SMALL Pox.-Wo had anticipated being
able to announce to-day the total disap-
pearance of this loathsolne disease FROM
our town, but the pleasant privilege isagain
deferred. Tho child of Edgar Fernandez,
q colored girl about 1G years of age, who
was thought to be eonvnlescent, died carly
in the week, and on Wednesday there was
not case under treatment. Since then,
however, three cases have declared them
solves, the patients being Mrs. Ella Brown,
o colored woman living on Conway street,
between Chetimaches and Houmas; George,
another child of tho coored woman Mar
cissa, corner of Houmas and Conway streets;
male child of WilhclIuina Baker, white,
on Railroad Avenue, near Claiborne street.
All these patients have been directly exposed
to contagion and are in localities that have
boon infected with the disease for several
months. Mrs. Brown washed tho clothing
worn by Ignace Rodriguez, one of the VIC
tins OF the disease who died some weeks
ago, and also scrubbed the room where he
haa been confined; sister of Narcissa's boy
George died from small pox last week, and
there have been two former cases in the
house where the Baker child lives.
Mrs. John Socola, whose husband died
here last week, is down with small pox in
Brule Maurin, Assumption parish, whittier
she was sent by friends whom the nature of
her husbands illness became apparent.
Some apprehension has been felt that,
with the advent of cool weather, there
would be marked spread and increase of
the malady unless it should be previously
extirpated, but Drs. Hanson and Mccall
lard, our municipal Health Officers, are
both of @ contrary opinion. While there
may yet be q number of struggling cases,
they will doubtless be confined to few in
fected neighborhoods, as heretofore, ard
no epidemic can reasonably be feared.

New RIVER NEws.--A New River friend
who reached town this morning brings Us
the information that the cotton yield in
that section Of the parish will average about
a half crop. On some places a full crop is
being gathered while on others it will
scarcely exceed a quarter. The staple is
generally fine and had the quantity proved
as satisfactory as the quality, there would
have been no room for complaint on the
part of our cotton raisers. The corn croD
has been good one.
The general health of tho New River peo
pie il quite good. There are some cases of
afevers reported, but not moro than are
usual at this season of the year.
A large proportion of the male popula-
ton has sought employment in tho sugar
houses of this and adjacent parishes to aid
in the work of harvesting the sugar crop.
and New River will be a comparatively dull
community until the return of those alb
sentecs. Then look out for parties, balls md
weddings.
We sincerely regret to announce the death
Of Mr.. l.. l., Seassie, the we'll known post
master and warehouse keeper at Black
Bayou Landing, on the Amite River. Mr.,
Selassie was afflicted with he1norrhage of
the kidneys and the disease terminated ia
tally on Sunday last. He was young man
of much enterprise and thrift, and was
highly esteemed by oil who enjoyed the
pleasure of his acquaintance.

That SronM-There was quite lively
little blow here last Saturday forenoon, fol-
lowed by a rainfall Of ordinary dimensio ns,
but there was no such storm as that re-
ported by the City Item and PicaUu,te,
which papers described the wind as q tor
nado and the rain torrential. Reports from
the surrounding country are to the effect
that considerable sugar cane has been par
TALLY Frustrated, but the damage, if
any, is slight. We have heard some expe-
rienced planters contend that, so far from
being injurious, it is often beneficial to the
cane to have it blown down at this period Of
the year. At all events the little storm was
one of very commonplace character. The
Item seems to have procured its informa-
tons from a local correspondent with q
popularity for conjuring up tempests and
hurricanes, while the Pienytae evidently
borrowed the romance from the ITEM.
