Marksvilc Review: Sheriff Gauthiel
returned from Baton Rouge last MOnlay
having delivered the convicts to the au
thoritics in charge of tho State penitcn
tiary. He seems to he particularly pleas
ed with the attention shown him by TIL,
Sheriff Of East Baton Rouge, J. w
Bates, Esq. Sheriff Bates took him in 4
buggy and showed him everything Of in
tcrcst in and about the city of Baton
Rouge. Ii Sheriff Batos should ever
come to MarksvilIe, our Sheriff will en-
dcavor to rcciprocatc his gcntlcmanl,
and highly appreciated attention.
II the Advocate, in speaking of its
age, had used the term meekly Advocat,
instead of 'tl,c Advocate" there wonld

nmns first, made it apply directly tt
the daily. Therefore, the naturalncss o
our position. BE more careful with y0ul

Our little friend Alcx. X. Robertson
son Of Judge Robertson, of West Bato
Rouge, walked into or Office yesterday
bringing with I'm species of the grca
American bald eagle, which he had kill
cd. This bird Of freedom, though com
parativc|y young, measured five foe
from tip to tip aud possessed talons fou
inches in width. He shot it on the wing
while hunting on the Limerick planta
ton, in West Baton Rouge, about mil
or two below the ferry landing, oppc
site this city. But for the early inter
position Of tho fatal aim of our youn
nimrod friend, this bird would, in tim,
probably have destroyed numbers {
pigs and lambs, but as he fell to riso n
more, SO Garfield will fall short of 81,
Presidency and the government pig
and lambs, which ran away when h
made his De Golycr and Mobilier grabs.
