In the case of the State VS.. Reese
charged with tho murder of Gaines
Story, the jury, after arguments by
Mr.. Gunby for the accused and District
Attorney Dunn for the State, found Il
verdict of manslaughtcr, for which the
law prescribes Imprisonment from one

River Items.

We direct attention to the joint card
of the steamers Ouachita Belle, Gov
Allen and Leslie Taylor. These are
tine passenger packets, will run up to
schedule time, and are differed by
gentlemen we'll known on the Ouachita
and with whom it is pleasure to
travel.
The steamer Trenton brought up
Wednesday Capt. John Morris's new
Wharfboat for Trenton. We have had
no opportunity to inspect the boat, but
as she passed up we could see that she
is of large capacity handsome in appear
ance and we'll arranged.
The Belle passed down Monday with
about 1900 bales on board, but with
hardly half-a-dozen passengers. She
reached Camden, found plenty of cotton,
but the merchants not disposed to ship.
The Leslie Taylor went out with Il
full load-even the boiler deck was
crowded. Passengers We're scarce.

Col. Tim was probably the Oldest editor

to Alexandria where he published the

Since the arrival of Rev. DR.. ]. Glueclz
the interest Of the Jewish congregation
of this city, over which he exercises
spiritual control, has been greatly in
creased. The regular Friday evening

aroused the devotion of our Jewish
friends, and they are in consequence
earnestly united in the progress of their
ancient religion.
The Young Israelite Society, organic
ed by, DR.. Glueck, has given several
charades in which rapid progress was
shown. The pupils of the Doctors
school have made considerable adj
Vancement in Hebrew and German,
and under Mrs. Meagher's supervision
have made great Improvement in Eng

scroll and silver pointer will be pre-
sented by the Young Israelite Society
