!, This journal has been appointed to d.
lhe public printing for the Parish of St
Landry, which will not change our rela
lions to our patrons or the public. Unde'
1.-THE act by virtue of which we have beer
. appointed, We n permitted to augment OIL
charges but we do not intend t" avail orr
selves of this privilege, and shall continue
to publish at our former rates, and adhere
I 10 our former Contracts.
We ar. surprised az the .4drertis'r!
miscocstructior of onr article Of week he
for. last. Sentiments are attributed to us
which we never ent rtain,d and which, on
a careful perusnl. We cannot dis yer, by
any manner Of constr ,ction, in the Tti"l'
referred to-. Oar remarks were confined
excl, Siyelv to the i formation or Informant.
and netting was expressed or III rnd"4 il
regard t"that Journal itself. We never
,lonbtpd that the idrrrtiscr received sucI
intormatio for we heard it onr,.l all ulnn,
the st; yr rnurt from Nprion>a> TO New HE
rim. We knew it to be- iucnrrrrt, however,
for The fact, were. to the contrary, and
it did appear ridicnlonS t" us THAI
any one should report that the military
/ would be used to accomplish that tor which
the civil remedy provided by law had al.
ready been r~e~ortei to, and that, too, while
proceedings were pending before the civil
tribunal.
We hope the Adrertiser will receive our
explanation in the same spirit that prompt
ed its remarks to us, and acquit rs of the
charge of journalistic disconrtesy, of (which,
in this ~instanre, We are certainly not guilty.

Cone TO LIrE.-Alexander Fusilier, one
of the six stated in the Republican to have
been killed in this parish, about two months
ago, on account of political opinions, is now
in our parish Jail. Against him is pending
an indictment for larceny an affidavit was
made against him some time since for an
assault with intent to kill and we are in
formed that a6idavits for horse stealing and
and arson will be made against him in a
few days. Mr.. Fusilier is not a Republican
nor ever has been, but, we are told, a
rabid Democratic. Whether Democrat OF
we should not endorse or de-
fend the many violations of law of which
he is accused.

PETERS MUSICAL MONTHLY for May is to
hand, and we'll sustains the proud title it
pears" The Prince ofmusical MonthlieS,''
for if there is any one periodical adapted to
suit the wants of all Lovers of Music, pro-
F%essional or amateur, it is certainly this
Magazine.
The May number comes to US overlooking
with Choice New Music. There are3 four
by Hays, Thomas, banks, and
Eaton; three Piano Pieces; and we notice
new feature in the shape of six pages of
Quartet Music, which will prove a valuable
edition also, a dozen or more pages of
Biographical Sketches and Reviews of new
iusic, that viii be of interest to all Musi.
ians: Being largely engaged in the pub
of Sheet Music, Mr.. Peters has
ways a fresh stock from which to make
lis selections, and seems nothing loath to
raw from his to any required
xtent to make the Monthly what it should
e. Besides the Musical Sketches and Re-
Jews Of Ncw Music, each number contains
o less than thirty full-sized pages of New
[[usic by the best writer's in the coun-
~ aaEaa G s!1sa ,s.. &. :.
When Music is, furnished so cheap, what :,
can afford to be without such a
utilization? s. worth of good Music cannot (
picked up every day for 80 cents, and
e feel justified in saying that a subscrip-
on at So will give as much Music land I
Music, too as you can buy for $50.
