Died !:

At Cedar Bluffs, Red River, on Sunday, De-
cenlber 23rd, 1877, KATE ABNEY, only child
OF VIM M. and Sue T. Abney, aged four years s,
one month and twenty nine days
Asweet and gentle life has passed away and
another home is shrouded in gloom. Little
kate-the fathers pride and the mothers joy
is dead But death comes to all. A host of
relatives and friends, endeared by the gentle
and sweet disposition of darling little Kate,
will sincerely sympathize with the bereaved
parents, and kind words will in some measure
assuage their great grief. But better still is
the faith that looks beyond this life, promising
a happy reunion where separations are un-
known, and where
Sickness, sorrow, pain and death
Are felt and feared no more"

DISTRESSING AND FATAL Acct

DISTRESSING AND FATAL ACCT
DENT.-We yesterday learned of
the drowning Of the daughter and
only child, aged 4 years, of Mr.. and
Mrs. W. NJ. Abney, residing in this
parish about 20miles above Shreve-
port, at Cedar Bluffs on Red River,
which occurred on last Sunday eve
ming. 1t seems, from the best infor-
nation we can gather, that the
nurse, a cOlored woman, at the re
quest Of the child, accompanied by
another colored woman and two col
ored men, got into skiff and went
over to the Bossier side in the after
noon to Mr.. lack DOles, and on re-
turning home later In the evening
the skiff ran over a log or stump
which caused it to capsize, throwing
all the occupants into the river, and
only for the timely assistance of
colored man who lived on Mr.. DoleS'
plantation the whole party would
have been drowned. He rescued the
two women and men and made sew
eral unsuccessful efforts to save the
little child. The body had not been
recovered up to yesterday morning,
and it is feared that it has drifted
under the raft, which is formed near
where the fatal accident occurred
and will probably never be found
The little girl was a most interesting
and intelligent child, and the grief
stricken parents have the sympathy
of the entire community in their sad
bereavement Shreveport Times.

The school archives of this parish
are in the hands of Il. G. Myers,
who is under indictment for embez.
zling the school monies, aud if ANY
steps have been taken to make him
surrender them we are not aware OF
it. Myers, of course, has not been
tried. He is in New Orleans and
has forfeited all the bonds under
which he was held. A man can steal
the school funds of parish; sup
press and do away with the books
of the Auditors Office of State;
thwart the expressed will of a people
through the Vaccinations of Re
turning Board and go scot Free
Let him dare, however, to carry an
old pistol or steal pig; then be
goes to the penitentiary or is fined,
quick.
We want no better evidence of
the utter weakness of an admins
tration than this; wherein it ex-
hausts its pnuy efforts in the sup
preston of crime by sending a poor
negro to the penitentiary for steal
ing hog, when the State is Grained
full of public robbers who walk
forth without fear Natchitoches

A Fine Microscope for a few Cents.

A we'll made, genuine Micros-
cope-not a bit of nodded glass
in a paper or metal ring, or
tube-but one with triple Lenses
Diaphragm, stand, etc., is not
only useful in every family, but
is very interesting. Such in
struments have hitherto been
too costly for the general public.
The editors of the American
Agruculturist, in connection
with an Optical Manufacturing
Company, have after many ex-
periments and much invention,
succeeded in producing a ge-
nuine Microscope, with three
fine Lenses, Stand, ETC., which
by use of machinery, and very
large manufacture, is now made
at far less cost than has ever
before been done. Scientific
men and others, say it is decid-
ly superior to anything ever be-
fore been offered so low as $3.50;
but this one is sold for $3.50.
But one is given to every sub
scriber to the American Agricul-
tueist, who simply adds so cents
to the regular subscription price,
that is, the paper is sent one
year, with the $3.50 microscope,
for only $500. If to be deliver
ed free to any part of the coun-
try Is cents extra is to be added.
A full description and all parti-
culars can be had by sending
your address,on a postal card to
Orange Judd Company, New
York, or better still, send them
10 cents (half price, for a post
paid sample copy of the paper,
which will give a full descrip-
ton of the microscope, and also
much valuable reading and en-
cravings, ETC., and be richly
worth far more than it's cost.

raise fowls for market will find
this magazine very useful, as it
is devoted exclusively to the
discussion of matters pertaining
to the breeding and rearing of
poultry and such other matters
as are connected with the pur-
suit. Its appearance is very
attractive, as it is adorned with
numerous fine cuts, and, in addi-

his subscribers at a nominal
price twelve magnificent Chro-

~ At a meeting of the Parish
Executive Committee, held at Ben
ton, Saturday, December Goth, Mr..
John Z. Vance was selected as the
Democratic candidate for the Legis
lature to ill the unexpired term of
Sam Thomas, deceased.
Mr.. Vance is an old citizen of the
parish, and of one of the most re-
spectacle families of Bossier, identi
fled with its interests, and besides,
he is unflinchingly Democratic.
Our people should be wide-awake
to the Importance Of this election
An efficient Democratic member OF
the Legislature from our parish, just
at this moment, when the State is
righting herself from the anarchy
and confusion in which she has been
struggling, is of absolute necessity
A victory now insures complete
success for all time to come.

878.

The year 1877 is numbered with
those of the past eternity. 1t bore
millions of human beings into exis-
tence and carried millions out
through the gate Of death into the
endless future.
We have no desire to recapit-
ulate anything of the past, it is gone
with the failures and successes, and
each of us, if we think at all, know
wherein We have failed to do our
duty. 1t is customary for people,
with the commencement of a new
year, to resolve to do better in the
future; and each succeeding New
Years Day finds US resolving and
re resolving. Ought we not to do
better without resolving9 TITS said
"prOmises are made to be broken,n
and that "hell is paved with good
intentions" Why not
$50 live that when thy summons comes to join
The innumerable caravan that moves
To the pale realms of shade, where each shall
take
His chamber in the silent halls Of death
Thou go not like the quarry slave at night
Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and
By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave
Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch
About him and lies down to pleasant Dreams
We wish our readers a happy new
year, and trust that the present
year has good fortunes in store for
them all. Mans mission in the
world is that of an explorer and
improver; and all experience de-
monstrates that reason, prudence
and energy bring all the happiness
that is consistent with the present
state. There is vast amount of
happiness in the world, and it can
be increased through reason, indus
try and management.

There are a great many people
who are anxious to stand by the
President, and it would give them
some courage if the President should
take notion to stand by himself
