Mrs. J. Gondran paid visit to
West Feliciana last week and brought
home her daughter, widow of the late
D. A. Weber, who will doubtless re-
side here permanently. In the home
of her early years, surrounded by
loving kindred and sympathizing

Much CONSERVATION was caused
among the friends of Senator Pierre
Landry this week by a report that he
had been seriously shot in the face by
n would be assassin while walking on
the street after night, in New Or
leans. A gentleman of the same name
was shot under these circumstances,
but it happily proved net to be our
Senator. Senator Landry is generally
esteemed and respected, even among
his political opponents, aud We should
be surprised indeed to discover that
any one bore him ill-will TO such an
extent as to make an attempt upon
bis life.

Didn't we tell You sol An adver-
tisement which we predicted in last
issue appears in our columns this week
and calls attention to the business OF
Mr.. Joseph Icard, machinist, brass
founder, carriage and wagon maker,
who is established in his new shop on
Railroad Avenue, adjoining Mitchell
g. Co.'s stable. Mr.. Icard is a first
class mechanic, and all work turned
out by him will be of the highest order
of excellence. While yielding to none
in point of workmanship, Mr.. Icard
will also invite competition in the
matter of prices.

THE DAVIS HoMICIDE.-We have
received from friend of the deceased
a letter intended to correct some err
roneous statements in our article of
week before last relative to the killing
of Willie C. Davis by Alex. Babin, at
Thiry's store, parish of 1berville, on
the End inst. We cheerfully give
space to the material PORTIONS of the
letter. uemarking, en- PEASANT, that our
statement was based On information
which we deemed reliable, but as our
informant received the account of the
affair at second hands, he was no
more responsible for the errors con-
tanned therein than we were. Our
correspondent writes as follows:

A deputy Sheriff from New Orleans
arrived here last Sunday with an at
tachment for William Nelson, alias
Henry Emerson, Tor Uice Uersa), the
colored man who assaulted and wound
ed his wife with an axe, at this place,
on the Sth inst. The fellow was tried
in New Orleans some time ago for
assaulting and robbing a school teacher
in Carrollton, and was convicted, but
escaped while the jury were consld-
ering their verdict. He now goes
back to receive sentence for the prior
crime, and will undoubtedly get as
long term in the penitentiary as the
law will allow. The couDtenance OF
this scamp bears evidence of the mean
and brutal instincts of his nature, and
our first impression upon scanning his
features was that he was of the class
of beings gallows are built for. So
ciety is gamer by his retirement tt
the penitentiary. The prisoner was
delivered into the custody of the dep
uty Sheriff and taken away on the
afternoon train. His wife is recover
| ing from her injuries.
