LYNCH LAVA GANG OF DEspERADoEs
BROKEN UP-FIvE OF THE GANG SHOT
DRAD.-A correspondent informs the
New Orleans Times that on Sunday, Oath
inst, the citizens Of New Antlnuta, in
Winn Parish, arrested and shot John II.
West, David Frame, Grow Thompson, n
man by the name of Collins, aud one
named Ingram. The well-knowu Law
son kimbrel, (brother to VIM. Kimbrel,
killed by Gen. MoGlathan,) was shot
down for dead, but the ball only scalped
him, and he made his escape. The
cause of the difficulty is stated rs fol-
lows: It appears, that some time before
Gen. McGlanthan killed William Kim
brel, man named David Deem Joined
this gang Of desperadoes. Subsequently,
however, he qnit them, and gave in
formation which incensed them against
him so highly that he was forced to leave
the parish III order to save his life. He
took refuge in Mississippi, where he re-
mained some time On his return to the
parish, lie brought his fnthcr and mother
with him; but he had not been at home
long before the fact became known to
his enemies, who Immediately made q
coffin, hunted him up. and arrested him,
leaving three of their number to guard
him. The citizens, hearing of his peril,
ut once banded themselves together. re-
leased Deem, and succeeded in capturing
the whole gang, who, by their threats,
SO excited the crowd, tiiut they shot them
down as stated above. These men are
represented to be of the most desperate
character, hnd been engaged in nefari-
Gus trade, and had been frequently ar
rested and indicted by the grand jury of
the parish.

KEEPING A THOUSAND HENS.

With flock Of 900 fowls, at least six
requisite Some have given this rule. acre to each
hundred This area should be- fenced in with boards
or pickets and houses erected, large enough to ac
comInodate 100 fowls for roosting, shelter from
storms, and laying. Ii is not essential that these
houses should be expensive, but they should face the
South and the fronts should be partially or entirely
glazed The glazing should be by sashes. when may
be opened easily by hinges above and NAV De LETT
open through the Summer to permit a free crcula-
ton Of air The care Of these houses should be IN
trusted To capable person. as on their proper man
agcment the success Of the poultry largely depends
In addition to the pOdltry house there should be
provided numbers of low sheds, beneath which the
fowls may take shelter from the heat of the sun or
from storms.
Care should be taken to prevent the ingress of
vermin. skunks, weasels, &c, 10 the grounds and
one OF more good dogs should be confined within the
inclosure care being taken to secure dogs which
will not trouble the fowls, but which are good
watch dogs, and vigilant. An abundance OF pure
water il also absolutely necessary and unless brook
runs through OF pond is located on the land. water
should be brought by ram pumped by wind
mill from wen. Fowls drink a great quantity Of
water and it should be of pure quality as can be
obtained. The preparation of the grounds, and
building Of the houses and sheds having been COM
pleted the stock may be procured. 80,
For all practical purposes the common dunghll
fowl IL a. good any. have proved completely
to our satisfaction. In selecting stock, take hens
from one to two years old bright-eyed, redcOmbed,
clean legged fowls az large and well formed as can
be obtained There is no need of grower with the
large hocks the breeders being selected and kept
separate from the others for laying purposes, hens
do better away from cock than with one and if q
number of male birds are together, the tights and
troubles will be ncessant. The care of the poultry
is not great after they are placed in the park The
fowls selected for breeding purposes should be kept
in ocks Of 30 in yards separate from the Others and
each of these small focks should have male bird.
These birds should be the very best TO be obtained
strong. well formed aud hardy and the cock should
| be two years old healthy, strong, aud courageous.
| We believe that Brahma cock, such as we have
described crossed with the dunghil fowls, would get
better and more marketable chickens than would
any other breed. This, however Is for the poulterer

Ex-Unlted States District Attorney Purvl-
nee Stabbed by C. Canning Smith.

i personal r~enconter took place yestef-
d Y morning between @. Canning Smith,
Esq, and ex-United States District Attor-
ney Purviance, which resulted in the
latter being severely but not dangerously
stabbed in the abdomen. The difficulty
grew out Of a card or a communication
Published by Mr.. Purviancs In the AP-
PEAL a few days ago. We are informed
that the parties met yesterday morning,
and after some words P~urviance struck
Smith with a cane, when the latter used a
small pocket knife to defend himselfI
DR.. Lynch was called in and dressed
Mr.. Purvianee's wound, and the patient
was doing well at the last accounts.
The following was handed us as the
statement of Nj. Purviance: 81 had
called by agreement TO get from Smiths
books SOM data necessary to enable me
to obtain fees due me by the Government
for services rendered as United States
District Attorney, but Smith refused to
let me have the same, whereupOn some
words passed between as, in which i
called Smith a rascal. Smith struck me
in the face with his hand, and l responded
by striking Smith with a light rattan
cane which / had in my hand Smith
then threw his arm around me and drew
a dirk and stabbed me twice in the hip
the first being near the top Of the pelvis,
but fortunately passing in rear of the
bone, in1icting a sever flesh wound. i
Immediately threw Smith on the floor,
and being myself unarmed and unable to
hold the murderons hand of my antagO-

We never pick up a New York paper
without finding in it large and well dis
played advertisements of auction sales OF
regularly imported goods. These cata-
logue sales are attended by Western mer-
chants, and very many of best stocks
are made up of fabrics purchased at trade
ssles. Not only foreign but domestic
goods are sold in this way, and the prices
obtained are generally favorable to both
buyer and seller. We are glad TO learn
that Messrs. Ezekiel Il Co, the well
known a~uetioneers of this city, are about
to insugurate a similar trade here, having
made arrangements with some of the
largest importers in the East, including
Hennequin Il Co, fischer & Co., Duden,
Freres & Co, and others, and they will
to-day hold their FIRST sale, offering to our
dealers Paris shawls, French ~jacOnets, or
CANDIES. percales, bingham lawns, boule-
ward skirts, mating, etc, etc. We hope
this sale will be we'll attended, aud that
the enterprise Of Messrs. Ezskiel q Co.
may receive the support 1t deserves.
These catalogue sales will hereafter be a
feature in the business of our city, and
we look forward to the time whsn cargoes
will be shipped here direct from Europe,
and sold to the merchants of our city and
surrounding country, without having to
pass through the hands of middle men in
more Eastern cities.
