Monroe Hook and Ladder COMPANY,

More than twelve months ago a
number of young men Of Monroe, I'M
pressed with the necessity of a hook
and ladder company to act in concert
with the Fire Company already orynn-
lzcd, began the organization of the
present Monroe Hook and Ladder Com
pnny. They encountered, ut the out
set, the prevailing apathy and untavor-
able predictions such enterprises gen
orally meet with, but as they had
started with the resolution to succeed,
they persisted in the work, and, after
various delays, raised Il sufficient
amount of funds by subscription to
purchase an outfit. and forwarded to
Cincinnati an order for the same. The
outfit embraces Il truck, ladders, buck
cts, axes, graphing hooks and ropes:
and is now on the way and daily ex-
pcctcd. The Company will require Il
building, for the rent Of which the Town
Council should become responsible, I'M
til such time rs IL suitable engine house
and hall can be built for both the Fire
and Hook and Ladder Companies, which
ought to be built by the Town. We
append Il list of the officers of the
Hook and LaddcrCompany: President,
r. J. Caldwell: President, ID. A.
Brcard, Jr.; Secretary, S. S. Tatum
Treasurer, J. Quay Chapman; Fore
man, j. S. Richardson; Marx Drcyfus,
S. NJ. McCranie, and r. g. Thurston.
LIST, End and Bird Asst Foremcn The
roll of the Company embraces 40 mem
bers. Its present Indebtedness is about
one hundred dollars, to meet which the
Treasurer has in hand only sixty-eight
dollars. The deficit will certainly be
made up by the citizens whenever called
for, us these young gentlemen have
shown Il zeal, energy and sclf-dcnial
which must command support.
Those intending to become regular
members Of the Company are required
to obtain their uniforms by Saturday
next.

Mail Failures.

The river mail recently established
between Monroe and New Orleans has
so far proven Il failure. Postal c"mmu-
nication with the lower Ouachita and
Rack river sections was, until the cs-
adjustment of the river line kept up
very promptly by a horse mail. This
has been discontinued, and the result
is, the river line not being attended to,
the people living south of this, as
far as Trinity, are complaining l"udly
of the non-dclivcry of their mail matter.

EARLY BREAkFAsT.

A bad custom il prevalent in man J
families, especially among farmers, ci
working an hour or two before breakfast
hocing in the garden, cutting wood
moving, etc. This is convenient on
many accounts, but il is not conducive u
health. The prevalent opinion is thai
the morning air is the purest and most
hcalthful aud bracing, but the contrary
is the fact At no hour OF the day is the
air more filed with damppess, foss and
mias,nas than about sunrise. The heat
Of the sun gradually dissipa,es the mias
matte influences as the day advances
An early meal braces up the system
asninst these external influences. Ev.
cry one knows the languor and faintness
often experienced for the first hours 10
the morning, and this is increased by ex.
ercise aud want Of food. We do moi
agree with the boarding school regime
which prcscribes long walk before
breakfast as a means Of promoting health
Probably the best custom would be to
furnish every member Of the family, es
pecially those who labor out of doors
with single cup of warm coffee, vel
milkcd. Immediately after rising from the
bed. Then let them attend to moving
hoeing, &C., for an hour or two, while
the teams are feeding. and the breakfast
preparing. They will feel better and dc
