bers too numerous to mention. In
the beautiful beehive made by Mr..
Wetzell is found 32 different kinds Of
wood. 1t was made in Ouachita
parish and was on exhibition at the
Worlds Fair in New Orleans. Our
tiubers are especially suited for fur
niture. We have the red gum III
large quantities. Our creeks, rivers,
lakes and bayous abound with fle
fish. Our sell is of that kind. and
climate SO mild, that corn planted in
February will never fail to make AL
average crop. Horses, cattle and
hogs are raised without feel, except
the mast, cane and grass they get in
the woods. Almost every year the
hogs are sufficiently fat to be slaugh-
tered in the wooda, after running
upon the mast.
We wait immigration; that class

home.
We have a railroad running nearly
through She center of our parish from
east to west We also have two other
roads in contemplation, one to pass
nearly through the center from north
to south and another ON tho eastern
border of our parish. The last
named roa is to build q levee across
what - known as Beuf Cut OF.
Deuf river meanders from northeast
to southwest with It's general course
through tho center of the parish and
IS navigable through the winter
season, thus enabling the farmer to
market his cotton by boat or secure
better terms from the railroad. Gao
it be denied that we have one OF the
). best parishes in the State?

Tom Forsythe, son Of the Sheriff
Of Panel: county, Texas, at CorthaSe,
Texas, IS the murderer OF County
Treasurer Hill. The Sheriff, his son
and the United States Marshal were
all hunting for the murderer. The
Marshal suspected young Forsythe,
but he (Forsythe) never imagined
80. The Marshal by several devices.
by cards &c. succeeded in getting a
clue. He was, however, shrewd
enough to keep his council. A
colored barber had been suspected
and MAS in Jail, strong threats of
!, nching. The Marshal winning
some of young Forsytbe's money,
examined aud found blood on it.
When arrested he confessed.
1t is reported that the father, the
sheriff, committed suicide, that the
mother of the son who cammitted
the deed is dangerously sick from
the shock-that the widow of Treas
urer Hill is unconscious.
All due to the use of cards and
,clsiskey. Thirst for gambling.
What fearful lesson! We too often
complain of the dispensation ofProv.
idence. We know not what our dear
children are coming to. No parent
can read the account of the murder
&c. of Treasurer Hill that has feeling
without sadness. All caused by The
thirst for gambling.
The following is taken from aTexas
paper:
The noncbslant manner did not fOrsak'
young Forsy,he, for At the last, after havin'
| been taken 10 the tree whereon he was Il
meet death. he said:
"Don't haul me up, want to die, and tina
quickly. and il you will lot me get on to 'h'
limb will jump Of when you tell me yo'
are ready
I Permission was given him, and climbing
IN. limb he seated himself and asked for
drink Of water. This wss given him, and b.
was told all was ready. He im,rediaie
lear ed from the limb and went to join hi
victim.
The couIy greatly excited over To-
Il, ii, l.s
as regards sympathy for the friends and res
,ives Of both the murderer and his victim
and the fact that justice has been done.
