The Lafayette Regulators.

/ The late outrages in our neigbborins
parish of Lafayette eliminated, OK
Tuesday, by the arrest of eighteen pro.
minent residents of Carencro and i'm.
mediate vicinity, who are charged with
being the ringleaders of the mob who
lately invaded the town of Lafayette
broke into the parish prison, and took
therefrom and lynched a negro mur-
derer. The arrests were quietly made
by Sheriff Broussard and several depu-
ties, and the prisoners Mt once turned
over to detachment of State militia,
which was in waiting with a special
train at the depot at Carencro, and
which at once proceeded to New Or
leans, where The prisoners were COM
mitted to the parish prison for safe
keeping. Atfidavits had been made
against, and warrants issued for the ar
rest Of nineteen, all Of Which were e1s-
cuted, with one exception. The parties
arrested are Ernest Bernard, Martnte
Bernard, Gabriel Dubeau, n. C. Gull
beau, Rosemond Broussard, Adolph
Guilbeau, Bebe Potter, Ursin Pvejean,
simonette Breaux, Castor Blot, Anatole
Breaux, Duplex Breaux, Ernest Gro
chet, Hypolite Hehert, Joseph stayman
Fernand Broussard, Adolph Prejean.
and Goteau Castillo, all white.
The plans for the arrest of these par
ties were most admirably arranged and
carried into execution, and the officers
having charge of the details, as well as
tho people of Lafayette, are to be con-
graduated upon the absence OF the trou-
BILE which it was anticipated would at
tend the attempt to arrest these viola
tors of the law. The seeming necessity |
Of removing the accused to New Orleans
for safe keeping is to be deplored, and !
it is to be hoped that speedy trial may
be granted the accused, and law and
Justice be vindicated.

The ennui Of our town vas broken,
on Tuesday last, by the arrival in our
midst of demented colored woman,
who was taken up by some coIored peo-
pie near Bellevue and brought to town,
where she could be cared for. She made
things lively for awhile around the
courthouse square, but was finally sub
dued aud given quarters in the Jail,
where it was found necessary to shackle
her to the floor to prevent her from
making an indecent exposure of her
person at the window. No clue as to
her identity has been furnished.
Since the above was put in type we
learn that the name Of the poor unfor-
tunate 3 Juretta Berry, whose home is
on the C0urtableau, above Port Barre.

will convey her home, where she can be

Morrow Notes.

The town Of Big Cane is situated
about five miles east of here. Some
time ago the young men of that town
and vicinity, organized base ball Club,
aud last week they were so confident of
their skill and proficiency in playing.
that they challenged the Morrow Club
to play them for a wager, which the
Morrow's at once accepted, and met
them at their home on Sunday after
noon the 26th Instant. Five innings
were to be played for the sum of thirty
dollars, and several outside beta were
freely made, but the visitors defeated
them at the end OF the fourth inning.
So the Morrow boys only played four
innings to their five. Tho feature of
the game was the giant batting of tie
Morrow team, and the costly errors of
the home Club in fielding. 1t was al
most impossible for them to strike the
twir!ing balls pitched by the pitcher of
visiting nine. vi

pect. Corn is made, and the yield will
snppass that Of last year and be suffi-
cient for home consumption. Cotton,
which during the dry spell was con-
sidered "about used up," has improved
wonderfully, and good crop of the
staple is assured. Rice is doing well,
and unless some nntoward event occurs.
the yield will far suppass that of any
