LouIsIASA.--The cultivated lands in
Louisiana have decreased nearly million
acres since 1866 That fact alone tells
the story Of plumber and misrule. There
is no richer soil than that of Louisiana.
Swamps cut into much Of her area. but
the tillable land, now uncultiyated, is
placed as high as twenty millions Of acres.
In view Of this fact, the leading merchants
Of that State, in convention at New Or
leans, have been discussing the ways and
means to induce immigration there. 1t
was shown that the agricultural labor Of
the State is annually becoming less efficient
and its staple and food crops, and even its
domestic animals, its lords and fiocks,
have been reduced as much as one-third
In the last twelve years, and that less than
one hundred thousand, or not one-seventh
of the population, plant, cultivate and har-
vest the crops Of the State. Division Of
land into smaller plantations and induce
ments to immigrants are the remedies pro-
passed. But capital will not come, nor i'm
migrants stay within her borders, until
better government 10 assured to Der people.

EXTRAORDINARY EAIGRATIoN.--The
Pail Mall Gazette thus laments the exodus
to the United States 1t is extraordinary
that the working classes do not seem more
inclined to stay at home and enjoy the
political privileges which they have Of late
gained, and which they were supposed to
price so highly. They appear to be leay-
ing US in swarms. The exodus from
Liverpool and the United States to Canada
this spring promises to be the largest on
record. The number Of intending emf
grants which daily reach Liverpool is 50
great that the lodging-house keepers find
it difficult to accommodate them, and the
consequence IS that large numbers of the
emigrants have to be temporarily lodged
until such times as vacancies occur In tho
customary lodging-houses. As showing
the extent of the exodus, it is generally
believed, says the Manchester EraH,iaer
that upwards of 10000 emigrants lief,
Liverpool last week for the United State.
and Canada. This number of course
does not include those who would embark
on board the steamers calling at Lundon-
derry and Queenstown,

LlxwooD IrKMs.--On Monday last, Mr..
Robert Davidson, who resides on the farm of
Peter Shriner, ESQ.,, two miles from this place
met with an accident that came near termina.
ting fatally. Mr.. Davidson was engaged
in hauling hay to EHgood Station, and on
his return home, ia descending the hill at
Priestland schoolhouse, in his effort to draw
the rubber the horses started, and in attempt
ing 10 stop them he fell and the wagon passed
over his legs bruising them severely, but for
tunately no bones were broken. The horses
ran into the woods at the end Of the lane
when the two front horses got loose from the
wagon, and one Of the wheel horses struck
his head against tree with such violence as
to cause his death. At last accounts Mr..
Davidson was doing well.
A horse belonging to John I. Messler, near
this place, died last week, after attaining the
venerable age of "a years. This valuable an.
imsl mas raised and kept at hard labor until
withia 2 or 8 years of his death, upon the
same farm.

CLEAN Ur.--As the heated term is rapidly
approaching we wonld remind our readers
that it behooves them to begin removing the
garbage and rubbish which has collected
around their premises during the past winter,
Even with the most particular housekeepers
j is almost impossible to prevent its accumu-
iatiop. Aside from the mere measure Of
cleanliness. this matter should receive atten-
ton more partiealarly as q matter of health,
for there is no fact better established than that
filth and dirt around dwelling is one of the
most frequent causes Of sickness and disease.
There are persons, however, who, notwith
standing they feel this to be true, yet through
csrelessness or some other feeling, allow filth
Of all kinds to accumulate around their prem
ises, and never think Of removing il until they
are 50 compelled, either by the complaints Of
their neighbors, who are sufferers, or by the
enforcement Of those laws relative to the mat
ter, which have been enacted by the authori-
ties of every properly governed municipality.
