See the reward of SIS offered for a Pointer dog

get to stealing dogs. There must be bad vhiskey
sold in these diggings. We never saw but one
dog thief, and that was a man named Hodgson,
who, whenever arrested for stealing dogs, and
that was frequently, was let off with a slight
punishment, for he laid the blame on one Garde-
nier's whiskey. Il never drink two glasses Of
that mans whiskey," ~Elodgson would say to the

The Cutoff Road,

We are sorry to learn that nothing is as
yet done With reference to the repairing Of
this road, so that it will be made in travelling
order. We learn that our parish has offered
TO subscribe two-thirds Of the price requisite
to make the necessary repairs and the keeping
of the road in good condition perpetually, but,
strange TO say, the Police Jury Of. West Baton
Rouge, or a majority of it, refused to appro-
pirate the remaining third for that purpose.
This seems to US singular, considering the
Importance of this road to the lower portion of
that parish-as well also of its importance to
the parish at large. Two~thirds Of the price
for the necessary repair, and the continuance
of that repair, is as much as they can expect
from Iberville, and we fear, if the Police Jury
of West Baton Rouge object to or refuse this
liberal offer, that the road will remain as it ist

RepeaIEn q the Sugar Duty.

We publish in another place the proceedings
Of a Meeting in the parish Of West Baton
Rouge, taking into consideration the efforts
now making in Congress to do away with the
present duty on imported sugars. We are
under the impression that the sugar planters
of Louisiana have nothing to fear in this mat
ter. In The first place, we do not believe that
the friends of the measure will be able TO carry
through such a bill-and, secondly, should it
eventually pass, such an act will certainly be
followed by one of the Spanish Cortes,
creating an export duty, which will tend to
keep the prices at the usual figures. The
Spanish Government is ever in want of money,
and il will allow no occasion to pass, such as
that of making sugar free by our Government,
which offers an inducement or a favorable OPP
portunity to add to its treasury. Our States
men in Congress must be aware of this. and
we are sure it will have much weight in de-
feating the biIl--a bill which would give
money to the Spanish Government, instead Of
beneftting the purses Of the American con-
sumers of sugar. We admire, however, the
spirit of the Resolutions passed at the meeting
alluded to and think it well enough to advise
our friends in Congress with respect to our
interests, as also to inform our enemies that
we will not relinquish what we conceive to be
our rights, without a struggle to preserve
them.

. AUTHENTICITY OF THE BIBLE.-The Par
IS correspondent of the Journal of Commerce
thus alludes to the discoveries made by Sir
Henry Rawlinson in Assyria confrmatory
in the truth of the Bible Record:
Among the recent public lectures in Lon
don, you may be struck with that of Sir Hen
ry Rawlinson, on late O'iental discoveries in
relation to the Bible. 1t occupied nearly
an hour and half. Sir Henry ezpatiated on
some of the most important results of his
discoveries in Assyria, constituting verif-
cation of scripture history; he illustrated his
topic by numerous drawings and models Ia
ken from the sculptures now in the British
Museum. He could educe, by abundant
confidence, the authenticity of the Holy
writ. The earliest period to which the in
scriptions he had found referred, was about
1000 years Before Christ. The whole coun-
try of Assyria had been excavated in the
course of his researches multitude of in
scriptious had been deciphered, and in many
instances, they confirmed, in the minutest
details, the pages of scripture, and explain
ed passages which had been hitherto obscure
The instances which he cited TEEN with
instruction and force; the Interpretation of
names in particular. The earliest connexion
of the Chaldces and Indians and the Baba-
lonian mythology the ethnology, and geo.
graphy of the Assyrians, the historical re-
cords, all are illustrated; in every case, there
is an entire agreement with the Bible. The
lecturer inferred from his studies that the
Book of Job belonged to time about 700
years before Christ. In the inscription there
is e period of nearly thousand years, with
out mention of Judea, but during that pc
riod, there was no inducement for intercourse
between the Assyrians and the Jews. The
visit of the Queen Of Sheba to Solomon was
verified. So, the wars between Scnacherib
and Hezekiah. There were four distinct
captivites of the Jews. Some inscriptions
referred to the time of Nebuchadnezzar;
others threw light on the existence and ac-
tions ef Belshazzar, who was joint King with
his father Minus, and who shut himself up
in Nineveh.

From the Cotton Planter and Soil.
CULTURE OF THE MELON.

There is no fruit that enters so largely in
to the daily consumption of our people as the
melon, and none that seems to be so little
understood, or appreciated in its culture
A fine favored water or musk melon should
not be planted within one hundred yards of
any other melon, or any of the melon family
Gourds, squashes or cucumbers should never
be planted in the same garden, or field, with
melons, for the volatile nature of the pollen
of each will mix, making hybrids of the next
generation, giving the melon a gourdy,
squashy flavor, and softening the shell of the
gourd. The melon delights in a sandy soil,
and to have them in their greatest perfection,
the ground should be deeply spadcd or SUBJ
soil plowed. The hills should be about ten
feet apart. The watermelods'ine is very
subject to injury from water; heavy and long
continued rains give the vine the appearance
of having been sealded, hence the necessity
Of planting on hills instead of on level
Holes should be excavated and filed in with
we'll rotted manure, with mound made over
the manure at least twelve inches higher in
the centre than on the outside; on the CEN
tire of this mound, plant the seed, plantsome
six or eight, and when they have four leaves
thin out to three plants in hill. rs the
vines begin to run, branch and bloom, pinch
out the terminal bud, which will throw the
whole vigor of the vine into the young fruit
lust set; as the fruit increases in size, take
off all but one to branch, and allow but one
melon to ripen on one branch vine.
An overloaded melon vine will produce
but inferior fruit. The cultivator should
bear in mind that the roots of melons run
lust as fast and far as the vine extends, and
that the practice of laying back the vines
over the hills, and blowing deeply between
the hills is very injurious to the crop. The
melon ground cannot be broken too deep be-
fore the vines begin to run, but it is posi-
tive injury to the vine for the plow to 60
three inches below the surface, over which
the vine has already run. Great care should
be taken in handling the vines when work
ing among them with the hoe. For every
tendril broken or bruised on the vine, the
fruit is retarded in its maturity. Keep the
ground clean around the vines, and as fast
as the vine elongates branch, peg it down,
so that the winds may not blow them about
and break them. If the striped bug is
troublesome, mix one portion of guano to
two of gypsum, and dust over the vine when
the dew is on-the bugs will quickly depart.
The first melons that set on the vine will
mature in four weeks from the time of set
ting. The second settings in about three
weeks. As the season advances, they will
mature in less than three weeks. Fine crops
of melons arc made by using brush for the
vines to run on, and cling to. The seed of
the first melon that ripens should be saved
for the next seasons planting, provided it
grew where no other member of the melon
family could impregnate it.
