learned just a few moments before going
topress that Mrs. Lorio, q highly respect
ed lady Of this parish, was accidently
( shot and seriously wounded by, some
one whose name we have failed to learn.
The particulars as far IS we could, as
certain were that some one shooting at
dog in the road opposite the residence

ball, said ball glancing from some OBJ
! struction entered the house and struck
Mrs. Lorio in the head woundng her se-

1 Shreveport Standard: We learn from
acting deputy sheriff, Mr.. Isaac Wolf,
who returned late last evening from %
trip to the northern and western portion
Of the parish, that during tho storm
which prevailed last Thursday, the gin
house Of Mr.. Ben Long, on the Holt
place, near Greenwood, was struck by
lightning, took fire and was totally con-
!, snmed, with six bales Of cotton, which
were in it. A colored man named Jor-
dan Brown and his little son, William
Brown, aged eight years, were in
the gin house ut the time the building
was struck, where they had gone to
shelter themselves from the rain. The
child was instantly killed by the thun
> derbolt and the father was severely
stunned
:, Donaldsonville Chief: On the 9th in
slant, Capt. Doyal, while passing through
the Waterloo plantation, discovered the
skeleton of a man lying in the field.
Upon examination of the skeleton, Mr.
!, VIM. Rogge, lessee Of Waterloo, identi
fed it by the clothing as that of q colored
man who came to his house about two
- months ago, sick and asking charity
After providing for him for some days,
a Mr.. Rogge advised him to make his way
4, to a hospital where he could obtain
" proper care and treatment. The man
q thereupon left, saying he was going to
, a doctor who would cure him, andn
Ing more was seen or heard Of him until
3 the discovery fhisremains above stated.
q DR.. Vandegritt held q view and gave d
# certificate in accordance with the facts
of the case. Nothing is known of the
N name or antecedents of the dead man.
rs Sarah has concluded her engagement
II here. She found New CLEANS sunless and
deluged with unusual rains; she leaves
< it sunny, but with scarce a dream Of
II spring upon its face Ofherself, we may
n say that she is q triumph Of art over ma
1t tire. Upon her form the gods never set
n the seal of beauty. Her limbs are SO ex-
re travagantly long as to mock at all laws
Of physical proportion, while herdresses,
rich in material and structure, hang upon
her skeleton frame like . pursers shirs
= upon handspike. Indeed, she has 10
;. greater advantages in form and physique
y as an artist before the footlights than the
y humpback tyrant had as a lover; but,
10 Notwithstanding her disadvantages,
j. she has achieved marvellous success.
e With mellifuous voice of vast compass
e, and magnetic power, and genius which
|, mocks at all impediments, her stage
Y, deaths are a living triumph which can
le never he forgotten by anyone who wit
u messed them.-City Item.
