On Tuesday evening at six
O'clock the National Board of
Health steamer, H. II. Benner,

-Apropos of the subject OF
improvements, which seems to
have acquired such vigor i'll
our two towns recently, is the
great step in that direction be-
ing taken by NIcssrs. J. Frey
han & Co. These gentlemen
have commenced the erection
Of q mammoth store, on the cor
ncr opposite their present es-
tablishment at the forks of the
road in st. Francisyille. The
building will cover a space OF
12Ox7j feet, a size absolutely
demanded by the very large
and constantly increasing bust
ness of this cnterprising firm.
The new store willadjoin Il new
building already standing, the
dimensions Of which are l00N4O
feet, and the building on the
opposite side of the street, at
present occupied by the firm,
will necessarily be retained in
order to accommodate the I'M
mcnse stock of general mcrcl-
andise, including furniture and
wheeled vehicles, which will be
required to meet the demands
oftheir fall and winter trade.
The store will be completed and
ready for occupation by the LIST
of September. Messrs. Frcyhan

which has marked their business
career, through the very means
by which they attaincdit-strict
and pl,nctual attention to bust
ness and q commendable liber-
atty in providing for the prose
cution thereof. No town in the

APPALLING TRAGEDY.

On Sunday evening, 18th in
slant, at an old school house
situated in q beautiful grove on
the Jackson road, about -
miles above the city of Baton
Rouge and in the parish of East
Baton Rouge, was enacted one
of the most terrible, and in its
results hcartrending tragedies,
that it has ever been our duty to
chronicle.
1t seems that at the time and
place above mentioned, Mr..
Hypolite Barnes and his son
Maurice appeared, armed with
a shotgun and pistol, awaiting,
as was at the time supposed,
the arrival Of MI. Chas. Barnes,
Il nephew of Hypolite Barnes,
with whom it was known the
Uncle and Cousin had previous
ly had serious alteration.
Particularly unfortunate was it
that Mr.. Chas. Barnes made
his appearance just at the mo-
ment that the Sunday school
was dismissed and the house
and grounds crowded with Ia
dies and children. Immediate-
ly upon the rival of Charles
Barnes, Mr.. Townsend, in
charge of the Sunday school
classes, 1--WE have not learned
whether Mr.. Townsend was a
clergyman or not advanced to
meet Mr.. Chas. Barnes and eN-
Dostulatetl with him not to aa-
vance. At this unfortunate mo-
ment Maurice Barnes discharG-
ed Il barrel Of his gun at Chas.,
but the load Of buckshOt enter
ed the body of Mr.. Townsend,
from the effects of which he
died the next morning at 4
o'clock. Chas. Barnes then re-
treated, firing as he did so at
Hypolite and Maurice Barnes
from q six shooter. Two OF his
shots took effect on Mr.. HypO-
lite Barnes, one in each arm
one in the leg of Mr.. Woods, a
bystander, and the fourth in the
groin Of Mrs. Hefier, the daugh
ter Of Hypolite Barnes, who was
rushing up to her father as it,
in the excitement of the mo-
ncnt, to command a cessation
OF hostilitiGs. III the meantime,
Fvpolite Barnes had delivered
q shot which took fatal effect i'll
the back Of Chas. Barnes, from
which he died in about twenty
minutes. The fearful result OF
this sanguinary rencounter is,
two men killed, two men and
one lady seriously if not dan
gerously wounded.
Maurice Barnes was speedily
arrested ANA Hypolite Barnes
put under Official surveillance,
his wounds precluding the pos
sibillity Of his immediate re-
noval to prison.
The trouble, we are informed,
GREW out of Il family affair lii

generations. Mr.. Nesom takes
the orders and sends them to
the Company, where the work
is done and the picture hand
somely framed. The work is
delivered in person free Of cost
from the original price and

liver the same. Mr.. n. asks no
payment for his orders until the
picture is delivered. The pic
lures are furnished either in
Cryon, water colors, India ink,
or oil as the party sendiug may
wish. We are personally ac-
quainted with MI. n. and take
pleasure in endorsing his relia-
bility. This is Il rare opportu-
nifty for our friends to secure a
good picture at nominal cost.

ing the services OF an energetic
agent to canvass this parish.
He can be found during the
coming week at the HVhiteman
House, Bayou Sara.

