tai punishment on the 18th of last month, for hay

GALLANT AND GAy.--Ihe Harrisonburg (Cata-
houla parishl Independent thus heralds the open
ing of the gay season in that town:
The season of gayety has reopened in our town
Balls parties, el ID 0,ane ges, are all the rage,
and the feature most admirable is the surprise
party institution. The nights are now most pro-
pitious for this pleasantly and our sprghtly bellies
and gay beaux are making good use Of the time.
We are not a dancer, but know pretty well how it
should be done, and like to see it going on-se go
it, young 6 uns; y
But the following, from the same paper, shows
that amid the social pleasures of the place there
have been some unpleasant intruders, who how
ever, upon hint to that effect quickly yamosed
the ranche;''
INVITED TO LEAvE.--A company of three Gap
parently book pedders1 were requested on Mon
day last to depart instanter from this parish
These men have, for several weeks, made our town
their headquarters, and their conduct in the viein-
ty having awakened suspicion that their ayoeation
was not strictly confined to dealing in literature,
were invited by citizens of the parish to try their
calling elsewhere--be it what it may. They com
piled, and we have No further particulars eXplana-
tory Of their case.
STORM IN CoNcoRDrA PARISH. The Concordia
Intelligencer Of the I'd has the following:
severe storm Of hail. rain and wind, passed
over on Sunday morning last. At dark, on the
evening of Saturday, clouds were visible low in the
northwestern horizon, and the tightening played;
these signs taken in connection with the sultriness
of the atmosphere, betokened that storm of some
kind was at hand. AT about midnight 1t burst out
in full force the wind blowing perfect hurricane
hailstones falling thick and of large dimensions,
and the rain descending in torrents. The fury OF
the storm lasted but short time the wind and hail
soon playing out their part, but the rain continued
until morning.
This storm was confined in this parish chiefly to
the river border. Wehear of considerable damage |
being done to cotton below us. Mr.. OiBryans cot
ton was injured slightly, but the plantations of Mr.
Lambdin and Mr.. Henderson were badly damaged,
the bolls and leaves being stripped from the cotton
stalks. This storm came from the same point as |
the memorable tornado, andgmany who remember
that event were fearful that there was to be rep
ettion oft. We seem to have been in the edge of
the hail fall for none fell at the distance of mile
or tive west from Vidalia.
Considerable damage was done over the river.
In Natchez trees, fences, sheds, etc. were blown
down, and we are informed that several extensive
hot houses in the vicinity were nearly demolished
the glass being all broken out
CRoPs IN PoINTH CoUPEE.-The Pointe Coupes
Eeno says:
Another wind and another heavy rain injured
what little cotton was open. Our planters will |
soon be independent of the weather, as they will |
soon have no cotton left to be further damaged |
The prospects in spring were very fine, the dry |
summer, however, had bad effect, and so far the
fall has been perhaps, the most nnfavorable known
to our oldest planters The cotton crop of Tensas
parish will fall short of last year not less than if
teen thousand bales. /
In the National Democrat, published in Rapides /
parish, we find the following
Our friend B. Mallefret has disentombed the re-
mains of some gigantic antediluvian monster We
visited him on Tuesday, when he had succeeded in
aking the upper jaw and head of some animal
bearing some resemblance to the elephant-two
usks, about four feet in length, were taken out
with the jaw and head. From the position of the
emains they had accidentally been scattered, as
he balance of the bones are not yet found. The
spot in which these remains were found is lust G
lew hundred yards above the lower falls, ten feet
rom the present height Of the water, and on the
Alexandria side.
