Hamilton turned back, and after some angry words
Hamilton seized wagon box, weighing some two

While on our way up the Sound in Bridge

solemn-lookng gentleman in clerical costume
moving about among the passengers, and as we
thought at the same time, mildly exhortna them te
repentance and amendment. Presently he accosted
us and making up mind to a lecture on the
exceeding snfuness of sin, we depressed the
corners OF our mouth, looked downward and pre-

THE PRESIDENTS FAMILY-Mr. Fillmore was
married in 1926 to Abigail Powers, the youngest
child Of Rev, Lemuel Powers, She is still living,
and is described as lady of great worth, modest
and unobtrusive in her department, and highly es
teemed for her many virtues. They have but two
children. The oldest, a son, is young man Of
about twenty-one years of age, who has just en-
tered upon the practice of the law in Buffalo. He
is said to be gentleman of fine qualities, and wor-
thy to be the son Of Republican President The
daughter presents a more notable example She is
about eighteen years Of age. Her accomplish
ments are many and varied and her independent
serelan character is exhibited in the fact that she
IS now very recently, teacher in one of the
free public schools in Buffalo. She is one of the
women Of whom the Republic has much more rea-
son to be proud than Of all the gay, gaudy women
fashion, who often show much scorn for schoo
teachers as they do ignorance of the qualities of
| republican character. Such family will do homo

FLowERs.-How the universal heart of man
blesses flowers! They are wreathed round the
cradle, the marriage altar, and the tomb The
Persian in the far East delights in their perfume

Gent Hindoos tipped his arrows with flowers, and
orange buds are the bridal crown with us, a ma
ton of yesterday. Flowers garlanded the GTeeian
altar, and they hang in votiye wreaths before the
Christian shrine. All these are appropriate uses.
Flowers should deck the brow of the youthful
bride, for they are in themselves a lovely type OF
marriage. They should Irvine round the tomb,
for their perpetually renewed beauty is symbol OF
the resurrection. They should festOon the altar,

The Ponte Coup6e Echo of the Doth announces
twenty deaths by cholera, in that parish, on the
plantation of the late Col Charles Morgan, and
two on that of Mr.. Louis Pofche.
The cane in the interior of the parish is said 10
surpass any former crop. On the plantations on
False River it is remarkably promising.
The Caddo Gazette of the 9Th says:
In this parish, especially on the river, and in the
adjoining parish Of Bossier the crops of cotton and
corn Notwithstanding the cold rainy sprin T. are in
a decidedly promising condition. The cotton is
large and well filled with boles and squares, and
the corn never has been better. But we hear that
the large number of planters in the neighboring
country anticipate but small returns for their agri-
cultural labor. Red River is low at that point.
The Concordia Intelliseneer of the both says:
The planters have been injured of late by the
frequent and heavy rains Ihe grass, IN many
places, has done and is doing great damage to the
cotton. The weather still continues intensely hot
| The parish enjoys uninterrupted health.
