A VALUABLE WORK.


Dr.R.V. Pierce, of Buffalo, distinguish

4 profession he honors, has made a valu-
.,le contribution to the medical literature
of the day, in a comprehensive work enti-

many eympathies in common with the
masses, has sought to render them . sub

As will be observed FROM a perusal
of the proceedings of the Town Coon-
Gil, grave charge Of official misocn-
duct has been made against Constable
Sullivan. He has presented bills for
poisoning and burying 80 dogs, but
an examination of the spots where
the animals are said to have been in
tered revealed but one carcass. An
action has been instituted against the
Constable for obtaining money under
false pretenses, and he will need to
make skillfnl defense to escape con-
viction, Judging from appearances. If
he is guilty Of the charge, several
draymen who testified to hauling the
" dogs in buckram =" to the depopula-
ted burying ground will be involved
in the disgrace of the proceeding.
We learn from an acquaintance
who visited Plaquemine this week,
that the trial of Robert Love for the
murder of Harvey keens was conclu-
ded Tuesday, the jury returning a
qualified verdict, Guilty. without
capital punishment" Under this
finding the murderer must be SEN
fenced to the penitentiary for life.
Our readers will recall the particulars
of the brutal killing of Keens-an in
offensive old man who was sent TO his
death for begging fiendish, drunken
scoundrel to desist from beating his
wife-and with us they will marvel
that a jury could be found to give
verdict that saves tho criminal from
the gallows and consigns such a dan
gcrous character to the uncertain GUS
tody of the lessees of the State peni-
Tertiary. Loves escape from the rope
is accredited wholly to the powerful
and eloquent plea of his counsel, the
evidence having substantially argeed
with the version of the affair which
was published in the CHEF Of June
10Th.

We always believed that dog of
Print Dixon's was valuable animal,
and when the Constable got $40 so
for killing and burying him, we felt
sure of it. A few more dogs as val
liable as that one would be the max

Mr.. Lyle, section boss at this end
of the railroad, met with a painful
accident last evening, about three
miles below town. He was riding on
the front of hand-car in a sitting
position, legs hanging over, aud as
his car approached another standing
upon the track, he raised his foot to
break the force Of the collision, but
installing the distance, fell off. Two
wheels of the hand-car passed over
his t.1in5'leg at the ankle joint, inflicting
seri6, ; injury. He was conveyed to
the Donaldsonville depot, and medi-
cal assistance summoned. DR.. Nc
Galliard informs us that the injured
man was doing we'll last night.

Despite the opinion Of the recent
Grand Jury that the Police Jury did
an unwise thing in making all out
standing legal scrip receivable for all
dues to the parish, that body has
wisely deemed fit to extend the oper-
ations Of the resolution complained Of;
and now the Town Council comes to
the front with an enactment Of the
same nature concerning town scrip
and dues If we mistake not, the
tie very Councilman who proposed
the measure inveiglsed loudly against
tho original action Of the Police Jury.
He has perhaps come to the conclu-
sion that corporation can not per-
petrate alsinjustice in recognizing it's
own paper aud treating all it's credit
Ors alike.
