Preserving Newspapers.

IN this fast and frequently inconsiderate
age too little attention is given to the pre-
servation Of newspapers. Men are eager
to read the news and ge, information
about matters in which thoy may be spe-
cially interested-perhaps such things MS
relate to their particular business, and
may enable them to make fortunate
speculation but when these things are
glanced at, the newspaper IS thrown down
and neglected. They forget that news
papers contain, to great extent, the his
tory OF the places where they are pub
lshed, as we'll as OF the :yrues, and may
at some time be of great Importance for
reference. They seem to regard them as
mere instruments for the dissemination Of
the news Of the day, intended to ill up
leisure hour, and when this object is &C.
compished they have fully met their pur-
pose.
In England the Government has pro.
vided for the preservation Of several CO.
pies Of each newspaper published. Three
copies are require to be transmitted reg
uiarly to the stamp office, which pays
full price for them, and after the expira
ton of year complete file Of each
journal is sent TO the British Museum,
where they are bound IN volumes and
preserved for reference. Abiding TO this
fact, cotemporary has suggested that
il would be good idea to take some sim
liar action in this country. We think,
however, it would be better for each per
son who takes a newspaper to preserve
the numbers, and at the end Of each year
have them bound. Any one who will do
th's will be amply paid for the trouble
and expense. The volumes will yearly
appreciate in interest and value.

Louisiana Sugar Crop.

We have received the annual state

the sugar crop Of louisiana Being pre-
pared with much care, after an examina-
ton OF each parish to ascertain the actual
amount Of sugar produced, this publica.
ton is looked to by sugar dealers with
considerable interest. After referring to
the adverse circumstances attending cane
culture during the last year or two, the
author speaks of the present condition of
the crop with hopeful an,icipatons.-He
SAYS
As to the coming crop, will venture
no speculative suggestion. The number
OF acres planted may be less than last
year, but the rattoons which failed almost

the absence Of the unusual circumstances
which have weighed so heavily on the
sugar interest of .he State for the last
three years. have conviction that the
energy Of our planters will enable them
to overcome any ordinary difficulties, and
that The result will show that the depre.
c'ators OF Louisiana as sugar producing
country, are very much in error.

ducts of The several parishes, it is found
that 1924 sugar houses have given an
aggregate production Of 279,G97 hogs

Circumstancial Evidence.

MIR. EDToR: have just heard of the
facts Of a case which has occurred within
one hundred miles Of the capital, which
illustrates the falibiIitv Of circumstantial
evidence, and the danger of one being
skinned 10y going to law. AS it presents
important points, beg leave to report it
as told 10 me:
A small farmer had, in the course Of
years, lost several cows, and latterly a
special favorite of that species aud gender.
Information was given him that the skin
Of his lost animal was seen in neighbor
ing butchers pen-not on the animal,
but on the fence. He repaired to the
spot, and found Cherry's skin drying
inl the sun--ear marks distinct, length of
leg exact, and tail right. He was mourn
fully convinced Of tie presence of the
outer semblance Of his cherished beast !;
but being prudent man, "who forseeth
the evil" lie was distrustful Of case
where feeling and interest were both con.
cerned so he sought out the former own
! er Of tue COW, and desired his opinion in
and on the premises. The identity Of the
skin WAS distinctly and impressively re-
cognized, and the former and recent own
or Of the lost friend and subjsct, were
clearly Of opinion that the memory ofpast
services, and :he loss Of valuable SER
want, required justice to be done, by ap.
pealing to the law against COW stealing.
A preliminary investigation, or sort CT
! Arbitration, was consented, to before the
representative of justice in small and mean
cases Of the precinct, and the case was
submitted. The butcher was prepared
I and adduced evidence that the skin in
question was his own property, and was
very far from being the skin of COW,
but was ipso faticdiiy the skin Of an OK
OF steer, which he proved to the satsfac.
tion of the Judge. The plaintiff was a.
bout 10 present his testimony IL the case,
and had appealed to learned scientific
gentleman TO give anatomical evidence as
to the distinction between the skin Of q
COW and the skin Of a steer-or the dii.
ference between tweedle.dum and twee
die dee. The interest OF the citizens was
just becoming excited and parties formed
on the merits Of the issue, when little
nigger burste,i into Court with the i'm
porlant intelligence, "Massa, de COW is
come home, aud Missis send me TO tell
Z you.'
! The case suddenly exploded, and 80 did
the parties present; and thus is added
another to the category on record, Of the
| danger OF trusting to circumstantial evi-
dence. The butcher being sensible
man, and above suspicion Of steering into
other peoples pastures, enjoyed the case
and haw-hawed with the loudest at the
tale uniolded, and the other party admits
that he ID eowed by the facts which have
I 'tuIned up. Co. ~. MIoAwBER.

A Young Girl in Trance Forty-Eight

About 10 o'clock last Thursday night,
young girl named Isabella Ellison, aged
10, residing in Washington street, Pough.

Immediately ran to her assistance, and
raised her up, when, to their horror, they
found that her eyes were glazed and set,
her features pale as marble, lips colorless,
her feet and hands cold; and the spec
ta'ors thought that they were gazing up
on the features Of a corpse. 1t was short.

she was conveyed to her residence, the
preacher saying that she was in a trance,
and when a member advised that medical
assistance should be procured, the preach.

this state until Saturday evening, except

Friday afternoon, when she suddenly lif.

efforts to cluch at something, when the

to bend or move it. On Saturday even.
