pound, black hair and whiskers tinged with
gray. He WAS dressed in dark brown panta-

the Lac L. Belle. The description given Of him
was as follows His height was about five feet
two lnches. He had broad, heavy silver ring
On the little finger of the right hand, with ini-
tlals marked on it, but too much worn to enable
one to tell what theF were. There was found in
The side pocket of his coat two letters dated,
u Milwaukee, October19, 1872" One was
letter Of recommendation as a hrst-class cook
from 81. Hafemaster, to T. Kaeifer, stating his
name to be Henry Sparks. The other letter was
from person signing her, name as Emma

On the same day an inquest was held by

whose body came lahore near Pentwater. Money
Lmount1ng to SAT and gold watch we're found
1pon the body. By his memorandum book his

tenth of April, 1872, he delivered to plain
titfs three horses, buggy, a trunk of cloth
ing and $500 in money, which property has
been lost, and he demands judgment for
the above sum.
The plaintiff also files another suit against
the same pal ties claiming $4,000 damages
on account OF injuries received by him by
the explosion of the Oceanus on the elev-
enth oI April, 1872. Ho was scalded and
bruised aud was insensible and fell into

Reduction of RafIrond Fnres.

The public are gratifed to learn that the
recent liberal reduction of railroad fares on
the Jackson and Mobile railroads was the
result of conference between Colonel
Carey, general ticket agent of the former
road. and Mr. Fitch, the general passen ger
agent of the Mobile road. Announcement
was made of the reduction of fares on the
latter road before the Jackson road an
nouuced that glad intelligence.
Since the management of each road
evinces a determination to carry passen-
gers as low as the other, we unite with the
public in the hope that reduced rates will
be occasionally adopted to such an extent
as passenger travel will justify. What
New Orleans has wanted for many years
was competing railroads and cheap fares.
We have them now, and can not refrain
from expressing confidence in the energetic
and liberal management of both.

CHANGE OF FIRN.-It will be seen upon
reference to notice published in another

& Co. has been dissolved by. Mr.. 1. n.
Marks retiring theretrom, and that new
firm has been formed under the style of D.
Fa6o & Co., who will continue to conduct
the wholesale grocery, importing and gen
eral commission business, as heretofore, at
No. 50 TchoupitOulas street. We bespeak
for the new firm a full inheritance of all
that remunerative business and public con-
fdence which was enjoyed by the old, and
which they 80 justly deserved.

Death Of MIS-. Conway.

Our well known Superintendent of Public
Education is in sore afflictiOn. He left New
Orleans few weeks ago, by order of his
physician, in the hope of recuperating from
the effects Of long and severe illness, ac-
colrpanied by his wife, then in excellent
health. Now the telegraph announces that
this charming, refined and lovable lady has
been consigned to the tomb. Mrs. Conway
had many warm friends in. this city who
will mourn her sudden and untimely taking
off, and their sympathy will extend to her
children, who have been deprived of care
full, judicious and loving guardian and in
structOr. Mr., Conway is greatly cast down
by this new aflictiOn, but his general health
Is better than when last here.
