WHY SECRECY ?

Our attention has been requested to
the following subject for some weeks

is secret association, we now proceed
to give to the Republicans of this coun-
ty the evidence that it is secret.
From copy of the Constitution" of
said "club," which has fallen into our
hands, we find the following:

Mr.. EDlToR-The weather continues
gloomy, and the clouds Indicate more
rain. Owing to constantly recurring
showers, the roads iu most parts of the
parish are nearly impossible. Our lit
tie village is quiet, as usual, aud not
understanding the months Of cold and
wet weather, the health of Cameron
was never better than now. II is rare
to hear Of doctor being sent for, and
we have at present but one licensed
physician in the parish.
Mr.. Roy, whose residence on MOTH
Island was wrecked by the late storm,
died three days afterwards from the
injuries he received from the falling
timbers of his house. The other mem
bers of bis family are recovering from
the injuries they received by the same
disaster
As no newspaper is published in

respond to your invitation for cores

ton in your paper of March ~. The

following:
Several parties from up the river
give us the particulars of most cold

Wits Eddy, on Thursday of last
week. Sherod Smith, George Lee and
Charles Mazilly, it seems. were in a
skiff, and while Mr.. Smith and one of
the men were STOPPING down, in the
act of taking up a sack of -four which
they had 10 the boat, a rifle fired from
tie brush on the rivers bank aud a
ball striking Mr.. Sherod Smith in the
back, went tearing through his body.

declaring, so our iuformants tell us,
that he had been SHOT by Thomas

of the men who were with him saw
Stevens, or the murderer as lie ran off

N1TALLY IMPoGTANr.-Beforr VAIN
weather arrives our city fathers should
adopt, and rtigidly enforce, measures
to -inslre the cleanliness Of our town,
not only on our streets and public
places, but on the premises OF every
householder. IL has been fully demon
strated that all malignant epidemic
diseases in towns aud cities are most
fatal where there is an absence OF
proper sanitary regulations. Thedrain-
age of our streets has been too long
neglected, aud a regular and thorough
inspection of private premises seems
to he never thought Of until tho heat
Of summer. Strangers passing through
town carry away favorable or unfavor-
able impressions and reports, accord
ing to its cleanliness or uncleapllness,
and the good name Of Lake Charles,
as a healthy locality, no less than the
interests of humanity, demand lmme
date attention to this matter. In this
respect an ounce Of prevention is worth
q pound of cure.
