Almost "A Fatal Mistake.

We are informed by Dr. }. NJ. Coly,
coroner, that in addition to the poi,
soning of Mr.. Hebert Landry, some
days ago on the Lacasine, there came
very near being another fatal accident
ocoasioned by like mistake, and with
the same fatal phial of strychnine. 1t
seems that few days after the death
of Mr.. Landry, neighbor called at
Mrs. Landry's residence and asked her
to give him a dose of calomel, which
the old lady readily assented to do,
but refused to measure out the needed
dose of medicine, as there was but
little left, and told him to take
the phial home, but instructed him
to give something else, as the child
was not much sick, and give the
calomel next day: Luckily for the
gentleman he did as instructed by
Mrs. Landry, and awaited the next
day for the giving of the calomel.
He did not examine the phial of med
icine which Mrs. Landry gave him
until the next day, which he forum
ately did before giving it, when to his
utter establishment be found that the
phial was labeled strychnine, and not
ealomel, which goes to show very
clearly that Mrs. Landry was still
ignorant of the contents OF the phial
and the fatal mistake she had made,
even up to that time.
This should be warning to parties
in the habit Of keeping poisonous
drugs about their homes, and warn
them that too much caution cannot be
used in the handling Of all kinds of
medicines.

The New store.

Owing to the lateness of the houl
when we received Mr.. S. Simon's ad.
vertisement, we were prevented from
calling attention to il last week. Mr..
Simon is located at the old Landry
stand, or "Red Store, where he has in
stock one Of the finest assortments Of
general merchandise ever brought to
Lake Charles, consisting of dry goods,
fancy notions, ladies' dress goods,
gents furnishing goods, ready made
clothing, hats, boots and shoes. The
grocery department is replete with all
kinds of fancy and staple groceries,
and he keeps hardware, crockery,
wood, willow and tinware. Mr.. ST.
mons goods are fresh and purchased
of first hands, consequently he is en-
abled to sell very cheap, which fact
will no doubt speedily build up large
trade for him. Mr.. s. Lobe, very
clever young gentleman, will manage
the business here, as Mr.. Simon's large
interests in New Orleans demands his
presence there, and we bespeak for
Mr.. Simon's new store and his affable
manager liberal share of public pa
tronage. See advertisement in another
column

Fine Corn.

We have in our Office some as fine
ears of corn as has been our pleasure
to see in many day. In fact, such
samples as this would be a credit to
orr parish if placed at the forthcoming
Exposition. This corn was taken from
the field of Mr.. John Burnett, of which
we spoke some time since, and proves
that our predictions of an extra heavy
yield was well founded. The longest
ears are about ~ inches, of a Western
variety, and will be excellent for seed
corn for another years planting. One
of these ears of corn, Mr.. Burnett says,
is kissing ear, and if any of our
young folks want to know what that
means, just let them call on Mr.. B.
and he will explain.

The following bran new suits have
been docketed IN this court during
the past week: d. Bloch & Bro. VS.
Albert Graham, judgment by con
fession VIM. Meyer VS.. B. Sweeney
pending answer; b. Terasera VS.. Robt
Mansfield, judgment by confession
b. Terasera VS.. Sampson Mansfield,
pending hearing.
The criminal business before his
Honor consisted of couple of seances
for the benefit of peace and good order,
First came Linton Lyons, colored
citizen Of the Fourth Ward, and a no.
toriouS offender against the peace and
dignity of the State, who was brought
before the court for kicking up muss,
which resulted in Lyons being placed
under a peace bond and footing the
bill for his fun.
Next came Miss Irene King, a col
ored damsel of unsavory reputation,
who was coralled by Constable Lyons
on complaint of one Lille Porter,
another lady of color, charged with
fighting and disturbing the peace.
After hearing the evidence his Honor
came to the conclusion that it would
be advisable to put a restraint on
Miss Irene's pugilistic hanckerings
by placing her under peace bond,
which was furnished, and the gay and
festive Irene, in order to be on the
safe side, left for the Lone Star State
the day after her release.
