VANTAGES,
ETC.

st. ,Tammany parish is located
TWENTY-FIVE miles north of New Or
leans. CovingtoL, the county site,
is ten miles further north, in the
interior, and is delightfully."- located
on the Bogue Falia.
IMMIGRANTS, s..
with small amount of capital and
fair supply of industry and perse-
verance. cannot possibly do better
than locate in our parish. The eli
mate is as fine as any in the world.
The winters are generally mild, and
snow rarely falls. Spring opens
early in February, with blossoms
on the peach and ounce trees, and
vegetation comes rapidly forward.
The heat of summer is moderate,
and the unfailing breezes of the
evening refresh man and beast after
the labors of the day.
THE SOIL
is very productive, and admirably
adapted for raising sugar cane, cot
ton, oats, corn. rice, peanuts, ETC.
The vine is indigenous, and yearly
bears large harvests of delicious
fruit. Oranges. pears, peach, plums,
ounces, figs and pecsns thrive well.
CATTLE AND SHEEP
Craze upon our pine lands through
out tie year, and seldom are fed in
winter, thus making st. Tammany
the slock-growers' home. Farming
and stock lands can be purchased at
rates varying flom 81 to So per
acre, and Government lands to
actual settlers
WATER POWER.
There is an abundance, of water
power, already improved, inyitih g
the attention of manufacturers. We
have no doubt 2 small factory, such
as already abound in Alabama and
Georgia, for the purpose of con-
verting our cotton crop into yarn,
would prove paying investment.
FIRECLAY
is found in abundance. rs well as
CLAWS suitable for pottery ware of
the very finest texture, purely white,
and free from sand or grit. Per-
sons having a practical knowledge
Of such business would soon realize
= fortune in manufacturing and
shipping such wares to the New
Orleans market.
OF GLASS.
Sand suitable for the manufacture
Of glass is also abundant all along
The banks of the Bogue Falia, above
the town of Coyington. IT has been
practically tested by Pittsburg
and found to con-
tain all the necessary properties to
produce the finest glassware.

Report Of the Fish commissioners

REPORT OF Ln0 FISH commissioners.
From the report of the Fish Commissioners,
Messrs. Stillwell and Smith, it appears that
there was total OF thirty prosecutions for vio-
lations of the fishery laws previous to Novem-
Der L., which number greatly exceeded the
record OF any year since the establishment of
the office of Commissioner of Fisheries in
this State. There are cases now in the hands
of wardens against persons for killing moose,
deer, caribou and woodcock in close-time; for
sharing grouse or partridge" bunting deer
with dogs, and netting ducks.
Five hundred placards, giving close-time,
etc., for fish and game, have been distributed
throughout the State and the Commissioners
expect to be able to issue in pamphlet form
next year complete copy of all our State
laws relating to fisheries and game, revised and
codited. Hardly year has passed without
some change i'll our fishery laws. Special laws
have been enacted from time to time and some
are still in force while others are not. New
laws have been enacted, and old ones remain
in force unless repealed by the vague exprea-
sion, AL laws inconsistent with this act are
hereby repealed. The Commissioners have
employed Skillful lawyer to make revision
and codification of all our laws relating to fish
and game, aud prepare the same for publics-
ton, with notes, references, etc. The work
will cover the period from 1920 to 1880 incu-
sive, and will be an authentic and valuable
publication for the reference of lawyers and
future legislators as well as a work that is
needed for the use of justices, wardens, the
Commissioners and others in the performance
OF duties connected with the Department OF
Fisheries and Game.
The total number of fish eggs to be Matched
IN Maine this winter will be about two mil
lion.
Several hundred salmon, taken at Bucksp0rt
for purposes of propagation, have been labelled
with platinum tags affixed to the dorsal fin. A
record OF each Of these salmon has been kept,
and each tag has reference number.
The Commissioners request that any one Oh
tanning possession or knowledge of any of these
marked salmon at any future time, will send

Yesterday morning there appeared in the
Argus what purported to be the gist of the
last will and testament of the late Hon. John

tanned were entirely Incorrect and, as it is
we'll known that there is natural curiosity on
the part of the public, when a man dies, of

tent of his wealth and what will become of it,

Clifford, the sum of $4,000; also the income
OF the four story Turnverein Block on the cor
ner of Congress and Brown streets; also the

600 are held in tIast for her.

Der we believe-$5OOO

All the rest and residue Of his property, of
every kind and description, is devised and be-
queathed to John Rand, Philip H. Brown and
John Marshall Brown, in trust, to be by thgm
held and managed, in their discretion, and the
net income thereof to bs distributed as it ac-
crues, among the children of the testsstor in
specified proportions, until the death of the
