REIOpENs TO-MoRRow--Prof. Lip
pard, the accomplished instructor Of the
art Of dancing, requests us to state that
his school will be re-opened tomorrow
"wednesday at the usual hours. Pupils
viii please take notice.
We are sorry to SEQ that both the car
pointers and the mason's work has been
suspended OH the Capitol, owing to the
delay arising by the failure of the con-
tractor TO supply tho iron frames for tho
windows and the columns designed for
the rotunda. We hope that Mr.. Shsk-
speare will hurry matters up, so that
active work may be resumed soon.
a meeting of the City Council has
been called for tomorrow evening, at
sP. d., to take steps with regard to the
railroad interests Of this city. We hope
to see q full attendance of the members,
in order that the ball, which has begun
to roll, shall be kept rolling until sue
cess IL secured. Energetic and persis-
tent work is what is wanted at this
juncture. Baton Rouge is now on the
tidal wave towards development and
prosperity.
Gov. WILTz-Whatever may DO said
of our Governor, the interest he has
taken in the matter Of afording rail-
way communication with the Capital,
must surely stamp him as o public
spirited Executive, eager to do some
good to the people who have elevated
him to the high'ofiice he now occupies.
We would be ungrateful to him, were
we to ignore the efforts he has made
already, and his proffer to continue
them, as will be seen in our report of
the interview with Col. Wheelock.
THE BEAUTIFUL SNow-On yesterday
morning Baton Rouge looked as though
it had been moved o thousand miles
further north during the night. A sheet
of snow covered the housetops and the
ground, to the delight of tho boys and
many of the grown people, who took
advantage Of the situation to engage in
a general battle-royal. The ladies even
took hand in the fight and mischiev-
ously flung snow-balls at the lords of
creation. By noon, however, the snow
had melted and the sky became, as it is
to-day, bright and serene. H..
During our recent visit to New Or
leans, we had the real happiness of
meeting, in company with F. A. Gallau
CHER, Esq, friend of twenty-five years
ago; Judge A, J. Kearncy, of Cameron
parish, now States Attorney of his dis
trict, whom we knew a. the universally
beloved Clerk Of tho Court Of Vermilion
parish. Though the SHOWS of sixty win
tors have whitened his head, he feels as
young, SO he told us, as when we knew
him what no is to this day, genial.
warm-hesrted, good man, 4 Ia Rip Van
Wrinkle, we heartily say to him: "Here's
a health to You and yours; may you
live long and prosper"
THE PIsTOL.-The unfortunate prac-
tice of carrying weapons had its evil
effects demonstrated on yesterday, when
lad, W. Henry Tomlinson, in mo-
ment of anger, thoughtlessly fred his
pistol at some snowballers, by whom he
was annoyed. The ball fortunately fail
cd to hit anyone. Tomlinson was ar
raigned before the Mayor and sentenced
to pay a fine Of fifty dollars, or in default
OF payment, to twenty days imprison-
ment. This incident should be q warn
ing to parents and the people generally, |
to use their influence in bringing into
disrcpute the dangerous practice, too
common nowadays, of carrying deadly
weapons.
