ANNUAL MEETING.
KOrter's CutayacO

Cures Pityriasis, or Dandruff, and stops
the hair falling out.
Alopecia, or Badness is caused by a
fungus destroying the roots OF the hair.
A spot may first arise where first inocu-
lated, spreading in a circular form, and
so enlarging by degrees that the whole
hair is swspt away, leaving glisteniug
scalp; or, the disease may first appear in
various places. The hair is dull and lus-
treless and easily extracted, or it begins
to fall, and progressing by degrees is
soon lost unless remedied
II will cause the hair to grow, because
it at once DESTROYS the offending cause
which prevents; the hair is at once pre-
served, and the scalp and bulbs made
healthy and vigorous.
The Cutavaco is fine dressing for the
hair, and should be used in every family
There are no POISONOUS substances in il
whatever, aud it can be used without
danger to the hair or scalp.
Price one dollar per bottle. Prepared

on to fill every office in their gift from
Governor down. Now is the time to
agitate the many vital questions then
to be settled, and OF these none are
of more vital Importance than the pas
sage of proper legislation, relative to
charges for the freight and passage on
railroads; statutes preventing discrim
nations in favor of one locality and
against another by railroads, etc, etc.
Alabama, Texas, Tennessee, Illinois
and other States have already acted in
this matter. Their action has been
sanctioned by the Supreme Court of the
United States, and next year Louisiana
should begin the good work. The class
of people who need protection in this
State are our planters. They have been
between "hawk and buzzard" for the
last twenty years. During the war the
planter was plundercd and robbed al
ternateiy by Confederate, by Federal
by sjayhawker." After the war he was
the special prey of the corrupt govern
ments which dominated Louisiana, and
now when those have passed away.
come the railroads with their extortion-
ate charges to strip him of the little
that war, misgovernment, pestilence
and inundation have left him.
Every restriction put upon railroad
monopolies in curling their extortions
and determinations is blow struck in
favor of the planting interest. We hope
at the next session of the Legislature
to see these blows fall thick and fast,
and that they will not cease until laws
are enacted that will cause railroad cor
porations to know there is power in
the State to whose control they are sub
ject-even though their treasures are
filled with millions of dollars.

On Thursday morning the workmen
in the shaft of the East Wellington
Colliery struck the seam of coal at a
depth of 24o feet from the surface. The
coal is hard, clean and of a superior
quality. The seam pitches very slightly
and that towards the bluff. Mr.. G..
Wingate, Superintendent, would not
allow the miners to work into the seam
until they completed the timbering of
the shaft and got the midwall down near
TO the coal. lie rightly says, that in
opening into seam of coal, you cannot
tell what gas will give off, and it is the
only safe plan 10 have the shaft in good
order, with q full tupply of air. The
roof 10 the coal appears To be hard and
solid and free from slips. This shaft
has been put down with expedition, the
work of sinking being commenced less
than four months ago. The shaft is
fSxS, substantially tifabered with a mid
wall, and reflects credit on the superin-
tendens, Mr.. q. Ningate, and the con.
tractor for the sinking. Mr.. L. Dunn.
IL is confidently expected thai the seam
will be from eight 10 twelve feet IN
thickness. Tbs saw mill started opera
siuns few days ago and is now cutting
the lumber necessary for celliery pur-
poses. In n few days the mil viii start
to cut ont the timbers necessary for the
tres;ie work. Tho railway will be
carried down the level of the valley till

delay from an overflow of the mill

TgaGEDs AT POINT ROBERTS.

The following particulars have been
furnished us Of tho killing at Point Rob
erts on the 18th inst:
There had for some time been ill feel
ing between John Harris and Charles
Mitchell, alias Charley the Greek, both
residing near Point Roberts. The diff
Guilty grew ont of law suit. Harris was
at the house of his son-in-law, A. j. At
klhson, and from there started to 90
home. Hariis's house Is about three
miles from Atkinson's, and no had to
pas3 Mitchell q on the way home. When
he had arrived in front of Mitchell's
house the latter came out to meet him
and offered to make friends over the
law suit. but when he got near enough
to Harris he grabbed his gun, and .
struggle began for its possession. Har-
ris WAS tripped, or tripped himself and
fell, leaving the gun, which had been
discharged during the scuiile, in Mitch
ellis hands. Mitchell then commenced
beating Harris with the butt of the gun.
lie struck Harris fonr heavy blows on
the head, ono of them over the right
eye. which fractured the skull. He also
il flicted several serious wounds and
bruises on the chest. A. j. Atkinson.
"oui anu IEcu Nbliaiis anu lidll
named Peterson, seeing the struggle,
went to Harris's assistance, but arrived
too late TO do any good. Mitchell re-
tired on the approach of the fodr men
named, but soon appeared again in
front of his house, loading a shotgun:
and shouted TO Atkinson, asking if he
wanted to shoot, the latter making no
reply. Harris was taken to Atkinson's
honse, where he died on Saturday night,
after intense suffering.
Deceased was 6S years of age, and
leaves wife and one daughter.
Mitchell WAS arrested, tried before
Justica Freese, at Semiahmoo, and ac.
quilted on the ground of justiiiab!e
homicide.
The weapon with which Mitchell did
the deed was a double barreled shotgun.
The gun was broken off at the stock.
and both barrels were broken in two
about foot from tho breach.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
We have received the following brief
statement of the other side Of the case:
On Thursday, Jan. IL. John Harris was
killed by Charles Mitchell. fisherman,
at Point Roberts. From the evidence it
appears that Harris went to Mi.eheli's
house and assaulted him with shotgun.
Harris shot at Mitchell without effect,
when Mitchell took the gun from Harris
and dubbed him To death. Mitchell
was given q hearing before a jury and
acquitted, the verdict being justiiiable
homIcide.-N. w. Enterprise.
