GAS.-It always does SO 1t cant help

will always fuss about gas, and waste a
great deal of tho article before it makes u
contract with tho gas company. During
the past three months gas has been an i'm
porisnt question with cur aldermen, a
question in which the gentlemen from tho
First ward have taken much interest,
and in which Alderman Msthuss has
been unable to determine whether he ssw

neither than of the other. Poor. gentle
and innocent Gerould, who coun.s fair
but whose arithmetic is cursed by Il host
OF gas consumers, has been making bids
OF every kind, but to no purpose. The
council cannot see the gas in his lamps,
an expression We use under pressure and
protest. Ard now comes Alderman Hal
lidsy proposing 10 receive proposals
from tho gas company to fur

and SO forth. We have been told that tho
company has offered TO furnish gas at

around us. Why, then, docs tho council

having this matter in hand and tho gas
company officers cannot meet and in half
an hour either agree upon price for ga,
or agree to disagree. Why there saould

Another heavy rain Monday
night, since which time we
have had delightful weather.
April 25. 1874.

The government observer
reports a rise of three inches
in the river at this point on
Sunday and four inches yes
terday, making it thirty feet
above the low water of 1872,
or about the same as the high
est water of that year. Ac-
cording to marks on the ware
house at the foot Of Texas
street the river is now within
three feet of being as high as
it was in 1866 or 1867.
The situation below here is
as follows On the Bossier
side all the plantations below
Chalk Level are under water
as far down as we have heard,
say Adkins landing, and we
judge this to be pretty much
the case from that down to the
Gatlin plantation. On the
Caddo side all the low places
from Eagle Bend to Tones
bayou are under. They are
as follows Eagle Bend, no
levee, ten hands at work; Elk.
Hall. no levee, two or three
white men. These are low
places and 60 under every
heavy rise. Col. Wards place,
just above Tones bayou, was
all right, and could stand one
foot more rise in the lower
places. Below Tones bayou
all the places with levees were
nnhurt, so far as we have been
able to learn. = shreveport
