For . week We have been wrapped
up In our winter shrouds- cloudy,
rainy and most disagreeable north
west winds. The leaves Of our trees
are flying in every direction and the
ground is . perfect carpet Of yellow
tint.
Our hunters are having . good
time slaughtering robins, ducks,
poulets d'eau and squirrels; but
they are complaining about the lit
tie urchins (black and Whitley who
infest our forests; boys from eight
to fourteen years old are forging
the woods from morn till night with
either six foot musket or . wired
or twine-tied gun, not destroying
but frightening the game away.
One cannot travel . quarter Of .
mile without meeting . couple Of
them together-o:e with . fowl
ing piece the other playing ''dog."
We noticed two Of them yesterday
one with q heavy musket. They
were attempting to shoot . wood
pecker on . pine tree. The gunner
raised his gun and fired. He WAS
laid upon his back and his compan-
ion rushed to the foot Of the tree,
tearing bushes and his clothes, to
hunt up the game, which was not to
be found. Our hunters want . rem
edy for this nuisance-for nuisance
it is. Well, gents, the only way d
to do - other parishes have done
form yourselves into . club. There
are enough Of you here, and I have
no doubt that from the remotest
part Of St. Tammany parish you viii
get members who win uphold your
move and be glad to join in assist
ing to squash this untold evil.
Stick together and You are certain
of success. At an early day call .
meeting and organize, and when the
Legislature meets apply to your
Representative. He il . man Of
nerve and knows all about this nuis-
ance, and you can depend upon his
having such laws enacted - win be
satisfactory to al. II not attended
to properly, in . couple Of years We
will not be able to have even .
thrasher to eat.
The schooner Depre Bros. azIiv-
ed yesterday and unloaded . full
cargo Of merchandise for her own
ers.
The same firm shipped by steam
er Camelia to New Orleans 5, 900 he
Of lake wool, and that wide awake
Alphonse has completed his cat-rig-
ged boat and will, at an early day,
wet it. 1t has been given the name
Of "Gussie.
At VIM. Peters business 10 brisk
in the moss line; and we must con-
graduate Mr.. and Mrs. Peters upon
the happy advent to them Of rosy
little cherub in the shape Of . ''fat
boy"
Around the corner 1t the ''Pig 4
WHISTLE" everything looks bright,
only we have missed the smiling
countenance Of "Alex," who has
been under the weather . few days,
suffering from a bad cold. "Warm
up, friend, for your customers miss
YOU"
Ribava and Levy left for the city
to-day to replenish their stores.
Our bakers are resting upon their
summer laurels, but Charley Faver-
on is increasing his custom every
day.
Our hotels are lingering; our
hack drivers are starving their nags
doing naught; the farmers are bust.
ly engaged in planting al sorts Of
vegetables for winter use the boys
are whiting, while the young las
sizes (bless their sweet fngers) are
quilting for their papas and mamas.
"Bob," of the exchange, win next
week open an oyster stand, adjoin-
ing his coffee house, where, at al
hours, anyone win be able to get
oysters raw, stewed or fried. This
will be quite . luxury to visitors
and others.
Town Marshal "Buddy" does not
believe in the motto, ''root, hog, o.
