sa,..rslnv,s NOV.

Last Saturday by far the severest
rain and wind storm of the season
visited this section. In onr own
immediate vicinity, but little or no
damage was the result. Down the
river, however, tidiDgs of consider.
able damage have reached US. The
residence of Mr.. George Williams,
in the Kaough ncighbOrhood, was
blown down, and Mr.. Williams con-
siderably bruised. Some of the
heavy tiinbers fell upon him in
such a manner as to render him
unable toextricate himself, his wife
being compelled to saw them apart
in order to effect his release. The
balance of the family escaped in
jury. We also learn that several
fences were blown down, our friend
and patron Mr.. Jos. Kaough being
among those whose fences were de-
mOlished. No doubt much damage
was sustained Of which we have
not been informed. The mail
steamer Ramos was caught in the
storm just as she reached Big
Lake, and compelled to lay by three |
hours, the lake being too rough to
attempt its passage.

idence Of Mr.. II. D. Nix, in the town
of Lake Charles, Thursday evening,
March goth, by Elder A. J. Terry,
Mr.. r. j. Ccssford to Mrs. Matte
Garraway.
There were about two hundred per
sons-relatives and friends-of the
happy newly married couple present
on this interesting occasion, assembled
III the handsome new residence of Mr
Nix. After the solemn and impress
sive ceremony which binds two faith
full hearts to hereafter beat as one had
been completed the company we're in
yited to partake Of bountiful repast.
There was wine in abundance and del
icacies in profusioB, and ample justice
was done to both. Health and pros
periiy to the handsome couple we're
drank with hearty good will After
the supper an opportunity was given
those who desired to do so to trip the
light fantastic toe, and this amuse-
ment was INDUCED in until twelve
o'clock, when the company dispersed,
each one glad to have been present.
The Echo is privileged character in
ibis community and while congratula-
lions may be late, we extend them new
artheless. May this couple never know
THAT sorrow or trouble is, may they
i've happy in each others love, and as
hey peacefully drift down the stream
If tine may they bless the glad hour
When first they met and rejoice that

An Tnhunann Esiend.

An account Of a most shocking out
rage, occurring at West Lake Charles
shortly after dark Thursday evening,
has reached US. One Lewis Woods,
eolored, criminally assaulted four
teep-year OLD eolored girl named Ellen
Catalan, accomplishing his henious de-
signs only after firing three shots at
bis victim and knocking her senseless
with the batt end of bis pistol. The
colored residents of the place were so
ineensed that they turned out in num-
bers, soon efecting the miscreants
capture. He was tied down and the
authorities notified of what had oc-
occurred. Constable JEFF Lyons went
over after hun and safely lodged him
p our parish Jail.

The Echo was made the re-
cipient of a pleasant social call,
Tuesday, from Mr.. Frank OAR
mand, a prominent merchant Of
Clinton, who was visiting Lake
Charles both for the purpose of a
few days rest from business cares
and to see for himself if, in his
opinion, the future Of our little
{" city BY the lake, was as bright
as it has been pictured.

From Mr. R. w. Perkins, who
gave Us call last Tuesday, We learn
that Irwin Perkins and himself are
engaged 10 making road along the
West Fork to Old river, with a view
Of procuring charter from the police
jury for a public ferry across these
streams. This is an excellent idea,
which, # successfully carried out,
viii greatly facilitate public travel,
doing away with the present necessity
Of crossing two ferries. Our citizens
should reuder these gentlemen such
assistance Is il necessary to secure
the success Of the enterprise.

L =
The Echo was the recipient Mon
day morning Of a very agreeable
call from Mr. Walter s. Davis,
United States assistant engineer,
who had just returned from a tour
of inspection down the Calcasieu
river as far as the Pass. Mr.. Davis
cheerfully gave us all the informal
| ton he had been enabled to gather
concerning the alI-important deep
water problem, which we here con-
dense in as intelligent form as
possible. Soundings were taken at
intervals along the river all the
way down, and sketches Of its
meaderings and banks were made.
On the bar at the entrance of Lake
Calcasieu, or Big Lake, Mr.. Davis
found the shallowest water, Tor
binary tide to be 6 ID feet, and
the average depth through the lake
eight to nine feet. In the canal,
soundings were also taken, and six
feet of water found. The river
above and below the canal requires
no improvement. While our in
formant could not state positively |
what would be the mode OF proce- |
dure, he thinks a system Of jetty- |
ing viii be adopted, in which case,
what are known as brush fascines,
will be used. The faseines are made
of strong brush, laid crossways,
strongly fastened together and Sc
curely staked down when put In
position in the. water. They are
usually constructed about a foot
thick, the length varying from
twenty to forty feet, as found most
conVenient to handle. Wherever
these brush fascines have been
tried they have been found to work
admirably. As stated last week,
the present appropriation of some
$4,000 was intended to be applied
both above and below Lake Charles,
though Mr. Davis was of the opin-
ion that this is optionary with Ma
jor Stickney, who has charge Of the
work, and for this reason sought (
and obtained expressions from our
leading citizens relative to the mat
ter, the great majority of whom IA
vored concentrating all available
funds on the bars between Lake {
and the Pass. The amount {
on hand is inadequate to the pro
posed work, but it is thought suffi- /
Gent upon which to begin opera {
lions, and In all probability, Though e
we cannot state positively, work '
will shortly be commenced. 1t is 1
lot yet decided whether it will be I
let out by contract, or whether gov o
srnment officials viii have charge y
If the work. In case the latter plan J
'hall be adopted, barges win be
at this point for pros
cutting the same. There are few
problems the successful solving of 2
which will add as greatly to the 9
uture prosperity, growth and de- .
Of Lake Charles and sur g
country as the one of deep g
water. If the next congress does 9
Iot give us an appropriation suAi- 8
lent to complete the work, then no p
lnse should be lost by our property "
wners. They must put their own 6
houlders to the wheel, and nothing y
aunted, push the work forward. b
