IA Our town and parish was

Bas@ Our town and parish was
never in a more tlourishing and
prosperous condition than at pres
ent, and it would be hard to find
a parish in the State that could
compare with it in good behavior
and quietness. Our colored peo-
pie arc quiet and steady, and are
busy with the coming crop, which
promises to exceed that of many
years. The laws are upheld and
respected by all, and they are at
the same time respected by the
laws. In fac. a pride is taken
by our citizens in the orderly con.
duct of the parish, all Of which
is good guaranty Of its continu-
ence."

the young men, Thomas Shields, c.
Spencer, and A. p. Buist, the latter
being in the lightning rod business,
the former chrome agents, or some
thing of that kind. Mr. Sehonberg
followed them to point thirty three
miles below New Orleans and made
the arrest as the party were returning
to the city from Point-ala- Hache.
The horse had been driven nearly to
death, and the occupants of the
buggy are said to have been in a
state of abject intoxication. They
insist that it was far from their inten-
ton to steal the horse aud buggy,
end that they sent word to Mr..
Schonberg of their intention to pro-
long their trip to a point below the
city. The merits of the case will be
reached at the preliminary examina-
ton, and We defer further comments
until that time.

Constable Jim MeCray and big John
Moore had a little scrimmage in a
saloon the other evening, during the
progress of which Moore drew pop
and let her go one time about forty
feet, more or less, to the left of his
antagonist. Il is said that the weapon
was discharged accidentally, and that
the report scared John more than it
did any one else. He was arrested
and sent to Jail on the charge of car
rying concealed weapons, but was
released soon after upon furnishing an
appearance bond of S25.
