Mr.. E. LeBoeuf informs us that he
has lost five horses from the same dis
ease which killed the horses of Mr.. L.
Bourgeois a short time since. We
have been unable to learn the symp-

who could i'll afford the loss, and we
sympathize with him accordingly

Kenner, one of the leading planters pf
this parish, and others. We under
stand the object of this visit to be to
meet and confer with the Police jury,

We omitted last week to mention
the appointment by Governor War
moth of our genial friend, Mr.. Ch;ls.
n. Lewis, as Chief Constable of this
parish. Although there is at present
nothing for such an officer to do, still
it is wen enough to have the position
filed by such an excellent gentleman
as Mr.. Lewis, and taxpayers can have
no cause for complaint, as no salary
attaches to the Office excepting when
the Chief Constable is performing
active duty.

From what we have learned since
the fire which consumed DIR. Frank
Inns residence last week, we feel it
but a matter of justice to call atten-

our efficient Sheriff, in the way of
saving furniture and aiding in pre-
venting. the spread of the confagra-
ton. Mr.. Kline was one of the first
of our citizens to arrive at the scene
of action, and his zeal certainly
deserves some mention.
