Our readers will doubtless be pleased
to learn that the hitherto much neglected
POst0ttice at Big Cane, has at last been
put in working order, and thatour young
and energetic parishoner, Mr.. Ii. W.
Decuir is now placed in charge as Post
Master.
This is a step in the right direction.
Big Cane is an important point, from its
proximity to the tWuparishes of st. Ian
dry and Avoyclles. 1t is ~numerOusly
settled with an enterprising population,
and the serious inconvenience Of having
no reliable means of communication has
long been felt by the people there resi-
ding. We are glad totindthat the Postal
authorities are at last awakening to our
needs, and we can assure them that this
lisa step in the right direction both in
the re-establishment of the office and in
their selection of the officer in charge
thereof.-[Marksyille Register, Aug. 81.
