TIE RAILWAY BRANCH TO NEW
81 ORLEANS.

We have been informed that the
surveyors will be through locating
the line Of the Baton Rouge branch
Of the N, @. Pacific Railroad 10 few
days. The line, it seems, will run Oh
the west edge of Laws st. Clair plan
ton, and the junction will probably
be located on the r. w. Bird place,
near Bruly Landing. The branch
will be about six and a half miles
long and win run through elevated
and level ground. The chances, aIe
that within three months, Baton
Rouge will be in rail communication
with New Orleans. The entire dis
tanceto the Crescent City will be but
ninety -one miles. A large force is
now at work grading the Pacific Road
between Bayou Goula and Plaque
mine.

Monroe Bulletin: Mr.. u. L&Baum
has raised and slaughtered six hum
drcd head Of hogs netting more than
10000 pounds of meat, for which he
realized five and six cents Il pound,
amounting to more than l,5GG. The
labor OF that crop was attention
enough to keep the stock gentle. Mr..
LaBaum is independcnt--out of debt
and has money in his pocket. 1t is q
practical Fefutation of the idea that
obtains III the cotton belt that "you
can't raise hogs and cotton together.
and it would not pay 10 raise them il
You could" Buy all and spend all,

cernment in utilizing the resources

bury, in the "Vila Store" OF the lat
ter, on Bayou LettsWorth, in this

Capt. Kingsbury appeared before

without examination, placed under
q $4,000 bond to appear at the next
term of the District Court IN April,
and await the action of the Grand
Jury. Not having had an epportu-
nitv of conversing with any oflthe
eve witnesses to the affair, we refrain
from giving statement or making
any comment; an additional reason
for our not doing so, is, that Capt.
Kingsbury was not represented by
council when he appeared before the
District Judge, and we do not wish to
say anything which might prejudice
his case. Later, however, when we
will be in possession of all the facts,
we NAV give them to the public.
