the probabilities of her getting q

Last Sunday was a beautiful
and sprmg-like day. The sun
shone brilliantly. The ladies
(God bless them), were promena-
ding in all their gaiety. and in
dresses that almost rivaled the
tints Of the rainbow. It was a
pleasing sight to see them out
again after being confined to the
dull routine of home life during
our long, cold and disagreeable
winter. 1t is a well-known fact
that the ladies Of Vermilion CAN
not be beat for their loveliness as
we'll as for their lively disposition.
The people Of our more North
ern cline may boast Of the beauty
OF their young ladies, with their
pa%nniers, their, chignons, and their
pu|l'em-backs); but let but once
see the LADIES Of our parish, and
they will form a different opinion.
Their forms are slight, but their
muscles are sufficiently strong to
curb the fiery steed on which they
take their morning exercise.

THAT %FALEDICTORY.

In reading over the columns o
THE Washington Enterprise Of Feb
Is, 1878, a paper published in the
parish Of St. Landry, we saw and
read an article with the above
heading, and signed FRANK Con.
NELLEY. After reading it over
carefully, it struck US that we saw
that article, or a portion of it. in
another paper. After putting on
our thinking cap, we were under
the impression that the aforesaid
Valedictory could be found in the
Vermilion Banner, a paper lately
published in this place, and edited
by our townsman W. ~. Ed
wards, esq. The article alluded
to appeared in the banner of the
18th Aug, 1877. 1t is slightly
altered,--some words substituted
for others !; but as a general thing
the same article.
Now, friend Connolly, we hard
" think it fair that you should
copy from our parish paper with
out giving due credit for so doing.
If you had not brains enough to
write your own valedictory, why
the name of heaven, did you
not employ the devil to write it
Tor you.
We pity you, indeed, and hope.
f you ever have another valedic-
DRY to write, that it will enc
rate from your own brains, weak
.hough they may be. .1''. '"
