STATE NEWS BY PARISHES.
RIt'ILASD,

RICHLASD.
The Beacon has the following good
words for Rayville:
Parties passing through and visiting
Rayville do SO under the impression
that they are passing or visiting a per-
feet den of dcspcradoes and cut-throats.
y more erroneous impression could not
exist, for a more peaccable and law
abiding community can scarcely be
found, than the one around RayVillc;
and we are gratified to know that those
who stop here long enough go away
under that impression.
BlENvILLE.
The Times makes a good point for
Sparta in this extract
We unhesitatingly pit the town of
Sparta against any parish seat in the
State on the score of sobricty, peace and
good morals. 1t was noticeable that
during the recent session Of the District
Court not quarrel, or a fight, nor SO
much as a drunken man, disturbed the
good order and decorum of the town.
If there has been serious ARRAY in the
place within twelve months we are not
aware of it.
MOREHOUSE.
The Conservative has the following ::
Public schools are to be established in
every Ward in the parish in short
time.
We are sorry to hear of great deal
of stock, mules principally, dying. 1t
seems to be strange kind of sickness.
No one knows anything about it, or
how to remedy it. Capt. Geo. Sandidge,
we learn, has lost six mules, Mr.. John
Brodnax three or four. Several others
have lost one or two.
MADISON.
The loyal editor of the Journal ridi-
culeth a certain lcvec on the Missis-
sippi, built by JcTThompson, in terms
as follows:
The General built that levec under
tho direction of the Board of Public
Works he had better come up and
have it cut under his own direction.
Since writing the above, we have
been told that the levee has broken, so
the General need not come up to cut it
but it would be well enough for him to
come up and take look at tho Biggs
levee, the work on which the Board OF
Public Works ordered stopped within
| a few yards of its completion. 1t is, at
the present writing, in a very interest
ing condition, with a rising river in
front of it-just .'ettC1.y to. ftt11 to 31ieces.
