g HOUSE NOTES.

With a few exceptions, as will be
be seen further on in onr notes, the
sugar harvest is about finished. The
sugar harvesters are to be c%Ongratu-
lated on the generally good and fine
weather throughout the grinding sea-
son in this and adjoining parishes,
and every stock of cane has been say
ed without being affected by ice or
lack frost itss true that the heavy
freeze of this week has killed to the
ground the little amount of standing
cane, but it will all be saved before
fermentation will affect the saccllarfne
matter, and ready for shipment.
In our tour down the Lower Lafour-
che, on both sides of tie Bayou, we
gathered the following slgar-house
items which we hope will prove inter
esting to our many readers.

brothers cultivate each separately,
and grind each every other week in
the same sugar-house which they own

through first. making about 1854 900
lbs of graduated sugar, while his
brother Paul got through several days
later. about the 18th inst, realizing

syrup which they shipped to Grace
land" plantation to be converted into
refined sugar.

house on this place was burnt down
on Sunday night, the 18th inst, hav-
ing some 80 or 40 arpents Of cane

a million lbs. of sugar from syrups
made, and had granGlated at Grace

just before reaching L%ockport we
stopped in at "Lake View belong
