than five years last past that on tho 18th day
of October, 1854, to wit; at New Haven, in said
County, she was, her then maiden name being
Della Sturtevant, joined in marriage with Afba

duly authorized by the laws of the State to SOL
emnize such marriage therein; that from the
time Of said marriage till the first day Of Novem-
Der, 1863, she lived with the said Arba Perry as
his wife in tho faithful discharge Of all the duties
incumbent on her as the wife of the said Arba
Perry, when the said Arba Perry deserted the Pc
titioner and has ever since, for more than three

vorced from the said Arba Perry, and be declared

RIoE.-The following is from the crop
statement of Mr.. Bouchereau:
Should the cultivation of rice continue to
increase in Louisiana as it has been dong
since the war, we will soon equal South
Carolina in the production of this valuable
cereal, the rapid increase of it's cultivation
here proving to be highly profitable.
Many large plantations are now Guilt
waited in rice which formerly produced
large quantities of sugar. Before the war,
rice was only cultivated in a small portion
OF the parish of Plaquemines, and only in
small patches. Now it is largely cultivated
IN several parishes. as appears elsewhere in
this book, and there are still vast quantities
of marsh lands which could be advantage
ously devoted to it, wherever the proper
irrigation can be applied at the proper time.
The falling off Of this crop for the last
year or two must be attributed to the fact,
that the rivers and bayous, on which we
depend for this irrigation were too low to
furnish it in the months Of May and June,
when this irrigation is most necessary.
The average yield of rice to the acre in
Louisiana is fifteen barrels of rough rice,
although on the Star plantation, in the par
1sh OF PlaQuemines, nineteen barrels were
gathered to the acre last year, which is
equal to eight and half barrels of clean,
merchantable rice.
The cold weather of this last April in
jured the rice planted early and necessi-
tated some replanting.
The prospects for the growing crop, how
ever, are favorable, there being a larger
acreage in cultivation, decided improve
ment in the quality of the seed planted and
greater attention to its cultivation, we an
ticipate a crop much larger than the last
and of much better quality.
In referring to the recapitulation of the
crops we find the following particulars:
