Our esteemed friend, Mrs. I. T.
Baudouin. wife of the EX Sheriff,
left Oh Tuesday morning last, for
~ visit to her native city, Nash
vile, Tenn, from which place SHE
Was captured by her worthy hus|
band about twenty-five years ago
wh.e he was attending college there,
since which time she has not re
turned. We trust she may have a
pleasant trip and safe return.
Our genial friend, and merchant
DIR. Charles HubSchman, after a
residence of several months ut Lake
Charles, Oalcasieu parish, IIa., has
returned to his old stand, at Fl4gg-
vile, just below Hahnville. 1t ap.

place to live in after all, as this is
the second time our worthy Doctor
has left the parish and returned to
it. We trust that he will now do
even better than he was doing pre-.

Oh! OIL! Oh, I'm shot!!! Such
were the remarks made by Capt.
Charles Brown, our mail messenger,
on Monday night last, when Mr..
Stephen Lozano, who is staying at
Judge Hahn's house here, was
awakened by the continued barking
of his dog,and, getting up as he saw
some one passing through the rear
gate he fired off his pistol in that
direction, and Latter summoning his
brave posse, with knives, pistols,
guns, etc, they rushed out into the
rear lot to find Capt. Brown ex-
aiming his body very closely to see
if he had really been shot. Doubt
less our messenger will hereafter
have it known that he is around
while dogs are barking at night.
