The proprietors of the Utopia plan
~tation, near Raceland, have assumed
the authority to remove bridges from
the bitches that cross the public road
in that plantation, thereby denying the
privilege of passage for the inhabitants,
who reside in the Coteau Folse, to the
front. This looks like n pretty high
handed movement, 10 attempt to close
q public road, which has been in use
for more than so years.
The matter is ow in the courts and
it will be seen shortly, whether "a pub.
lie rod can be closed ut the whim O.

Rohinson's great circns was here on
time last Saturday, and gave two per-
fornances. The display of animals
was extensive, and interesting. The
riding being all bareback, was very
good, whilst the trapeze performances,
juggling, &c, were quite ordinary
A new feature was a number of races,
foot, horse, hurdle, monkey, chariot
&c. a new and pleasant feature
A large audience visited the immense
tents at night.
The circus came on cars, the hand
ling of such immense masses OF mate
rial and so great a number of animals
with SO much ease and simplicity, was
a wonderful exhibition of discipline
and management.

Good news !

The dredge boat, in the employ of
the commissioners of the third district
is, and has been for some time, doing
good work. Mr.. ALBERT went down
last Tuesday, and, blew up some of
the stumps that obstructed the way,
and, showed the ease and facility
with which the obstruction could be
removed from the front. This method
will avoid the strain on the boat
requisite to pull up those distractions,
and prevent loss of time required in
their removal.
With the use Of dynamite the road
can be kept free from distractions
thus enabling the dredge boat to
continae steadily in her work.
The dredse now can make from n
to two hundred feet progress daily at
which speed the passage through the
prairie will soon be effected, after
which the work will be easy.

Last Sunday evening an infant son
of Mr.. Rodney Woods, neal Schreiver,
was buried in st Johns cemetery.
The child had died the previous day
in its nurses arms, probably from
heart failure. As the little casket was
placed in its eternal resting place the
fact that death spared not the young
and innocent was plainly proven, aud
the sadness prevailing around the
tomb was an evidence that that great
fact was appreciated by all those
present.

That was a sad funeral ON Tuesday
evening! When one full of years
goes down to his grave, it may be sad,
but it is only an end that all know
must come. But when one, who has
lived only long enough to entwine
himself IL the hearts of father and
mother, of those who love him, of
those who have learned to listen to
his bright and witty words, to answer
his numerous questions concerning
everything that he sees and hears, and
10 look forward to the future, that
his brightness andintelligence foretells,
is taken away forever, then, it is sad
indeed.
Every one loved little Nat, every
one liked to meet and greet his cheer
full and happy smiles, every Il was
ready to return his mirth, and enjoy
the delight that his innocent prattle
gave.
But, alas. like that pretty flower
that buds in the morning, blooms at
noon time, and withers at night, so
has the life of little Nat been. 1t has
come and it gladdened the hearts OF
many, and passed away forever like a
dream of the night. In after years
the memory of the little boy will be
recalled as a vision of the past, his
few years on earth will seem but a
moment of time, but even those who
mourn him to-day, ard place immor-
telles upon his little tomb, will,
through their tears rejoice, that he
has lived, if only for a few days.
In the shades of ST Johns cemetery
he rests peacefully in his silent home
Those who remain, know that they
may go to him, but that he canno'
return to them. Peaceful be his Stun.

On November 10, 1S47, the sugar
can was frozen down into the earth.
Only one or two planters on Bayou
Lafourche, perhaps in the whole state,
saved their entire crop. Large guam
titles of splendid cane were left
standing, to be cut down, plowed
under, or hauled off the field.
The late colonel w. H. Sparks, who
owned the Glenwood plantation, now
belonging to Mr.. Munson, n mile
above Napoleonville, was the only
planter on Lafourche who saved his
entire crop, having winrowed earlier
than usual, and earlier than his neigh

Captain Fisks reports that he has
removed logs &c. out of bayou Lafour-
che. Whether the effect of the work
Of dredging has caused the bayou to
keep a greater depth, or whether the
batture below the ST. Mary Pamela
has been the means OF
keeping the water in a better condi-
ton for navigation. the reader may
determine for himself but that it has
not fallen within 20 inches of the
point usually reached in low water

A Leader in tho Ball Room.

An eminent divine, of great experience in

regard the use of ardent spirits and dauciop,
as two of the influences most hostile to the
soul With great so!emnity, he used to al
iuhe TO the case Of young man. O leader
in the ballroom
To shield himself from the influence Of O.
revival, at that timo in progress, he sought
10 multiply dancing assemblies, and to
not escape Gods judgement, ifho could his
mercies. He was suddenly laid upon bed
of sickness. Death seemed near In awful
distress, he begged for the mercy he had be-
fore despised. When thus borne down, hone
less OF recovery, lie seemed penitent, became
exceeding joyful, earnestly and solemnly
warned his associates, and it was thought by
pious friends most remarkable case OF
death-bcd repentance. But unexpect sdly
he recovered. With returning health his
religion SO rapidly disappeared that the first
thing he did was to persuade bis associates
TO make arrangements for another ball. God
less as they were, they were shocked ut the
proposal but his persuasion ever came their
scruPles. The evening came, aud in the
midst Of the glare and revelry of the ball, he
fell to the floor, as if by the finger of on Of
Tended God, was borne q raving maniac to
bis home, which he had scarcely reache 1
when death sealed up his history for the fina,

firm yet concealed possession Of his soul,
even when death stood by, and friends sup
posed he had forsaken ALL It had been
cherished in early youth, grown with his
growth, and strengthened with h s strength.
Had that youth died when joyful in a
