painful duty to record the death, by
drowning, last Wednesday afternoon,
Of. Fred Prouty,. son Of Joel Prouty,
of this city, aged 10. years. Above
the dam and nearly opposite the
steam mill, is shallow place caused
by sand bar, and several Of the
young boys Of his age were enjoying
their usual sport of bathing. Fred.
while wading along on the bar, came
suddenly to very deep water aud
went under, 1t ID thought, before he
could turn back. He was not seen
alive after that, except his feet once.
Crowds Of people were soon assem-
bled on the bank and search was al
once instituted. His body was found

fnt went under. he swas > hoyioi
more than ordinary promise and was
loved by his young associates. This
sl1ould BE warning tosthe youth Of
this town to be more careful. 1t has
often been feared that more would
meet the same sad fate. The dam is
too deep. They should look for 4
place of less danger to enjoy their
popular sport.

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.-The Sc.
we're thunder storm which was seen
towering around us on the west last
Friday, did not spend its fury unti
it reached this city, about IL O'Clock
i'm the evening.
The Post Office building on Main
Street and q tree In the south eastern
part of town were struck by light
ming, though DO particular damage
was done aud no Que was injured.sv
The roof Of the Post ONCE build
ing WINS torn up In several places
but the flash did not set 10 ON fire.
In the billiard room directly under
were several of our young men play.
ing billiards and into this hall the
lightning passed but left only small
mark where It followed the wires
over the tables into the wall. The
lights were extinguished and the
youngmcn were considerably shock
ed, SO much so that as soon as they're
covered sufficiently to take view o
the situation, they vamoosed the
rancho, concluding ii about time fol
men of steady habits to be at home
Aftertthe lightning passed into Tho
allfrom the tally wires Of the billiard
room, no trace of it Is found untiliI
reached the cellar Under the store O
&. b. Stiison i'm the same building
There 1t seemed to concentrate all Its
fury by splitting post In the middle
of the cellar, into kindling wood
Nothing else was injured and No
marks can be found where it wen,
down into the cellar from the other
part of the building 1T was certain
Iva very singular freak of the lele
ments and close call for those who
were In the building when 1t was
struck.

SATURDAY Morning. August T. 1879 !
Yesterday was the warmest day that we had for
some weeks past. The clouds which for month
back have obscured the sky and given us at least
one shower day, disappeared almost entirely.
and our time honored acquaintance, :" Old SOL"
shone forth with apparently renewed vigor-ss
though bent on making up for lost opportunities.
We have no improvement TO note in business.
During the past week but little freight has found
its way to the landing.
e. The arrivals since our last report embraced the
Gen. Quitman, Capt. feathers, from Vicksburg,
with eight bales Of cotton and large quantity Of
miscellaneous freight Hetty Gilmore, Capt. King.
from Lsfourche, with snndries; Aloe, Captain
Rsdovich, from lower coast; Flicker, Captain
Aucoin, from Thibodsux, with her usual COM
plement OF chickens. eggs, etc.; Grey Eagle,
Capt. Barsnco. from Bayou Sara.
