The last number OF the Empire PARISH Of
pire parish Of Louisiana has not in it q word of
general or local news, except the proceedings Of
the police jury and some judicial advertisements.
Can rot our friend Caro- give rs q few items Of
local interest now and then.
Blackburn's Had raises the name Of Beast But.

1t is pleasant in these distressful times. to read
such cheerful news as the following, which we dad
in the HOuma (rerrebOnne parsh) Guard of the
7th: The past week has been favorable for plant.
fng, gardening etc., and much work has been
done. Some OF our planters have finished plant
ing cane while others are progressing finely.
Seed cane, has, generally, kept well during the
winter, and from present prospects this parish will
have more acres planted this year 10 cane than in
any previous year since the advent of the federal
armies.
Albert Pike, as we learn from the Telegraph, Is
10 visirhonroe next month 20 install the officers
Of the new Lodge Of Perfection to be opened
there.
The distress Of our people may be Judged from
the following fact stated by the Ouachita Tele.
graph Of the 5th Within the last two weeks, one
plantation in this parish, which could not have
been purchased before the war for less than SIS,
parish and well improved, sold for something over
war, lying near the railroad, was sold some weeks
ego fer about the same figures. Wherever Land
IL brought 10 the hammer IL sells for a mere song
We have never known such openings for capital
there are now IN lands on the 0uachita river not
that they are sterile, sickly or unimproyed, but
because there is no money In the country to be in
vested.

POLICE COURT.-This Court present
ed quite business-like appearance on
yesterday morning. The Hall was
graced with the appearance of some
half dozen ladies, who had been sum-
moned rs witnesses.
Conrad Reilly was arraigned for an
assault, and the testimony being pretty
strong against him, the Judge fined
him $40 and cost.
Lewis Stephens was called up, charg-
ed with an assault on Matilda Ormant.
This case was somewhat complicated,
and the testimony on the part of the
complainant was strong and conclusive.
But as all cases have two sides, So had
this. The defense had some half-dozen
witnesses, who saw and heard the dis
turbauce, but did not see Stephens strike
any one. The fuss grew out of the de-
NAL of Mr.. G. to the other party the use
of his hydrant, which they seemed de-
termined to use, and the trouble was
the ejectment of the trespassers from
his premises. AS the woman, Matilda,
had testified that Stephens had slapped
her in the face, the Judge, after stating
what was the law in such cases, thought
that some little force, more than neces
sary, had been used, and placed the fine
at 81 and cost, but before he left the
Hall RENTED the fiHe, leaving the de
feadaAt to pay the cost. These neigh
borhood broils are troublesome.

WILL 1T BE DONE.-From the deep
murmurings of the people living in the
vicinity of the little wire bridge, about
the inconvenience to which they are
subjected since the closing of said
bridge, we apprehend that the city au-
thorities will be compelled to do some
thing to accommodate them. 1t is de-
monstrated now that it is useless to
expend any more money on this rickety
old thing that is called a bridge. But
the amount of travel which, from neces-
sity, seeks crossing of Wheeling creek,
at or near the point where the con-
demned bridge is located, admonishes
the city fathers that q permanent and
reliable bridge should be constructed
The stone bridge is in dangerous con-
dition, and, unless something is done
by way of providing a good and suffi-
cient crossing elsewhere, the citizens OF
Wheeling may be placed in situation,
before long, that all communication be-
tween the two sections on each side OF
the creek will be entirely cut off. To
prepare for such fearful contingency
should prompt some action on the part
of those to whom the welfare of the city
is entrusted, in relation to this I'M
portant matter.

RUNAwAY-BoY Enthusiastically in
the forenoon team of horses attached
to a market wagon ran off on Fourth
street, upsetting the wagon AID throw
ing out n boy on the curb-stone and
hurting him badly. 1t appears the
team belonged to Mr.. johnson, living
in the neighborhood Of Short Creek,
who was around delivering marketing
that had been engaged, and while at
the house of DR.. Delaplain. had left the
boy in the wagon to hold the horses.
BY some accident the lines dropped
down in front of the wagon and the
horses started off Immediately. In turn
ing, the wagon was upset and the boy
thrown out. The wagon fell over the
boy, but, fortunately, as the vehicle
turned over the horses became olsen
gagged from the wagon and ran as far
as Richard Nolan's coal bank before
they were stopped. The boys head and
face struck the curb stone, bruising the
side of the face badly. Had the wagon
been dragged by the horses, the boy, in
all probability, would have been killed
or badly mangled. The boy was taken
into the Office of DR.. Allen, OH Fourth
street, who dressed his wounds. The
boy was able to ride home in the even
ing. Not much damage was done to
the wagon, excepting the breaking Of
the dash board. The horses were not
injured at all.

MORE PoLEs.-It is astonishing to
note the march of enthusiasm. If the
Democrats of Wheeling continue to
raise poles for two weeks more as they
have done for the past two weeks, the
city will present, at distance, the ap-
pearance of crowded ship-port, where
naught but tall masts peint to the
clouds. Yesterday the Club, composed
of Centre aud Webster townships, I'M
dertook to raise pole, the height OF
which, above ground, would have been
one hundred and thirty-five feet. But
when at the point where the greatest
strain was on the splice, it broke. For
tunately, no one was hurt. 1t will be
fixed again, and rill be put up. No OBJ
stacle will prevent the indomitabie
Democracy fiom accomplishing their
purpose-not even that mountain which
has been magnified out of molehiH-
Grant. The pole will be raised at four
o'clock this afternoon.

RIVER NEws.-The river is swelling a
little, with twenty-seyen inches by the
marks. There is no regularity, now,
among the boats. Tomorrow morning
is the trip for the New State, bnt it is
extremely doubtful whether she makes
the landing in time, if at all.
Yesterday the Arrowline cleared for
Parkersburg at II A. NJ; the Sewickley
for Sunfish at P. NJ. and the Elk for
Steubenville at about p. NJ. She took
two barges in tow, and, from the speed
at which she started, she may reach
Steubenville by Z o'clock this morning.
Boats leaving to-day-The Laura No.
2, for Parkersbnrg, at II A. NJ; the Ro-
yer, for Marietta, at IL A. NJ; the Sc
wickley, for Sunfish, at 3 P. NJ, and the
Elk-if she gets back in time-for
Steubenville, at 2 p. NJ.

Under these favoring auspices very gratifying
progress has been made in extending the railroad
track from both directions. Nearly 1000 miles
of the Main Line and cOnverging Branches he.
tween the Missouri River and the base of the
Rocky Mountains have been built within three
years. The CENTRAL Pacific RAILROAD has
also steadily and successfully carried the Main
Stem Line from the steamboat navigation of the
Pacific to tine summit of the Sierra Nevada, and
into the Great Salt Lake Basin east Of the Cali
fornia line Having overcome by far the most
difficult and expensive portion of the whole
line, the probabilities of the through connection
with the Eastern lines being effected in $50
amount almost 10 certainty.

was one of the defenders of Baltimore in

to large number of our citizens, and
will no doubt be a paying investment

Improvement made at an early day.
