 The Standat:d. MAEKDALE APRIL, 3, 1884. Married in Haste to Repent at Leisure. Our readers will doubtless remem- ber a notice in the Stand.vrd, early in January, of a young couple being en- gaged to be married, and after having secured the license, engaged the min- ister, and ordered dinner at the Mark- dale House, she changed her mind and married another at the appointed time, (New Year's day). The parties referred to in said notice was Miss Mathewjon, of Artemesia, and Mr. Phillips, of Osprey, while the third interested person was Mr. Louis N. Tbibaudeau, of Artemesia. The couple, h'iwever,8tarted housekeeping shortly after, while the disappointed suitor did'nt even ' suicide. No further deyelopmeuts of a serious or sensational character was heard until about two weeks since when matters grew 80 unsatisfactory and boisterous in the new household, that a hasty and informal geparatiou was made, the unlortunatc bride returning to her father's, while her heartless husband left for parts unknown. There are yarious rumors as to the causes of un happiness, and who is to blame but one thing is evident, it should be a warning against hasty marriages. In this Canada of ours where a divorce is next thing to impossible, young people should tlioroughly understand each others disposition before embarking on a life voyago in whicli it is most desirable for happiness to reign su- preme throughout. crfiaaing in value. Texas is receiving a daily average of over 1000 well-to-do emigrants from all parto of the world, and especially the Northern States and England. Canada is also well represented as she has over 2500 sons residing in Texas. Now we do not wish to represent this country as a Paradise, for she has her disadvantages and drawbacks as well as any other the only difference is she has not so many. I am sorry to say dollar bills do not grow on trees of this laud but men possessing brains and muscle and a willingness to use them, need not have a doubt regarding their success here. The Weather at time of writing is beautiful, and resembles u Canadian May or June. The farmers completed their spring work by the middle of February. No wonder that car loads of people from Dakota and other Northern States, fleeing from the winters to come, are daily seen coming to Texas. If any^of the readers of the Stand- ABD desire a change of climate we will heartily welcome them to this fair land of promibe. T. W. P. Fort Worth, March 1st. Notice. â€" We wish it distinctiv uuderstooil tliat Wf; do not liold ouvselvos re^ponsib'o for the opinions ex[iressed by our correspondents. To the Editor of the Standard. SiK, â€" According to promise I shall send you a few items concerning this great State, called "Texas," whijh has to bear so much unmerciful abuse and slander from the jealous journals of the North. Such fearful reports -e- lating to wild cow-boys, six-shooters, and bovine knives, have a tendency to produce that prejudice which exists in tne minds of many people. Let me say right here tiiat the in- liabitants of this favored laud are a? peacable and law-abiding as can be found anywhere, aud life is just as safe as in Ontario, and raa^'be a httle safer. Of course she has a rough class of individuals, like all countries, but these characters do not meddle with one who keeps out of their ranks and minds his own business. Churches, echoolg and colleges are found in her towns aud cities. I don't believe she has any villages, tor such is her rapid rate of progress, that where the butialo roamed over two years ago in his solitude, now booming towns and cities ure towering above the plains with their thousands of in- habitants. One from the North would be sur- prised to see the enterprise and busi- ness activity which can be seen in all her tows. R;uIro-ids are penetrating every- corner ol tiie State, aud as pre- dicted, Texas will be one of the great- est States in the Union in the near fiHure. She pos.sesses excellent facilities for the extension of commerce, having al ready more mih;, of railway tiian any other state, aud aL-o over 1000 miles of sea coast. Her soil is exceedingly fertile aud will produce abuudantly"all Northern as well as Southern productions. Her climate is delightful, the summers not being as oppressive as iu the North, and the wiuters so miid as to allow the farmer to plough and the cattle to graze .through the entire season. If there is money iu stock raising iu Canada and the Noi-thern States.where feeding i.s requMed for five or six months in the year, should it not be much more remunerative in this state where y.)ur stock keep in good condi- tion throughi-ut the year on pasture. Thi'3 certainly is the country f,)r all classes of mechanics, the agiicultural- ist. aud the stock-raiser.

