general high water scare

"A general high water scare
Is on the community at present,
ana 1t seems only too likely that
the fears entertained on this score
will be justified ; in the early part
OF this week the water commenced
to rise at Berwick's Bay and Ba
yoo Reuf at the rate of u to two
inches in "a hours !; a little later
the rise was observed at Chaca
houla. and at present is at the
rate of two inches per day. The
water has reached the Brui6 Gull
lot inst above this place, and we
are informed that some of the in
habisants have already moved
out OF Little Texas 4; the bayou at
this point is again rising but the
crevasse below will probably re.
Ileve the levees sufficiently to pre-
vent other breaks. The general
feeling is that it Hickey levee
breaks we will have very high
water here, and that 1t will be
more disastrous and entail great
:r expense to resist it than if it
had come earlier.
The weekly Thibodaux sentinel and journal of the 8th Senatorial District. [volume] (Thibodaux, Lna. [i.e. La.]) 1875-1898, 1876-05-13

! 1--WE had hoped in this iss,i1
20 announce the closing of the
disastrous crevasse below here at
the Beanvais Place, but we learn
that on Wednesday evening when
tae work of closing was begun
the water burst through that noe.
ton of the levee recently built in
the Opening, thus undoing all the
labor expended on the underta-
king. Those who we're endeavoriug
to repair it seem discouraged. aud
tor the present at least have
abandoned the attempt. The
amount of damage already, and
likely to be, inflicted by this ere
vase is impossible to estimate at
present ; the loss will fall heavily
on the small planters who are
numerous on that side OF the
bayou, and principally engaged in
rice culture.

Senator Twitchwell who was
shot at Coushatta recently is in
a fair way to recover, and has
SAID that he thinks he knows his
assaiiant, he il said to be Thomas
Bean a republican lamb, whom
IWltchell promised one thousand
dollars for spiriting away cleo
ton returns, aud who was refus
ed payment on the ground that
ne did not do the work well :
smarting under this injustice, Mr..
Bean took this fOrcible method of
calling Twitchell's attention to
his little bill, and the latter is re.
ported to be- unwilling to have
the matter investigated. Despite
this christian forgiveness and
party fealty on the Part of the
Senator, We hope the affair will
be fully cleared up, and that the
minds ut the Republicans will be
set ut rest Oh the matter we
sympha.hize with them in the
disappointment Of not having "A
democratic crime to howl over.
but on the whole are better salts
lied with the case as it stands .
It at least establishes the fact
that Republicans can occasional
y be iawless Of course, though.
THIS Is the effect OF surrounding
and association.
