Tug OYSTER WAR CLOSED Captain JO
Clmarelli returned from Grand Isle last
evening, and reports that the oyster war
between the residents Of Cheniere Ca.
1nsnada and the Austrians is settled. The
captain has gained complete victory for
his friends. and hereafter peace will reign
in Barataria bay. The peopl on tie Che
Mere received Colonel Loan and Captain
Cimarelli in the most friendly manner, and
agreed forever hereafter to let the Aus.

A DISHONEST NEwsBoY.-It is rare that a
newsboy acts dishonesty. AS class the
youthful vendors Of news are yegardful of
all trusts confided TO Them. The occurrence
Of an instance Of dishonesty on the part of
any member Of tho newsboy fraternity calls
for special mention. On Monday last
gentleman residing near the corner of Es-
planade and Robertson streets gave two
dollar. bill to newsboy. The lad not having
change offered to procure change elsewhere,
and forthwith incontinently departed and
has not since returned.
OYSTERS NEXT MoNrH.-There is a fair
prospect that the retail price of oysters will
be lowered next month. Heretofore the
price has beea thirty cents per dozen of
raw. which was altogether too much.
Several dealers have already concluded to
hereafter sell at twenty cents per dozen,
which is sufficient, giving the retailer
good profit. Large and central houses
would not retail at less than thirty cents
last year, but small outside shops made
money at ten cents. The movement is al
ready inaugurated.
BRIEF MENr1oN.-Some silly persons
started a report on Wednesdu ny evening that
people on Cheniere Camanada had shown
fight when proper officers appeared to serve
the writ of injunction restraining the AGA
dams interfering with the Austrian oyster
rakers, and few foolish people took it in.

A sharper who knows that Mr.. Leon La
