UsHeEoEo WARNINGS

In this county people, take no heed
of winnings 4 scourge of soise sort
assails us. A feeble and almost useless
resistance is offered, and many are the
victims. When its force is spent. we
all say We might have expected it. and
that by such aud such 9 previous
course the cslamities Of its visitatiou
might have been averted. There Is one
good connected with the scourge. we
for the moment think, and that Is its
warning. Mistaken idea! The first
thing forgotten j. the warning. or if
not forgotten it passes - UNDECIDED -
the gentle breeze Of snnmer. We
have had q number Of warnings dnring
the past twelvemonth. One was the
big fire of.4sst July. THE warning
therein contained was to increase our
precautions against fire. by the
construction Of fireproof buildings. etc.
What has been done IN ibis direction |,
not the first thing. OF the hundred,
houses erected in the city during the
year rot a. single one is of brick or
stone, and the town is in q more COM
bus.ible condition than ever before.
Another warning given us was in Jan.
uary. by the deep snow, and who, now
that the danger is gone, has needed
il? The barns, sheds and houses gem
orally since built are quite as frail as
the houses endangered or destroyed
under the heavy fall Of snow of last
winter. The tremendous snowfall al.
luded to contained still another waru-
ingsp'sinly sscoguized at che time bat
apparently forgotten since. The melt
ing Of that snow in Jupe. it was quite
wellkAown. would cause . freshet AK
ceedingi anything within the recollec-
ton of the oldest inhsbitant. II is not
improbable that much or al of the
evil effects Of theanticipated food, now
being realized to the cost Of our lower
Sound ncighbors, might have been
sverted by an expenditure of labor and
money quite iusignificant compared
with present actual losses. Other
warnings we have had. rs of diseases,
etc. none Of which have been more
effective in rousing the people TO .
sense of their duties and dangers than
the ones to which We have particularly
alluded. lfpeople are to gain in wis
dom. aud turn that wisdom to future
advantage. they must heed the lessons
and warnings of the past.

TERR1BLE MARINE DrsasrEa.-Th,

TERRIBLE MARINE DrsAsTEa.-The
Galveston News special dispatches of
the Eth inst, from Indianola and
Rockport, Texas, have carried sorrow
into several households in Lake Charles.
Capt John Lanigan, Of the schooner
Welcome, resided here with his family,
consisting Of . beautiful young dangh-
ter of about fourteen years, and a son Of
about twelve years, by previous mar
riage, and his second wife, now nnfor-
tunately widowed a second time within
three years, formerly Mrs. johnson, a
sister of our esteemed townsman Peter
Brothcrson, who has two young chill
dren Of her own by her first marriage.
Capt. John Lanigan was quiet, indus
trions and respected citizen, and an af-
fectionate husband and father, and his
untimely death by shipwreck Is sim
cerely regretted by his many friends
and relatives of his bereaved family.
The Houston Post says Capt. Lani-
gan was at Salnria during the cyclone
of 1875, on the same coast, and rem
dered invaluable service, rescning many
persons from perilons situations at the
risk of his own life. The same paper
says the schooners Laurel, Lily Weeks,
None Such and Welcome were lost in
the late gale off Padre Island. and that
of the entire lists of officers and crews
only four persons are known to have
been saved. The schooner Amedeo,
recently at Lake Charles, was in CON-
pany with the above vessels, and has
not since been heard from, it is feared
she too is lost.
There are q great many families in
and near Lake Charles, whose relatives
are engaged in the lumber schooner
trade between Caleasien aud the Texas
coast, and these sad losses of human
life BY storms on the Gulf Of Mexico
are Of almost annual occurrence.
