The grand parents Of the '.little

an extraordinary memory to "me-

number Of verses in SO short a Pc

some present from her teacher

Can any little Miss or pu-

rse On. MONDAY Iast oDr- ~

5% On Monday last our, lit
tie town was thrown into q con-
siderable state Of excitement, by
q tdnor that Mrs. Caroline A. Fos-
ter, consort of Mr., John p. Hud-
son, who had been laboring under
an alteration of mind for some
time past, had left home on Fri
day morning and went to Mr.. L.
G. Dec S residence, q short distance
from where she lived, and that
night, between the hours OF IL and
IL o'clock, she was missing. Dill
gent search, was made for her by
Mr., Dees and his neighbors that
night and the following day. with
out being able to find or hear any
tidings of her. A considerable
number of our citizens also contri-
buted their assistance in looking
for the unfortunate woman iihrme-
'diately on hearing the sad news
In about three hours after their
departure, they returned, and re.
Portedthatherbod had beenfound
in the North fork Of Contraband.
aOrDSand bayou, one of the tribu-
taries of the Calcasieu river, about
1.-TWO miles from this place. She
was attired in a black calico dress.
and had on shoes and stockings
when heleft Mr.. Deess place, .and
when the bodywas found hAd.noth-
. ing but under garments ON. The
supposition Is she pulled of her
dress, shoes and stockings for the
purpose Of fording the bayou with
the view Of going to Mr.. Locks
residences about 6 miles distant
from where she was drowned. The
stream the deceased attempted to
cross is about 20 feet, deep, and
rarely falls low enough to BE- for
dable. T,o.......
A Corners inquest was held over
the body and q verdict rendered
That she came to her death by be-
ing accidentally drowned. 9s 2a
Mr.. Hudson.is not III the parish.
He has been absent FOR some time,
butwhenh he hears Of the deathofhis

lAl ssLfa4inCk1O1y occurrence!
We copy as follows om the
Richland Beacon Of the s1a 81
The most heart-r6nding catas-
trophe it has ever been our mis-
fortune to chronicle, was that Of
the drowning 81 D. @, Halleck and
his young sisters, Rachel and
Mary, in Boeuf river, at staHordAs
Ferry, between this place and
Girard, on Tuesday last, the 9th
ult., under the following circum-
stances
He had been To Mount Leba-
non for his sisters who were stu
dents in the Baptist Female Insti-
tute there and Nas returning home
with them in carriage. Arriving
at the river and finding the boat
on chat west } side tits presumed
he led the mules down the bank,
which is very steep, his sisters
remaining in the carriage. The
boat not being securely fastened,
was pushed off from the shore ei-
Their by the mules stepping upon
it or the wheels strikingit, as Mrs.
Stafford who was in her house on
the east bank of the river, says
that when her attention was first
attracted TO the terrible scene by
the screams ofthe girls, he and the
mules appeared to be in the boat
and the carriage inthe water, and
the girls clinging to it. The mules
were soon drawn out into theriyer.
The noble and heroic brother
sprang to the assistance Of his sis
ters, and struggled hard to save
them : but, alas! all went down to-
gether and were drowned before
those whose attention was attract
ed to the scene could reach them.
A more striking instance ofself-
sacrificiny devotion wa naver vit.
nessd. This noble young man
was swallowed up in the river with
a sister on each arm, dying in the
effort to save the lives of those
loved ones. ,.A ..' --...' '- B @'s'.'
e. No boat were near at hand on
the eastern side, and Mr.. Smith
and two or three freedmen swan
over and tried to reach them BY
diving They went down so quick
it was impossible to reach them
before they sank. Major Stafford
brought the news to Rayville ::
hooks were prepared and a num-
Der Of US reached the spot, and
soon succeeded, by the united eff
forts Of an the anxious friends
there assembled, in fishing up the
bodies. They were near each
other, fifteen Or twenty feet from
shore, in about twelve leetofwater
and about fifty yards below the
landing. The mules and carriage
were found very near the landing
and only a few feet from shore,
but in very deep water. r

'he recent War between Get-
many and France arouse ca so much
rost "a the part 81 bur people,
that it was generally supposed at
the time, that the earliest and best
history Of that great struggle,
would be from the pen Of an Ame-
rican author. The National Pub
Fishing Co, Of st. Louis, Mo-, has
just issued q very complete and
valuable history, bearing the above
title. 1T is from the pen of Mr..
James ID. MtCabe, ,Jr., and is q
handsomely bound volume Of 800
octave pages, Illustrated with 100
maps, portraits, battle scenes,
views Of prominent localities, etc.
1t is written in bold, vigorous
style, and will, unquestiionably,
take rank as the standard history
Of the struggle BY an American
writer.
Mr.. McCabe, has evidently stud
led bis subject deeply, for he writes
as an historian, and not as a poll
tician, as one who places facts on
record for the verdict Of future a.
ges, and not one who seeks to win
the favor Of either the Germans or
the French Of to-day. The great
charm of the work is its imparti-
atty, its absolute fidelity to truth.
His book fasciuates while it in
structs, for it tells in graphic and
eloquent language, the most won
derful story Of modern times. He
traces the causes Of the war from
their origin down to the beginning
Of hostilities; sets forth the diplo-
matte history Of the prelude to the
war; with clearness; and states for
chilly, and in detail the causes of
the triumph Of Germany and the
and the failure of France. The
narrative Of the great battles which
opened the campaign, and hurled
the French back upon the interior
of their own country; the effect Of
these reverses upon the French
Nation; the frantic efforts to rescue
the beaten army, and the terrible
disaster Of Sedan; the capture OF
the Emperor Napoleon and an en-
tire army; the Revolution in Par
is; the rise and formation Of the
Republic; the fight Of the Empress
from Paris; the Siege and surren-
der of StrasbOurg and the frontier
fortresses Of France; the trium-
phal advance Of the German ar
mics to Paris; the Sieges Of Paris
in detail; a full diary Of events du-
ring the Siege; the campaigns on
the Loire and in other parts OF
the peacenegotiations; the
naval history Of the war; the histo-
~ of the formation OF the great
German Empire; the proclaiming /
of King William emperor, and the
realization Of German unity; the
'ivil war and second siege OF Par
s, with its terrible sect es Of blood
shed and vandalism all these and
other events Of the war are related /
With a graphlcness and brilliancy
which render this a work Of unu-
'ual value. The author goes deep
nto he philosophy ofthe war, and
mpresses his readers profoundly
