PERSONAL We had the pleasure of re-
njying a visit yesterday from Mr.. t. Jay
Lacy. proprietor of the Mount Hope
Nursery, Washington, La. Messrs. Lacy
g. Co.'s catalogue of fruit trees and
\. ornamental plants is very full, and as all
, the stock that they sells has been raised
in our State, plants, of course, obtained
from them are much more likely to afford
satisfaction. We would strongly recon-
mend our readers to write for the Mount
Home Nursery catalogue, which is fur
pished free, before buying elsewhere.
Distressing and Fatal Acoident-On
Sunday morning last, a most heart.rend-
ing accident occurred in the family of q

had lust laid her infant down to sleep,
fnthe bed beside a doubled mattress. Dur.
ing her absence some one opened the
mattress over the sleeping babe, of course
unconscious that the child was beneath
il; the consequence was, that before
Tho dreadful mistake was discovered
the poor babe was.smothered to death:
