The exciting and stimulating properties of
pure oxygen are well known, and every one
has felt the invigorating influence Of fresh air,
vet no practical application has been made of
these beneficial properties of substance so
cheap and universal When the body is weak,
the brain fatIgued, and the whole system IN a
state Of lassItude Just 20 into the open air,
take few vigorous inspirations and expira-
tions, and the effect will be instantly perceived.
The individual trying the experiment will feel
lnvigorated and stimulated, the blood will
course with freshness the lungs will work
with increased activity, the whole flame will
feel revivified, and natures stinlulant will be
found the best

Why don't some energetic bust

Of Gallipolis sends runnersoyer here,

grown rich at the business. Until

Yesterday at noon our District
Court adjourned, after a session Oh
nine days, until the next regular
term in course. The Grand Jury,
J.B. Pevoto, ESQ.,, foreman, ignored
nine bills of Indictment and found
no true bills, greatly To the salts
faction of many persons, and to the
disappointment of others. There
had been no previous session of a
grand jury in our parish for several
years, and many offences had be
come prescribed. 0urjail door was
open during the entire term. Peo-
pie were in town, during court,
from all parts of the parish, but the
most perfect pence and good order
prevailed.
We have had almost incessant
rains for several days. Crops were
never so promising before, though

The Now Orleans Taxpayers Asso-
citation met in called session last even
ing in Odd Fellows Hall, with Iresi-
dent Riyet in the chair, Secretary Du-
rive at his post, and nearly one hun
bred members present.
Tho minutes of the previous meet
ing were read. The secretary also
read a report from the executive com
mittee, detailing the action with which
the public is familiar. The report
states that the only remedy for the
evils complained of in connection with
the present city government can be
had through an extra session of the
Legislature. The minutes and report
were unanimously adopted.
The president read detailed state
ment of the action of the executive
committee, in the baby bond matter,
and the assessment rolls of 1879 as
viewed by Hon. r. II. Mari, stating
that taxes must be collected in the
year in which the assessment on pro-
perty is made.
The opinion Of Judge Mari and the
expressed determination of the asso-
citation to test the matter through the
courts, were warmly applaudea.
The report was received and
a recess of five minutes was taken
and TWENTY-FIVE new members added
their names to the roll.
A resolution, calling attention of
citizens to the opinion Of Judge Mari,
was adopted, as was also a resolution
calling on citizens to sign the petition
for an extra session of the Legislature,
and condemning as an outrage the APP
oointment Of municipal officers, should
juch action be taken by the governor.
