st. Francisve has been quite lively for week
past, comparatively speaking. The inundaton Of
Bayou Sara has thrown good many OF its citizens
in the midst of US. We are occasionally enlivened
with serenade, much to the qualification of our
young ladies'. The bluff near by, which overlooks
the fated town below, Is every evening crowded
with the beauty q our village, who, at the same
time that they deeply sympathze with our afflicted
neighbors wander hence to admire the splendid
view afforded from. their elevated position.

DOC TRAIN FROM LAKE SUPERIoR-Mr julius
Ausinan, accompanied by Mr.. Boy, of Lapointe,
Lake Superior, arrived here on Thursday last, in
thirteen days from that place, via the Falls of ST.
CroiY. Austman came through with two trains
drawn by dogs, which excited much curiosity in
our town They brought several hundred pounds
of freight, baggage, etc. Unlike the dogs of Red
Rivef, they are of a mongrel breed, and rather
under sized, the train being made of two thin
boards of polished oak, curling at the end like a
skate. In this way, with a heavy load, two dogs
will make forty miles in a day with ease. The
roads were very bad, almost impossible. Mr.. B.
left on Monday on his eturn. They brought no
news of any Importance. Minnesota Pioneer

THE DEBT OF TExAs.-Since the publication of
the Treasury Circular of the ED of March, call
ing on the creditors Of the State of Texas who hold
evidences of debt for which duties on imports were
edged by the late Republic to file the same and
eAeele releases thereof, many letters have been
received by the Department, showing misconcep-
IT, of the law Of Congress, granting ten millions
of stock to Texas that another circular was issued
from the Treasury Department on March 3lst.
The misunderstanding is explained in this extract
from the circular:
"The general impression Of the writer's of the
letters thus received, appears to be that this De-
parInent will pay from the reserved five millions
the amount due to those creditors who hold that
portion of the debt for which the duties on imports
were pledged, after they have signed and filed their
release of the United States instead of which, so
soon as all such creditors have executed their re-
leases aforesaid, tie reserved five millions are then
to be issued to TEXAS, when all further action by
this Department respecting it will cease, and the
creditors to look Texas for the settlement OF
their respective claims"
