Gaming.
lCommunicated.)

The case of Rex vs.. Hales and W;seman charg-
ed with gaming, and tried before the Police
Magistrate on Thursday last, shows the necessity
Of amending at least one of the laws in cur stat
utes. Chapter 80 of the Penal Code has particu-
lar reference to gaming. Section 1 reads Who
ever by playing at cards or any other game, wins
or loses any sum of money or things of value 10
ouiItv of gaming Section 5 reads IS Whoever
shall by playing at cards or any other game, or
nv netting on the sides or hands of such as do
piay, loses any sum of money or thing OF value,
and shall pay or deliver the same or any part
thereof, may sue for and recover the money or
value of the thing 30 lost and paid or delivered
from the winner thereof"
Under the last named section, q civil action
was brought in the Civil Summary Court on
Tuesday last for the recover of $50 lost and paid
by the plaintiff to the defendant on a bet on a
recent horse race. Judgment was given for the
amount claimed; and so all monies lost on any
game or horse race can be recovered by suelng
for them in a similar way. But the question arises,
is il honorable to have recourse to law to recover
that which was staksd on q game oil chance or
skill ? Or is it q good law which supports q dis
honorable action? Again, ought persons who
own and run their horses for stakes, or who oet,
or buy or sell pools, to be liable to q criminal prose
| cution? The magistrate found both parties charg.
ed. guilty., and as the law requires imprisonment
az well as a fine for the offence of gaming, His
| IO0OIE GulGuCCu DOlb
imnrIsoument in addition to q fine of S25 each.
In passing sentence, he admitted that the law
was defective, inasmuch as horse-racing has been
Iegalised in England, men of high position being
engaged in it, and he considered II a manly ana
gentiemanly sport when properly conducted
But as the law stands at present here, it becomes
a crime when wagers are laid on either side: II
NAV be true that a nation cannot be made virtu'
GUS by Act of Parliament, yet there is no douoi
that wise legislation diminishes many KINDS Oh
crime. That the existing statute on gamlug
which is held by the Police Magistrate to include
horse-racing, is altogether too stringent there Ii
no question. What is wanted is a law to legaiis'
horse-racing and also a law to suppress sioindfinq
but not a measure that can in any way %interferI
with the liberties of a peaceable citizen. A
Gaming and Lotteries Bill has just been passe'
in New Zealand by which all sweeps and lotterie
are suppressed. and a similar measure mere, :
with beneficial results, Judging from the expert
ence of the past few months.

The survey by Engineer Dickerson
from Musson to the mouth of the Cour-
tableau, on the Atchafalaya river, has
been finished and the result is a COM
plete refutation of the assertions in re-
gard to the topography of the country,
so literally made by outside parties.
The distance is twelve miles, of which
six miles is solid cane brake and the re-
mainder open country. The average
embankment required is five feet, and
there is but $3.50 feet of openings re-
quired for bayous, sloughs, and swamp
channels. The soil is red clay, slightly
mixed with alluvion, alternating with
stretches of land of which sand forms a
preponderating component. Timber OF
all kinds generally found growing in
alluvial soil, is in abundance. The sur
vey shows that the line of the Mid

THE WEATHER.-The weather this
week has been rainy and disagreeable,
with swift changes Of temperature
from warm to cold. In consequence,
we hear of good deal Of fever, not
dangerous, but of persistent type.
We don't remember a season not cpl
demic, where there has been as much
light sickness, though very few cases
have had fatal termination. As for
the weather it disappoints all prognos-
tics. The prophets, Vennor at the
head, have gone all wrong in their FORE
cast Of October weather, and they've
probably missed the November as well.
We've had atmospheric disturbances Of
various kinds not down in the book, and
the conjunction of planets early in the
season, and the comets later, have
played the mischief with the prognos-
tics Of our wise men.

ALMOST A FIRE.-AbOut Z o'clock
Thursday morning, happening in at the
huge establishment of c. L. Walmsley
e. Son, on Washington street, opposite
this Office, we noticed a strange odOr
about the grocery department as of
burnt Oil lamp wick. Smoke was soon
discovered issuing through the floor at
the east end OF the room, next to the
wall, and close to the line Of the oil
barrels and cans, and also through the
iuterstices of the ventilator on the out
side Of the wall. There was some rapid
scurrying around, for little while,
among the employees, and water was
soon plentifully emptied into the place
through the grating and the floor inside.
1t was then discovered that a mass of
sawdust, thoroughly saturated with
various oils, had taken fire. The saw
dust had undoubtedly fallen into the
grating opening inside, from the floor.
But how it caught fire is a mystery
which will probably never be ascertain
ed. In that part Of the store is kept
linseed, lard, coal, and other oils, be-
sides mOlasses and whiskey. Perhaps
these lnfamable materials, solicited in
the sawdust, may have ignited by self
combustion, under the combination of
the chemical properties. Who can says
The strange OdOr was noticed by every
one in the store long before the cause
was ascertained. The escape from a
serious conffagration is q very fOrtu-
nate one, indeed. No alarm was given
outside Of the building and the fire was
extinguished before the citizens became
aware Of its Observation-Disclosures
VindicatOr.

The cotton seed Oil mill begun here
during the early part Of the year, has
failed, but in its stead has started up a
rice milan improvement equally as
much needed and if not more anxiously
desired by the farmers. The machin-
cry is here, the building is being rapidly
completed, and it is to be hoped that
ere long some of the profits and benefits
of such enterprises, heretofore gobbled
up by the capitalists of cities, will flow
into the pockets of our people.
