sRaising Cane"

In perambulating around loose on
Thursday, We saw commotion about
the establishment of l.. NJ. Spencer d
Bro, and being of an inquiring mind
concluded we would go there and see
what the fuss was about. Instead OF
running across a first-class plug muss
or bully shooting scrape, found those
enterprising gentlemen with coats off,
experimenting the receipt of car load
of cane mills. Knowing that the sor-
ghum cane will sson be ready for gath
ering and grinding, the Messrs. Spen-
Ger have laid in supply of the cele-
brated Bell cane mills, for which they
are agents, to meet the requirements
of their farming friends. They have
orders already for fourteen of these
mills, and parties who need good mills
should call early, or they may fail to
get them.
They have, also, on exhibition, one
of George l.. Squires' Crushers, OF
TWO tUOuod1u tWO bubuiSN pOohN'1
weight, which is capable of grinding a
crop of sixty acres of sorghum in short
order. 1t would prove a good invest
ment for several farmers, living In the
same neighborhood, to combine aud
purchase this Crusher, as it can be
obtained on easy terms.
Farmers and planters, in visiting
Dallas, should make it point to call
at l.. NJ. Spencer and Bros agricul-
tural warehouse, OIL Elm street, above
Poydras. They will find them polite
and accommodating gentlemen, and
ready to supply their country friends
with the latest and most approved
styles of agricultural implements and
labor-saving machinery.

Sudden rlentfl,

A man by the name of Kellogg, EN-
ployed at Mr.. Burriss' livery stable, on
Elm street, died, on Thursday evening
after few hours illness, from the eff
fects of an over indulgence in stimu-
lants. He was an habitual drinker,
and had once or twice before, while in
Mr.. BIS employ, been similarly attack
ed. On Thursday, however, he rapidly
succumbed to the effects of his dissipa-
ton, and, although every attention was
provided by Mr.. Burris, he died in an
hour or so after he was first taken
sick.

which are not on its exchange-hst, asking
the views of each paper on the veto. The
replies are now coming in. They vary in
tone, from that of the man who writes
that he is glad to have the opportunity to
thus put himself on record for hard mon
ey, to that OF the disciple of Logan, who
says, with more passion than photography

more common type. Below is the report

States mentioned:
