This novel reason for the removal of
Casey is stated by the Washington Patriot:
President Grant has removed Collector
Casey, of New Orleans, and the deputy col
lector, Mr.. Herwig, has also been dismissed.
In administration circles this is said to be
one of the results of the recent investiga-
ton into affairs at New Orleans, as the COM
mittee has reported such facts that the
President could no longer delay action. The
truth of the matter seems to be, however,
that the President is anxious to cenciliate

The Hampstead, Texas, Messenger says !:
From the best information which we can
obtain from our farmers around here, crop
prospects were never better at this season
of the year. Those who have long been
citizens of Texas hardly can realize how
fortunate they are in soil and seasons. Our
exchanges from east of the Mississippi are
loud in their complaints of late, wet, cold
spring. Here our farmers will have finished
their crops before those east of the Father
of Waters will have gone over theirs the sec
Ond time.

RUNNING OFF A misunderstanding a
red-hOt stove is supposed to be delicate
undertaking, attended with peculiar dan
ger, and requires great nerve. Stealing a
steamboat must be somewhat like it. For
several days past the tug Novelty has been
tied up near the head of Napoleon avenue,
and was advertised to be sold tomorrow.
Early yesterday morning, interested par
ties about TO make an inspection of the
craft, found no hole in the water where she
had been tied up, and there was consterna-
ton in the camp. Detective Dumas and
Sergeant Carleton were told to find the
vessel, and they quickly followed in the
wake. Dumas is fond of fishing, and so he
filed his vest pocket with lines and hooks
and started down the Company canal. Be-
fore he had time to drop line he discov-
cred the Novelty about a mile from the
river, in the canal, disabled by broken
shaft. She was brought back and landed
in Algiers, where her owner, Mr.. E. Benja-
min, can find her. 1t is asserted that W.
Evans knows the full history.
