Southern iSe,ltf1asE The dreadful
nnalady among hogs IN this parish, Is
now thought to be swine lever. The
symptoms certainly will not do for
cholera. WI some one acquainted
with the disease called swine fever,
tell us something Of its symptoms
Thibodeaux Sentinel. Reports from
the plantations in LaFourche and
Terrebonne say that large Yields of
sugar are being obtained. The late
frosts have effectualiy killed the buds
Of the cane, SO that no further i'm
pr0vement IS expected. Considerable
cane has been windrowed, bnt as il
was matured, when cut down, 1t will
yield a good return when ground.
Bnt few as favorable seasons for saw
lug crop, has been experienced as
this one OF 1855 has proven.
CapitoIiaa Advocate: With regret
we are called on this morning to re-
cord the death of DIR. William A.
Burris, who died at his residence, near
Hope Villa, in the parish of Ascen-
sion, on Friday, December 4, 1 1856, at
Hops a. M, after brief illness of ty-
phoid pneumonia. DR.. Burris was
only thirty-seven years old and leaves
family and hosts of warm personal
friends to mourn his loss. His body
will be inferred IN Magnolia Cemetery
at 2 O'Clock this evening. The CGpl-
tottaR- Advocate extends It's heartfelt
sympathy to the bereayed family Of
the deceased.
Pointe Conpee Banner: in this
immediate vicinity large majority of
the planters have entirely finished
picking ont their cotton. The few
places that still have the fields white
are worked on shares, and it is neglect
on the part of the laborers more then
ANYTHING else which is the cause of
their being behind with their work.
This neglect is due to the fact that
they have eaten up their share of the
crop in advance, and it is with reiuct-
ance that they pick the cotton for the
benefit of the merchants who advanced
them. This is not honest and, be-
sides, is bad policy, for they must
know that they will need the country
merchants to advance them next year.
Mansfield Herald: The Baptist
Council, representing the Grand Cane
Association, convened according to
appointment at Keachi on the 9th
inst, and considered the case of Rev.
7. N. Coleman. about which our
readers must be already well informed.
Mr.. Coleman was represented by J, II.
Shepherd. ESQ. but he was not al
lowed to be heard, on the ground that
it was unbaptistic and an insult
to the body for LEGAL counsel TO be
employed on such occasions. The re-
suit of the discussion was entirely in
opposition to the views of Mr.. Cole
man, and sustaining the position that
his course was irregular. He was
dismissed from the communion and
committee appointed 10 wait on MN
and demand his credentials.
Baton Rouge Truth: The action of
the jury last week in convicting
number Of parties for failure TO work
the roads is very strong indication
that there is not only a road law in
existence, but thBt isi lie juries of this
parish are determined TO punish those
who refuse TO obey it. The idea seems
to have gone abroad that there is no
way to enforce working upon the pub
lie roads, and as consequence in
many neighborhoods no work has
been done on them and the public
thoroughfares become so bad during
the rainy season that travel in We
licles is almost entirely suspended. In
every instance last week the jury
brought back verdict of conviction,
except in those cases where there was
some defect in the manner the notices
had been issued TO Justify a refusal to
work.