Deak Sir, â€" In the first week in February, 1884, I boarded the cars at Hillsburg, on the Credit Valley E. R. for Spriugboro. Pennsylvania. I judge it unnecessary and uninteresting to the readers of the Standaed to describe the country from here to that place but I have other matters to speak of which I think will be interesting, especially to the farming community of the County of Grey. My object was to visit the world renowned breed- ing establishment of the Messrs. Powell Bros. After a rather tedious journey I arrived al the depot at Springboro, where a carriage was in waiting to convey me to tlie palatial residence occupied by those gentle- men, where I met with such a recep- tion and hospitality during my stay as almost made me imagine I iias some- body. Visiters at the Messrs. Powell's are made to feel at once that they are welcome. After breakfasting, several gentle- men from as many diflfeient States of the Union, who had come to purchase thorough-bred stock with myself, then visited the stables for the purpose of seeing the stock, and verily we did see stock; There were Clydesdale stal- lions from 2 to 10 years old of every conceiveable grade from the lofty aud rangy to the very lowest and heaviest type of this noble breed. There was alse trotting bred roadsters and coach ers iu great variety, and English draughts which reflect credit to the judgment and enterprise of the pro- prietors of this noted estabhshment. In addition to those already mentioned they have a large stock of the Norman Percheron race of horses. Those horses appear to be fast gaining in favor, and judging from what I saw of the choice of the gentlemen who (iame there to purchase, they are more sought after than any other of the draught breeds. The chief reason for this seems to be that possessing all the size, bone aud muscle of the other breeds which go to make a good draught horse, they have the quality of more rapid and easy movement. I do not wish to say anything disparag- ing to the other valuable breeds men- tioned, but I state this fact, that no one can view a large number of each of those breeds moving round in the show ring, but will be impressed with a sense of their great superiority iu this one respect, while they are by no means deficient in other qualities. I brought home a dark gray colt of this breed, coming 3 years old, possessed of bone and sinew and action seldom excelled, at a large cost. This colt is in rather low condition, from the ef- fects of the voyage across the ocean tills winter. This voyage was very rough and long, taking 14 days, and was so severe that 10 of the horses iu this shipment died from its efi'ects. He is a thoroughbred, aud is recorded No. (2932) Percheron Stud Book, and No. (25-L9) Norman Stud Book. Name "Eibaut." This colt will be kept at home this season for service on lot 23, 3rd range, S. D. E., Artemesia. Any man wishing to see this animal, if he comes here, will be made welcome and will be shown every courtesy, and treated hospitably whether he enj,ages his services or not.

The furnaces in the new church here, which were made by Gurney Col, of Toronto, wc un- derstand works very satisfactory. Mr. M. Richardson is fast pushing to com- pletion the work on his new block, and hopes to occupy it early in the summer. The social, given under the auspices of the Ladies' Aid, (Presbyterian) in the Town Hall last Thursday evening, was poorly patronized. A very creditable program was gone through with. Messrs. McDowell and Vanzant ren- dered some sweet music on the organ aud violin. Miss Hopkins recited in her usual able manner.

Dr. Campbell has been lecturing on phrenology, physiognomy, matrimony, liygiene, etc., here the past week. He is apparently master of this very in- teresting subject or science, aud his lectures and readings of character wore highly interesting as well as in- structive. The ice has gone out of Beaver River, and Burton Bros., lumber merchants, haye a number of men employed running the timber down the stream. The water is not near as high as last spring, but is quite suf- ficient for all practical purposes. Mr. Teater, lot 5, con. 8, Euphrasia, had bis house aud contents burned one night last -wieek. The family had a narrow escape. Nothing was saved. No insurance. Mr. Teater has the sympathy of the entire neighborhood. Our royal mail is very imregular lately.

It is acknowledged by aU, that our present school house is entirely unfit for the accommodation of the pupUs, yet the thoughts of the cost of new buildings, taken in connection with the hard times, will, we fear, deter the ratepayers from favoring the erection of a suitable sehool-house.
