which the citizens labor in procuring fresh
beef pork. ETC.. and have wondered ii the
thing could not be remedied. According
to the present arrangements, about one
third Of the Houmaitys are supplied with
beef once a week. We are visited every
Saturday morning by a gentleman from
the country. with beef enough for part
of those who rise early enough to meet
him in the suburbs; and those who are so
unfortunate as to be ond OF a morning
nap, are obliged to do without. We DO
not like the idea of being obi sed to get
I'D at daylight every Saturday morning,
and walk mile or two into the country to
meet the ''meat man, and thea very Oh
ten get nothing for our trouble, and as
often get stuff, thai OR leanness and tough
ness, will compare favorably with that
obtained in any market in the country.
We believe that the demand for fresh
meat in Houma, would Justify at least one
man TO turn his attention to bu:cherng as
/ 4 business. The man who undertakes to
supply our citizens regularly with good
quality of fresh beef pork, mutton, etc.,
viii not only realize handsome profit OH
his labor, but will be regarded as bene-
factor by the now starving dozens, whose
hearts (a..d stomacas) would be made glad
Iby this act Of beneyolence and charity on
his part.

stand that the Democrats and Ants had
quite Barbecue in our village on satur-
day last. Messrs. HEBRON, Bush, Ro-
MAN, BEATTY, and others, were the speak
} ers of the day. '
i 1t appears that ''sam'' was about, and
while the ants were busy in one direc-
tion, he was doing a tolerably good bust
ness in another, by initiating visitors from
the country. I'wcmy-eigM members, we
understand, were added to the Know-N 9th
ing list that day.
We regret having been absent at the
time, else we would give full report Of
the proceedings Of the day.
When Maj, HEBRON, will honor US
with call again, we trust that we will be
at home to receive him with all the cordi-
atty of an old friend.

e. It viii be seen, by reference to our
advertising columns, that the Sheriff has
issued his proclamation for an election, to
fill the various State and Parish Offices
| that are to lie filed at the November elec-
ton. We do not know whether candidates
| for all these Offices are in the field. Only
a few have announced themselves as can
didates in the Ceres, and Of course these
gentlemen stand a great deal better chance
/ of being elected than those who have not.
How can man expect to be elected Il
| he does not let the people know that be is
Ia candidate? And how can he expect the
people to know he is candidate, unless
he announces himself as such, through
the columns OF the Ceres! Come up, you
asDirants for office, nd let US introduce
you to the thousand and one readers Of
our paper, before you dream Of being
elected.

Nothing pominee for the Legislature, from
the parish of Lafourch, sends a letter to
the Thibodaux Minerva, declining the
nomination, and giving as his reason, that
''the principles in the platform Of the
American party Of Louisiana meet his
views, and are too deeply implanted in his
bosom to be forgotten, erased, and smoth-
cred by such nomination as this.
Verify, we know not who are our friends.
