EDITORS OF THE COURIER:
Once again We will Try to gather the
latest items of news for Your columns.
The weather is Il sort OF mixture that
is, a little of it good and much disagree
able. Last week vas, VIC may truly
say, the first of the year that was suit-
able for out-d door work. Considerable
ground has been broken i'll the last few
days bitches have been redug and
cleaned, fences repaired, Il little white
wash laid on here and there, a garden
plowed, some early vegetables planted
and that is about all of that kind of
work we can count up to date.
The barges appear to be doing pretty
well, i'll spite of the railroads. Several
of the lai igest barges have passed up the
Beuf this and las month, returning
loaded down to the guards. The steam
boatmen should look to their interests.
Bayou BGuf, with little improvement,
could be navigated the year round and
there are no better or more productive
lands in the State than those contiguous
and IL butary to the BGuf.
Mr.. Edholm's letter deserves all the
attention you give it. TO get imml-
grants, you must circulate the news,
give the people that live away off some
thing to read about our country, and
get them interested; then they come.
Just as received the first number of the
COURIER containing the descriptive let
ter of st. Landry, a Mr.. Beggs, of Mis-
sissippi, had written to me to find out
something about this country, the in
ducements offered immigrants, sc. |
wrapped up the COURIER and sent it to
him. And last weeks COURIER | for

The ball last Tuesday night fsr the
benefit of Opelousas Steam Fire Co.,
may be said to have been complete
and gratifying success. The attendance
was large, and comprised the elite of
the youth and beauty of st. Landry (;
the ball, though far from being finished,
was admirably suited for dancing, with
ample room for the large and brilliant
assemhlage; the music was grand, (be-
ing executed by our new string band,
composed of eight talented amateurs
under the leadership of the accomplish
ed Prof. Mayer and was without doubt
the most beautiful and fascinating eyet
furnished q ball in this parish the
management gave general satisfaction ;
and, to sum up, the Firemen have ad-
ded few dollars to their fund for the
payment of their Steamer, and every
body concerned in the affair WAS per-
fectly satisfied.
