THE LEVEE 1T MRS. LEFTWlCHS.
We trust that the corporation will give some
further consideration to the levee or bank Of the
BAYOU in front of Mrs. LErTwIcH's residence be-
fore a rise of the river takes place. Something
should be done, if possible, to arrest the further in
road of the bayou in this direction. One OF our
main, and the most beautiful of our streets, is be-
ing thus most seriously injured, and a proportion
ate injury given to the whole town. An old fiat
boat or two, sunk at this point alluded to, might
prevent the earth from being washed away under
meath, and consequently keep the bank from sink
ing when the waterfalls. At all events the expe-
riment is worth trying. A similar procedure some
distance farther up, for the purpose of turning the
current on the opposite side of the bayou, is like
wise, we think, worthy of consideration. lis,
therefore, to be hoped that our council will give
due attention to this matter, as one which comes
peculiarly under their cognizance.
