ever, the Gazette is misinlorm
ed, as Mr.. Wilber was in Nc
Arthur, on Tuesday evening,
with no indications of potato
bug poison:
"The first authentic case of
potato bug poisoning in this
vicinity, is that of Mr.. Abram
WILDER, of Hamden, Vinton
county, we'll known through
his eCcentricitles to all the cit.
izens within a radius of fifty
miles from his residence. Mr..
WILDER attempted to demolish
the bugs by smashing them be-
tween the palms of his hands.
Shortly afterwards his body be.
came so swollen and distorted
that his most intimate friends
would not have recognized him.
At latest advices it was not
supposed that he would live" "

large that the machine had to
be lifted over them, yet the
Champion surmounted all diff

A DONATION PARTY.

Somewhere in Pennsylvania there
is a Presbyterian clergyman whose
nominal salary is four hundred and
fifty dollars year.
But as it was six months in ar
rears, the congregation determined
to give him a donation party, to
help him along.
1t came off--the donation party
did.
The entire flock was on hand, but
the presents, that were only six roll
ing pins, a pen-wiper, and quarter
of a peck of dried apples, crop of
1864.
The minister of course, had to fur
nish refreshments and the COM
pany not only discussed four hams,
three and half pounds Of sixty cent
butter, and thirteen loaves of bread,
but they ate up two pounds of su-
gar and all the next winters pre-
serves.
To crown all, four spoons were
missing.
The clergyman says he wants to
have just one more donation party,
and then he will close up his bust
ness and begin life over again as
champion pauper at the alms-house.
He is particularly down on one
sister who jammed saherself full of
ham and preserves, and enough
other succuient diet to keep the en-
tire family for week, and then laid
up against the wall pretending to
feel religious, and singing, "There
is rest for the weary"
He is willing.tolaecept' bets that
she will never weary while there is
any grub about-this sister won't.

WHITE LABOR ON SUGAR PLAN
TATIoNs-WHAT MAY BE DONE.

TATIONS- WHAT MAY BE DONE.
Col. bennett, editor of the Plan
ters' Banner, writes The following
letter to the Picayune, dated De-
cember Is, 1870:
Most of the sugar planters are out
of money and much disheartoned.-
They cannot pay their debts through
negro labor. The large planters,
most of them get greater in debt
every year.
There are humorous white fami-
lies all over Louisiana, who are will
ing to work but they find it difficult
to buy land, fence it, buy mules Jand
plows and carts and 10 get good
start at farming.
There are doubtless five hundred
sugar plantations in this State on all
of which mules, plows, farming
utensils, buildings, etc, may be
found in complete order for the use
of laborers; and the black laborers
who have heretofore cultivated these
lands have lost the confidence of the
planters. They are looked upon as
half-played out.
Tho planter would do well to take
good and industrious white families
on their places, and furnish them
with provisions the first year; also
mules, plows, carts, ETC., and give
them all the corn they raise, and
one-third of the sugar crop.
As soon as these families can pay
for the mules, plows, tools, etc, they
could take upon themselves the en-
tire labor and expense of planting,
cultivating and making up the crop,
giving the planter one-third of the
sugar for the use of the land, fences,
buildings, etc.
This third of the sugar and molas-
SEES would be larger profit than the
best large planter in the State has
made in the last five years.
With such arrangements the eX-
pensos of the planter would be small
and his risks small.
There are enough white families
in Southwest Louisiana and New
Orleans who would be glad to ill
such situations to run half the large
sugar plantations in this State and
by giving them a good opportunity
to make good living, and to lay up
something for foul day, the SER
vices of thousand of these families
could be secured.
