A sGooD SHowING.-The New
Orleans Country Visitor says: A
few days ago we met U. A. Gull
beau, ESQ.,, sheriff Of st. Martin,
who showed us his receipts for
public monies collected and turned
over by him for 1880. Out Of about
S9000to be collected as per assess
ment, he had paid i'll over $1,000,
leaving a balance of less than $500
still due for that year. Ont of a
poll tax of $4,000, he had collected
over Sl400. We compliment the
parish for having such an efficient
and reliable officer, as we believe
he has.done better than any of his
predecessors.

Five Negro Prisoners sHhuns
From tine Courthouse
Windows.

a telegram to Cincinnati from
Winchester, Tenn, of the 10Th inst.
represents that troops were present
for the protection of the alleged
iLaprade murderers on trial there,
and that they gave q parade in the
courthouse yesterday before dark;
that after dark q furious thunder
storm, came on and the fear of the
prisoners being lynched then van
ished. "A night session was held
to finish the trial. Judge Stark
gave his charge to the jury, after
which the sheriff proceeded with
the prisoners Higgins, Lock Mallo-
ry, Lon Thweat, Robert Thweat,
and James Elder to Jail. A mob of
about two hundred pressed upon
the sheriff, took the prisoners,
closed the courthouse and court
house grounds, stationed a strong
picket guard arOund them, and
hung the five negro prisoners from
the second-story windows of the
courthouse. The onset of the mob
was sudden and boisterous, accom-
panied by the firing Of pistols and
guns into the air so as to terrify
spectators i'll the courtroom, who
jumped and 7hastened from the
scene. Murphy and Duffy, the two
charged with completely in the
murder, having been released on
Thursday, had returned to their old
stamping ground, which is Thought
to have precipitated the action of
the mob. The mob are after them,
and it ia believed they will be
lynched. The mob number two
hundred well armed men who came
in from four directions on horse
back, and dispersed in the same
manner. They did not shoot or
mutiiate the prisoners, but left them
hanging when assured that they
were dead. The dispatches are
silent as to what the State militia
were doing all tl6s,time.

New FARMERs AND New STocK.--
MIR Webstera of Kentucky, spent a few
days in our town last week, while on
his way to Poupeville, in st. Landry
parish, where he owns a farm. Mr..
Webster had with him several bulls of
the Durham breed, the largest Of which,
only three years old, weighed sO4O
pounds. The size aud beauty of the
animals attracted quite a number of
admirers. Mr.. Webster's visit mar
have the good effect of convincing our
stock raisers that the quality, and not
the quantity, Of cattle raised, consti-
tutes their real value, and it may suc.
gcst to them the idea of doing away
with thai ,diminutive race Of cattle
which new Craze on our prairies, and
Of stocking their farms with noble All
mails Of the Durham breed. Mr.. Wel'-
ater intends to devote his time and
neanst to stock raising, and has fixed
on Poppeville as tic most convenient
spet for that purpose, and we wish him
success in his undertaking. 1t is just
such men as Mr.. Webster that we lack
in our parish.--St. Martinsville OBJ
