EDITORS or THE COURIER
This month, up to date, has been re-
markable for heavy rainfall. On Satur-
day, very heavy rain fell during six
hours. The night cleared off cool, and
Sunday morning VIC had ice. The ba-
yous, ponds, gulches, lakes and fields
are full of water. Some futile attempts
have been made to break land, but the
rain and bad weather prevent the plow-
man from doing much. We have heard
but little expression either way about
the nomination for Congress for this dis
trict; in fact, | have not been around
the country much, and feel no particu-
lar interest more than sincere hope
that the Democracy have made IA wise
choice, and one that will rebound to the
glory of st. Landry as we'll as the entire
State.-The time is near at hand when
early potatoes should be planted, as well
as various seeds, such as cabbage, let
tuee, radisb, &c.
There has been much said and thought
and written about the " Furman for
mula.'' To put with it, offer you
" Farmer jones' Good Rules" from the
american Farmer. Young man, cut out
these rules, and paste them on the in
side of your hat, and read them three
times day. Women, read these rules
every morning to your husbands they
are worth perpetuating
If you wish to be always thirsty, be a
drunkard; for the oitener and more you
drink, the more thirsty you will be.
If you wish to prevent your friends
from helping you on in the world, be a
drunkard; for that itself will defeat all
their efforts.
Ifyou are determined to be poor, be a
drunkard; for soon you will be ragged
and penniless.
Ii you wish to starpe your family, be
a drunkard; for that will consume all
SouL hCduSs
If you wish to be imposed on by
knaves, be drnnkard; that being a
sure way of destruction.
you would have no resources when
past labor but a workhouse, be drunk
ard aud you will accomplish it most
effectually.
Yes, Messrs. Editors, all have the right
and just one, to think and act as it
pleases them best; and | think you will
. find more men land many women, too,
for that matter,) ready and willing to
try a new "formula :" for mixing drinks
than something to improve and enhance
the value of their lands; but they are
right to do as they please. If q good
drink is better than productive lands,
take it by all means but if you want
fine lands that make paying crops like
those produced by Furnlan, adopt the
thurman formula With good wishes,

Last week we mentioned the tact that
dogs we're killing sheep in the suburbs
of town, and we are informed that the
destruction is still going on. On Mon
day evening last four dead sheep were
seen in the bayou lesson near DR.. Bo-
agni's residence. They were doubtless
chased into the swollen bayou by the
worthless dogs and drowned, because
the night previous sheep were heard
bleating terribly from Il number Of dogs
worrying them, not far from the College
buildings. Within the past two weeks
eight dead sheep and lambs have been
seen between Bourdin's bridge and the
upper bridge leading to the Catholic
church. On Tuesday, dog would have
killed one above the College buildings
if the school boys had not gone to its
rescue. The sheep ARE said to belong
to III. l.. Garland, Esq, and Mr.. F. De-
larue. These sheep killing dogs ought
to be hunted down or they will destroy
all of the sheep in the neighborhood.

Rolla Ryan.

After the lapse of two years Prof.
Ryan, the distinguished eloeutionist,
and his son Rolla, the inimitable char
aeter delinsator and comedian, appear
ed before the Opelousas public on Tues
day and Wednesday nights, and despite
the inclement weather were greeted by
large and appreciative audiences. In
the absence of time to write up these
interesting and artistic performances,
we would state that many new
features have been added to their choice
repertoire of er1ginal productions, and
that Rolla is acquiring still greater pop
ularity by the high talents and distinc-
tive genius manifested in his art.
These gentlemen kindly donated one
half the proceeds of their second nights
entertainment, amounting to $35.35, to
Opelousas Steam fire Co., for which they
deserve the thanks of this community,
and which favor the Company will no
doubt appreciate and formally acknowl-
edge at their first meeting.
