While the general tenor of the article
which appeared in your issue of Sunday,
the ninth, under the heading of "The
Young Mems Christian Association is
very just and highly gratifying to the
workers in the present organization, yet
in the invidious comparison which is there
drawn between the present and the assOcia-
ton of ante bellum times great injustice is
done the latter
Numerically the present association, al
though not yet four months old, is the
superior of its predecessor, but in active
Christian and benevolent effort we do not
claim even equality, much less superiority,
as compared with that organization.
Many of the active members of the pres
emit were the Jealous spirits in the old asso-
citation and by their continued zeal and
increased wisdom in the direction of its
labors, the work of the present body is to
be energized. We hope that in the lapse OF
years we may be found to be the worthy
successors of the association organized in
1852. ROBERT GRIBBLE,
Recording Secretary,
And member of the old Association

1t is rather risky stealing chickens in
Madison parish, as the following from the
Madison Journal will show:
A man named Brown, hailing from New
Orleans, and pursuing the very respectable
calling OF chicken merchant, came to this
place a few days since in the pursuit of his
business. He succeeded in purchasing from
our colored people number of chickens,
and the night before his intended departure
remained at the house of uncle Henry
Chambers, with his chickens, a number of
which had been purchased from uncle
Henry. Soon after he left in the morning.
uncle Henry's wife missed some of her
chickens, and followed Mr.. Brown to the
wharfboat and there found two of her miss
ing pets in his coOps. Esquire Howard ar
rested and examined him, and sent him be-
fore Judge Crawford for trial, whose court
was in session. and Judge Crawford fin
ished the case in a very short time by SEN
fencing Brown to hard labor in the peniten-
tiary for the term of six months Six
months hard labor for two chickens is
rather heavy, but we are inclined to the
opinion that it is very just.

GorNG THOUGH THE SIxTH.-The gang
of thieves who began their operations of
entering houses in the night time and steal
ing all they could lay their hands on, have
now advanced, as predicted, to the Sixth
District. They began in the Third about
fortnight ago and went up the river, ''going
through the Second First and Fourth Dis

stances they escaped with no inconsiderable
amount of booty.

The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
has decided that where an amount of money
less than taxable sum is deposited In a
savings bank, the aggregate of the original
sum and the accrued interest becomes liza
BILE to taxation under section 100 of the act
of June 80, 1864, amended, when together
the original deposit is increased to the
amount liable under the provisions of law.
Therefore a savings bank should return a
deposit of over five hundred dollars where
the original deposit was less than that
amount, but where the interest on the de-
post allowed to remain and added to the
principal exceeded five hundred dollars.

The Bay ST. Louis Gazette thus mentions
the pelican oil business:
During the summer the making of pelican
oil. between here and the mouth of the Mis-
sissippi river, has been followed to a con-
siderable extent. On the day of the late
storm, June 4. a number of slOops and lug
gers were lying around the Freemason
Keys and the Samphire Islands, engaged
in this business, but the furioas sea broke
them all loose from their moorings and
scattered them along the coast, all the way
from Breton Island to Barataria. Luckily
no loss of life occurred. Pelican oil sells in
New Orleans for about one dollar and fifty
cents per gallon. There is no lack of birds
to make the oil from, and the business is
quite profitable, although unpleasantly
