The Lake Road.

The citizens of this town will present
at the next meeting of the Police Jury
a petition praying for the opening of a
road from this town to the Lake. passing
near or at Mrs. + Delacroix's 5 plantation.
We have written several articles about
this road and several efforts were
made by some of our citizens and also
by the citizens of the lake section some
years past but these efforts proved fu-
tile.
Now. those who will make another ef-
fort to get favorable action by the Po-
lice Jury, will need the help of the mer-
chants and business people of this town,
as the road will cost about one thousand
dollars, and it is not probable the Police
jury will appropriate that amount. the
balance Of the money will have to be
raised by subscriptions by those interes-
ted in the opening of said road, which
we believe, would prove of immense be-
nefit to the business and trade of St.
Let all work together and secure this
important road.

The Wild Girl of Catahoula
Makes Her Appearance in Rapides

An Alexandria special to the Picayune
says: The "Wild Girl of CatahOuIa' has
turned up again. She has crossed Little
river and was seen last Monday morning
at 10 o'clock by two of our respected citi.
zens, whose veracity cannot be doubted.
Last Sunday Captain j. NJ. Ball large
planter near here. John c, G0nIden, our
leading scenic artist, NJ. W. Calvitt City
Marshal and Charles Cpldenberg, book
keeper at the LevinO lumber yard went
fishing on Clear creek. eighteen miles
from here in Grant parish near the lines
OF Rapides AMI Catahoula parishes. They
returned on Monday night aud sOOn after
it was said that they had seen the wild
girl of CatahOula.
Your correspondent considered il
hoax till to-day when Captain Ball came
to town. He asked Captain Ball about
the sare. who said he was fishing on
Monday when he heard some hogs close
at hand making a noise as if something
had caught their pigs, and he proposed
sed to MIR. Goulden to go with him and
investigate the trouble. They sOon came
to human being staniing on a log with
pig in one hand and short knife i'm
the other getting up OH the log to avoid
the hogs. When she saw tho two gentle.
men about thirty yards eff, she did not
seem to be half as much afraid as they
did. In fact. he said that they started in
the opposite direction first but facing the
creature all the time.
Captain Ball said it was a white fe.
male without clothes and would seem to
weigh about 40 poundi and as active as
cat. When they got off little ways
she took to the bushes close at hand with
pig and knife. He says she was cover
ed with hair varying in length In differ.
ent parts of her.
Messrs. Calvitt and G0ldpnberger 10th
say they saw the tracks Of the woman
and blood of the pig and never saw two
men more frightened.
