will regret to learn that he is suffering
from a severe attack of rheumatism. 1t
is hoped that ho may speedily recover
Fig Crop The fig crop Throughout
this section is quite slim; owing to the
fact that what is known as the first

of tho lot weighing three fourths Of u
pound.
Special TarcS.-The attention Of our
readers is directed to the advertisement
in this issue, relative TO Special Taxes.

strict, and it would be well for those
on whose business Il special tax is lev
led, to pay particular attention to this

cations may be made of him at SaIlo's

First Communicates Sunday a
host of children, of various ages, took
their first communion at the Catholic
Church. Our reporter attended, with a
view Of saying something on this i'm
portRnt and interesting subject; butGAn-
fortunately lost his notes. However, he
was we'll pleased with the ceremonies.
One of the principal features of this
church is the choir; which, being COM
posed OF the best musical talots of our
town, is indeed excellent.
District Cowrt.-Tho District Court
for this parish is still In session. Une
of the most interesting cases on docket,
was that Of the negro, Vincent, who
perpetrated the horrible outrage on the
adapted daughter of Mr.. Alfred Peck.
His case came up for trial the latter
part of last week, and resulted in q SEN
tence to hard laqor for life.
The case Of Charles Davis, the noted
house breaker and robber, has not yet
been tiled.
Entirely too Famitiar.-Of all the
pests of this world, We cannot now call
TO mind one of which we have so much
or which We hold in such utter
abhorrence as q snake. The very sight
Of one invariably causes Nh irresistible
desire to show the snake how quick we
get out Of his way. Imagine our
feelings, then, the other morning, when
Oh entering our Office, to find a hugo
quietly in possession thereof.
To say that we were slow in vacating
The promises would be ~slandering the
which support our body. Yes,
We lit out in a somewhat hasty manner,
,ut after due consideration, concluded
return and STAY the monster; which
Ve did, in a highly oreditable, though
somewhat fierce and furious manner. !
Woods Household Magazinc.-The J
Iune number is just the book for the
circle. Just the dear old House. I

The articles are not so heavy
here are more storiesS not trashy, SEN
ational compositions, but such as bear G
throughout a strong influence for all u
is good, and pure and true. A no. :
.ceable feature is that there is some. !
hing helpful, encouraging, comforting /
pom almost every page. A bright face :
Ike this is needed in every household.
Temperance story is announced here. A
ter for every number. II. v. Osborne
r~enoroonl has been recalled as editor n
I'd assumes the entire management. l