Mrs. Higginbottom. rs a first step, vis-

under the protection of a disguise and q
detective officer. When she had learned
what We're the attractions which most
powerfully appealed to Mr.. Higginbo,-
toms mind. she proceeded to reproduce
them rs far rs practicable in her house.
She had the parlor carpet taken up and
the bare floor nicely sprinkled with beer
and stumps of cigars. She removed the
pictures from the walls. and hung in their
places cheap and gaudy chromos repre-
senting impossible Young women in unde-
sirable costumes. Two dirty wooden ia
oles and a supply of wooden chairs from
the kitchen completed the furniture of the
loom. and it began TO assume a really at
tractive appearance. Before the hour of
her husbands return from his business.
Mrs Higginbottom hired man to play
on an accordion and another to torture
violin, besides three professional drunk
ards of great indecency of appearance
and conduct. and n notorious burglar kind
ly furnished for the occasion by the police
captain of the precinct There were in
the kitchen two Irish girls who were de-
cidedlv ugly. but who were clean, decent
ed in the art of serving beer and spirits,
and dressed them in costume that were ex-
tremely vulgar, though they could not he

for an hour or two To see friend His
wife. with sweet smile. told him that he
need not 90 out. for she had finally dis
covered how TO make home attractive 10
him. So saying, she showed him into the
parlor and led him To II seat at one of the
dirty tables. The fiddler and the accor-
deon player Immediately struck up; the
drnnkards, at sign from Mrs. Higgin-
bottom, began TO swear and wrangle, and
the burglar sided up to Mr. lIigginbottom
and invited him to take drink The two
Irish girls brought beer and spilled il ON
Mr.. Higgfnbottom's table; thew called
him Dear" and asked him to ..open a
bottle of wine. and Mrs Higginbottom,
apologizing for the fact that they were
nndeniably decent girls. assured her hus-
band that nevertheless she was confident
thht she had finally learned now to make
homc attractive; that she hoped to spend
many jolly evenings with him, and would
like a hot whskey without any further de-
lay.
Mr.. lliggnbottom was completely
dazed. but in few moments he recovered
his reason. He ordered the girls to go
into the kitchen and stay there, and he
pitched the drunkards out of the front
door and ordered the physicians and the
burglar to follow them. Then he informed
his wife that he had been an idiot of the
very largest size, and that if she would
restore the parlor to its former condition
he would stay at home and make no fur
thor complaint of its want of attractive
ness.

Packing Apples.

There are fewer greater treats during
the winter and early spring seasons, says
the London Magazine of Pharmacy. than
IL ; magnificent apples which are imported
from America TO find their places on the
dessert table in England Considerable
numbers arrive here IN bruised condition
from the effects of careless packing; u GER
tain amount of fermentation is set up, and
unless they are consumed without DELAY,
they are lost TO the dessert table This is
more frequently the case where whole bar
rnls of the sC-callcd "Newtown pippins''
have been exported by private individuals
To their friends in England. than when
they are packed by the regular tr;idesmen.
There is no reason why this splendid fruit
should II 1 be imported here almost as
fresh and blooming rs when it is gathered
4 ON the trees. A common but soft kind
di tissue paper should envelop each apple
before it is placed in the cask and this It's
sue paper should have been soaked in a
solution of salicylic acid and dried before
it is used. The best preparation of salicv-
lie acid for this purpose is the alcoholic
solution made with the strongest spirit
and then diluted with as much water as it
will bear without precipitating the acid so
"a to make the solution 90 as far as posi-
tle. Each apple should be enveloped in
at least three or four folds of the salicy-
lated paper, and every possible preeaution
should be taken to prevent brusng when
loading into the casks or cases. Well
packed apples should MT move at all dur
ing the voyage, and the shaking Of rail-
way train should have little effect upon
them Nevertheless certain amount Of
confusion is inevitable. and to avoid the
ulterior results Of this the salicylated pap
er is indispensable. As to the cost, it will
be mere triie when we consider the re-
suit gained and the condition of the fruit
when it enters the London market. Be-
sides it is very probable that the salicylic
acid paper used for packing apples in
America might be used over again. or ap-
piled IN England to some similar antisptic
purpose. any allowances made for it accord
