CART. WILEY BAEEOw. On last Sat
urday we were plcas scd to receive the
visit Of This COnrtoDns gentleman and
energetic planter. The Captain; as it
IN well known, is one Of tho most hos
pitablc among the kind residents of the
Mariugouin country and the Baton
Rongeaus who lately visited his beanti-
ful home will bear us ont in all we have
said.
Our friend Molirr Langc has the cham
pion stock cow IN The State. On Smn-
day, th" 18th inst, ~hc gave birth to u
calf and six days afterwards she dropped
another, both Of them living and flour
ishing. This is IN unusual freak Of ma
tare, and if she keeps on that way for
three mouths longer, it will require an
unusual stretch of the imagination to
convince outsiders of its truth.
Last week we copied u local item from
ono Of our country exchanges concerning
u peach tree that had thrown back on
it's ordinary species and produced II full
crop of II variety less than the size of
III ordinary plum. On Saturday, Mr.
Joseph largnicr, not Wishing our parish
to bc Out,lolc, sent us ono Of the same
kind that grew in his garden. lyon
examination, we found it very sweet in
taste, while the stone was not larger
than the seed of an n pplc.
We publish in another column a co,,-
tribution to the Southern Watcllluan in
reference to road hands and the road
law. This is a very important matter,
and those interested should give ID Il
careful pcrusal, as it may serve to de-
tcrmlrc some who are as yet undecided.
If it proves II losing game to defy tho
law, it appears to us the height of folly
to attempt such thing. If on the other
hand, the law is unjust and unconstitu-
tlonal, q test ease should he made
through single individual, and not by
wholesale violation and defiance.
READvTLLA SEMINARY. AS will be

cises the greatest care with those in her

daughters will do well to make cnrly
arrangement for the Mlmittancc of their
daughters, Us the number of scholars arc
limited.
