diction brought against the Hon. Pierre Souls, fol-
lowed on The 29th ultimo, similar suit against

alleging that the defendant. Nelvl Souls, was
subject to ats OF madness and insanity. Mr.. Mel.
vii Soul6 having answered the petition In his own
behalf and asked that commission be appointed
to examine into his condition, Dr. Alfred Mercier,
slIopsthist. and Dupsquier, homeopathic, were
appointed - such Q commission and the case
was submitted to the court together with the
reports.
Judge Duvigneaud decided In favor Of the defend.
ant, diminishing the petition in the following words
The court, considering the joint report OF the
physicians appointed BY the court to examine the
mental condition Of defendant; and considering
further, that according to Art. 1856 of the Civil
Code, / have repaired several times to the domi-
oil Of the defendant and there have thoroughly
examined and Intercepted him upon several mat
tiers, and especially upon the manasement OF hi.
business, and that ] have found defendant
upon these several occasions fully master Of his
mind and understanding, and that am Of the
opinion concurrently with the report OF the
physicians, that the defendant 10 not unsound
e. alleged; 1t is therefore decreed that the pet.
ton praying for the Introduction Of Nelvil Soul6
be dismissed and that there be judgment In favor
of defendant with costs.
The public will learn with pleasure by the result
covered from his protrscted illness that the
case was virtually Withdrawn, the proceedings
having been entered into only for forms sake.
Il is only to be regretted that the condition OF
the Hon.. Pierre 6oue does not encourage any
hope Of bis recovering soon.

Remarkable schools aided are graded-ele.
mentary schools, open to all white children domi
ciled within or near the respective towns. Each
OF them ia in charge Of competent and acceptable
teachers, selected by local board OF citizens,
acting ss trustees, at the request Of the local
agent for LouIsians. Aid has been granted at the
rate of 80 cents per pupil per month. In conform
ity to the liberal plsn prescribed by Rev. B. Sears
general agent. A local treasurer, appointed by
the trustees, acting grstuitously and under bond
to make faithful disbursements and semi annual
reports is the depositary Of the fund and books
donated. Owing to the general poverty Of the
people the teachers have incurred constant sscri-
fees to keep the schools in operation; but 1t is
believed that In most of the towns their efforts
have been appreciated and warmly seconded by
the local trustees. The schools in Baton Rouge
have been bat recently opened. Most opportune
and acceptable to the people of Louisiana has
been Mr.. Peabody's noble Rft.

has done 90 much, not only in this instance but in
