A Washington special of the l4th
inst, to the Times Democrat, says {:
"Commissioner of Agriculture Cole
man has just received a letter from
Congressman Gay asking that the de
parLment make Investigations as to
the best remedy for charbon, which,
be says, is very fatal to the large mum
bers of mules and horses in Louisiana.
Mr.. Coleman replied that the disease
had been thoroughly Investigated so
far as relates to its nature and causes,
and that some methods of prevention
had been proposed in Europe, which
did not appear to be practicable In
this country. Until the department
has special laboratory facilities no fur
ther Investigations can be made, as
Charlton is readily communicated to
mankind, and it is not considered safe
to bring the virus into building
where SO many people are employed.
Mr.. Coleman further stated that the
0rnitbologieal Bnreau, which has been
recently organized, is quite busy in its
Investigations as to how the devasta-
ton Of rice fields by rice birds can be
prevented. II is estimated that there
is an average Of S7 per acre each sea
son to the rice crop from this cause.
The object Of the bureau is to ascer-
tain what birds are injurious and what
beneficial to the farmer"

S. L. Carey, of Jennings, and Col al

thoroughly written up the prairies of
Southwestern Louisiana have also
been appointed with Prof Knapp as
delegates, and we understand they

will carry with him from this par
ish many samples of fine fruits of
various kinds, also several of the mills
in this section have furnished him
with cases containing specimens Of
the various kinds of lumber sawed
and shipped from this place. Among
these specimens are pieces of the
curly pine, which has already attract
ed good deal of attention in the
North. Prof. Knapp informed us that
he would carry with him several boxes
of earth cut to the depth of two and
half feet, and set in boxes just as il
was taken from the ground, with nat
ural grass growing on top and glasi
on one side SC that the diferen
stratas of earth may be seen. Tbt
Minnesota State Fair will meet at tn,
same time and place, and twill be tbs

BUILDING ASSoc717Y0N

Never in the history of Lake
Charles has there been more auspi-
cious occasion for The organization Of
building association than the present,
Our town Is fast filling up with people
from all sections Of the country.
Houses 10 let are scarce, and at pres.
ent il is almost impossible to find a
vacant one, which, as a matter Of
course, occasions great Inconvenience
to strangers arriving in our town who
desire to locate among us. To avoid
all this, there is no expedienL more
available than the formation of a
building association. BY this means
many Of the poorer class of our eiti-
gems, by taking stock in the associa-
ton, instead Of renting, could become
property holders in few years, and
that, too, with about the same outlay
of money they are now paying in
rents. For instance, a man paying
$40 per month rent for four years
pays out of his hard earnings 1870
an amount sufficient to purchase a
comfortable little home-for which he
receives nothing only the privilege of
living in and taking care of another's
property. Now suppose this tenant
had been member of a building asso-
citation, and had awaited himself Of the
bnildiug clause, would he not have
saved this $3.50 by paying his rent to
his association, and thereby have Sc
cured home. Since writing the
above we are reliably informed that
steps have been taken to sconsummate
this much to be desired project.

Ats:l5 o'clock, last evening, whilst
Operator Woolfero was seated on the
gallery in front of the Chiefs office,
smoking his pipe to keep mosquitoes
away, be heard call for all stations
from the Seventh Precinct. He re-
sponded and was soon busily engaged
in receiving message about little
girl named Leila Weymouth, who with
her infant sister, Alice, aged 2 months,
had been missing from her home, at
No. 1850 Magazine, near Berlin street,
since $50 O'Clock, last evening.
Lost children are so common to the
police that none ever cause more than
a passing thought. They'll be found
sometime thought Mr.. Woolfero, and
resuming his pipe returned to his seat
on the gallery.
At about 1I:30 O'Clock last night he
received call from the Seventh Sta
.tion, and q report was forwarded to
the effect that the bodies of Della and
alice Weymouth had been found in a
well in the Jefferson or upper Maya
zine Market
When the children were missed the
mother, Mrs Weymouth, who keeps a
little notion store at No. 1850 Maya
zine street, ran from house to house
in the neighborhood in search of her
children, but no one could give her
any information. She then caused q
telegram to be sent TO all the stations
but still no news came. She was SO
grief stricken at her loss, for they
were her only children and her hus-
band had died but four weeks ago,
leaving her widow with but little
means to fight the battle of life, that
Sergeant Blonin instituted a personal
search. He bethought himself of a
well which is erected at the rear end
of the market, and proceeded thither
at about 1890 o'clock, he saw to his
CONSERVATION that it was open. The
well is about II feet deep, round and
about II feet in diameter Sergeant
BlOnin looked instantly into the mar
row opening and saw a dark object
floating on the water Procuring a
long pole and fastening some strong
fish hooks TO the end, he thrust the
poll into the well and drew up the
body of Leila. Soon afterwards the
body of Alice was recovered and the
bodies were then conveyed to the resi-
dence of Mrs. Weymouth, who was
almost insane from grief. This morn
ing the coroner held an inquest on the
bodies and this afternoon they will be
land away to rest forever A more
heartrending scene to witness than
the deep distress of the mother can
not be well imagined.-N. 0. CHro~-
icLe, It'll inst
These two little unfortunates were
the children of the late Rev. Il. c.
Weymouth, whose death we chroni
cled but a few weeks ago. Mr.. w
