the wants and necessities of the people Of

into consideration. and that it may be

The cars began to make regular trips
to the Terrebonne on the first instant, and
a freight train is now running every two
days, for the accommodation of shippers
to and from the city Of New Orleans
Your proposition to build a Shell.road
from Houma to this place, is one of the
best ideas that could be executed as pub
lie improvement. The planters Of this
and the lower parishes would do we'll to
take up and carry out so great public
want. Sugar and Molasses are coming
forward quite briskly for shipment, and
already the Terrebonne station exhibits a
lively and business appearance. The road
is going ahead towards Tigerville at the
rate of about quarter of mile per day,
and already has the shrill whistle. of the
locomotive startled the beasts and wild
animals of Chackahoula Swamp, two
miles West Of the Terrebonne.
As your paper has wide circulation
among the people South and West of
here, it may be well enough to inform them
of the hours of arrival and departure OF
the trains, and what facilities are offered
for the accommodation of those who wish
to visit the city. The passenger train ar.
rixes here every day from New Orleans,
at IL o'clock, A. NJ, and leaves at 81 p.
NJ, and on Saturdays an extra train ar
rives here at o'clock, P. NJ, and leaves
on Sunday morning at six.
We have had considerable sickness
around here, and a few cases of yellow
fever have occurred, but none have proved
fatal. Wehave more rain than we need,
but must take it as it comes, and no grum-
bring. Yours Ever, C.
