DIED.
Louis LeBeau.

Sunday morning last Mr.. Louis
LeBeau, who had come here from
New Orleans to pass few weeks
for his health, was preparing to
go to church, when all at once he
felt weak and sick and was taken
with fits. The priest and q ply
stefan was sent for; but alas! his
end had come, and, neither sci
once or prayers could prolong the
life of the unfortunate young man,
who, for many long years, was the
sufferer of an illness that proved
incurable. He died within an
hour.
His friends and relatives left
here with his remains at one
o'clock Monday morning, by land
for New Iberia to take the MORN
ing train for New Orleans, in
which city his family reside.
Louis had been here since a
few weeks, he found the climate
of this place more suitable to his
disease than the city. He was a
good hearted boy, and though suf-
fering, was a pleasant and amia-
bic companion. He was always
good, kind, amiable and attentive
to every one, and was liked and
esteemed by every one who came
in contact with him to appreciate
his noble character and gentle
manners.
His untimely death has cast a
shadow Of gloom over this entire
community, who sympathize pro-
foundry with his bereaved parents.
