The new ferry landing at Darrowville is
located opposite the head Of Main street, a
short distance above the old landing. We
hear it rumored that an effort will be made
to reestablish the landing ON this side OF
the river at its former location above the
wharf. The alleged advantages of such a
change are, better landing, shortening
of the boats trips and consequent saving
in the consumption of coal.

ton at st, Gabriel, and that a side track
has already been laid there.
RICE CROP NoTEs.-Cutting will begin on
the Ashland Linwood and Waterloo places
next Monday The crop is in an excellent
condition on all these places. Mr.. Royce
has about 800 acres on Waterloo, which
promises fine yield. He has been quite
sick, but is much better.
Messrs. Warner and Gautreau, Iberville
rice planters, began cutting last Monday,
with good forces of hands, and are getting
along finely.
Major j. A. Burbank of st. James is cut
ting and thrashing his crop and reported
splendid yield. Where he got ten sacks last
year he is now getting twelve.
The crop of the current season will be a
very large one, but ii is apprehended that
poor market will Offset the additional profit
which our rice planters would otherwise
realize.
