THE MULE AND HORSE
TRADE.--More mules and horses
have been sold in Bossier par
fish, within the last four months,
than ever was before i'll any
one year. We can make only
a rough estimate Of the num-
Der, but we are certainly be-
low the mark, when we place
it at two thousand. The ma
iority Of these animals are
worthless forthe pillow or wagon,
but they will eat fully as much
as good mules.

our parish to remain ever I'M
improved, What the freedman
makes, he spinds in ponies and
other folIies; and what the
whitemau makes. he spinds il

we are glad to know that Mis-
souri, and Texas are profting
by our fertile soil.

LINDSEY LETTER.

LIEpsEY O., Nov. I4th, 1870.
Mn. Ep1loR Since the recent rail road
disaster, an account of which appeared in the
Journal nothing of Importance has transpired
to disturb the usual quiet of our village.
A few days ago, Mr.. L. S. BowersOx met
with an accident which affected him rather
unpIeasantly, and viii probably serve as a
guard against repetition. Returning home
one evening, he got on freight train, and
rode sbout mile, where he wished to get off.
But contrary to his expectation, the train was
going at a pretty rapid rate, and ia jumping
off he was hurled with great force to the
ground He was fortunate in escaping with only
8 few slight bruises, and torn clothes. He
rowed the experiment would never be repeted
Inv him. which resolution would be worthy OF
imitation bv all, for it is evidently dangerous
practice.
The new church building is now nearly
completed, requiring only inside finish 1t
Dresents very neat exterior. The main
structure is surnounted by well proportioned
steepIe. having highth of ope hundred aud
twelve feet, measuring from terra frma. a
bell weighing twelve hundred and fifty pounds,
has been procured and mounted. For its size
it is remarkable good one, and gives gene
raj satisfaction. As soon as the house is com
pleted It will be opened for public services,
and, at q suitable time it will be dedicated
with appropriate cerrnonies to the service of
God. Jam.
