The Gretna Courier is response
BILE for the following story. As a
lady edits, the paper, We will not
attempt to dispute it; besides, it is
so 'natural:"
A certain lady suspected that her
husband was in the habit of kiss
ing the cook, q pretty German girl,
by-the-bye, and determined to de-
tect him In the act. After watch
ing for days she heard him come
in one evening and gently pass
through into the kitchen. Burning
with jealousy, the wife took some
matches in her hand, and hastily
placing her shawl over her head,
as Katy sometimes did, entered the
kitchen by the back door, and was
alrcnst immediately seized and en-
braced in the most ardent manner.
With her heart bursting with rage
and jealousy, the injured wife pre-
pared to administer a terrible re-
buke to her faithless spouse. Tear
ing herself from his embrace she
struck match, and stood face to
face with Katy's beau, one of tho
factory boys.
The Richland Beacon, is respon-
sible for the following: We only
accept it as 'bare" story:
On Monday evening. four miles
south of Rayville, Willie Frey was
coming along the Rayville and AL
to road In wagon drawn by two
mules, when just this side Of the
ginhouse bear made its appear
ance from the west. 1t came up
to the wagon and attempted sever
al times to bound into the wagon,
but the mules were jumping and
trying to run. 1t took Mr.. Frey
and one of the colored boys in the
wagon with him to hold the mules.
He told the other two cOlored men
to kill the bear with an AK that
was in the wagon, but it seems that
they were too frightened to do
anything. The bear after making
two or three attempts to get into
the wagon and failing, went on his
way eastward. This story looks
incredulous to those who do not
know Willie Frey but to US, know
ing his character for veraclty, do
not doubt his statement in the least.
The bear was large and seemed to
be fat.
Catahoula News: Last week two
colorcd men were drowned in
Black river, near Troyville in this
parish. 1t seems that they left
Troyville with . boat load Of pro-
visions, and, while crossing the
river, BY some means the boat was
sunk. Both men being good SWIM
mers, they struck out for the shore,
which they could easily have reach
ed had the water not been 90 cold.
As it was, it is supposed, they were
seized with cramp. and drowned
before assistance could reach them.
We learn from the Ouachita
Telegraph, that little Dora Gerson
of Monroe, while standing near !
stove in the school house, hsr
clothes caught on FIRE, and before
the FIRE could be extinguished, she
was burned 20 severely, that she
died on the night following.

hard times prevailing everywhere,

Natchitoches Review: The pa
pers are circulating q report Of .

difficult to detect. In fact it is
said the only way it can be discov-
