Denison
brought the papers by way of that city.
Rev. j. l.. Lloyd of Gonzales, Tex. left
at noon for Pottsboro, WA. Denison, where
he will oillciate on the 10th in the mar
rlage Of his son John Il. Lloyd to Miss
Minnie Van Antwerp, whose father lives
near that place.
The young gentleman formerly
occupied the position of telegraph
operator and station agent at Pottsboro,
and there made the acquaintance of the
lovely lady who captured his heart, and
although his duties have since called him
to Jones' Station in Arkansas, the love of
one good woman has had the power to
bring him back TO Texas, where he will
be made happy by the heart aud hand of
wife. We offer the young people our
hearty congratulations, and hope that
both may be blessed with the undivided
love of the other In all the long future.
A. u. Archenard, a prominent in
surance adiuster for Texas, came in last
evening from Paris, and went to Denison
to-day on business connected with the
late fire there.
Mdly Deane, Esq, q prominent young
attorney OF this bar, is quite sick at his
home IN East Sherman. His doctors an
nouncc his allliction heart disease.
An army Of about dozen tramps took
possession Of our union depot Saturday
night and yesterday morning Policeman
Burgess invited them to take a walk,
which they promptly did, running east.
Miss Emma Brown went TO Denison
this morning to visit her sick sister, Mrs.
DR.. Grizzard OF that city.
Rev, Jarrett Finney of Sister Grove in
this county has received commission

pupgcnt and forcible speaker of the Hard
shell Baptist order, and being thoroughly
