The INCENDIARY AT WORK.

THE INCENDIARY AT WORK. -
We regret to learn, at the moment
of going to press, of the destruc-
ton, at the hands OF an incendiary,
of the residence of Mr.. John LIE
sassier on the Beech Grove planta-
ton in th'5 Parish, on Thursday
morning at 4 o'clock. The fire
was first discovered on the outside
of all unoccupied portion of the
house. 1t was kind!ed with coal
oil, the whole gable end of the
building being drenched with the
conbustible fluid. The fire spread
very rapidly. M. Lesassier lost
about one half of his furniture,
stores &c. So far as we have
learned, suspicion eentses Oh no
particular individual as the per-
petrator of the crime.

was made by an ebony hued sconndre
by the name of Aleck Mason upon little
son of our respected fellew-townsman,
Mr.. L. d. COIN; aged about eight
years. Mason struck the little fellow in

A DAsTARDLY ACT. Some day


ago the Gulf steamer Lizzie was
burned on Lake Borne. The OFF,
ccrs and crew made narrow es-
cape. but after struggling three
hours with the waves, and expert
encing much hardship and suffering
finally reached land at or near, the
spot where the New Orleans end
Mobile rail road crosses the Rig
Diets. Here they determined to
await the coming Of the New Or
leans bound train, not however,
with the expectation of meeting
such inhuman treatment as they did
receive fror the beast who lejoices
in the title of sConductor" of that
train. This man, w. f. Owens,
should be held up to public execra-
ton wherever there is press to
condemn baseness Or denounce bru-
tally. We will cheerfijly do our
part thereto, and whenever we de-
sire to designate any person as par
ticualarly abject, base, brutal or
cowardly. we wilt bestow upon him
the name of W. F. OWENS, Conduc-
tor.
The following travesty we copy
from the New Orleans Sunday DEL
ia:
Good people here are on "the
ragged edge" waiting anxiously to
hear what satisfactory explanation
the Captain and Purser Of the
burned Gulf steamer Lizzie can
make for having disturbed the
equanimity of Conductor w. p.
Owens on the Mobile train last
Sunday. Their vessel had just
been burned; they and their Crew
had beer in the water three hours
and had barely escaped W it'll their
lives, yet they expected owens tC
bring them to the city on his train ,
on credit. Owens didn't perceive
it in those lanterns. not hel he
knew thing or two. Several
things in fact. He was the con-
ductor of that train. His duty was
to make everything and everybody
getting on the train pay so much a
mile. Sweet land of liberty, its
ofthee I sing" said Owens mildly
but firmly: pay as you CO." as
John Randolph once remarked, anc
if theCaptain ct ais did, like Casa
Blanca stand on the burning deck
why, whose fault was that -? Surely
not Owens. Really, on due reaec.
ton, we think Captain Felsher
and officers owe an apology t.

OUR PARISH.

Perfect 4uietude reigns through
out West Feliciana. Not an event
has occurred within the past few
weeks to relieve the monotony Of
good order that now prevails ; no
thing upon which to found local
il we except a little rumpus among
some of the female colored popu-
lation of st. Francisville which
was disposed of in an effectual man>
ner by Justice Raynham.
Never, we feel safe in saying,
since the war, have things moved
in as quiet and orderly groove
as they are doing at present. The
disturbing element, the chief leaders
of which have periodically cleft
their country for their country's
good" having apparently 'fsim>
mered down" aud a spirit Of obedi-
ence to law pervading society gem
orally, and with it the knowledge
that the laws will be rigidly and
faithfully enforced against evil
doors, the people have settled down
into that feeling of security and
repose that alone can bring pros
perity and happin ess in its train,
and to which they have for SO long
been strangers.
Time has been when the incom-
potency or unwillingness of the
courts and law officers to enforce
the laws made it incumbent upon the
people white and colored, conjoint-
ly, to take the remedy to some ex-
tent. into their own hands. Their
action was justified by the attend
ing circumstances, and right faith
fully and ehectually did they per-
form their duty. Under the benign
influences of a strong government,
based upon the people. new order
of things has been introduced, and
With it must follow those inestim-
able benefits for which We have SC
long yearned. If VIC do but man
fully, persistently and honestly
strive for the inviolable maintain
ance of those sacred pledges and
promises upon which the late pol
itical battle was fought and won
our parish will soon be upon the
highway to happiness and prosper
ity. These pledges must be scrup'
ulously observed; honor demand:
it and our interests require it.
The arts of peace must and we arr
srtisfed will be cultivated hence
forth and an era of mutual good
will and confidence be opened uE
that will result in the material anC
lasting amelioration of our every
interest.

CoNJUR VS.. MEDICAL SCIENCE

CONJUR VS.. MEDICAL SCIENCE
It is somewhat of a remarkable oc-
curence as related to US by the
party most directly interested, but
little Frank Boyer is Just as we'll
satisfied that his life was saved
through the mysterious signs,
gestures end incantations used by
Bud Chase, as he can be convinced
of any other proposition. We
give the circumstances as related to
as by the chief actor in the scene.
Little Frank Boyer is a colored
lad, about 8 or 10 years of
age, and lives on the river bank,
a short distance below Bayou Sara.
He states that on Tuesday the 10th
instant, while engaged in cutting
brush near his residence, ne was
bitten on his left arm just above
the rist, by snake known as the
stump tail moccasin. The arm i'm
mediately commenced to swell rap
idly and he suffered great pain.
Two of our most accomplished
physicians were called in, and they
exhausted the resources of their
science to relieve him, but to no
avail. His sufferings continued
and the swelling continued to in
crease. As a last resort, Bud
Chase, who is possessed of consid-
cradle celebrity as snake charm
er, was sent for and reached the
sufferer On Wednesday,, fully
twenty-four hours after the boy
was bitten. Bud wet the end Of
his finger with spittle and made
some cabalistic signs over the
wound, when 10, the pains subsidized
swelling receded, and instant
relief was the result. When we
saw the boy on Saturday last, he
was up town Oh an errand, and APP
parently entirely recovered.
Whether the cure was really effect
ed through Chase's agency, or wes
the result Of the remedies previ-
ously applied by the physicians, is
an open question. We simply
give the boys sta tement, as related
TO US, for what it is worth, adding
that we have heard Of other cures
alleged to have been operated
through Chases' agency.
Tha. Bud Chase is possessed of
remarkable personal influence over
snakes, or has the knowledge Of
come agency that is potent to con.
troll them and which is not known
to the generality of men, there can
be no doubt. We have seen him
pick mp the most venomous snakes
and handle and caress them with
immunity. A snake in his hands
ceases to be dangerous instru.
ment. Wherein does his influence
exist? That's the question.
