District Court has been in session
all the week, and cases fixed for trial
have been cleared from the docket
with commendable dispatch. Most of
the cases tried during the week have
been on the criminal docket. Many
convictions have been secured. At
the same time the parish has been put
to large but unavoidable expense by
reason Of the many offenses that have
come up.for trial. 1t will be a glad
day for the taxpayers when the Jail
shall lave been emptied. 1t may be
utepaan to indulge in this idea, but
We still hope that the time will arrive
when crime will be reduced to a mini
mum in this parish.

10 the Honorable Taylor Beattie,
Judge Of the Twentieth judicial
District Court of Louisiana, presid-
ing at the October term (1S88), in
n for the Parish of Lafourche
The grand jurors duly empanellcd
and sworn for the present term of your
honorable court, to inquire into all
crimes and misdemeanors committed
within the body of the parish of La
fourche since the last sitting Of their
predecessors, beg leave to report:
That they have carefully examined
and diligently inquired into all mat
tiers brought to their attention, and
returned their finding in each case in
to court, as per their several partial
reports already made.
Your grand jurors have carefully ex-
amined the common Jail, and are
pleased to say that they have found
same we'll and neatly kept. Some of
the prisoners therein confined COM
planned of not getting enough food,
but their complaints were found, upon
examination, to he totally unfounded.
Even the physical condition of the
complainants showed that they have
been properly cared for.
Your grand jurors have visited the
offices of tie Clerk of Court, Recorder,
and Sheriff, and have found the pub
lie records and documents therein
neatly kept and well preserved and
the offices in good condition.
The Parish Treasurer submitted his
report to your grand jurors, as re-
quired by law, and they have found it
correct, and hereto annex it as part
hereof.
Complaints having been made to
your grand jurors as to the insuficiency
of the surety on the Sherih's official
bond, they have thought proper to in
quire into the matter, and as the re-
suit of their investigation are pleased
to report that the officers, whose duty
it was to examine and accept said
bond, have not been derelict, as each
of the sureties are worth at least
double the amount for which they
have bound themselves.
Complaints have been also made as
to the violation of the game law and
the wanton killing and destruction,
during the breeding season. of cgrets,
herOns and other birds for their plum
age alone, for the purposes Of traffic.
Due Investigation of alleged violations
Of the game law has been made, with
out finding sufficient data to present
anyone. AS to the wanton destruction
of egrets and other birds for their
plumage, your grand jurors recon-
mend the passage of a law to put a
stop to it, al the present course, if
persisted in much longer, will soo1 an
initiate that species of game which
still affords food, in proper season, to
man. Respectfully submitted,

Office chair; he run his .jeweled fingers
through his mass Of tawny hair he
took his golden pen and wrote some
grand and fiery screeds, of wars
abroad, of politics, and of his ~country's
needs he also wrote a touching poem
about a lover bold, who went across
the raging sea to search for cleaning
gold; and how Il maiden waited long
down on the ocean shore, to welcome
him when he returned-who would re-
turn no more. @
The Office hireling came to him, an
ugly youth was he, with freckles scat
tered ON his face, most wonderful to
see; he jerked the press, this hireling
did, he swept the dirty floor, he stuffed
the coal into the stove and did the
other chores. But now his freckled
cheeks were blancl,ed, his voice was
hoarse with fear; he said, "Old Smith,
who weighs a ton, is waiting for you
here; his face is stern, his lips are set,
fear he's come for gore-Oh, master,
shall | let him pass inside your sane

Then spake the editor with pride. to

sounded through the oaken door and
echoed down the hall; it ceased, the
silence came again. aud then a heavy
fall.

Several planters began grinding last
week, and SO far the yield does not
seem to be satisfactory. One planter
stated to us that his sugar is very
light in weight and yields him but a
hogshead to the arpent, while another
states that he is getting a hogshead
and a half to the arpent. 1t is rather
early yet to forecast results with any
