The Feliciana Democrat Of Saturday last says:
In the early part Of the past week the Windows
of Heaven were opened, and the rain that fell be-
tokened q second delrge. The water courses were
filed to OVERLOOKING, thus cutting Of for several
days all mail communication, particularly by the

spring like. Due advantage OF this ID being taken
by the planter; while in town, every housekeeper
is busily engaged with their flower and vegetable
gardens.

On Thursday Of last week, Hartman Blumenbere
was killed by the accidental discharge Of gun ii
the hands of August Bones The two were ont on
hunt, near White Hall plantation, and while pro-
ceeding through thcket, the gun carried by
Bones caught in a bush, which caused its dis.
charge, the contents entering the back Of Hartman
a little below the right shoulder blade. The de-
ceased was German, about 30 years Of age. He
lived bnt short time after the fatal shot, but ex-
pressed the desire that his companion would write
and inform his father Of his fate
The Lafayette Echo Of Saturday says:
The exodus from this parish Of most Of the sns-
picious characters who had for SO long time in
Tested it, will, we think, be attended by most
happy results. The immigration to our parish,
from Mississippi during the last year has been very
large, and our prairies, which are sparsely settled
are fast filling up with energetic and industrious
set Of people, people who in a few years will,
by their industry, enhance the price of our lands
to ten times the amount Of its present valuation.
The st. Mary's Banner Of Saturday says:
The weather is again pleasant and agreeable in
the extreme, and, from appearances, spring has
set in with full determination to pursue the even
tenor OF its way straight out. A week ago last
night, and the following night also, we had slight
frosts but they did very little harm. On Tuesday
would hold water, and gave the country an old
fashioned soaking. And still the signs III the
heavens seem TO indicate that the supply of water
is not yet exhausted.
An ARRAY occurred few days ago in Columbia,
Caldwell parish between MFR. Barker and Mfr.
Peterson, in which the latter was killed By blows
and kicks fracturing his skull.
