Messrs. J. s. Kennedy 8 CO., Of
New York, bondholders, make a
statement, which we find in the
Houston Union of the 9Th, in sup
port of their application to the
State for the relief asked in the bill
for the relief of the Texas and New
Orleans Railroad Company, pre-
sented to the Legislature in May,
1870. They represent that they
have recently loaned large sums
Of money to the Receiver now in
charge of the property, for tie
purpose Of repairing the road and
putting it in good working condi-
ton; that, this accomplished, but
little more than one hundred miles
of road remain to be constructed
to unite the cities of Houston and
New Orleans; and say it is be-
lieved and confidently asserted,
that within twelve months the
trains can be running with security
and speed from one city to the
other. The bill viii probably soon
be under discussionin the Legisla-
ture, and we sha9 then have full
information as to its details.

A char factogg has been started
ia Lagrange. Texas Why is it
that some enterprising men do not
turn their attention to this place ?
We have sn he facilities and ne
cessaries for factories st different
kinds, with D port open to the
world. a broom factory would do
wen here, and as the broom corn
grows wen in this parish, several
Of our planters intend giving the
culture Of it their attention next
year. a door and sash factory
could do a large and profitable
business at this place, as lumber
Is cheap and can be delivered at
The establishment direct from the
saw hills without cost fOr trans
portation. The castor bean pro-
duces well, the yield has proven to
equal that grown anywhere in the
United States-this, too, could lie
made a profitable business to the
undertaken Of making oil. We
have the facilities Of making good
and fine leather, which has already
been proven By one Of our citizens
who was engaged in that business,
ia this place, for several years.
We have the bark and hides i'm
mediatoly at hand, consequently
the outlay required would be small
to embark into this business. We
have upwards Of seventy sail vessels
according to the customhouse
officers statement-plying between
here and Texas, which would al
ford sufficient employment to good
sail-makers to make this business
a lucrative one. We have good
fresh water, unsurpassed by any
in the country, and an endless
amount of tall grass which, from
the statement Of Mr.. Shyrock, the
originator of steam paper manu-
facture, would make excellent pa
per, and pay handsomely to the
undertaken of establishing paper
mill in our midst. There are va.
rious other branches of business
too numerous just now to mention
that could be proftably carried OF
in this parish, but the principa
thing needed here at present il
good, industrious and reliable
farmers, to put into cultivation tn,
fine and fertile lands that are nov
laying idle. We have just th,
country for a poor man, living j
cheap, and money to be made, and
any person who can't make a gooc
support in this parish, he had bet
ter not try.it anywhere else in tn
United States, but leave immedi
ately for another world.

SATURDAY. NAY II. 1870. :
Terrible Aeeid.n,-Fr. ana L,u Of Life.


At 10 O'Clock on Thursday nigh, one Of the
most terrible accidents that ever oeeurred in
this State, took place in Elko. Two young
men. Henry and James Campbell, the Oldest
sons of . widow lady, were so badly burned
by the explosion Of a can Of berziue that
Henry Campbell died yesterday morning at 7
O'Clock. and James is not expected 20 hive
James Campbell has for some time been e1-
Perimenting on the manufacture of a cheap
burning fluid, and has met with such success
in the compromising OF the material that it
has been constantly used for lighting pur-
poses by the family. On Thursday he pro
cured a Eve gallon package of benz;ae. some
alcohol, camphor and oil Of s,srsafras, and in
the evening occupied his time in mixing the
same into fluid that he called Sunlight Oil.
At few minutes before 10 O'Clock when in
the act of pouring an admi1tnre tha; he had
prepared into the large can, the vapor caught
fire from candle, and instantly ignited the
benzine, causing An explosion which envel-
oped the whole house in flames. The younger
brother was in bed at the time. The door had
been locked and egress was impossible. as the
key could not be found. The boys, however,
eNSSttHeN IA AuAsNIilS open, In
getting out, but not until Henry vas literally
roasted, and James was so badly burned about
the head and breast that il was impossible 10
identify him. The explosion was heard by
the neighbors and is represented as sounding
like q ! rolonSed applause in q theater. In
slant assistance went up and conveyed
Henry TO a neighboring house, where his
wounds were dressed and proper remedies
administered by DIR. White, who luckily hap
pened 10 lie on the street when the fire broke
out. The elder brother reports tkat at the
time of the Sighting of the benzIne his brother
was in bed, and that the fire spread so rapidly
that they were both completely bevildered
at the time. From the present appeal
anee Of james Campbell there is hardly any
hope OF his recovery, as il is thought that the
flames he inhaled will prove fatal. Outwarily
his face, neck and hands are frightfuily burnt.
The body of Henry is literally charred, and j,
was surprising that he fingered as long as he
did These boys are the oldest of family Of
seven children, aud have been the main sup
port Of the family for long time. Indus
trious, frugal aud honest, they have ALWAYS
been liked by our people. The sad calamity
has cast gloom over the whole community.

TADyERrIsEMENT.

Noticing an article in The Independent of
March 5th. headed Infants and Children"
and also m article in the issue of May llth.
entitled " Scarlet Fever, and its Maternal
Management. " after carefully reviewing
said articles. and finding them TO contain
more evil than good, as a physician, feel it
my duty to answer them. The idea that the
professional gentleman holds out that the ten
der infant might languish and die before the
mother would be aware of its distress, is per-
fectly absurd. Although the infant may be
incapable of speaking to the mother in Ian
guage. just and wise Creator has endowed it
with that acute sensibility that the least symp-
tom OF disease so manIiests itself that the
mothers suspicious are soon aroused that
something is wrong. ! call the attention of
parents TO this particularly, as 1t will save
them mourning the unnecessary expense of
employing n physician TO attend their chill
dren IN health. The gentIeman's remarks on
the signs of health and diseases of the in
FAINT may be looked upon more TO give him
self notonety than the benefit that may be
derived from them. The manner in which
he cautions the innocent mother a. 10 de-
stroyIng the life of her child with patent
drugs and caIelessly ne2lecting IL, ! think is
entirely without foundation, and Is an insult
TO any moral and intelligent community. The
talented professional, in his article the
" Maternal Management of Scarlet Fever"
has undertaken to spread himself 10y copvlug
self, thus showing great want Of ability 20
support his egotism.
Not wishing 10 make his articles look more
odIous IN the eyes OF the public than they nat
urIly appear, will give all the credit that is
due him, wherein he SAYS that drupsy il a
most common after-diSordrr in scarlet fever.
After carrying the idea OF his great experience
III the treatment of that malady, he speaks
only of two cases that came under his obsCE-
yatIOu.
So much for his experience. Again. we
notice him in another paragraph, when he
speaks Of his beautiful expression, Sc A. the
twlg Is bent the tree naturally inclinoS." This
he claims a. being applicable TO human life
such being the case, parents have only to refer
TO his remarks to use the proper disCriinina-
ton IN the selection Of n medical attendant
As the gentleman wishes II 20 hc undo rsto0d
that he IL GOOD on scarlet fever, he leaves
Us to wonder il he is good on anything else.
There being no scarlet fever within our midst
at the time Of his writing. / should Judge he
was preparing himself for an epidemic Of that
kind, which i presume he is looking for with
an anxious eye, that he may increase his IA
tIonS.
| presume he intends his articles ne the
groundwork To support him as qualified
physician. II so. / have only to saw that if
he bhses his qualifications upon such articles
Us these referred To. the reader has only 10 pc-
ruse them 10 be satisfied of his ability.
