The Parish School Board held a
meeting on last Tuesday, August IL
inst. aud decided not to open any
of the public schools in the parish
until tue first of January 1856.
The board regretted to be forced
to take such action, but there Is
not now, nor is it likely that there
will be more than a suf1iciency Of
funds turned into the treasury III
1885 to liquidate present Indebted
ness, and finish the session OF one
or two schools that were not open
ed until late in the season.
1t is unsatisfactory to teachers,
and unpleasant to the directors not
to receive and pay the monthly sti
pend when due.
Commencing in January, free
from debt. there will be some hopes
of giving longer sessions than usual:
and paying the teachers punctually,
at the close of each month, which
will be much more satisfactory than
it will be to commence sessions ear
lier and be unable to pay promptly
services when honestly rendered.

The True Heaven on Earth.

If there is any heaven on earth, it is
where just the right man marries just
the right woman, and there is no way
to be happy except with perfect liber
ty, | hate man who thinks woman
should obey him. Ghad rather be a
slave than a master. had rather he
robbed than be a robber. All that
ask for womankind Is simply liberty,
and let the man love the woman as she
should be loved. AS one of the old
sacred books of the Hindus says
MAN is straightforward is beauty,
man is courage--woman is prudence,
man is strength and woman is wisdom,
and where there is one man loving one
woman, and one woman loving one
man, in that house the very angels
love to come and sit and slug" l be-
lieve, then, in perfect freedom; | be.
lieve in perfect justice, and where a
man loves a woman she never grows
old to him. Through the wrinkles of
age, and through the mask of time he
sees the sweet maiden face that he
loved and won And where a woman
really loves man he does not grow
gray he does not grow decrepit, he is
not old, but he is the same gallant
gentleman forever that won her heart
and hand. Robert G. Ingersoll.

Mrs. S. X, Hatton, the present eff.

very handsome vote.
The road law seems destined to very
frequent consideration by the present
General Assembly, judging from the
number of bills on that subject that are
being introduced.
Though thirty six members Of the
House voted against the resolution in
structing the Sergeant.at. Arms to pro.
vide each member SIS in stamps, only
about one.sixth Of them have signfed
their intention to refuse the stamps.
That does not 60 on the record and the
vote did.
MIR. HarrelI, Representative from
Fayette, has introduced no fence bill
in the House. 1t compels the fencing
in all stock, and does not require
fences for fields in cultivation, but
makes it trespass to enter such fields
just as if enclosed.
The election of Treasurer and Comp
troller will probable come up next
Monday in the General Assembly. A
roundup of the Democratic members
shows a disposition prevailing at pres
ent to let matters take their course the
day the election comes up without a
caucus beforehand.
No less than 1000 petitions have
been sent up to the Senate for presen-
tation upon the subject of prohibition

We have had thus far very unfa-
vorable weather for farmers. The
weather was very dry up to Deem
Der 18th. At that time the rains be-
gan in earnest, and with the eXcep-
ton of about ten days, has rained
continually. Fully inches of rain
fell during that time, making the
ground so wet that most of us around
MERGED have not been able to get in
our crops. Cannot say when work
will be resumed. 1t looks now as if
but little grain will be sown on our
best lands. Some farmers have not
sOwn an acre yet and will not in all
probability. ] have my land all
plowed except few acres, but only
about 40 acres seeded. The rain has
ceased now, and the sun is shining.
Hope we will have some fair weather.
If SO | will get to put in a part Of my
rancho, but it will be late and unfa-
vOrable for a large yield, but the best
that can be done now. On sandy
land farmers have done better, as
they can go on seeding when not
raining. But altogether this valley
(San JOaquin) will be far short of its
usual acreage sOwn, and of course a
large falling off from last years crop.
The situation is not so bad, however,
since the farmers will summer fallow
their lands and be in better shape for
another years crop. Prices of grain
continue low, though a little better
than when | wrote you last. Wheat
has advanced from $1.25 to $l.32 per
l00tb, but is not active at the latter
price. At these figures, however, a
great deal of wheat has been sold
during the last ten or twelve days. |

December 8th, large one, descend
ant from seed brought from Virginia
a dozen years ago or more. This
fruit, as usually managed, lasts only
three or four weeks in the Northern
States. The season may be prolOng-
ed through October and November
with a little painstaking. Specimens
for late use should be picked about a
week before they are in their best
eating condition, carefully handled,
and placed in cool, dry room, where
there will benO danger of frost. By
the last of October they should be
packed in dry saw-dust, clean, dry
hay, or cut straw, kept in dry room
and used as wanted. The old-fash-
Toned way Of keeping crOOk-neck
sqnashes, hanging up in the kitchen
by a loop of wooden listing, is still in
use, and is effective when the room
is safe from frost. When the coal
fire is not suffered to go out, they
keep we'll through the winter. The
Hubbards and Marbleheads are good
keepers under similar conditions.
Where there are closets against the
chimney, these and other hard-shell-
ed squashes, keep well. The great
secret of success is in very careful
handling. AS a table vegetable, and
in pies, these winter squashes are
hard TO beat.
