THE SUGAR CROP.-Tbe best yield
of sugar we have yet heard Of in this
parish was from cane raised upon the
plantation Of DR.. w. Fl. Ballard, in
the first ward, six acres Of which pro-
duced eighteen hogsheads Of sugar.
This was exceptionally fine plant cane,
however. DR.. Billiards. yield will
average about hogshead and q half
to the acre, which is good for the
season. We have also heard Of seven
acres of cane upon Mr.. j. j. LeBlanc's
place yielding twenty hogsheads, but
many places are not averaging more
than half or three-fourths of Il hogs
head to the acre. The magnificent
Bringier, Or Hermitage place, nearly
opposite Donaldsonville, which pre-
vious to the war produced twelve hun
dred hogsheads Of sugar each year,
will produce scarce four hundred this
season. From our present limited in
formation it is impossible for us to
make any reliable comparison Of the
yield Of this year and last, though there
is no doubt that Of this year will be
considerably the smaller of the two.
So far as we have learned, the cane has
been but slightly injured by frost.

We are reliably informed that the
horses and mules upon the Nelson
plantation, on Bayou Lafourche oppo-
site Thibodaux, have been taken with
the epizootic. In view of the near
approach of the disease to our town
and parish, planters and others having
daily use for their stock had best make
speedy arrangements to meet the very
probable contingency Of having them
all disabled by the epizootic that is
sweeping over the country and attack
ing orr four footed friends, the horses
and mules.

The merchants and business men
Of Mississippi street were thrown into
q state of excitement the other day
by preparations for the removal Of
the post-ofice. It appears that the
postmaster had applied to his landlord
for permission to put up stove in
the apartment used for the post office,
but was refused. AS the cold weather
made it very uncomfortable for. the
official aforesaid to distribute the daily
mail in a room barren of fireplace or
stove, he decided to remove his head
quarters, and accepted an offer of
ofice-room, free of rental, from Mr.
Wilkinson of the news depot on Caba-
hauosse street. But when the bust
ness men Of the front street found that
they were about to have such a neces-
sary institution as the post-office re-
moved to locality which, though
near the center Of town, would be in
convenient to them, they magnani
mously offered, if the Office was allowed
to remain in its present location, to
put up stove and pay the rent, which
proposition the postmaster accepted.
Tranquility was restored on Missis-
sippi street. rss=a.s
