TAX SALES.-The Sheriff has continued
his daily sales Of property for delinquent
taxes, and during the current week the

calcitrants have been adjudicated to the

Augustus King. Josephine Marceline,
Anthony Nicholas Il Co, j can Louis Peytavin,
Jack Minor, Andre Sanchez & Co.,
Eliza Foster, VIM. Taylor
Mrs. Charlotte Patsey, Williams Tailor.
The prices paid ranged from $40 to

ticino; that Of Augustus King by Austin
Duncan; that of Eliza Foster by Wilson

SCoTT's DITcH BANK PLow ATTACH
MENT.-The attention of our readers,
and particularly those who are planters,
is invited to the advertisement of Mr..
John Scott's Ditch Bank Plow Attach
ment, an ingenious and simple device
by means Of which the strips Of land
skirting bitches and canals, which it has
been impossible to utilize heretofore,
may be readily broken up by the plow
and placed under cultivation. As stated
i'll the advertisement, the improvement
is comparatively inexpensive and pays
for itself repeatedly in single season.
The testimonials which we publish in
favor Of the attachment are of char
acter which leave no room to doubt its
utility and value. When such planters
as Messrs. Kenner & Brent, Col. Brin-
gier and other gentlemen whose names
are attached to Mr.. Scott's testimonials
certify to the usefulness and success of
any thing connected with plantation
work, the planters of this part Of the
State will ask no better evidence Of the
facts. We..are conviuced,tha the ditch
bank attachment ought to be in use on
every plantation in the State, and that
it lie one of the improvements that will
be no uncomfortable factor in the agri-
cultural economy of the nesr future.
The inventor and patented, 2r. John
Scott of Plaquemine, will promptly re-
spond to all inquiries respecting the
operation and cost of his attachment.

very dilatory about making their returns,
and they are liable at any time to get
into trouble by reason OF the neglect.
