Written for the Echo.
THE BRIGHT NEW YEAR.
BY y. L. R.


Now the New Years Just arrived,
And it's Eighteen Hundred and Eighty Five
The tolls and trials Of the past,
Are forever gone, at last
And while our new work must begin,
That Of Eighty-Four shall end.
Adieu. old Eighty Four, adieu,
We have no further use for you
IT'S true, you once did serve us WELL
Your many faYorB we ne'er can tell,
But Nature, now, alas defies,
That we should longer hold our ties.
Bright prospects Elghty-Five proclaims,
With evil killed, and good regained;
Great error of the past we shun,
A bright career has just begun.
Let all energy revive,
To notify fair Eighty-Five,a
Our vices die, our virtues live,
And all misdoings we forgive
With heart and hand entwined as one,
And traits as brilliant as the sun, -..s
Wen seek our welfare, far and near,
And heap bright crowns on this New Year.
Before the close Of Eighty-Five,
While many loved ones still survive,
No doubt our hearts shall throb and break,
As with sudden mighty quake,
Der friends and relatives SO dear,
That's passed beyond this mortal sphere.
Let our earthly work progress,
And reap the richest Of success
But let It meier abstract our minds
From heavens bright love we should enshrine;
But NAV our hearts e'er lead to Him,
The spotless Lamb, Who's free from sin.
And ere the New Years close shall come,
Though many will have drifted home,
IL we are spared, may we fulfill
Our works to please the Lords good Will,
And may we His great favor find,
To share His worldwide love, sublime.

Old CaAeasieM Booming

The Calcasieu river has been higher
during the week, than for many years.
1T is said our log men have been quite
unfortunate in consequence Of from
10000 to 20, 900 saw logs having gene
adrift. Often in the past, we have
called attention to the Importance Of
organizing boom company, but no
action has ever been taken Of tangi-
bic nature, and we think the above
loss is argument enough for the pres.
cut, in favor of organization.

sapreme Court Decision.

We copy from the recent decisions
OF this Court the following decision,
because we think ii a matter of i'm.
portanee in our community:
No. 9253-L Dorestan Dalcour VS..
Z. McCan, ct a.-Appeal from the
Civil District Court, parish Of Orleans.
The holder, by transfer of tickets, con.
sisting of paste boards, bearing no
date and no promise to pay, but fig
ures calling for an amount of money,
issued to plantation laborers for labor,
issued by one of the partners without
the knowledge of his copartner, can
not recover against the latter, in de-
fault of proof of actual indebtedness
by the partnership to each of his trans
ferers, of bona tfde transfer from the
original creditor to him. Labor tick
cts thus issued are not written evil
denees Of indebtedness binding on the
alleged debtor, and the indebtness of
the planter must be proven by compe-
tent evidence. Judgement reversed.

PIKEyILLE, La, Dec. 90, 1884.
Editor Lake Charles Echo:
At the close Of another year, let MS
thank you for your constant kindness
in the visits you make us weekly. We
count il no little matter to hear from
you once every seven days. Nothing
occurs in your vicinity which does not
interest us. We feel pleasant on see
ing our old friends names in print.
We have observed with pleasure the
gradual progress Of Lake Charles and
Caleasieu parish.
In this parish, the business is about
over. The crops were short and
amount of trade limited. The season
unusually pleasant. On yesterday, and
on last night, we had very heavy rains.
The river here (Alexandris) rose be-
tween ten and fifteen feet during the
last twenty-four hours. Aside from
this great rainfall our locality is quiet,
as usual. Pineville is improving some.
The Baptist congregation have built
a house Of worship here, which is
about completed. The building is
quite neat and attractive.
Prohibition is a decided success.
We are, for the most part, hugely
satisfied with results. We believe the
expediency is more popular than ever
before.
Wishing you great success, | am,
Yours truly, A. p, S.

SuGARTowN, La, Dec. q, 1884.
To the Lake Charles Echo:
Notwithstanding the threatening
phenomenon of bad weather, and the
Intense cold prevailing on the 25th
inst, we, of this vicinity, passed an
agreeable and pleasant Christmas, in
which all concerned partook freely of
the miFthfVl sports characteristic of
this notable anniversary and in which
all, both old and young, so gratui-
tously intermingled their social desires
aud 50 beautifully supplied their
healthful appetites Of the physical sys.
ten, that many days hence they will
no doubt reflect upon it with a bright
remembrance Of past pleasures. OF
course, refer to . social festival,
which we consider q very prominent
source of real and innocent delight.
This was given by Mr.. James Sim
mons and wife, and conducted 10 such
a style as could be surpassed BY none.
1t was first spoken Of as a dinner for
the children, and for the entertain
ment Of the school going on at this
place but its congeniality to the So
cial sentiments Of the surrounding
community soon revealed the Proprie-
ty Ut extending wider invitation; 50
its boundry was enlarged, and the en-
tire neighborhood hidden welcome.
The day was one of bliss and mirth,
everything passing off to the satisfac-
tiou Of all. need not speak Of the
absence Of whisky, though It Is fre-
quently employed as . supporter of
pass-time, for indeed it would be al
most impossible TO desire such moral
and agreeable entertainment as vas
witnessed upon this occasion, where
this vile curse to civilization was in
dulEed 10. But perhaps i would be
besf 10 retain orr views awhile longer
on this subject, "a they might NEE.
With disapproyaI among the popular
element. So few Of our preachers
seem to think. Respectfully,
ID. j. II.

The Fire at West Lake Charles

West LAKE CHARLES, Jan. 5, 's5.
Editor Lake Charles Echo
] am sorry that my first letter from
this place should be the chronicle of
eondagration the house of Mr.. John
Harlow having burned to the ground
last Saturday evening. Our good
people turned out in full force, both
sexes, and of all ages, not to look idly
Oh, but to work with an energy, en-
tbusiasm and system ! never saw sur
passed. | saw delicate and refined
ladies rush into rooms already partial
ly developed in flames, and seize some
small article which had been over
looked, which they never reiinquished
until borne to a place of safety. Mr..
Harlow's loss is not heavy, when we
take into consideration the rapid man
ner in which his household goods
were removed. Ny history would not
be complete were TO neglect telling
you of peculiar incident of the FIRE.
Mr.. Harlow's mother, whom he had
not seen for ten years, and who was
totally unacquainted with his family,
arrived on the train the same instant
the house was discovered to be in
flames. She Immediately Joined the
crowd of workers, and did good SER
vice. 1t required considerable exer-
ton to save the engine house and
tank, but, headed by Mr. Harlow, our
good citizens saved the railroad pro-
perty for which goodly act We will
perhaps be rewarded by seeing the Ex'
position rates raised another cent or
two per mile. God speed the day
when LouisiaDa's Legislature will be
free from the corrupt influences Of
corporations.

The reappointment Of Mr.. Reid, the
present incumbent of the Assessors
Office, is good one. However, in
filing the position, in this parish, the
Governor could not have made bad

were gentlemen of our best citizens,
and consequently could but have made
a good choice from among them.
