Anecdote Of Eudge Rurk.

We heard an anecdote the other day of
Judge BuRK, which seems SO appropos at the
present time, ard withal so pointedIy supports
the principle advanced by Associate Justice
S~PoFFARD Cor opposes it, as the reader may de.
termine,) that "the duty of a judge is 10 en-
tighten a jury" that we cannot forego the in.
~clination of giving it still greater publicity.
There was before The Cont a very intricate
civil case Connecting like the one probably that
we "told about" awhile back) and among The
jury was-never mind his name-one of the
most popular, witty and sociable gentlemen of
the parish, but who, alas is now no more
He was foreman, and after Judge BURK had
delivered his charge and the jury had retired
TO their room, another juryman approached
our friend, and inquired
"Well, Colonel, what do you think of the
Judges charged"
admirable, most admirable We didn't
understand a word he said, therefore it can't
be said that our decision will be contrary to
his instructions"

End of the Fiscal wear.


There is a fiscal year and an end TO it in the
business affairs of every man, when, if he IS
honest and upright, it is his wish to square off
with the world, and of course would like the
world to square off with him but if the world
shouldn't do so, how is he 10 carry out his
good intentions? 1t is a period too when The
prudent and careful business man will take u
calm and meditative review of the past twelve
months, and bring to the judgment seat of his
impartial mind whatever Of error and omission
may have marked his business course, and thus
profit in the future by the evils of the past.
The fiscal year to the business men of this
parish ended yesterday, and we have no doubt
that all of them would, like %ourseif, been glad
10 have balanced accounts with creation before
night set in, that this morning they might have
started on The road to fortune or a competency
with that light and joyous heart which a free
dom from debt ensures. We plead then, for
the good of US all, that an early adjustment Of
accounts will take place. As for o%urself, we
shall make no promises relative to our BUSH
ness when our pockets are filled with coin i'm
stead of bills. One thing however is certain
we have learnt a useful lesson since last March
1856, and we have no doubt our readers will
perceive that we have profted by it before ano.
ther March comes.

west baton Rouge Railroad.

The locomotive "Durdlde" has recently ar
rived from Cincinnati, and is by this time no
doubt numbering over the rails Of this beauti~
ful road, and will, the coming season, trans
port The crops Of Bayou Crosse Tete and Mar
angouin to the Mississippi. This road ter
inmates IN q beautiful region Of country, offer
ing to those who anticipate opening plantations
a most desirable location, the land of which no
doubt can be obtained on advantageous terms
Such men as CHAs. A. SLACK, PIKE, and oths
ers who are al the head of this enterprise, and
who have so rapidly and successfully carried
on their operations thus far, are sufficient guar
antees Of its full prosperity, and the keeping
up of it's stock to a high figure. The land al
so on the line ofthe road present many induces
ments to purchasers, and although now in the
market, we believe, it is doubtful whether they
will be so much longer. Therefore do not
procrastinate.

The CrOps..Lands, &c.

From reliable information, we learn that the
cane and corn crops generally OF the parish are
in a most hourishing condition. On Wednes~
day we had a steady, soaking rain, which, from
appearances, prevailed over n great portion, If
not the entire parish, which was wanted, and
which will doubtless do a great deal Of good.
Our planters deserve a big raise this year for
the unfortunate failure Of the past season; and
if energy and industry is left to accomplish 1t,
it will assuredly be obtained. The time is not
far distant when not an acre of cultivable
ground can be obtained in Ibergille, so rapidly
are planters extending their plantations and
new ones being opened. There is at present
an opportunity presented 10 purchasers in the
lands owned by A. J. POWELL, Esq, of Dom
jacksonville, Cf not disposed of situated MAIN
" in the rear Of some Of our most productive
plantations, and purchasers should take advan-
tage Of the chance while the lands are in the
market. We would refer also to the lard
owned by the heirs Of the late A. NORBERT
CRoPPER--like Mr.. PowELL's, being splendid
sugar lands-which were not sold at the late
succession sale, and which might no doubt be
purchased very a~dyantageously at private sale.
There is nothing surer of profitable remune-
ration than the purchase of lands at the present
time in this parish.

