your village, to make flying visit to
Norris Mills, which are situated in u
very pretty place on point OF land
near where the Calcasien river empties
into Lake Charles, ] there became ac-
uuainted with Mr.. Jones, one of the
owners OF the mills, who is a very pleas
mt. elderly gentleman, and appears
kind to the men in his employ, seeing
personally to the minutest details OF his
immense business, and kindly assisting
and showing the men the best way to
accomplish their work. ] also had an
introduction to Mr.. Waight, the Fore
man, who is gentleman and thorough
mechanic, and well fitted for the posi-
ton he so nobly fills. While he is earn
estly and faithfully looking after the
interests OF his employers he is not IN
mindful of merit in men who are em-
ployed under him: his mills and lumber
yard are patterns of neatness and order

is every place that yon would scarcely
recognize it as saw-mill, only for the
immense stacks of lumber neatly put

mill. which is tidy enough for a lady s

be able to make another call.

New Orleans Damocymt,

Mr.. john T. Lindsey, tux COL

count of his parish. The parish
does not owe a doIlur; it pays all
it's bills in cash, and there is not II
single delinquent Old the tax roll.
There are about 300 voters In this
parish, while lands within its bout
taries, extremely productive, may
be purchased ut n very low pr1ce.
These lands WELD II bale and more
of cotton or from twenty five to
thirty bushels Of corn to the acre.
The orange Aouiishes in great lux
uriance in Cameron parish, and
many Young trees are coming on,
promising in short time Il mag
uificent orange crop:
Stock may be raised in great
numbers, at little cost and with
very moderate attention. The
farmers raise their own hogs, and
the mutton of Cameron, we are
told, has delicate and delicious
flavor. Bordering the gulf, fish
and oysters are to he had in abund-
ance. The oulv obstacle to tie
rapid settlement of this beautiful
and productive parish is its isola-
ted situation. Mr. Lindsey, who
lives near Leesburg, the parish
seat, to reach this city, bad to take
u sailboat 90 johnson Bayou,
travel in Tint to Sabine LIKE,
cross 'helake and go up the S"biue
river to the townof Orange. There
he took the train to Houston (;
from Houston he went to Calves

city. 1t required five days to make
the trip, willie with Il railroad from
here to Orange, where the Hous-
tom road terminates, the Tip could
be made IN twenty hours. All the
trade of Cameron, and nearly all
the lumber of southwestern Louis
inEa, goes to Galveston, owing to
The difficulty Of reaching New Or

Mr.. Lindsey certainly gives us
