LYONS the affable and efficient con-
stable of our town, and all there
went off as merry as a marriage
bell" All, my young friends the
hour is gay, but it is serious, that
of t~houghtless mirth has ceased,
that of life's earnest responsible
ties has begun. May your days
be many and long and full of Joy
and happiness, and each moment
thereof be as bright as the bead
in the glass that we on that day
ouaffed to your health. May the
gav hymencal craft on which you
have this day embarked, sail Ger
a sea of life unruffled of the storms
Of adversely ami softly reach the
haven of endless bliss.

In our last issue, we stated
that the Hon. E.. e.. Mouton was
out Of danger, and would come to
give us a term Of court, on Mon
day last the 18th inst. but Lnfor-
tunately, God, the Almighty Judge
had in his omnipotcnt decree, de-
cided different and had called
towards him, our excellent judge
to grant him. in his merciful jus.
tice, the reward which orr good
friend Il. E. Mouton deserves.
When we received the news of
his death our paper was already
printed, and it was too Ia e for Us
to correct this mistake, which was
due to a letter received by one of
our friends stating the very fact,
we had mentioned about his health,
and also to an order from his
Honor to the Sheriff, to adjourn
court on the 18th inst.

VERMILIoNvTLLE La. April IA. 81.
A meeting of the Bar Associa.
ton of Lafayette Parish was held
this day at the Office of NJ. i.
Girard, Esq, to consider the
event of the death of Hon. Ed. f.
Mouton, late Judge of the 25th
Judicial District.
On calling the meeting to order
the President stated its object, and
on motion to that effect, the fol.
lowing were constituted commit
tee to draft resolutions expressive
of the sentiments Of the bar on
the death Of Judge Mouton : NJ.
E. G;rard, G. Dehaillon, NJ. F.
Rigues and John Clegg, who sub
seqnently reported the following
resolutions which were unanimous.
y adopted:
Your committee present the
following as family expressing the
sentiments of the Bar Association
of Lafayette Parish on this occa-
sion.
The Bar Of this Parish has
heard with profound emotion the
death of Edouard Eugene Mouton,
late Judge Of the Twenty-Fifth
Judicial District Court.
Judge Mouton commenced and
finished his life in this Parish. He
went out from here a boyish sol
der. in the late war. he returned
a full grown man. He was called
to the bar as a resident of this
Parish and until he went on the
bench, was distinguished alike for
his I'm vearied industry. his pol
ished attachments and the unfag-
ging zeal for the rights and in
terests committed to his charge.
The Bar has lost an ornament of
which its members were Justly
proud.
He seemed in two short years to
have attained the full stature of a
inst and upright judge. As a
Judge lie tempered justice with
mercy and at the same time re.
ceived the full confidence and ap.
probation of the good of the com
munity. No professional attach
ments, no faint of prejudice married
his decisions"
In all the other relations of life.
as husband, brother, son, friends,
he was gentle, amiable, reverent
and generous.
The loss Of such a lawyer and
such a man will be long felt and
deeply mourned.

That was a sharp trick of an
Iowa man. He had accumulated
$4,000 when he found out that he
was going to die. He wrote letters
to his relatives East asking aid to
live through the winter. None
responded except a niece, who sent
him $50, from her earnings as a
school teacher. Now the old man
has willed her all his money.
Moral-Whe yoLr uncle in Iowa
asks you for money send it to him.
You may never get anything, but
you won't miss the chance.

No very decided change Is advised on
the general situation Of the market since
our last report, but the tendency to great
eT cSution then suggested is rather more
prominent, aud sellers have secured no
further advantage, Eastern buyers having
followed the primary markets up to the
highest possible point warranted by the
situation on the seaboArd, and Still finding
the grower and country operator looking
for . little more money, now seem in.
cllned to Withdraw for the present and
await further developments. Sellers,
therefore, when they secure bids OF recent
valuations are inclined to operate, and
thus, willis the market 10 fairly sustained,