Mach 2sth, 1857.
We do not publish the above through, nor
are our remarks animated by, any partizan feel
ing towards Judge BuRK; he is a good and
honorable man, but it is to be regretted that
the too great partially of private friendships
have placed him in an attitude which, if rati-
fed by the people calling him to the Bench,
must bring modification and regret to their
breasts. through occurrences which will surely
| follow, The remarks Of Judge SPoFFORD Of
the Supreme Court with reference to a charge
which Judge BURK as attorney, wished Judge
ROBERTSON TO make--saying that the duty of
a Judge was to eDlighten o jury, not darken
their understanding"--was the seVerest crltl-
cism upon his judicial abilities that could be
adduced, and the very highest authority for his
u~nftness for the Beach. We repeat, that we
entertain no ~partizan feeling against Judge
BURx--nor have we any against any man we
have given good evidence we think that we
are no longer a partlzan editor. We never
shall in future, whatever We may have done in
the past, advocate any man for a public trust,
whatever his political a~ftinities, whom, from
our knowledge or experience (or the knows
ledge or experience of those in whose jsdg-
ment we have the fullest confdence,O we know
to be inferior to bis opponent in all those re-
ouisites necessary to the full and faithful per-
Torrance of his official duties. We are not
a whit more opposed to Judge BURK politically
in the present issue than are the four delegates

The action, as delegates, Of the gentlemen
who signed the above card Gall Democrats

A writer says of this work "In her latest

ess has excelled herself. Viva, the heroine, is
a beautiful, grifted and inspiring maiden,
whose presence is a life'giviDg power to all
within her sphere; whose influence like magic
or rather like grace, developes the better ma"
ture of all with whom she is brought in cons
tact-so redeeming, e~levating and inspiring is
her benignant influence upon the dreaming
girl-artist Theodore, and the poor, but gifted

A celebrated critic says Of this work: "Per1

that it is one of Emerson Benefits best psor
ductions, and will be sure 10 delight aIl readers
who were pleased with the Prairie Flower and
Clara Moreland, to which il may be considerea
a companion--the scenes and incidents being
something similar, and yet the story totally
unlike either of the others. The scene Of the
Border Rover is in the Territory of Kansas,
beginning at independence, Missouri, and ex-
tending all over the plains or prairies to the
Rocky Mountains, 1t is full of thrilling adj
venture and hair breadth escapes, love, ro~
nance and humor, and the characters are
trappers, traders, hunters, travellers, guides, IN
dams, &c, &c. Furthermore, the scenes are
geographically correct, the incidents of actual
occurrence, and those who wish to see Kansas
as it was a few years since, will find in this
most exciting story some very accurate and
valuable information"

A HUMAN

WIN. T. ANDREWS was born in Greene

years Of age, and is truly one of the greatest
wonders of the human kind ever seen.
AT birth he was as beautiful and well-rropor-
toned in form as any child. Al about two weeks
old, his HEAD was observed 10 be increasing In
size very rapidly, while his body seemed not TO
grow. His head continued growing until it now
weighs SIXTY POUNDS, and treasures over
three feet in circumference, while his body is not
larger than a child of five years.

y Judge Cole.

The Houma Ceres, speaking of the candi-
dates for the Supreme Bench, says:
Of Judge Cole. the other candidate, we can
but repeat what our readers throughout the
Fifth District know as welt as we do: That,
during the four years in which he has presided
over our courts, he has given universal satis-
faction by The promptDess and efficiency with
which he has discharged his duties, as we'll as
by the Nwisdom of bis decisions, which have
found an almost invariable affirnance in the
appellate court. Besides great learning in the
law and a clear logical mind, he possesses
that quality most essential to the conscien-
tious performance of the arduous duties of q
supreme judge-a most invincible application
to labor.
We repeat, whatever may be the result of
the election, We shall be satisfied though we
cannot disguise our strong predictions in
favor of Judge Cole.
The Ceres is strictly a neutral paper, and
therefore the above may be considered as the
true and honest expression of the editor.
