ST.. JAMES Ia, MARCH 23pp. 1876.
10 THE IplTOH OF T.n 1,o,-yer,yA,u

10 THE EDITOR OF LII LoUISrANAIS.
In Your Issue Of the 18th. inst, arpen. three
caras, one Of which is signed L. i. pocl,e,
and IN which he appears in the roll Of a !SouA-
eym ienHenan, aud fcaring that his y%craci,y
has been shaken, introduces Il. Beauvais to
bolster him up.
NJ. PochG swcars in his so-called petition
that purchased S;77G,5o in parish scrips from
Il. Beanvais, which [, as Mr.. Kerrigal. deny:
aud Mr.. Toche knows / did not.
MIR. Pochc surely don't forget tho day that
himself, Il. Beanvais, NJ. Marks and J. Kerri-
gnn met at the st. Chnrles Hotel and converts
ed on parish matters. And in less than twenty
minutes afterwards the $776, IS were loaned
Il. l;eauvais in his MI. Poch6's office: r. Beau
vais giving his note with $11o0 parish scrips
as security.
II I purchased s77e,55 parish ecrips from
i. bennva's, where wns the necessity OF him
depos'ting SLIGO parish scrips as security on
his note; or il l purchased the ss77G,5 parish
scrips. why should II. Beanvnis give his note?
Yet l held the note aud the security, Il.
Bcanvais %certities over his signature in your
issue OF same date above mentioned that Mr.,
Marks loaned him tho s776,55. But he does
not say anything about his selling parish scrips
to any one. Yet it seems strange how the note
ana SlluO parish scr'ps got in my safe with
out the knowledge of a Southern Gentleman
or Il. Beauvnis. The next time II. Beauyais
saw his note was whom he took it in settlement
with md for the parish from met was
then l returned to him his Sll0O parish scrips
winch ne gave me as security on his note.
Ii Il. Beanvais can redeem all the notes no
mas o"t ut the expense Of st. James parish
treasury, and if J.. N. Thibcleaux, tho Trea-
snrer, sit child like and bland and accepts.
then %certities that said notes arc genuine, /
think 1t III becomes n Southern Gentleman to
act Us parish Treasurer froul the 9th. OF feb
r,'ary to st. Patrick's day without knowing
that fact.
Ny: settlement with the parish was in strict
accordance with law. l hold Il. Bcauvais re-
ceipt $1,000 U. S. Currency, $1,000 approved
parish scrips; and, MIR. Editor, no one Of the
above mentioned names in this card shall
shield himself at my expense.

HANCOCK COUNTY.
Mr.. Ryder, an aged inmate of the Bucksport
almshouse, recently heated some water to
the boiling point, and deliberately poured two
quart dishful upon the bald head of another
inmate named Brown, dangerously scalding
him. No reason can be assigned for the act of
Ryder who lies in Ellsworth Jail awaiting trial.
KENNEBEC COUNTY.
A prominent citizen of West Waterville has
drawn up ar article to be inserted in the war
rant for the next annual town meeting, which
reads that all citizens who use intoxicating
liquors or tobacco shall be refused assistance
by the town till evidence is produced showing
such habits to be abandoned.
The Gardiner Reform Club now numbers
