Hence to the mouth of Red river,
down the Atehafalaya, an inlet, Yer.

the owner of the boat to establish
direct communication between this
4pOintand ST. Louis, eitherby through
boats or transhipment at Underwater.
The St. Louis merchants have a
line biz steamers running up Red Riv-
er to Shreveport, and also, we be-
lieye, up the Black and Ouac1ita
rivers to Monroe. 1t will be seen
from the above that they now have a
line to Galveston. There will be a
boat connected with this line, we
are informed, running up the Teche
to New Iberia and st. Martinsrille.
Al gentleman engaged ID the steam
boat business, says we may expect
next winter q boat connected with
this same line, running up the Bay

PROPHECY FULFILLED.-On

PROPHECY FULFILLED.-On a
certain plantation in this parish,
there was a religious meeting one
night about a week ago. 1t appears
that while there was a large num-
Der Of persons on that place, of
residents and visitors, the meeting
strictly speaking was not as well at
tended as the preacher desired. He
therefore lectured his absent hearers
by telling them that instead of being
there listening to the blessed Gospel,
they were probably prowling around
somebody's chicken roost and hog
pen, or doing other sinful things.
No sooner than he said iJfthan bang
went a pistol at a short distance off.
One, who should have been in the
congregation, had stolen a hog and
was making off with it in a sack,
when he vas shot at blythe watchful
owner. He dropped the hog and
skedaddled. No one was hurt, we
believe but the reverend orator re-
.joiced in the fact that the prophecy
he preached was fulfilled on the
spot. .A To
