CAUTION.

All remedial agents capable o destroying life by
an overdose should be avoided. Morphine, opium,
etrychnine, arnica, hyoeciamus, and other power
full remedies, does at certain times, in very small
Doses relieve the patient during their action in the
system. But perhaps the second dose, ii repeated,
may aggraVate and increase the suffering. and an
other dose cause death. There ia no necessity for
using these uncertain agents when positive rem

REGULAR GAUGE.

In October. 1871, regular gauge was
established by the signal service, and was
read for the first time on the 18th of that
month and in 1878 the present perma-
nent gauge was established by Maj. Mer-
rill. A reliable gauge record exists, then,
for only about ten years. This is, per-
haps, not sufficient length of time to fix
with accuracy standard low water, but
as such a standard is constantly needed
for the purpose of studying photographic
maps, itseems proper to select one which
shall be as near an approximation to the
truth as present Information viii per-
nit
Ten years further observations viii
probably be required to settle this ques-
ton with accuracy. For present pur-
poses it is believed that stage which
marks four inches on the ST. Louis gauge
may fairly be taken as standard low
water Works which win procure chan
mel depth of eight feet at that stage, may
be regarded as providing for the present
needs of commerce.

MURDER IN
PARISH!

On last Monday Irwin G9rret, a
nephew of S. II. Carrot residing
one mile below Napoleonville
and acting as assistant 0verseer for
his uncle, was shot and instantly
killed by negro man, known as
Yankee or Yank.
From information that is cOnsld
ed reliable the facts are about as
follows:
Yank had been discharged some
time previous for cause, bnt Mr..
Carrot, upon his ackno wledging
his errors, had permitted him to re
commence work and remain.
Again becoming unruly Mr.. Gar

charged him and ordered his goods
to be removed to his ware house
near the public road, and went
with the wagon that transported
the first load. When the remain
der was loaded up he directed bis
nephew, to accompany the wagon
aud have everything placed i'll the
ware house until Yank could ind a
place to remove them.
Yank seemed to acquiesce in
what was being done, and made 10
complaint.
However, when the wagon Was
being %unloaded, Yank approached
Irwin. a youth of 20 years,
and remarked that he intended
to XIII either him or his uncle that
morning-that he was there for
that purpose and was going to do
it,"
Carrot answered, probably hav
ing no idea that Yank Vas in earn
