Ice has become an article Of necessity
in this town, and with the difficulty we
have to get it it comes at quite a high
price. Ii seems to us that the building
of small ice factory in st. Martinville
would prove paying venture.
The magnificent residence of Mr.. Ro-
bert Martin, on mian street. is nearing
completion. When finished it will be
the incest residence in town. and will
add greatly to the appearance of that
locality.
The Clerk of court has surprised good
many jurors last week by deducting
from their warrants their poll tax. The
balance of the amount was paid cash on
presentation of their warrants. The
Clerk has done his duty in that in stance.
and has executed the law. The amount
collected goes to the public school fund.
Fire had taken on the roof of the Saw
mill of Messrs. Gueriniene II Broussard,
Tuesday, from spark and had made
quite headway when discovered. y
few successive blows from the whistle
brought the workman to the fire and it
was soon under control, doing but slight
damages.
1t is astonishing to see the small a
mount of freight brought OH the rcuud
boats for the merchants of this place.
Almost the whole freight that comes on
the boats is for BreauX Bridge. The
merchants here should encourage the
round boats by their patronage if they
want to maintain a low rate of freight.

Mr.. j. b. Ferran, Mr.. Andre Gernaud
and Miss Jeanne Gernaud arrived home
last week after spending nearly three
months at Paris visiting the beautiful
sights of Paris and the grand exposition.
They are well pleased with their trip,
and had huge time while in Paris. They
have the congratulations of their friends
for their safe return.
The Opelou>as Courier says: 1t would
seem to be dangerous to eat partridges
aud other birds at this season, from the
fact that they are liable to be poisoned
from feeding upon the caterpillar dosed
with Paris Green or other pOisOns. We
learn that entire ilocks of partridges
have been found dead in the fields near
town, supposed to have died from the
effects of eating poisoned caterpillars.
The cotton worm has made its appear
ance in almost every section in this par
ish, and has injured the crop cOnsidera-
bly,. Some planters have succeeded very
well with Paris Green. while others have
not had the same success, but we believe
they have used it too late which account
for their not destroying the worm, with
out any damage to their crops, rs we un-
derstand it is necessary TO spri nkte the
poison when the worm is very young,
and it acts like charm. while if used
when the worm is grown the effect of
the poison is slower on full grown
worm than on the young one, and be-
fore the grown worm it killed it, Injuries

AN IMMIGRANT PICTURE.

The For1orn appearance of tho Ordinary
Arrival From Foreign shores.
There is something pathetic about
the shyneSs and forlOrn appearance OF
a newly-arrived immigrant. 1t is
true enough that his bashfulness
wears off rapidly and that he soon be-
comes exceedingly self-assertive and
independent. but on the day that he
arrives at Castle Garden he is so weak
and tired that he hardly dares to ask
question OF strangers. A family OF
Norwegiaus were landed from a
steamer the other day, who were.
perhaps. rather moro timid than the
average immigrants They were an
odd-looking set The father and
mother. both stout and red-faced,
dressed in rough. heavy garments.
had five children. The children
ranged from 4 little girl about five
years old to n numbering. large-limbed
boy of eighteen. The child was 80
terribly overcome by the strangeness
OF her surroundings that she held her
dirty little face pressed close against
her mothers gown whenever any one
looked at her. OF the three other
children. one was 4 tall, awkward
girl, who seemed 10 have lost
her power of speech, and the other
two were chubby-faccd boys. fat and
bealthy-looking. but too difliden: to
look a stranger in the face. tn. whole
family started up town along Broad
way. Each one OF them. except the
youngest. measured the height of
every building with his eye, and the
whole group seemed amazed and
stunned by the sights around them.
The writer happcnc'l 20 walk behind
them as far "a City Hall Park. Here
he lost sight of them. An hour or two
afterwarti, however, lie saw the same
group at Fourteenth street and Broad
way. They had made their way uS
the street in hal! dream. humping
into people ami hrrrying over cross
ings. Where they we're going il would
have been difficult TO tell, for they
asked no questions. Few people, per-
haps. could have understood them had
they done so. They stood there for
some time, evidently in great doubt,
almost in terror. The crowd was
breaking around them. hurrying and
pushing and scattering away. but they
were fScd. the child's face still pressed
against hcr mothers gown. The new
world to them must have seemed at
cha. moment an uninviting. cherries
