The Governor appointed Garrett Causey,
Esq, justice of the peace for the second ward,
parish Of Pointe Conpea, and John M. Tay-
Tor, director OF the Louisiana University.
In the hurried report Of the recent fall of
hail, 1t WAS stated that the skyIight Of Mr..

Is excellent and the muscular movement is
remarkably depicted. 1t is spirited and
animated scene, and the efforts Of the artist
have been rewarded by neat success.

in, and an ice cream made to be frozen by
