ed as being about feet high and 6 feet
long, entirely white except a black
streak under tine neck extending from

lion in shape. They are q male AMI a

being killed, they had caused great con-
sternation at night among tie stoeE in
that neighbCrhood, aud when il was at
tempted to set the dogs on their travel,
they refused to approach the strange
beasts, Finally after close "a,ei', one
of the mysterious animals was killed,
and for several nights following its mate
was heard iu the vicinity Of the spot
where the animal was killed and skim
ned. and watch being kept Oh the To-

Illegal Convention.
A New Ticket, Vote forlt.

At twelve o'clock Sunday last a
convention numbering about fifty
persons, many from the country
and large number who have not
attained their majority, was held
in this town. The convention was
called by order Of I. L. Brous-
sard, p. d. Olivier and Dan W.
! Voorhies, who claim to be the
members, of the Parish Executive
committee FOR the first ward. But
supposing that they were recogni-
zed as members OF the parish COM
mittee, would that give them the
authority to have anything to do
with the municipal election? They
made call it is true, and it was
signed by good many Democrats
of this town, but The call is illegal,
for the reason that the Parish EX-
ecutive committee was illegally
and irregularly elected at a con-
vention specially called for the
selection of delegates to a Con-
cressional convention and not for
the purpose Of reorganizing the
committee. The call being ire
oular, therefore those who have
signed the call have signed an
irregular paper, and the conven-
ton is i'll consequence null and
void.
If that Parish Committe is vest

people to follow blindly their ille-
gal doings, as a few 10, why have
