persons cut the ropes used for hosting the
awnings of the stores on Poydras street, from
Camp street to the Poydras market. This
deed will prove very annoying to the Poy dras

and St. Charles streets were attracted yester-
day by the somewhat. remarkable sight of
large number of Belgian muskets 5000 being
carted away from the side entrance of the
Louisiana State Lottery Company's Office,
under the supervision of Mr.. G. T. Howard
and Majors Cross and Stevenson. An examin-
alton of the muskets proved them to be
genuine guns with ugly looking steel bayc-
nets and bores capable of chambering minia-
ture cannon balls. A curious bystander was
informed mysteriously by Mr.. Howard that
they were intended to clean out the Legisla-
ture, unless the proper reform measures were
passed. Later, however, it cropped out that
the guns were only intended for the peace
able purpose of arming the Biloxi battalion
Of Rex's grand army, which will soon make
its entry into the capital.
