FATAL DIFFICULTY "A fatal difficulty, says
the Shreveport Democrat of the 4th inst, &C.
CURED on board of the steamer Il, Nj Jones on
Friday last, early in the morning, whilst lying
at the mouth of the Black Bayou, between the
engineer of the boat, f. A. Ilornsh, and man
by the name of Peter Kizer, who had been en-
gagged in playing cards the previous night
Kizer accused Hornish of stealing hye dollars
from him This Hornish denied and retired to
his berth Finally, a little after daylight on
Friday morning, Ilornish got out of his berth,
and in the course of the difficulty that ensued
immediately after, struck kizer on the forehead
with his fist, and knocked him down backwards.
In the fall his head struck against something on
the boat, which resulted in the disocation oil his
neck, and, of course, instant death. Hornish
was brought up on Tuesday, I'd inst for exam
nation, and was bound over in a bond OF S5ou
to appear at the next term of the District Court
OF this parish.
The Minden Herald of the 9th inst says
- The weather is assuming n natural phase
agan-not SO wet and cold as it has been for
some time past. The cotton squares had com
menced falling off, but it is thought they will
stop now. The country is generally healthy.
The Ouachita Register of the ID inst. says
" Since the late rains the corn has improved
very much and it is now thought there will be
very near an average crop throughout the par
ish As to cotton, we hear some complaints
the weed is growing too fast, causing the bclls
to shed
The Shreveport Southwestern of the 10th
inst says:
The river continues to decline. The recent
dry weather has greatly improved the cotton in
this parish, and gives promise that the crop will
be good one A merchant of this place, just
returned from journey through Eastern Tex
rs, informs US that, with the exception of Har-
rison county, the crops of cotton and corn will
be larger in that section of country than at any
time during the last three years,

His influence in the University gave a new impulse
70 the study Of mathematical science in this country
He was one Of the first TO introduce the writings of the

Prof Farrar was model OF excellence. His uniform
Euayty of disposition his conversational powers
his afiuent outpouring of anecdote and description
