The county commissioners have not decid-
ed upon any plan, as yet, IN relation TO the
proposed changes in the Court House. Many
plaus have been advanced and the one which
seems to have the preference is that which
advocates removing the wings, and building
on a new 'front.' 1t is asserted that all the ma
terial in the wings could be utilized and that
there would be no waste. This method would
probably be the costliest in the beginning, but
the cheapest in the end 1t would add great
ly to the architectural appearance OF the

The following from one of orr ex.
changes so fully and clearly express
es our views Oh the subject, that we
copy it without comment; "You have
an undoubted right to stop a news

the payment of all arrearages. DO
not hesitate to do so on account
of tenderness for the editor. Don't
you suppose he would stop buying
sugar of you, or meat, clothing or
dry goods, etc, if he thought he was
not getting his moneys worth, and
why should you not exercise the
same privilege with him? And when
yOu discontinue paper, do so man
fully. DON'T be SO spiteful as to
throw it back to the Postmaster with
q contemptuous 81 don't want 1t any

on The margin, and have the paper
returned to the editor. No gentle
man ever stopped it IN that way, no
matter if head is covered with grey

HOT WEATHER.

Though it is usual for ordinary
to complainof thelr,pres-
ent ailments and Affections as being
worse than those eyer before suf-
fered, and especially so as TO ex-
tremes of heat and cold, yet there is
no doubt that the present universal
complaint OF the extreme character
of this summers heat is fully war
ranted.
The oldest inhabitant can scarcely
recall so long and intense spell Of
heat as has been endured during the
past eight weeks. Nor does the end
seem to come While ninety de-
grees Farenheit is exceptional during
most summers in Louisiana, this
summer, ninety one, two, three, and
four, degrees are of continuous, daily
occurrence. Indeed, should this
state of weather continue, it may
equal the heat of more northern latl.
tudes, where it reaches one hundred
degrees. However, while thas
sweltering, the general health cont.
nues good, and only an equinlmity
OF temper is required to carry one
safely through, to cooler and pleas
anter times.
This season clearly shows that
extreme heat in our latitude is not
accompanied with the fatal conse.
quences common at the North and
West. Whether, even the present
extreme heat may not be one of the
factors now protecting us from vel
low fever, is a question, though un
known, worthy of consideration; the
fact stands, however, that so far, this
year, not single case of the fever
has appeared in the-State.
Wiseacres, who claim a monopoly
of medical knowledge, may attemp
to ridicule this idea, but so long as
the fever keeps away they are vel
come to the enjoyment Oftheir exclu
sive knowledge, there are worse
things, and 81 eater causes Of suffer
ling, than hot weather, even though
through its intensity and duration
it be not always enjoyable,
