What Has Happened Before
Will Happen Again.

The event has occurred again. It
was certain to happen. The 18th Grand
Monthly Drawing of The Louisiana
State Lottery took place on time las it
always does), on Tuesday, March 18th,
when the following happy result was
ELECTED: Ticket No 1864 drew $50, 900,

fractional parts of the winning ticket
were J. Allen Schaeffer, well-known

About this time TUESDAY. April 3d.
! Mr.. James Neal, a brother to Mrs. Read,
was taken sick; he complained of head
ache, seemed to have bad cold, tongue
! furred, pulse "A. l did not see Mr..
Neal again until Friday evening fol-
lowing, as ! was unwell, but DIR.
Howell had visited him and the little
negro girl Wednesday and Thursday,
and told me that Meals temperature
was 101. On Friday evening did not
take his temperature, but his pulse was
"A and discovered q few red pimples
on bis forehead; these had increased
considerably in number on Saturday
and on Monday had extended all over
his body, but still remained papules
and there were no vesicles developed
and consequently no sign of umbilica-
ten, and this latter symptom (umbili-
catisn) is the only positive sign by
which you can diagnose smallpox, and
then it must occur on or about the
eighth day. Hence, / say that at the
time of my last visit to Mr.. Neal, no
man could have positively diagnosed
the case as smallpox; he might have
guessed at it. On the next day (Mon-
day. DR.. Howell visited Neal and pro-
nounced his case small-pex, as did also
Drs. Carrigsr and Hood as the
case had then developed sufficiently to
be recognized as smallpox.
DR.. Howell informs me that he gave
the symptoms of young Tom Read to
DR.. Hood, and that the Doctor stated to
him that my diagnosis in the case was
correct.
Hoping the above facts may be ac-
ceptable to my friends, 1 remain their
obedient servant,

HOW 70 sTOP 4 PAPER.

The following from one OF our ex-
changes, so fully and clearly expresses
our views on the subject, tina; we copy
il without comment: "You have an
undoubted right to stop q newspaper
when you feel disposed, upon the pay
ment of all arrearages. Do not hesitate
to do so on account Of tenderness for
the editor. Don't you suppose he
would step buying sugar of you, or
meat, clothing, or dry goods, etc, or
employing your professional services,
if be thought he was not getting his
moneys to0rth, and why should you not
exercise the same privilege with himr
And when you discontinue a paper do
so manfully. Don't be so spiteful as to
throw IL back to the postmaster with q
cOntemptuOus Il don't want il any long
err and have Refused writted on the
margin, and have the paper returned to
the editor. No gentleman ever stopped
it in that way, no matter IL his head is
covered with grey hairs and should be
honorable. II you de not longer wish
to receive a newspaper, write q note to
the editor like a man, saying so-and be
sure that arrearages are paid. This is
the way to stop newspaper"

SILVER NINE IN COOKE COUNTY

SLL YER NINE Nv COOKE COUNTY.
Nashville american Mr.. Cam. Whit
thorne, a son of Hon. W. c. Whitthorne,
of Columbia, reached the city last night
from the neighborhood of Wolf Greek.
in Cooke county, where, in company
with Prof. Cotton, Of the State Bureau
Of Mines. he has been prospecting for
mineral lands. Mr. Whitthorne and
his associates have secured leases Of
valuable mineral lands In that vicinity,
and also a lease of what primises to be
a rich mine of gold and silver. BE ex-
hibited TO a representative of the ABleTi-
can, last night, specimens of quartz
thickly veined with what Prof. Cotton
pronounces as rich silver ore as the
average of the Colorado quartz. BE
has also a few specimens showing gold
in small, but paying quantities. They
satisfied themselves that the quantity of
quartz-bearing silver was sufficient to
justify the mining experiment. and the
lessees propose TO develop il as soon as
satisfactory analyses from mineralogi-
cal experts can be procured.
Mr. Wbitthorne says that the special
dispatches from Chattanooga announe-
ing that the Bon Air. or White Coal
and Iron Company, were the lessees OF
these lands, was an error. There is no
connection between the two companies.
From the specimens submitted TO ON
inspection, we think the di-cover.r.
have good prospect Of "pay-ore. -
