tablisment Of these enterprising gentleman still
continues to receive new accessions of fresh
and genuine articles, directly from Northern
and Eastern cities 1t may now very proper
~ he ranked as first class Southern Drug
Store. In addition to the numerous things
usually kept in such Houses, is to be found a
variety of fancy toilet articles, perfumes, &C.,
&c.

quantity Of Bibles from the South Western
Bible Society. Some of them are bound in
style of elegance scarcely surpassed. Others
are neatly and substantially bound.

DESrlsrRY.-Dr. Carradine, whose rcputa-
ton as skillful Dentist has already preceded
him from New Orleans, is now stopping for
few days in this place. See his card in another
column.
COMMUNICATIONS who are in need of
substantial furniture, or who wish to have their
old furniture repaired and re-varnished, will
do we'll to notice the card of Mr.. Goodman in
to-day's issue.
RArN.--We were again blessed with copious
rain last Tuesday. Doubtless it will prove of
incalculable benefit to our planters. The grow
ing crop of corn needed it very much.
We notice that vegetables are very late in
maturing this season. This is accounted for
in the fact that since Spring has opened we
have had scarcely any rain at all. Up to last
week, the drought had been almost unprece-
denied.
The RvER.-The Ouachita continues to fall
very fast. and navigation must necessarily
close early this season. Formerly, the up
proach of the low-water season would cast a
gloom over everybody and everything. But
things have changed now, since assurances
have been given that the Railroad will be COM
pletcd to this place by the middle of next
October. Nobody seems to care straw now
whether the river keeps up or keeps DOM.
ALMOST CArAsTRoPuE.-One day last week
the rafters Of the large edificc now in process
of construction for the Messrs. King, of this
place, were blown down with q tremendous
crash. There were several workmen in the
building at the time of the occurrence, upon
some of whom the rafters actually fell. But,
owing to some fortuitous circumstance, nobody
was killed or even severely injured.
FlsHING.-The lovers of this delightful sport
will doubtless learn with pleasure that fine
trout and perch are now being caught in the
Chimney, only few miles West of Monroe
Amateurs would do we'll to make note of this.
The McRAE.-This deservedly popular and
prosperous steamer came up to our landing
yesterday morning in fine style, in command of
the veteran Len Moore. We learn she was nm
avoidably delayed beyond her usual time in
consequence of the immense quantity of freight
and passengers she has had to land at various
points on her way up. Thanks to her attentive
officers for files of city papers.
DISTRICT CouRT.--The Spring Term of the
District Court for this Parish, will commence
on Monday next, the 23d inst.
