From the Honraa Civic Guard. !


Few persons not familiar with the geography Of
this parish, have any idea Of its advantages as an
agricultural region, to say nothing Of the superior
richness Of its soil and the wonderful salubrty Of
its climate.
From its great extent Of sea coast, we have a
delightful sea breeze, which, during our long
summers springs mp, Just as the sun IS getting too
kigh to be comfortable, rendering the day rieal-
am, and bringing with it health, strength and long
life, to all who do not outrage nature by excess.
Tie land having been formed, in ages past, by the
deposits of the Mississippi, the whole parish is a
deep, rich alluyal, that can never be exhausted.
The parish is traversed by several nayiGabe streams
most of which empty into the gulf. OF these the
Grand Caiilou, the Little Cailou, and the Dniarge,
head near the town of HOuma. The TeIreboEne,
the Black, the Blue, and Chackahoua take their
rise near the dividing line between this parish and
LafOurche Interior The lands on these streams
are very rich, and are laid out, some il large,
princely plantations others in densely populated
settlements. Before the war, these plantations
were so many immense fields of sugar cane, upon
each Of which stood palatial manufactory, each
surrounded with innEmerabe smaller buildings for
dwellings, stables, etc.
Neariy all these plantations being situated On
naYieabic streams, the facilities for shipping their
crops and receiving supplies can hardly be
eqHaled by any interior parish i'll the State. OW-
ing to the many advantages oar planters possessed
lands in this parish, before the war; sold at almost
fabulous prices Alas for, the uncertainty ct ter
resrial things many OF these priucciy plantations
w AVA
a 1.-THE Of their former value.
The ''SeLtlemcnts'' above alluded to are made
up of small homestcads of few acres each which
have in many instances descended from father tC
son from generation TO generation. These are onl
cTeo,es. They are, for the most part, good ivers
| kind and hospitable to strangers; but they gene
rally lack that ',go ahead'' element, so peculiar
to the Yankee nation. They take the world easy
| and, as q general rule, they are not over anxious

generally cultivate their little farms in corn, rice

Too LARGE AN ESTIMATE OF His OWN SHaEwD-
NEss.-On Saturday night last, somewhere at the
upper end of Dauphin street, an elderly gentle
nan, then in company with three sharpers, was
warned by friendly policeman Of The character of
his associates. The reply was" am perfectly
able to take care of myself, and 60 not wish for
your advice as to my choice of friends The
policeman of course, felt the rebuff and LETT the
testy old codgcr to look out for himself which the
sequel shows he was incompetent to do. An hour
or two after, while the policeman was walking his
beat, thinkiugf no doubt, of the perversity OF
human nature, who should walk hurriediy up to
him and claim his official services but the old fel-
low whom he had warned short time before. He
hurriedly told the officer that his friends" " had
plucked him to the tune Of $ll0 and some papers
. of no value to any one except the owner" In
| stead of laughing at :" old confident" we arc
afraid we should laye done, the guardian weut
promptly with him to the place where he had las
seen Ills Z" friends" but nary friend could be found
| The policeman promised TO keep sharp lookout
| for the early birds who had successfully caught
the worm, and the old fellow started for his hotel
silently swearing within himself to pay attention
to the next sensible advice lie should receive
whether from policeman or otherwise:

SENECA, Nov. 70, 1866.
Dear 7rader-I notice the short letter Of
that popinjay," your correspondent M
caused quite a commo,ion in the camp of the
Union Leaguers Of this town. | can't see
why it hurt heir dignities so much, unless
they dislike the truth. Mr.. S. b., woolly
head says the Republicans of Seneca were
well satisfied with Parson Perkins speech.
Perhaps most of them were but it did no,
please me, and thought had right to say
so. ! should not, however, have taken any
notice Of the matter, had not CHANGED, on
yesterday to get hold of an Ottawa Repubi-
can, ian article, in this quarter, like the
grace of God in n squre's office-mighty
scarce, and seen in it an ungentle manly ut.
tack on two of our best citizens, DIR. jackson
aud his brother VIM. Jackson. Now they
had just much to 40 with that letter of
NJ. as Mr.. Woolley head Burwell had. DIR.
Jackson is called "popinjay" and other
hard names, because he happens TO keep the
post oflice-sh, yes, the post Office taking
the butter off one mans bread and putting
il on his own. There is exactly where the
shoe pnches, and why so good and pi,us a
man as s. Burwell loses his temper; for
after all, Mr.. b. is clever old gsntleman-I
amt fooling-and like all parties about cleo.
ton times was little too quick. When
Father Perkins starts that Democratic paper
in Seneca, Mr.. S. B. will write for it, and 90
will your correspondent NJ, and you can
make up your mind it will sell like hot
cakes, and the Free Trader will be no.

In making up his list of papers, now as
the old year is about to expire, for the COM
ing year, every man who takes the least in
terest in mechanical or scientific improve,
ment will make a mistake if he omits the
SCIENTIFIC AMERIcAx. 1t is eonfessedly the
best publication of the kind in America.
The commencement Of a new volume, on the
1st of January, is to be signalised by i.s
enlargement to the size of tho most costly
scientific journals Of Great Britain, without,
however, increasing the subscription price,
which will remain as Low, So a year.
The Scientific american. as most of our
readers know, is devoted TO the industrial
arts and sciences. lts editorial department
is very ably conducted. many Of the best
scientific writer's in tins country and Europe
being contributors to its pages. Most of it.
subjects are illustrated by costly engrsvings,
executed BY the best artists in the word
Another feature is, that it publishes officially
every patent issued by the Government, and
each number not only gives all the paten,
claims of tho week: but copious notices Of all
new Inventions in this country and Europe
And high merit is, that it treats all these
mstters in plain English, without bothering
Its readers with hard words and dry details.
