u While in Minden last Saturday,
during q reconnaissance in that
place, in search Of an ''item"-which
was furnished us-we were suddenly
brought to halt, at the mammoth Dry
Goods store of Messrs. Chaffe IL Good
will--where we found large assort-
ment of Dry Goods, Groceries, planta-
ton supplies, &C., exhibited for sale
on the most reasonable terms immagi-
nable. Our next discovery was, to
find our old friend, Sam. Culpepper-
a genuine died-in- the-wool rebel, for
merly of the "Minden Rangers"-on
''extra duty" in attending to the orders
of his friends and the many customers
of this popular house. Sam-as in the
days of rebelion-can always be found
Eat his post" where he will be happy
to serve his triends-and certainly
there is not more clever and urbane
gentleman in Minden, than Sam. Gull
pepper-as his many friends will bear
evidence of the fact.

T We have never seen our citizens
appear more responding than at the
present time. Taken in whole, it does
seem that we are truly, for the time
being at least, an unfortunate and
doomed people. Last May, when the
hopes of our planters on Red River
were the brightest, the devastations of
the disastrous overflow, swept away al
most all hope of success among them !;
yet there was hope left in the heart
and men looked brayely forward for
" better luck next time !" and as soon
as the waters Of old Red had subsidized,
enc and ell went brayely to work to
repair, as far as possible, the wreck oc-
casfoned by the food. For awhile, the
prospects were encouraging, if not fat
tering, to our planters but alas !!
how apparent the axiom-"Man pro-
poses, but God disposes." Misfor-
tune has followed fast and followed
faster" in the wake ofthe agricultu-
raj interest Of our people-the only
true basis of prosperity. First, the
excessive rains in the Spring. next the
overflow followed by drought parch-
ing up everything, being relieved by
another rainy season. Gaping the eli
max by the visitation of the ''army
worm''--has almost cut off all hope.
and blasted the bright prospects of
many sanguine heart that had staked
It's al upon the success of this years
crop. And the end is not yet.

I+ The Houma Civic Guard, re-
presents gloomy times in Terrebone

the planters are hopelessly blasted.
and, says the editor:
To add to the general gloom. cIedi-
tors seemto have steeled their hearts
against every generous impulse the
utmost rigor of the law is enforced in
almost every instance, and the - pound
Of flesh" is unblushingly demanded.
