DROWNED.
St. Tammany Farmer

Last Tuesday morning, as a colored
woman by the Josephine Francois was
crossing the river to the Old Landing,
from MIR. LeBlanc'S place, III small
fiat with her two children, she was sud-
denly seized with Il ii; and fell on the
side of the boat, turning it over. A col
ored man named Ransom happened to
see the accident and Immediately went
to their assistance. With considerable
difficulty he succeeded in rescuing the
woman, who had fallen under the boat.
The two children, boy and girl, aged
respectively 9and II years, were drown
ed. The wOman's husband was near at
hand, but not knowing how to swim,
he was unable to help them. Ransom
was barely able to reach the shore with
his burden, the woman being very large
and heavy. If she had recovered from
her fit while in the water they would
probably both have been drowned. AS
it was. she made no effort to save her
self, being entirely insensible. Under
the circumstances, Ransom acted nobly.
The bodies of the children were recov.
cred the same day.

HOSPITALITY OF OUR HILL CITY-ITs SIT
UATION, BEAUTY AND PUBLIC
BUILDINGS,
Natchitoches Vindlcator.


The beauty of Baton Bouge, its COM
manding situation and clearly APP
pearance, has struck the passing traveller
oven, yet to know of it, and its kind and
hospitable people, one needs to sojourn
for few days among them, as was our
pleasure last week during the Press
Convention.
We arrived from New Orleans OH that
palatial steamer, the J. w. Cannon, on
Sunday evening, and were assigned by
that genial gentleman and friend, Gen
LEON JASTREMSKI, of the CAPIT0LIAN,
to the most delightful quarters and
charming restaurant it has even been
sur good fortune to take our ease in.
Long shall we remember the kingly host
who caters for the wants Of those kind
people, and who does it so well. Mons
A. Grouchy, may you live always and
feed as you donow. On the same evening
we visited the Capitol building, now in
course of repairs, and bear wiling testi-
mOny to the work going on. Mr. Freret,
the Architect, and Mr.. Burke, the Con-
tractor, are doing all within their power
to push on the repairs, and in manner
which will, we feel sure, please the
people of the State. The building will
be fully repaired within year, and the
next Session of the Legislature will be
held within its classic walls.
Mr. A. Jackson, one of Baton Rouge's
mostenterprising merchants, entertained
US at his residence during the evening,
and to him, as well as Mr.. Weeks, Gen.
Heron, Gen. Jastremski, Mr.. Bird, Mr..
Sambola Jones, and host of others,
whose names we cannot now recall, we
owe many thanks for kind courtesies.
The Press Convention was in session
during Monday and Tuesday, and full
account Of the proceeded we regret not
having space for in this issue. After the
adjournment of the Convention, the
members, by invitation, visited the
Public Buildings and adjourned to din
ncr and the ball.

On being taken to the surface one OF
the bodies was Unidentified as that of

At S o'clock this morning the miners
began assembling in the waiting rooms

them had been down in the mine the
day before. One told how, in trying to
get to the shaft, he stumbled across the
PROSTATE form Of an old man. He stop
ped, and calling to some others running
by to his assistance, got the old man into
the cage to the surface, and them looked
about for the other nnfOrtunates. He
found little boy apparently dead, but
examination showed that he was only
insenslble, and he got the little fellow
and the old man to the surface to find
that he had rescued his own son and
poor father. The speaker went on to
say, in lower voice: my brother

lady will break her heart"

The pit is now flooded, and all danger
is considered over, but no more bodies
