aba Iobaeeo.-Mr. II. Bry, OF
lie parish Sof Ouac.,ita, Louisiana, has
sent 10 market oneEhegshead and three
bales Of tobacco raised from Cuba seed.
This tobacco, we are informed, says
the Ouacbita Coulter, was pronounced
by ycompe,entj judges !. be equal IN ha>
yor. &c. 10 the best Havana tobacco.
Thls IS: The first. Shipment OF this staple,
te,iibelieye, that las ever been made
from this parish. The profit attending
us cultivation, however, is calling the
attention sof enter prising planters 10 its
pfoduction, who, will reach many rich
ilarges,s i befole their ,ardy brethren em-
bafksin the undertaking. We hope,
era niany years. to see oul barren and
profiless: Pine Hill lands rendered in
valuable blythe cultivation OF ih's staple.
