DIED-On the 18th instant, at the ad-
vanced age Of l04 years, MARIE THEREsE
OLINDE, widow Louis David.
She was a native of this parish, and
at the time Of her birth, 1856, this
country was but a wilderness. She had
been sick an hour during all her
life, which was one of continual labor
and industry. To the date Of her death
she retained full command of her intel.
lect, and could travel on foot to distant
parts of the parish to visit her friends.
Such is the result of temperance and in.
dustry.

The Fair at Baton Rouge.

The Fair at Baton Rouge.
The fair opened yesterday, say the
Baton Rouge Advocate, of Tuesday
last, under the most fattering aus.
pices, notwithstanding the effort made
in New Orleans to Illustrate the plans
inaugurated by the Baton Rouge pio'
neers in behalf of this State enterprise.
The attendance was Unexpectedly large,
considering the season Of the year, and
the many drawbacks against which the
directors had to contend. The Leglsla-
ture is drawing to a close, and the bust
ness accumulating' or the last days of
the session necessarily kept the mem
bers away from the Fair grounds, but
the large from the surround
ing parishes in some measure scompen-
stated for the absence of the peoples
representatives. The ladies were there
on the opening day in respectable num-
bcrs, and not the least charm to the
occasion were the benignant smiles and
approving looks they bestowed upon the
efforts OF the sterner sex to place our
State on an equality with her sisters in
encouraging the industry and ingenuity
of her citizens. -
The exhibition yesterday in the stock
department was an suspicious begin
ming for the popularity and success of
the future displays at Baton Rouge. The
list of premiums awarded will be found
below, and we here take occasion to say
that none were given by the judges
which did not exactly accord with the
opinion of the large outside audience.
Each day will increase the interest
and the attendance at the Fair grounds.
We may already congratulate ourselves
on the success which has attended the
Association. Mechanical inventions from
distant States, New York, Ohio, Penn
.sylvania and others, not excepting the
splendid specimens Of Gilman & Co., of
New Orleans, will come up for exhibit
ton on the days set apart by the direc-
ton, when cotton and sugar planters,
lumber dealers and millers, will have
an opportunity Of judging 0 fthe merits Of
the various machinery, and likewise of
introducing the most modern and rigid
economy into the working of their es-
adjustments. .7
IL The following awards among others,
were made on the first days exhibition:
Best Durham Bull-lst premium, j.
A. Dougherty.
Best Durham cow. A. Dougherty.
Rest Devon Cow and Calf. A. Nc

Best Sow-lst premium, VIM. Mark

Best pair Match Horses for carriage

The attendance on the second day
was much larger than on the preceding
one. The spacious grounds were lite
rally filed with interested spectators
from all parts Of the state-Legislators,
planters, mechanics and ladies, all
crowded the arena to admire and criti-
else the exhibitions submitted to their
tastes. i

RAREY, THE HORSE TAMER.-Rarey, the
American horse tanner, was coming
money at last accounts in Paris. He
gave his exhibition in the Cirque Napo-
leon, and the receipts h night left him
$4,000 clear profit. A Paris letter states
that an incompetent interpreter had
been engaged, who made dreadful havoc
With French nouns, articles and verbs,
to the uprorious amusement of every
body. The people On the upper benches
cnuld hear nothing, and yelled "plus
haut! plus hautl" (louder! louder!) in
a way which forcibly reminded the
writer of the Bowery pit. To this hint
the interpreter, an Englishman, impu-
IDENTIFY replied, in indescribable French,
"You cannot hear me because you are
too far off; why didn't you take first
class seats, lower DOWN." This speech
was sufficiently understood to raise such
a storm of Indignation that the gentle
man from England hastily beat a retreat
from the ring, and was glad enough to
get off with whole bones. After the re-
tirement of the Briton, Mr.. Rarey dis
pensed with explanations, and went
through his experiments in a manner to
prove the simplicity and excellence of
his system. From Paris he was going
to Egypt.

The CAMEL ON THE PLAINs.-1n a recent
letter to the War Department, Lieut..
Beale writes:
l have lately tried, ef~ectually, the
comparative value of mules and camels,
as pack animals. The experiment leaves
the palm with camels. Both trains re-
ceiving orders to start at the same time,
in the morning, the camels invariably
arrive at camp Tin a distance of twenty
five miles) an hour, and sometimes an
hour and twenty minutes, ahead of the
mule train; the mules carrying a burden
Of two hundred pounds, the camels
packed with four hundred, besides a
rider, armed with rifle, revolver and
ammunition, and his bedding laid over
the pack to sit on. The young are great
pets in camp, but very mischievous-
poking their noses into every bag, pot
and pan about the camp fires. Their
great aim in life at present seems to be
to ape the and habits of their
sires-kneeling down and growing and
complaining, precisely as the old ones
do whenever the train is packed. We
have entirely discontinued the cumber-
some Oriental apparatus used as a sad
die, and have in its place n of light,
useful and simple construction.

Q on the improperly of sacrilegously
touching property which has been set
aside for school purposes.
The Commissioner at Washington
having, as we understand the question,
decided that the fragmentary lots, set
aside in the surveys as equivalent to
the sixteenth sections in townships Of
irregular survey, were. subject to entry,
some Of our wide awake spectators
were anxious to have the same doctrine
applied to the reserved lots, coded to
Louisiana under the swamp land dona-
ton bill. Their object has been trust
rated by the honest vigilance of our
Governor, wins seems determined that
the rights. Of the youth Of Louisiana to

mrWe learn with pleasure, that the
bill which passed the House, restricting
the Jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of
Louisiana to questions Of law, has been
killed in the Senate. Our readers will
recollect that as soon as this bill was
presented, we strongly combated its
provisions as inexpedient and danger
Gus. We are now glad to hear that our
distinguished Senator, Mr.. Phillips. con-
tributed greatly to its defeat in that
body where he represents us with marked
ability and diligence.
The law redistricting the State into
judicial districts, has passed both Houses,
and by this time has without doubt be-
come law. The Judges salary is in
creased from two thousand five hundred
dollars, to four thousand dollars. This
is but just, as his duties, at least in the
district to which we belong, are more
than doubled, he having, under the new
law, four parishes to preside in, instead
of two. How it has happened, while
the reduction of the districts is only
from eighteen to thirteen. this. district
should be made to consist Of four par
ishes instead Of two, we must confess
we cannot apprehend.
