The flooding of the swamps by waters

deer out in considerable numbers and
many of these animals have recently
been seen on the plantations and even
the public roads skirting the Mississippi

deer was killed with club by a young
man who was out riding in q skif oppo-
site the plantation Of Mccall Bros, and
q day or two afterwards another was
killed in q similar way while trying to
climb up the breakwater of the revet-

temptation to slaughter these animals to

In view of this provision of the law
we warn all good citizens to lot the deer

An unfortunate accident occurred in
tue Smoke Bend neighborhood on Tues
day. Some young colored men masked
themselves, and obtaining horses, set out
to enjoy Mardi Gras lark. They made
sort Of cavalry charge upon party Of
colored people at work in a field, causing
them to scatter in all directions. A girl
who seemed frightened BY the onset was
closely pursued by one of the maskers,
and after running short distance she
lost her footing and fell, when the
masker's horse dashed over her pros
trate form and injured her very seriously
with his hoofs. The girl tainted and
remained unconscious SO long that it
was feared she would not recover. We
have not learned any thing Of her con

A report has reached US that the body
of cOlored man was found in the woods
back Of Wares Belle Grove plantation,
il iberville parish, couple of weeks
ago, aud that the cause of his death is
unknown. The man had evidently died
while out hunting, as his loaded gun
was lying near him. No marks Of vio-
lence were discovered, which led to the
belief that he had been stricken by
apoplexy, heart disease or some kindred
Ailment. He had been dead several DAYS
svhen the body was found, as decompo-
sition had SIT in and buzzards had eaten

An interesting meeting Of the Donald
sonville Lodge, X. of H., was held Tues
day night, at which several candidates
for admission mounted the lively goat.
The animal was in an unusually festive
mood aud gave the initiates an exciting
deal. The routine business Of the meet
lug was transacted with a smoothness
and facility heretofore unequaled in the
lodge, aud some of the members are
uncharitable enough to attribute it to
the absence of nearly all the regular
officers.
