Disarming an Unseen Foe.

This was sometime a paradox" as
Hamlet says. Since, however, the people
of America and other lands have been
enabled to pit HOstetter's Stomach Bit
tiers against that unseen foe, malaria, it
is no longer paradox, but an easy pos
SibilIty. Wherever malaria evolves its
misty venom TO poison the air, and de-
caying unwholesOme vegetation impreg-
mates the water, there, in the very strong
hold Of niasma, is the auxiliary potent
to disarm the foe and assure efficient.
Fever and ague. bilious remittent, dumb
ague and ague cake, 10 matter how ten
aciously they have fastened their clutch
on the system, are first forced to relax
their grasp and eventually to abandon it
altogether. But it is its preventive force
that should chiefly recommend the Bit
tiers to persons dwelling in malariac urs-
ed localities, for it Is a certain buckler
of defense against which the enemy is
pOwerless. Cures, likewise, dyspepsia,
rheumatism, kidney and bilious ailments.

Obituary..

On Sunday last gloom spread over
this community at the announcement of
the death of Jean Bapliste EugDe Du-
champ. which sad event occurred on the
plantation of his son, Z. A. Duchamp.
in this parish at 10 80 clock pm. Saturday
the 22d inst, at the ripe old age of 81
years and 10 months. The late Mr.. Du-
champ has resided in st. Martinville for
over f.ty years, engaged until lately in
the business of Apothecary. Among his
fellow citizens he was highly prezid as a
Scientific and deeply yersed man and
withal gifted with an inventive genius
His noble charities have left an endear
ing sentiment enshrining his memory
with the love of the poor of this cOmmu-
nifty. The good Samaritan would supply
their wants. sympathize with and pro-
t,ct them in their sulferings. To the
first Fire Company that was raised here,
the presented beautiful Engine. "He
who giveth to the least of these giveth
unto me" men of that stamp of Chara-
ter was an honor to Christianity. 1t is not
to be surprised that at his death gloom
spread over community who had for
these many years enjoyed his manifold
kindnesses. To his son, < A. Duchamp
and family, Louis {. Duchamp and fami-
ly. and the family of Athur Liable, we
tender our warmest spmpathies at their
bereavement Of their venerated parent.

Be it further resolved; that a copy of
these proceedings be published in the
Breaux Bridge Union, and that a copy be
sent to each member Of the Police Jury.
We would have nothing to say in this
matter, il the people of Breaux Bridge
had not been given the satisfaction of
having the sense of the people of the
parish in this matter few years ago.
They know that Trey have no just or
reasonable claim, to the court house, and
therefore, have no reason to protest "a
gainst the action of the police jury, in
promoting and preserving the interests
of the people of the whole parish.
These people are inconsistent with
themselves. they threaten to resist, if We
understand them, the regular tax, claim
ing that the parish is in debt, the crops
are bad ETC., and at the same time speak
Of the removal Of the seat Of justice
which would entail an expense of some
thing like $4,000 or $4,000, which a
mount would have to be levied by special
tax, and which would be terrible and
heavy burden on our people for at least
ten years. Our present taxes are heavy
enough, and We do not believe that the
people would vote upon themselves tax
which would double the amount they
pay now. And the incest part of it, is,
neither the people residing in the cOrpOr-
ations of Breaux Bridge and St. Martin
vile would have cent to pay for the
transfer. Oh no. this would be too heavy
upon them; but the planters will stand
the bill. they are hard working people
and have not much sense and will vote
it upon themselves!
This is great mistake. the planters
are up to the standard and understand
their interests and in the future will do
what they did in the past,-kill any such
bill if ever brought again before them.
