"dam-nigh-it fiend."
~ Since we begun to issue the
Semi Weekly, We give more reading
matter than any country paper In the
State for 81, yet our subscription list
has increased very little.
~ Notwithstanding the fearful con-
dition of the roads, &C., we get now
our daily mails regularly on time. Mr..

~ A private Telegram received
here from New Orleans states that
Gov. Kellogg has appointed Geo. B.
Abercrombie Clerk of District Court
for this parish, vice J. w. Walker re-
signed, and that the Senate approved
the appointment.
~ Great many of our subscribers
complain Of not receiving the Banner
regularly. It must be owing to the
bad mail facilities in some parts of our
parish, or else some Post-masters are
very remiss in their duties. We mail
the Banner punctually to every sub
scriber on the day of publication. We
do all we can to see that our patrons
get their paper promptly.
"a just Think January gone and
no winter yet. Barely week of cold
weather oil combined have we had for
the winter of 1855. The weather,
most the time, is provokingly hot y
It is really too unreasonable! Should
this state Of temperature continue a
few weeks longer, we fear the fruit
trees and all vegetation will put forth
their buds and blossoms just in time
to be nipped off and carried away by
the cold, bleak winds Of March moth
er earth will don her verdant mantle,
bespangled with the beautiful wild
flowers Of the woods, to be cruelty dis
robed by the biting, bitter freezes ac-
companying the North winds OF
March--the days opening cold and
raw, and the nights shutting the earth
with their frost-locks. Such is our
prediction.
~ Holding fast to its old name,
which it has carried successfully thro'
period of 30 years, the AMERICAN
AGRICULTURIsT swings out its banner
for the Centennial year" with the Wig
or of the prime of life, and with well
founded promises of still greater
achievements in its appropriate sphere,
that Of q plain, practical, instructive
family journal. Its name, adopted at
thu. start for special field of work,
has become almost mis-nomer, be-
cause it is now equally useful to City,
village and Country. The closing
number Of vol. 81, now before us, is
null Of good things, varied in contents,
which are prepared with much labor
and care, and illustrated with over 60
well executed and well printed original
sketches and engravings. This Jour-
nal Is q marvel of cheapness, beauty
and utility, costing only SLIGO q year,
postage included, for its more than 500
double pages of useful information, and
500 to 600 fine engravings. Every
family should have it. ORANGE JUDI
