Morgan City Review: Among those
who have ordered Portuguese or Span
ish laborers from Europe for farm work,
we note the following St. May parish

Natchitoches Register: On Tuesday
! night the residence of Mr.. Frank McDan-
} iel was entered by burglars, who, after
searching the rooms, took about one
hundred and twenty dollars out Of his
pocket. They effected an entrance
through window, and seemed to have
been very deliberate III their operations.
, His pockctbooll also contained several
/ notes and valuable papers, which, how
, ever, will be of no value to the cnlprlts.
, His pistol and watch was on the mantle
| piece, but the thieves seemed to bc only
f in search of cash, and did not disturb
f anything else. There is 10 clue to the
Q guilty parties, but we hope they may be
| discovered and punished. We would
p advise our citizens to be on the look -Out,
as they will probably be at it again, and
s salute them with powder and lead,
' while they are at their work. ~
