THE FIRST NEW RE

The New Orleans Price Current,
Of the 14th says:
Our cotton circles were complete
~ taken by surprise this morning
by the receipt of bale of cotton
which arrived last evening; not
from the Rio Grandc, as usual, bu'
from st. Landry parish, shipped by
Mr.. Joseph Beraud from his plans
tation on the Teche. As this is
considerably in advance of the gen.
eral expectation. it has occasloned
unusual excitement among facto; 8
and brokers; the more SO as there
can be no doubt as to the bale be-
ing of the new crop, we'll ginned
and of good stal le and color, class
ing middling fair to fair, new clas
sificatiOn; and weighing upwards
of four hundred pounds. We learn
that most of this cotton is from the
plantation Ct Mr.. Berand. but re
ceived liberal contributions from
his neighbors, all Of whom were fur
nished by him with the seed plant
ed-an unusually early variety,
called the " HerlOng." The bale
was purchased by Col. w. M. Owen
at the fancy price of twenty five
cents per pound.

SHAD.

1t is we'll known that for some
years the Agricultural Department
of the Federal Go yernment have de.
voted q good deal of time and
money on science in fish culture.
For some time past Capt. Archie
McGehee, Messrs. G. D. Subway
and James M Mckee, and other
gentlemen, have been endeavoring
to get the department to introduce
shad into our waters. They have
at last succeeded, and on Friday
last, Mr.. Anderson, United States
Commissioner, arrived here with six
124 gallon cans filed with young
shad-abOut 100000 in number
and turned them loose in the Pearl.
They were about five-eighths of all
inch in length, and were less than a
week old. They were hatched at
Mount Pleasant, Delaware river,
few days before they started South.
Soon after being turned loose they
disappeared in the deep water of
the river, and whether they are
ever heard from again remains to
he seen.-Jackson Clarion,
American citizen. [volume] (Canton, Miss.) 1864-1890, 1875-07-24

A STRANGE STORY. We learn
from q friend who had been i'll the
vicinity from whence the story
comes, that about three weeks since
a small sail boat, schooner rugged,
and well equipped, came to Bayou
la Batre, manned by only two men,
evidently strangers. They offered
one of the residents there forty
dollars to guide them to Devils
Bend, which offer was accepted.
They lproceeded to a point where
tradition says LATTE had buried
some of his ill-gOtten gold, and
where once stake stood which
had eight notches upon its side.
Persons had dug there at various
times, one man going to a depth
of three feet, Tut finding nothing.
These men went down eight feet, and
the man who piloted them to the
place and out again, says that they
took out an iron bound box with
seventy five thousand dollars of
Spanish gold. He says they paid
him his forty dollars as agreed,
and then they disappeared. leaving
only the hole, the mark OF the box
on the sand, and the maddening
thought to all t, easure seekers that
u fortune had escaped them.-Mo-
bile Tribune.

A BATTLE WITH SNAKES
From the Paris (Mo } Appeal.

From the Paris ono } Appeal
A few days since, while a young
man of the vicinity of Middle Grove,
whom we shall designate as Jeemes,
was stumbling in the field, he ran
upon bllck snake in a cluster Of
bushes, and calling his dog Zip, set
him after the snake. While he was
intently watching the progress of
the fight between his snakeship aud
his favOrite canine something from
behind took him "whack upon
the seat of his trousers, and, turn
ing quickly, he discovered to his
horror tremendous hoI se-racer,
full six feet in length, with head
erect, kissing tongue and glaring
eyes, curling himself up in the full
est attitude of battle, and before
Jeemes could comprehend the ter
