rY1 Among the numerous appointments re-
Gently made by Gov Warmoth, we note the
following for this Parish:
Commissioners to remove the distractions III
Bavou Couriablcau.--Wm. Ofntt, Ebert CAN'T,
j. L. Morris.
Members of the Police Jury.-J. l.. Norris
John Roy, T. c. Chach.re, I. S. Fontenot.
Tho above ,nenlbcxs had ALREADY been appoint
ed to the Police Jury by the Governor.
These appointments were mad" hy virtue Of
law recurring one half the Police Jury to be
renewed every year.
Justices of the Peaee.--.Iacques Arnaud, Jr,
81 Ward James Meyers, 18th Ward.
Constable-Jacob Wiuterly, 18th Ward.
Town Ctunc;l. Grand Coteau-S, j. Barry,
+. NJ Mllard f. Petetin, Fl. A Castillo H. S.
Dunbar.
All the above named gentlcuien were reeensly
elected by the people to constitute the Town
Council of Grand Coteau.
sR The case Of the State vs. Henry johnson,
freedman, accused of t:>e murder of - Bass,
~ wear or more :.sa, came up for trial on Nc IL
day last before the District Court, now i'll ses-
sion in our town.
The accused having no attorney, the Court
appointed as Ills co,lus, Mr. Laurent Dupre,
who was only few months ago admitted to the
bar aud who is scarcely II years Of age
A fire opportunity WAS now before him t"
make his debut.
We should state here that the case Vas SO
bad the evidence against the accused S":troig
and conclusive, that he was found guilty, with
out capital puni>hmcnt-which verdict IL tan
taniount to a sentence of imprisonment at hard
labor for life.
Our young attorney, however, feeling the
dificnlt position in which he was placed by
both the court and his duty, enerseticaIly and
con nscieutously took up the defence. IN tue
hearing of the evidence he manifested consid'
erable coolncss acutencss and talent, qualities
not very common with young lawyers. when
the evidence was closed, and the District Al
torncy, after having read the bill of Indictment
began his argument, presenting the case WIN
that lucilty which the evidence and his knoWi
edge of the law placed within his reach. 1t was
easy to toresee the issue, viz: the conviction o.
the accused.
But our young friend seemed I" take no note
of this He knew that talent and eloquenct
had sometimes triumrhed over right, and hii
only resource lay there. And taking up tho
defence with feryency and energetically reshe
ting the attack, he laid the foundations OF
discourse which attracted the attention OF ou'
best lawyers-let us say, rather. the applause
and admiration of all. His eloquence at times
eaualled that Of the most eloquent practitioners
and his logic was remarkable. His discourse
was we'll pat together and well sustained
throughout.
Such was the dfdut of Mr.. Laurent Dupre, q
debut which will no doubt place within his easy
reach the Lonors of the Bar, which his lalnented
father had 80 rapidly attained.

A young lady, named Miss Hol-
man met with a terrible death at
Howard Center, Iowa, on Saturday
last. She started on horseback for
basket pic mic. The horse jumped :,
threw her off, one foot being fastened
in the stirrup +; he ran down lane,
alongside of stake aud ridered
fence, against which she was flung
at every jump with terrible force.
When found her skull was literally
mashed, her body nude, torn, filed
with slivers, and unreeognizable,
save by clothing along the fence
and the shoe in the stirrup.
