The New Bell.

Some months ago the magnificent
bell ofS.. Francis Cathedral was If
reparably broken. Steps we're taken
by the ladies' OF the Catholic congre'
cation. last year, to raise means to
repair it with a new one. By their
e alous Efforts aud strenuous exer'
tons, assisted by subscriptions from
the citizens, 4 sufficient amount was
raised which together with an ex-
change OF the ruined bell, to procure
new one. It was expected that the
new bell would reach here in time
for Christmas, and 1t did arrive 10
Grand Ecore over two weeks ago but
1t was found impossible to transport
it over the impossible swamp be.
tween that point and Natchitoches.
The new bell was brought here
last Tuesday, Mr.. A. Il. Lecomte
furnishing the team. The colored
men who accompanied sang In their
quaint style, with stentorian chorus
the words "Here comes the big bell"
as 1t passed through the streets. 1t
