Mineral Springs in st. Landry.

The Opelousas Journal says:
Owing to the warm weather, dull sea-
son for business and nothing to do, there
has been quite an exodus this summer
among our town population. Some. who
have the time and means. have gone North,
to Virginia, Tennessee, and other places,
while a large number, individuals and fam
lilies, old and young, male and female, are
continually going and returning from the
many mineral and other springs scattered
along the western border of this parish,
ranging from thirty to forty miles from
Opelousas. All these springs, four or five
in number, are widely separated, and stu
ated in localities, on or near streams and in
the wild forest beyond the settled parts of
the parish, favorable for fishing, hunting
and bathing. 1t requires but little money
to visit them; and if health is the
object, the visitors there will return from
these rude watering places better restored
in health and with less depleted purses
than those from the excitement and dissipa-
ton of the fashionable watering places at
the North.

The Opelousas Journal of Saturday says
of the weather and crops:

The Opelousas Journal of Saturday says
of the weather and crops:
The weather is now very hot and dry, and
is becoming quite dusty. The corn crop,
though injured by the unfavorable weather
through which it has passed, is better than
was expected Immediately after the storm,
and will yield, owing to the increased acre
age probably as much if not more than last
year.
The cotton crop will most probably not
be so much as last year, because less has
been planted this year, and it has been re-
tarded in its growth by too much rain. 1t
is doing very well now, except where it has
not been cleared of the grass. On account
of the advance in the price the prospects
are that the growing crop will be as valu-
able, if not more so, than that of last year.
Cane has been doing well all the time,
but needs rain just now.
Since writing the above, we have had
shower of rain, accompanied with consider
able wind and some hail.

A RECEIPT.-That old question as to
whether a receipt for money is property or
not has dubbed up to the surface once
more, and much will be spouted on both
sides of the question. Rose Waters, No
I04 Tchoupitoulas street, takes the trouble
to swear that Michael Kinzinger stole
twenty-dollar receipt from her. According
to State law the offense is larceny or
something like it; therefore Mikes chances
are fair to have q taste of justice.

SINKING OF TIE LEvEE.-Further oo-
servation of the land slide in front OF the

il serious undermining of the levee from
about midway between st. Ann street TO
within thirty yards of Ursulines street
In some places the earth has opened LII
broad assures and sunk down as much as
three or four feet. A portion OF the track
of the Chattanooga railroad, near the head
of St. Philip street, has sunk over one foot'
and Iaborers are engaged in filling up the
sunl,en space with sand and relaying the
track 1t is evident that the river oank Is
undermined to a considerable extent as
sbown by the broad chasms IN the eafth
from the railroad track to the river. I'M
mediately on the river bank huge blocks OF
earth are constantly tumbling H. ana the
twisting of the wharves shows tnat lne
niIino on which they are supported is Deing
undermined. For space OF hundred anu
fifty yards in length and forty or nl!y IN
width there is danger that the ri'ei may
make still further encroachments.
