the following communication from a cores

of Captain Thos. Hunter, of the steamship
Fairbanks, while playing on the dock at
Smithrile, was struck by plank and inn

swimmer, caught the girl as she came up the
second time. Miss Stuart Immediately
struck out for the shore, but as the child

cling to the posts of the dock until suffi-
GENTLY recovered to swim to the shore with
her burden.
All honor is due to this brave girl, who
has twice been instrumental in saving the
life of her fellow beings. For a service at

Ida Lewis, of Newport, r. l., was presented
with many things of value. Let us not be

- The sugar crop Of Louisiana
for last year, is, estimated at 1885,
000 hogsheads Of sugar and 20O,-
900 barrels of molasses, worth at
current prices over S20,000,000,
against $4,000 hogsheads Of sugar
last year, and the same proportion
Of molasses; or, in round figures.
a total Of not one third Of the pro
duction this season. Next year
it is said that 100000 hogsheadt
of sugar will be produced, because
the planters generally in Louis

of their cane for seed. In some
instances the entire crop of plan
tations has been reserved for this
purpose.

as follows from the Crescent of

AS a specimen Of the refined and
elegant manner in which our leg
islators relieve. the tedium of max
ing laws for the once sovereign
State Of Louisiana, we may men
ton that during yesterdays SEES
sion Of the Lower House, while
Hon. Heidenhain (who was so
overwhelmed with crockery fayors
last sunmer) was on his legs rtak-
ing a brilliant speech, some one
removed the chair which was be-
hind him. The result was that
when Hon. Henry resumed his
seat, he continued his decent rath-
er longer than he had expected;
sending his heels high into the
air and coming down on the floor
with an awful bump. at this
soul-elevating sight, the House
became couvulsed with laughter,
and it was sometime befor the ex-
cornfield cultivators and immi-
grants could regain composure suf,
ficent to enable them to resume
their arduous eight dollars perday
labors.

10 WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
The Lockport daily Union gets off
the following first-rate paragraph I:
off you wish to keep town from
thriving, don't put up any more.
houses than you can conveniently
occupy yourself. If you should
accidentally have an empty dwell
ling, and any one wants to rent
it, just ask him about three times
the actual value of it. Demand
Shylock price for every spot of
ground that God has given you a
stewardship over. Turn a cold
shoulder to every mechanic or
business man seeking a house
among you. Look at severy new
conner with scowl. Run down the
work OF every new workman. Go
abroad for wares, rather than
trade with those who do business
in your midst. Fail to advertise
or in any manner support your
papers, SO that people abroad may
not know whether business flour
ishes in your town or not. Wrap
yourself up in coat of impervious
selfshness. There is no more eff
fectual way to retard the growth
of a town than actions like those
enumerated"
