On DUTY.-Mr. Birdsall, our newly appointed
Inspector, has already entered upon the dis
charge Of his important and onerous duties. He
will soon discover that he will have many diff
culties to contend against in enforcing the new
Ordinance. But he is equal to the task, and
will spare no excrtion, on his part to have the
law complied with to the very letter. Although
we cannot but frankly admit, that the law in its
general features is extremely hard and oppres-
sive on q large number Of our small farmers,
still, levees much less in their dimensions would
not suffice to contain the waters within their
legitimate bounds; and, therefore, with full
knowledge Of the evil consequences which have
resulted from creyasses, for several years back,
we shall make no serious opposition to it on this
score. But that it might be slightly modified
and equally answer all the purposes for which it
was enacted, is also true. We apprehend that
allowance viii be made, in extreme cases, in re-
quiring strict compliance with the ordinance,
as results might follow far more to be dreaded
than the dangers of an overflow. We are more
strongly induced to favor proper discrimina-
ton IN the case Of those who cannot possibly
comply with the law, in the time given, than
We are to see It universally and Internationally
enforced, especially on the Western bank Of the
Lasourche, inhabited chiefly by small farmers,
whose lands constitute al their possessions.

Prisoner Escaped Monday night last
IAe young man, Rariden, who was in Jail

effected his escape. and as yet nothing

just handed him his supper, and as he had
been in the habi, of doing. pulled to the
door. without locking, but fastening on
the outside. and whilst in an adjoining
room eating his own supper. he thinks,
and doubtless correctly. that some one
entered the hall and removed the door

full liberty to make good his escape. On
the next morning carpet sack was found
on one Of the window stills outside of the
jail, but neither it or its contents affords
any identity to the person who aided in
the escape.
