1--WE direct the attention of our
readers to the advertisement Of Mr.. John
N. Bogert, inaanother column.
wThe attention of property holders
in this parish is called to the notice of
r. R. Mcbride in another column.
HAfter a spell of a few days of fair
weather the sky has resumed its iron APP
pearance, and we are now in the fourth
day of a very tedious and, in every
respect, undesirable rain.
U@Damage has already been done to
as great an extent as we can afford. The
loss in the cotton crop so far has been
variously estimated at from one-ffth to
one-third. God grant it go no further;
the latter estimation is sufficient to de-
stroy many fair calculations.
E@J. d. Fulford has opened his store
at McBride's old stand, corner Market
and St. Philip SITS. He has on hand a
large and well selected stock of family
groceries, and nick-nacks innumerable ;
all Of which he is selling at very liberal
terms. Also an excellent article of old
rye," which we cannot express better
than by advising our readers not to take
our word for it, but Ego round and try
it.

our friend of the corner" J. d. Fulford.
the reception of a sample Of that excel

the place where it groaes. Favors of that
kind are always acceptable and duly+ap-
preciated by every man in the office,
even the deva Friend Fulford, give it to
taste to none but those. who can spare
the needful. Though as cheap as other
articles of the kind, it would be hearfless
to tantalize those who, with ~impunity,
can $ smile" at the minor sorts.

little way. People seem to take it very
patiently, as far as we can see why /?
we cannot understand. A bad course
should be stopped, for the more it is en-
couraged the more it will take root and
strengthen. Silence in cases of this kind
is almost completely. How can those in.
power act, if nothing is done on the part
of the hurt except idle street-corner
complaints It is better to say nothing
in those cases, or speak to purpose and
to the proper persons. :
BeIhe District Court, after a short
and rather stormy session in this town,
has this week carried the seat Of its
operations to Houma. We hope our,
junior and amiable young sister will
prove of better composition and have a
nice and quiet time of it.
Our justices Of the peace have also
been pretty busy. We wish we could
say the same of business in general.
Stagnation in trade, beside being by itself
bad enough, is still more to be deplored
on account Of the long tail of evils it

body knows what; and to Avoid being
'dle-not being in general much addicted
TO spiritual meditation-people will CON
egregate and addict themselves to spirits
of some kind or other, and when the
spirits from below raise above, often much
mischief is the consequence ; which mis-
chief a only be settled by the usual
settler of all things in this world. not
exactly the justices of the -peace-alone,
thus rendering stagnation doubly aggra-
waiting. Let US hope for brisk times
home peace will be one Of the foremost
good results.
