Mineral Springs.

Mineral water may be divided into fonr
classes: /. Gazeous or acidulous; 2. Chaly-
beate; 3. Saline; 4. Sulphureous. These may
be thermal or cold natural or artificial; many
of these divisions however run into each other;
some of the substances which they hold dis
solved, belong to one class as well as another
their properties are of course modified by
the saline matter that may be also contained
in them. The most celebrated among the acid
ulous waters are: Mont dor, France; Carls-
bad, Bohemia SeltZer, Saratoga, and the
Sweet Springs of Virginia. Chaly ybeate waters
are used as tonics in debility of all kinds, in
all cases where iron is considered to be indi-
Gated The most celebrated of chalybeates are
those of Turn Bridge, Scarborough, Spa Bus
sang, Provins. The saline mineral waters are
usually aperient, and the most noted are those
of SeltZer, Sedlitz, Baden and EPSON.
Thermal mineral waters are valuable agents
in rheumatic affections; the most celebrated
are those of Bath, Buxton, Warm and Hot
Springs of Virginia, Arkansas. &c.
| have examined DR.. Periers compositions
of the principles of mineral waters, and find
by comparison that all the chaly ybeate waters
contain properties closely allied to each other;
from this fact, | come to the conclusion that
Pointe-auX-LOups Springs possesses virtues
that were they known, they would soon be
celebrated, For the information of those not
acquainted with these waters, would state
that they are strongly chaly ybeate; they act
we'll in all cases where the blood requires
to be strengthened and purified they also act
as a diaphoretic, and are strongly diuretic
l have known several cases of leucorrhpa
cured by the use of the bath and drinking the
water; and for gleet and gonorrhea there is
nothing better. Dispeptic persons are cured
invariably if they diet themselves and use the
water u sufficient length Of time. 1 have had
an opportunity to know the beneficial effects
of these Springs, as | resided near Mr.. Carts
for several years, and have paid particular
attention to many cases. MCMILLAN.

About o'clock on Thursday morning last, o
fire was discovered escaping from the upper
portion of Bloch & Dupre's establishment, cor
ner of Main and Bellevue streets. 1t was soon
made evident that the fire had gained consid
cradle headway before it was perceived. I'M
mediately On the alarm being given, Opelou-
sas Fire Co. No. /, and Hook and Ladder No
l, were promptly on the scene, soon followed
by the little Engine under charge of our col
ored citizens, all of whom done immense SER
vice in preventing the spreading of the fire,
and in saving most of the goods from the
lower story of the building burned--the up
per story being inaccessible when the fire was
discovered, on account of the great headway
already made by the fire. The grearter por-
tion of the stock of goods-and the most val
uable was stored up stairs, and was conse-
quently destroyed. There is now left of that
magnificent building-the largest in our town
or parish-but the four naked walls, which, it
is feared, cannot be of any service in build
ing This building was of brick, covered with
a fre-proof slate roof: was built by MIR. Pau
delly, one of the best architects of New Or
leans, in l842 and cost we believe $4,000
The loss in goods amounts to about $4,000,
partly insured. The building is a total loss to
Messrs. Bloch & Dupre, as it was not insured.
Our Fire Department, (the Fire Co. and Hook
and Ladder CO.. deserve much credit for their
prompt and efficient services in preventing the
spreading of the contlagratiun and it requir-
ed all their exertions to save the adjoining
buildings from becoming ignited, as there was
but the width of the street between the burn
ing building and the splendid frame building
occupied by Mr.. Sol Loeb. that occupied by
Mr.. D. Roos, Mr.. VIM. Lightley's tin-shop,
and the other adjoining buildings, Messrs.
Prevost's Zweinert's &c, all of which required
a continual stream of water to be played up
on them to prevent igniting; we should not
forget to mention the very efficient services
rendered by the colored men with the little
engine formerly belonging to Opelousas Fire
Co. No. l. on which occasion they gave ample
evidence of their competency of doing good
service when needed. rt-
There are many eonjectures as to the origin
of the fire, but nothing positive can be stated.
The amount of goods saved is variously estim-
atee at six or eight thousand dollars.
Messrs. Bloch & Dupre requestus to tender
their most sincere thanks to the fire depart
ment and citizens of Opelousas generally, for
their valuable services and courageous efforts
to rescue their property from destruction.
Messrs. Bloch 81 Dupre have temporarily
opened an Office near the Courier's. See their
advertisement elsewhere. .. g-t.E... -...

"The Mountain Labored," Etc,

The grand Liberal Convention which en-
braced all the liberality, intelligence, pratrot-
ism and craftsmanship in Louisiana worth
preserving, and which was composed of the
ouly set of men who could preserve the State
from total financial ruin and Africanization,
by uniting all the elements of opposition to
Gen. Grant, met in this city on Monday, Au-
gust 5th, and after labor of five days pro-
duce candidate for Governor, who cannot
carry single parish in the mountain that
produced very small sized mouse.
When the history of the Liberal Conven-
tion is fully known, it will conclusively estab-
lish the fact, that it was assembled in the i'll
terest of men whose motto was rule or ruin.
Had it been otherwise an union of all the ele-
ments opposed to Gen.. Grant could easily
have been effected. But they would accept
of no terms of compromise that did aot secure
to them the lions share of what they most de-
sired THE OFFICES. To have yield to their
demands, would have left the people as COM
pletely in the power of she cormorants, the
shylocks, as they are now. 1t was this con-
sideratior which restrained the Democrats
and Rcformers from yielding to the Liberals
the candidates for Governor, Lieutenant-Gov
erner and Attorney General. If the Liberals
are satisfied with the result of their labers,
the people will be with those of the Demo
Gratis and Reformers.-N o. Patriot

