there was q meeting Of the faithful, for
the purpose of setting the triggers for

Sheriff Louis Kirkland, of West Baton

ailing some time since. He is a whole
soulcd gentleman, and no parish can
boast of n more straightforward, cour-
agcous officer than Louis Kirkland.
Older A. DUpLASTIEE.-Dcat with
its merclless scythe seemed determined
last week, to bring sorrow to the homes
OF our oldest families. Among the vic
TINS selected was the eldest sou of the
venerable Alfred Duplanticr, Esq, one
of the landmarks of thisparish. In the
prime of his manhood the subject of this |
notice was taken away; and the home
circle rendered desolatc. We extend our
deep sympathy TO the bcreavcd parents, |
widow and friends of the deceased.
Mr.. Fimerty, the gifted correspond
cnt of the Chicago Times, was in our

for his paper. Mr. f., as his name in
dictates, is an lrishman by birth. He is
a highly cultured gentleman and a SPLEEN !
did looking specimen of his race. A
Union soldier during the late war, he !
cntertains none of those pIeiudices ,
against the South which characterize !
those patriots who snuff the battle from
aiar. We were happy to welcome him
to the Capital City, whose places of in
terest he was pleased to visit.
We were pleased to welcome our young
friend, Mr. Simon Block, to our sanetum
on Monday morning. He looks in fine
health and is in the best of spirits; none
the worse for having established his
residence in Port Gibson, Miss, which |
he represents as handsome, thriving
place, filled with good people. Mr.. I
Block is one of Baton Rouge's tavoritc |
sons, and is bound to BE- appreciated
he goes. He is here for few
days, on a visit to his parents and
friends.
