On Sunday, the I'll inst, Henry fhll-
ip, son Of Hon. Adam Buck, who is
we'll known in this city, was drowned
while bathing in Winkleman's Lake,
near Henderson, in this State. The
little fellow was only eleven years old
and went into the water to learn to
swim but ventured out too far and his
companions, who were instructing
him, were compelled to let loose of him,
the water running quite swiftly at that
point. He was drowned before assist
ance could reach him. Every effort
was made to recover his body but one
hour interviewed ere it proved success
full and all endeavors to resuscitate
him proved unavailing. This IS anoth.
er warning to small boys who are in the
habit of bathing without older persons
being present to assist them in case of
danger.

The two wooden buildings near the
Railroad Station, formerly used as en-.
CINE houses, but recently for the stor-
age of ice, were destroyed by fire at
about II O'Clock on Sunday evening.
When the fire was discovered, the
buildings were so completely envelop.
ed in flames that no attempt was made
to extinguish it. The origin of the
fire is unknown, but, as no case OF
spontaneous combustion of ice has
been reported, it is supposed to be the
work of an incendiary.

We learn that on the 22d inst, boy
aged about IS years, named Ben Bar
ton, killed a man BY the name of
White. near Bayou Chicot, in this par
ish. The slayer surrendered himself
to deputy sheriff Erlichs and was
brought to Opelonsas on the 23d,
whence he was taken to Alexandria on
the evening of the 24th.
It appears that White had threatened
the life Of Barton, and that the latter
went to the field where White was at
work and emptied both barrels of bis
gun into the body of his victim. and
then battered his head and face with
the weapon. The bog seems to take
THE matter very eoolly. apparently be-
lieving that bis course was justifable.
White came from Mississippi year o.
two ago, and leaves wife and two
children. Barton has number Of rela-

hood. All are white.

4 Haven for the Overlooked.

We have so often heretofore called
the attention of people whe are in
search of new homes, to the manifold
advantages which St. Landry parish
offers to the immigrant or new settler,
that we feared to tire our readers
through the sheer menotony of the
theme But when we read, in our ex-
changes of each day, of the dismal ruin
that surrounds so large number of our
unfortunate countrymen in this and ad-
joining States; their fearful and sick
ening want and destitution their hor-
ribls exposure to all the accumulated
inclemencies of this disastrous flood
when we read of all these, and are
mindful ton of the many heart bereave-
ments that 50 many have suffered, and
then survey the peace and security of
our happy St. Landry, we again m AXE
bold to set forth some of her advan-
tages.
Above all recommendations we are
far above the highest of known waters.
In the 0pelousas section, one may
stand upon any of the bay hills (mag-
nolia hills) that bluff upon the bounda-
ries of the Teche or Atchafalaya low
lands and see the PERCEPTIONS declivity
of 25 or 80 feet. From Washington,
Opelousas and Grand Coteau, these
bluff lands roll westward through prai-
rie and woodland, far away to the Sa-
bine river. Within that scope of coun-
try lie all the varying beauties of seen
cry and landscape. Bayou Beuf has
her charms, peculiar to herself, aud
every security. The Chicot country,
that sometimes sleeps to the lullaby of
her lofty pines, is the Switzerland of
St. Landry, and will be the happy
home of many thousands in the near
future.
We have not half the spaee to pro-
claim half the. advantages of this dis
tinctive section of St. Landry. We be
lieve that here in St. Landry, we have
shelter and homes. and land and seen
rity and welcome for half the homeless,
distressed and destitute people of over
flowed Louisiana.
The Morgan railroad runs the length
of the land. Steamers ply semi weekly
between Washington and New Orleans
Our climate 10 salubrious, onr soil pro
ductive. Lands can be had at low
prices and on easy terms. We invite,
we beg you TO come and find that peace
and calm in life, that security and pos
sible plenty which is the promised
reward of industry and frugality.
