The little steamer gllded through 'n'

ora little ripple of water called d .canai'

before and naturally shivered at the dread
fuI prospect. One of the party knew that
+be boat could make the trip, tor the canal
had recently been dredged to depth OF
fifteen feet. The propeller ran along tol
erably well for quarter OF mile, and
then .he was stuck in the sticky mud. All
hands on shore to cordelle, and the little
craft was lifted over oar anu lho70 0o7's
were repeated for four weary miles.
Arriving at the locality, the Adventures
boldly waded into dismal swamp-mire VI
to their knees. Each man was placed al
standing in very soft spots. Inc Eouno'
were set free, going somewhere peSono

PRESENTATION BY FIREMEN-The nam
of. N. Marks is a rallying sound to ever
fire company in New Orleans, and has bee
for many year. This name has stood a
president Of the Firemen's Charitable Asso
citation wear after year, and no Opposition
has been opposed to it. 1t is purely pos
ton of honor, and the gentleman has hor
ored it, invariably declining emoiuments
He has never shirked responsible duties O
failed to assist the department when in III
power. These facts are well known, and t
in part render an acknowledgment, ever
fire company in this organization recentl
contributed money to purchase an orns
mental silver tea set for Mr.. Marks. LII
pieces were manufactured in New York o.
the best artists, and will be presented in
few DAVIS with some formalities
RtsKtSG LIFE FOR TWENTY CENTs.-bf
tween four and five o'clock yesterday morl
inc. the residence of Mr.. Tierney, No. "a
Rampart street, was entered by two bul
glars, through the front door They wer
SO clumsy in their operations that one q
the inmates was awakened. Mr.. 1lefne
politeIy introduced himself to the burglar
tbrougb the medium of a revolver, whe
the rascals declined further acquaintance
but returned the shots right merrily. oh
Ger Blair took hand in the affair as soon a
notified. but happened to cross the path Q
a nving bullet the missile wounding HI
arm. 1t is not known whether the burglar
were hurt tor they escaped, the extent o
their booty being twenty cents, currency
Strange that men will risk liberty and LII
for SO small sum. If other citizens VII
follow Mr.. Tierneys example, the race o
house breakers will soon become extinct.
