DRAINAGE.-Mr. L. j. Caillouet.
residing some 6 miles below here
on the Lafourche, was iu town a
few days ago. and reports that the
citizens in Drainage District No. 3
have voluntarily assessed them
selves $500 per arpent front, for
the purpose o: raising funds to con
tInue the work OF cleaning out the
Bayou in the rear Of their planta
tlons as far up liz the railroad in
the rear of Lafourclle Crossing.
There were only two or three
miles to be cleaned to reach that
point, which is, perhaps, now com
pleted.
This will give the water an open
and clean passage from the rail
road to Lake Fields. The open ing
is far from being wide enough to
transport the water as rapidly as
desired, but sufficient has been
done to prove the practicabilitv Of
drying the immense swamps be
tween the Lafourche and Blue Ba
yous, and restoring them to useful
PURPOSES. Mr.. CailIoupt thinks
that had it not been for the work
already done, the water in the rear
would have been 5 inches higher
during the late rainy weather
than it was.

Spain, is OH the way home, with Il

treaty, repeating the duty on sugar,

was to be sneaked through the Sen
ate, whilst Blaine, Logan & Co.,
were running over the land. speak
ing themselves hoarse, in an effort
to prove that the Republican Par
ty was the only party that had any
friendship tor the sugar interest,
aud to establish the assertion that
they were the people to protect su
gar growers:
What devilment this man Foster
is up to now, time will disclose.
However, the attempt to sneak
commercial treaties through the Sen
ate, without the consent or knowl
edge of tho people met with such a
cool reception in 1884, that It is
not likely that Fosters secret eff
forts will amount to much.

Judge L. Collin, from lower La

urday. The Judge had Il drawing
of the new belfry lately erected at
the Catholic Church, near Harang

CANT one, and reflects credit upon
the progress and enterprise OF the
inhabitants of that part of La

A few years ago there was not a
semblance of a church below Lock

The first of these exploits was
made by negroes, the latter is be
lieved to have been occasioned
by white boys or men.
Such conduct Is simply shameful

tors of such actions, ana bringing
them before the courts, where they
will be taught Il salutary lesson.
