intact. Several immense piles of lumber
blocked the streets, with the remains OF
houses which a few days ago contained stocks

xailroad track, was bayou twelve feet deep
and one hundred and twenty feet wide, over
which ferry boats had been improvised.

but to less distance. Two of these are on |
each side of d. G. Proctor's residence an d |
