Several times within the past few months
an insane woman, Honora Mccormack, has
rudely insulted and assaulted the Sisters of
Mercy, who attend service in st. Theresa s
church, Camp street. Not long ago she was
arrested for one of her outrageous attacks,
and taken before Recorder Houghton, when
that official sent for DIR. Cooper to make an
examination. The Doctor pronounced her
insane, and Recorder Houghton sent her to
the asylum. Somehow, by means at present
unknown to the Recorder, she was released
three days after her commitment. She then
repeated her insults to the Sisters, and yes
terday was re-arrested on the old complaint.
Recorder Houghton unhesitatinglv sent her
to the Parish Prison, where she will proba-
bly, remain for at least thirty days. This is
the real state of the affair

be It

| THEATRE IN THE FOURTH DIsTRICT-
The following item was published in the
Times, and it is presumed to be correct.
The ground in question has history, and
was at one time an object of interest. On
| it stood the Smelser mansion, noted for a
poisoning case about the year 1856. The
location is an excellent one for theatre,
and pleases the residents of that neighbor-
hood:
Several energetic members of the Orleans
Dramatic Relief Association have formed
stock company and purchased piece of
ground on Josephine, between Magazine
and Camp streets, for the purpose OF erect
ing thereon a theatre. The lot is very
spacious, having a front of one hundred
feet, with a depth of one hundred and
ninety-one feet 1t is proposed to commence
the work Immediately, so that it may be
finished by the first of January, 1872. The
building will be of brick, and constructed
somewhat similar to the old Varieties
theatre, with the exception that the ground
will be occupied as first class restaurant
During the winter months it will be leased
for regular dramatic performances, and
during the summer will be devoted to the
entertainments to be given by the associa-
ton, as well as to fairs, festivals, etc. The
total cost will be over 100000, and it WILL
beyond question, be 1attering ornament
and convenience to the Fourth District.
Situated as it will be in the heart of one of
the largest and most thriving quarters of
New Orleans, there can hardly be gues-
ton regarding success, as it will supply
great want which for years our uptown
residents have felt. The young men who
have so boldly taken hold of this work de-
serve great credit for their enterprising
spirit and ought to be amply rewarded for
their efforts.

When we reflect what large number OF
persons there are who can, not value small
to accumulate wealth by slow degrees and
strict course of economy, we are sur
prised that more do not try their luck in
the Louisiana State Lottery, instead of
squandering their little money and much of
their time in ways that are not at all bene-
fetal. The next single number drawing of
this lottery takes place on the twenty-ninth
instant, when over four hundred prizes will
be drawn, amounting in the aggregate to
over S2S0.9O0.. The highest of these prizes
is $4,000, and the lowest 5000. Four hun
dred prizes and over leaves chance for over
four hundred persons if they buy tickets.

The opelousas Courier says of the crops

!. The Opelousas Courier says of the crops
Since the occurrence of the storm, some
six weeks ago, which has done injury to
our parish so many contradictory reports
have reached our ears that it would be
hard to discover the true state of affairs
Yet, from what we can gather from com
petent sources we feel confident that things
generally are not half so bad as were pic
tured.
No one at this time can assert positively
what sort of crop we will have, there
being so many things to encounter, rain
storms and last, though not least, the terri
bic army worm.
Every one of our planters seems equal to
the emergency, the streets of our town
being partly deserted, and in the fields all
can be seen with the pillow and hoe, clean
ing and clearing. Our merchants are not
behind, granting liberal advances, etc.
The ruling figures of the staple in our
principle mart should be an encouragement
for all to work hard, and who knows that
though he may have short crop, the plan
ter will be better remunerated than he was
last year with double the quantity.

UNrNHABTTED.-Many months ago gen.
tleman living in the Fourth District asked
his landlord to abate small sum ON the
rent, as times were dull and profits small
The landlord declined; the tenant sought
and found cheaper tenement The dwell
ing remained empty five or six months,
when the owner concluded to drop from
seventy-five dollars per month to fifty: still
no one takes the place. Thus the proprie-
tor, unwilling to accept reasonable sum
from good tenant, has not received dol
lar on his investment for nearly a year,
while the premises have ever since been
falling into decay. hard-hearted lady
was heard to smilingly remark: "Serves

In THE OLD THIRD.-A very enthusiastic
meeting of the Third Ward club took place
on Saturday evening, Lieutenant Governor
Dunn, president in the chair. Our re-
porter, not having been notified of the in
tention to hold meeting, was not present,
but general report informs US that Senator
Pinchback made the notable speech of the
evening, and swept away by his persuasive
eloquence and fearless statement of facts
many webs of prejudice which artful poll
ticians had woven in the minds of the peo-
pie.
Captain Barrett, one of our informants,
states that hearty cheers were given for
Governor Warmoth, as well as Senator
Pinchback.
1t is probable that our Republican ward
clubs will soon have the pleasure of greet
ing Governor Warmoth in person at some
of their meetings.

We learn that the Mississippi is falling
rapidly. The Atchafalaya and Courtableau
are showing perceptible signs of this fall,
and we are in consequence threatened with
soon experiencing the inconvenience of the
low water season. In view of this fact,
would it not be prudent for our merchants
and citizens generally to not delay in get
ting from New Orleans the necessities re-
quired from this time till December, par
ticularly in the matter of provisions; be
sides yellow fever may break out in New
Orleans at any moment and it would then
be impossible to obtain many articles of
prime necessity during the summer months.

During the past week we have had seve-

planters are still complaining of too much
rain, some of the sugar planters are COM
plaing of the drouth as the ground is too
hard to pillow so as to lay by the cane pro-
perly. On the whole, however, we may say
that we have had fine growing weather
since our last issue-a warm sun and occa-
sional showers-and in consequence the
crops are improving rapidly and are now
nearly all of them entirely out of the grass

to equal or come near that of last year; but
