NJ New Orleans has had q storm-a

must have been the same that visited us
last week and did so much mischief. The
city papers are full Of rich scenes which
occurred in the overaowed portions
among the navigators from house to
house or to terra 6rma ; at the same time
mention ID made of the great distress
among the poor people who we're unable to
leave their premises for supplies Of food.
New OIleans occasionally smuses her
self with those aquatic diversions. not
that shs is peculiarly entitled to them,
but because they come spontaneously
Sometimes Lake P~ontchartrs;n takes a

water to spare in the thoroughfares Of the