EDITOR CoURTER:-
Some weeks ago, YOU were promised, that
if anything of interest turned up in our
quarter, you should hear from US. Should
you find space in your paper for what VIC seEsd,
you are welcome to our desire to furnish YOU
with q few items from Waxia Owing to the
| industry, patience and perseverance of our
worthy nsighbor, Capt. E. c. Preston our road
to the Courtableau, which, heretofore. has
been disgrace to the neighborhood and
source Of sinful excamations from christian
men, has been converted into an agreeable
and useful highway. Every stream. ditch,
and rut, is now spanned by a bridge; each hole
filled, the palmetto cut away, and useless
trees removed.
AS working on the road" in these parts, is
a new thing, it being the first time for fifteen
or more years and as there were those who
were disposed to object to such work, the
task undertaken by the Captain, was stu
pendous one. Not less than twenty-five
bridges have been built, immense and lengthy
bitches dug, and oaks that have been standing
| for centuries. felled and rolled aside 1t may
be pleasing to the Taxpayers, to know, that
seven miles of road have been thoroughly
worked, bridged, ditched and leveled, in the
Parish of st, Landry, and the only expense
incurred, was three hundred and ffty-two
feet of lumber, worth less than twenty dollars.
Candidates for office had better take a note of
this, and talk economy when they visit Waxia
Our crops are unusually fine-much fine fodder
has been gathered during the last ten days.
The corn crop is abundant and safe-the cot
ton crop still hangs in the balance. The fore
runner as the neighbors call him, which can
now, be found in every field. is webbing and
preparing to go through that process which
changes him into butterfly. This fly is said
to be the mother of the vcritable cotton worm,
which will eventually appear upon the cotton.
The 'tforerunner' is AN inch in length, when
ready to spin his web, and his general appear
| ance green. ..-..=..
| To be more minute--he ia green on the belly,
on each side and on the back. The back is
separated from the side by yellow streak,
extending from the head to the tail. In the
| center of the back, parallel with the yellow
streaks, is an almost imperceptibe white line.
| This worm is a succession of ten joints, ia
Guiding head and tail.
Between the yellow streaks, on the back, in
the shape of a square are four black speeks on
each joint, four more on each joint on the sides.
He has twenty y-four feet. The head is of an
amber color, and covered with black specks,
| Between the head and first joint on d white
| ring, is a necklace of black specks. From
each one of these specks on the body, projects
| blaclS hair We have bottle full of these
| fellows in the crysalis state-when the but
terhy appears she shall have our attention.

Tl,e Procession, OF Saturday.

The New Orleans Bee, of Sunday, says 1--WE
translate from the Frenchl in its editorial
column:
LAST nights political demonstration sur
passed our expectations. The Democracy of
New Orleans gave evidence in this, as it were,
improvised turn ont, of what numbers OF yo-
ters they will be able to place in line when
their clubs shall be completely organized. Of
the "a 600 Democratic voters of .l86s, lin this
cityl there are certainly 10000 who will sup
port the united Democratic and Reform can
didates.
i This demonstration gives the greatest
hopes Of success in campaign, despite the
momentery desertion of citizens, whom we
have hitherto had the right to include in our
ranks, and whom we yet hope to see return
to the good cause
ne total number in the procession was
nearly ten thousand men. What better ans
wer could be given TO those who have asserted
that the Democracy was deadp
Our own estimate of the number in the nro-
cession was the same as that of the Rec, II
was based on the official reports of the cIuhs,
handed in during the day at Democratic head,
quarters, and then comparing them with the
number who actually turned out, This latter
count was made by i've different attaches Of
of our editorial corps, stationed at different
points on the route.-N. o. Picayuae.

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS
Point aaax LOupS Springs

THE undersigned takes this
hsK..SA-.5 mode of notifying the public
M iifaiS{,. SA that he is now III readiness TO
esslIas5fas% receive all those whose pleas
ure it may be to seek the above
as place of pleasure and recre-
alton, as well as those who may be lmpelied
from indispOsition to have recourse to them
for the remedial agen cy Of its waters. These
Springs are situated on the Bayou des Canes,
distant about 81 miles Southwest of the town
of OpelouSas. Among the numerous springs,
there to be found may be had such as are
found abouuding with Sulphur and prepara-
tions of Iron. The springs are very abundant,
and in one instance three OF the streams form
large basin which affords magnificent bath
ing place. The waters of the said basin can
be entirely renewed every hour, a crcum-
stance which is certainly calculated to add
much to its purity. At the distance OF some
five hundred yards from the principal bathing
place there is, besides this, another which is
furnished with an abundant stream of water,
the coldnesS of which can almost be compared
to that of ice.
In announcing the opening Of his Establish
ment, the undersigned does not pretend to offer
the same to the public as fashionable watering
place. where fine dressing may be exhibited
with the other general accomPanlments HIS
object, on the contrary, is to offer to the
afflicted a means through which shackled
constitution may be restored to health. The
remedial agency Of these waters i'll the relief
of Dyspepsia and in the permanent cure OF
cutaneous eruptions, from past experience,
now stands uncontradlcted.
The establishment consists Of comfortable
dwellings, with all the necessary furniture
which may be required at such place, and the
table will be always amply furnished with
whatever edibles may seem best to suit the
tastes of visitors. An excellent pasture in
which horses may be kept with safety, will
be at the disposition of such as may desire it,
IA we'll a q corn fodder, &c,
The charges of the undersigned will be mod.
crate and he feels satisfied that his visitors will
not only be satisfied with the accommodations
which they may receive, but that they will be
also equally contented with the degree OF
health which they may obtain from the
healthful use of the waters of the different
Springs -
