The case now on trial OF David free

is one of novelty. Tho pl,inun uleges
that on the 9th day Og April, 1873, the
defend'ts shot aud killed his two hounds
then chasing fox about Hackett Knob,
IN Portland district, near the residence OF
w. +. Kelly, Esq, George Sisler ard the
defendants. On the 18th of October SIS,
tho plaintiff brought an action foi tres
pass against tho defendants before John
o. Whetsell, Esq, which the defendants
certified TO the County Court, and at the
September term, 1879, the case came on
for trial in the above Court, resulting in
"a hung jury-9 for tho plaintiff and 3
for the defendpnt. Again at tho Novem-
Der term IL was tried with the same re-
suit, the jury standing 6 to g; and now,
as we write, ii is again on trial.
The County Court has decided that a
dog is property to sufficient extent to
enable party to bring an action for
damages resulting from his injury or de-
struction, The defendants counsel has,
we learn, noted exceptions to the opin-
ions of the Court upon this and other
questions, and should the plaintiff sue
coed at this on any subsequent te1m, tho
case will go To- the Circuit our.

Don't YOU love TO read the maxirns
which some wise man writes for the
newspapers-nse rules which are iir-
tended TO save some human life and
alleviate human suffering! There is
always SO much practical common seaac
in them. Here is batch of thesas
''For dust in t.se eyes a@elS rubbing.
and dash water in them.
} This IS especially usefai when You
are on the cars and there isn't drop
of water in the country nearer than the
engine, or the next lake, torty-tAree
miles ahead OF you.
''Remove cinders vita tire point OF a
pencil.
We never saw that operation tried
hut once, and then it was successful
The man got the cinder out. He also
pntsout his eye.
Remove insects from the ear by
tepid water, and never pat hard ia
strunent into the ear.
Yes, that is pretty advice now, isn't
1t. Suppose an Indian Peace Co'nmls-
sioner GETS an insect in his ear when he
Is ont in Colorado Is that man to
suffer until he can reach the Mississippi
river in order to get enough water to
I'LL his ear:
"For light burns, dip the part in
cold water; il the skin is destroyed,
cover with yHrnish.
A beautiful spectacle man would
present who had gone up in boiler ex-
cursion in a steamboat race, and had
come down scalded just enough to
make two coats of furniture varnlsh q
necesaity according to this admirable
sule.
~Bssore passing through smoke, take
a fun breath and stoop low. )"
Just imagine, now, what circus
smoking car would PRESENT. If every man
who entered it kept that rule pasted in
his hat.
"For fainting, lay the body flat.
Now, that is good rule; there is
some sense in that. Because, il you
are careful to lay your body fat before
you faint, it may save you terrible
thump when you fall. Let me add to
this rule the advice to never FAINT ON
ladder, or in balloon, or on top OF
church steeple, or in front OF runa-
way team. 1t wonldn't be safe.
sSuck poisonous wounds, unless
your mouth be sore; enlarge the wound,
or better, cut the wound out without
delay"
If that isn't a lively piece OF advice
for sane man to give to healthy peo-
ple Listen, here: don't you do any
thing of the kind; and ii you get
scratch on the throat, don't enlarge it
or cut it out; and if YOU get wound
on the back Of the neck, don't You try
to reach it with your mouth. Some
body will try that some day and there
will be broken neck III the family.
.sIf in the water, float ON the back,
with the mouth and nose projecting.
Now, that is the best rule Of the lot.
That is the cap-sheaf. You cut that
out and paste it on your cuf, where
you can always see it. Just follow that
rule and you will never drown. No
matter if you stay in the water twenty
years, if you will just float on your
back, with your nose and mouth pro-
iecting above the water, you won't
drown.
- We don't know what wise man wrote
these rules, but this last one is worth
all the rest.

LEEsBuRe, La, Sept. |, 1880

LEEsBuRG, La, Sept. /, 1880.
EDITOR EcHo-One of Grand Che
niere's oldest and most honored citi-
zens, Hon. NJ. NJ. Mccall, died on last
Thursday, August Goth. He had been
sick for good long while with paraly-
| sis, when death came to his relief, and
we have every reason to believe he was
borne to those realms of eternal bliss,
"where infinite day excludes the night"
His wife and children have the SYM
pathy Of the community at large, in
this their hour of sore affection. Sew
eral ladies from Lake Charles are visit
ing our town. They are stopping at
Capt. Gonzales, our energetic and ac-
commodating hotel keeper and mer-
chant. The ladies from the Lake, and
others, enjoyed a nice trip to the beach
on the Ramos, the 3lst ult. Although
we did not have the pleasure of joining
the party, we know they had fine
time. for no one can make a party Of
the kind enjoy themselves better than
Capt Woodroe when pleasure is his
object. Judge Reads family left for
Lake Charles on the goth nlt. They
expect to spend the winter at the Lake.
DR.. Griffith, from Texas, was in town
few days since on business. Mr.,
Campbell, of Orange, Texas, paid our
parish visit on the goth ult., on a
prospecting tour. We think he must
have been favorably impressed with the
orange prospects of our parish, as that
was the enterprise he wished to engage
in; for no parish can excel Cameron in
her orange prospects. Now, that the
L. Az. r. r., has been finished, let us
join our sister parish in a grand excur-
sion, and thus show our appreciation
of this important event For it will
be the dawning Of a new era in the his
tory of southwestern Louisiana.
Yours, q. B.

EDITOR EcHo--Last Monday morn
ing Joseph Bourgeois, a citizen Of our
neighborhood, left home and went into
the swamp to get skifT out Of small
lake, telling his wife he would return
at noon, for dinner. Not returning as
promised, the neighbors were informed,
late in the same evening, and they
hunted the swamp all night for him.
Early next morning his hat was found
in the lake, and shortly after noon on
the same day (Aug. 81 his body was
found in the lake in sixteen feet Of
water. His features were badly mu-
tilated, probably by fish. He had evil
IDENTIFY fallen, and struck his head
against the skif, or a snag in the water,
and drowned before legaining con-
seriousness.
He was good citizen, universally
esteemed, and leaves a wife, four chill
dren, and many relatives and friends
to mourn his loss.
Respectfully yours, w.
