Of St. Helena Parish has left at this otce spec:-
men Of broom made by him out of corn of his own
raising. The article is superior one in every res.

! anywhere. Mr.. Campbell informs us that planting
broom corn and manufacturing brooms can be
| made very profitable business among the poor
lands on the lake shore, the corn grows lu,-uri
emily, and all other materials are to be had cheap.
We hope that it will be attempted, and that broomG
| enough TO supply this market be made.

! greater number than ever before, thirteen hun
| dreG and five families receiving supplies The

| posed upon them in a manner to challenge the ad
| mration of all, even those disposed to be fault
| finding and captions. Indeed, we think them so
eminently fitted for their positions that had they
not been where they are, the whole affair woul6
have been failure. The following articles ware
given out: SO bbls meal, DO. rice, do. cr.ts,
do. green corn, do. cowpeas, do. ochra o.
| do. moasses, do. mess beef, CT. bills. white

boxes SOAP, { nd immense quantities of vegetables

RECORDER EMERsoH's COURT. = Mrs. Rachael
| Adams, whose house was Of those burned
Thursday night, on BaroHne street, was arragned
on a charge of arson, it being asserted by I. Fet-
ger, the man who kept the shoe store on the
corner, that she set her house on fire. Upon eX-
animation it appeared that the charge had not
even the appearance of probability and originated
apparently, out of malice on the part of Fetzer,
who has been on bad terms with Mrs. Adams for
some time. She was therefore honorably dis
charged.
There was circumstance particularly hard in
this case. Mrs. A. had little orphan living with
her, which she had raised and loved with par
ticular fondness. This child was horribly burned by
the fire, and died during the night, while she was
locked up in prison on this charge. Her grief or
learning the event was frantic. 49,.
William Martin, accused of having cut and dan
gerously wounded E. Z. Stafford, was sent to 5pri
, son to await the result of the wound.
