Messrs. Victor Maurin and Louis Wild,
owners Of the we'll known propeller Clipper,
have traded that craft for q trim little
steam launch named the Sentinel. The
swap was made with DR.. S. d. Cuisine of
Kennerville, who is understood to have
paid an amount of shoot satisfactory to
Messrs. Maurinend Wild. The Sentinel is
40 feet long by in width, hos an iron hull
is fitted up with fine, brass mounted ma
chinery, is licensed to carry IS pounds of
steam, but runs swiftly with S. to GO pounds,
is said to draw only 10 inches of water, and
will carry % passengers comfortably. At
ter putting guards on the launch and effect
ing other alterations and improvements,
the owners propose to run her in Bayou
Lafourche, making daily trips between
Thibodaux and Donaldsonville, carrying
tho mails, passengers and light freights.
The Sentinel arrived here Friday evening
and her crew at once took charge of the
Clipper, with which they returned down the
river the same evening. DR.. Cuisine has
an extensive practive along the river above
and below Kennerville, on both banks, and
finds it necessary to have steamboat in
| order to roach his patients promptly. He
intends to fit up the front cabin of the Clip
per as drug store and the rear cabin as q
private Office and consultation room, and
we think he will find the boat admirably
adapted to the purpose in view. The Sen
tinel made trial trip down Bayou La
fourche and back this afternoon, going a
mile below Paincourtville, and her new
| owners are delighted with the way the lit
tie boat behaved.
Having spent the last twelve months on
Bayou Lafourche giving universal satisfac-
ton with our Photographic work, We pro-
pose to do the same for residents of DON
jacksonville and vicinity.

Cane crops throughout the parish are
growing finely, But in most localities, and
particularly in the lower portions of tic

nave great reason to be pleased with their
outlook. The cereal is heading up beauti-
fully, and if the weather is favorable during
the period of taking of the crop the yield
will undoubtedly be very large.
