BURNT.-On Thursday night of last week
the kitchen and residence of Mr.. Placide
Thibodeaux, at Upper Plaquemine in
this parish, caught fire and were des-
troyed, with most Of the contents, inclu-
ding two hundred and fifty dollars in
green backs aldsevenhundred and fifty
dollars in goldand silver. His dwelling
was being repaired, and the familywere
occupying the Iitchen. The night was
very cold, and a large fire had been
made; while all were asleep the kitchen
chimney caught fire which was cOmmu-
nicated to the dwelling near by, the
wind blowing that way. The fire was
discovered too late to save the house OF
much of the c~oltents.

A NEW AND SHREwD FRAUD.-The
latest dodge in the market line, says the
Chillicothe (Ohio) Constitution, is larded
corn meal, or corn meal larded. This
new article of commerce is sold for
lard, and is composed of about equal
quantities Of genuine lard and fine,
white meal. The process of manufac-
ture is to melt the lard and then add
the meal, stirring the mixture we'll to-
gether. The compound can be easily
detected by the rough and g1ainy ap;
when the article is melted. When meal
is selling at sixty cents n bushel and
lard at twelve and a half cents per
pound, it does not require much of an
arithmetician to count the profit. After
this specimen of moral honesty, the
Yankees must knock under with their
wooden nutmegs and Eastwood hams.
Patent butter was bad enough, but corr
meal lard is an advance in ~rascality.

SHOCKING MURDER.-We hsaVe &c
record one of the most horrible m'su-
ders ever committed in our parish.
From what we could learn; it seems
that two men, Francois Martin and Jo-
seph Gommary, at Tasgo Cove at Me-
mento, were visiting the same young
lady, Miss Mary Jane Wright. One
night last week the two men met at her
house. A quarrel ensued, which was fol-
lowed by a fight, neither being armed.
Miss Wright seeing her favorite, Mar
tin, was getting the worst of it, rushed
to his rescue with Z Ratchet in which
was an ak handle, aud placed it in the
hands of Martin, WhOsWhile his antag-
onist was being heki by the united
strength OF himself and Miss Wright,
hacked Gonlmaly To pieces. Those who
saw the body state thatit was horribly
mlitilated, even after death. We saw
the weapon used, which certainly pre-
senteda CHASTITY spectacle, covered as it
was with blood and brains. Both the
man and woman are u jail here, having
been sent before the district Court by
Justice Hehrard. The female Is said
to be only about nineteen years old.

A SAD SToRY.-The Harrisburg (K.)
People furnishes the following story Of
WOman's infidelity:
George Lanilam had an attractive
wife, but she couldn't concentrate on
George. She was philanthrOpically
diffuse in her affections. Six months
ago she went cover the hills and far
away" with Galen E. Taylor, their hor-
ses Looping and the lovers clipping at the
same time. George was cleft behind
lamenting," but wouldn't stay behind.
He mounted his charger, pursued the
gay Lochinvar and the fair deserter,
overlook them and drew q. bead on
Taylor in the most satisfactory manner.
Lanham took his fair young bride back
home, and left Taylor to "a large circle
of sorrowing friends" The husband
was tried and acquitted. Recently
Lanham awoke one morning to find
himself once more deserted by the fair
but unwilling partner of his bosom.
She had been borne away by Elijah
Wilson, a Methodist minister. Out of
his large flock Elijah hankered after
this particular mutton. Lanham once
more shOuldered his trusty rifle, but the
tenderhearted fugitiyes left no trace be-
hind them. The parson was too many
for him, and he returned home in a most
unenviable state of mind-no fair bride
in his arms, no scalp-lOck at his belt.
