THE MAD DOG SCARE.

In the early part of the week the
town was thrown into quite state of
excitement by the report that a mad
dog was running at large and had
bitten several people, besides biting
quite number of stray dogs. Ii
seems that the rabid dog came into
town from out on the lake, and as he
came along The road, he attacked
almost every dog he met. The mar
shall got his gun Tuesday morning and
went the rounds, killing every cur dog
he could find running on the streets.
The Town Council held special meet
ing and instructed The Mayor 10 issue
proclamation ordering people TO
keep their dogs confined for period
of thirty days, under penalty ofhaving
them shot if they were ionnd al large
The proclamation has been generally
obeyed by the people aud the streets
are almost entirely free of dogs.
This is quite serious question
when looked al in its proper light
One rabid dog can come into the
community aud bite probably dozel
or more dogs before the public il
aware of bis condition. AS children
are going back aud forth to schoo
every day, they are in constant danger
OF being bitten by one OF these dogs
The colored people who came int
town in the spring from overfiowet
places left lot of cur dogs here e
run at large. These have been very
numerous aud annoying, but we ar
glad TO state that the shot gun of thu
marshal has pretty well decimatet
them. We hope nothing of a seriou
nature will happen. Ii the people vii
keep their dogs confined for three o
four weeks until cool weather sets II
permanently, the danger will then b
entirely over.

THE RAFT QUESTION.

Elsew here will De seen the resolu-
tions OF the mass meeting held last
Wednesday TO take some steps TO stop
the cutting of timber IN the swamps
for the purpose Of floating them out
in RATS when the next rise comes.
The meeting was large one, being
attended by gentlemen from every
section of the parish. For sometime
past timber men have been busy in the
swamp lands of the parish cutting
logs and getting ready for the high
water. This is very serious question
10 the people. Ii means no more nor
less than the protection Of the parish
from another overflow. The expert
ence % other parishes aud of counties
of our sister state across the river is a
sufficient warning to us. These men,
who have no interests here except III
the logs they have cut, would have no
hesitancy whatever in cutting the
levee somew here SO as to get their
rats out into the river. Take case
for example: Suppose one of these
raft men should cut thousand or
| fifteen hundred dollars worth of logs.
Ii the levees all along The lire were
intact and in good condition, with no
prospect of break, the prospects oil
this raft man for getting his logs out
would be very slim. Under these cir
cumsi ances, would he not think of the
quickest and best means of getting to
the river? Most certainly he would
This being the case then, what would
prevent him from going to some OBJ
scure place along the levee line and
cutting IT in the dead hour of night
Even if these levees here should be
guarded strictly every day and night
he could slip up TO Arkansas and dc
his work there, where there are mile
alorg the line uninhabiied aud total,
unprotected.
The parish subjects itself to grea
danger when il allows this TO go on
and we are glad to see that the peopl'
are determined TO put a stop to II
The people of Mississippi stopped j
in short order, and since then the.
have not had break anywhere ii
their entire line of levee. Promp
action and determination will be tn
only effective way to put stop TO il
We are sure this will be the cours

Guenard,

After inquiring, we learn that the
mad dog that created such a scare
Monday, came in from the lake, aud
attacked both animals aud people a.
he came along the road. He biz a
darkey by the name of Charley Nor
ton pretty badly, and DIR. Bernard
who attended him, says that If the
dog was really rabid, there is great
danger of the man taking hydropho-
bia at an, zine. The dog tore tie
clothes off Of woman on the lake
and we understand ne biz colored
man on Buckmeadow plantation. Tie
came into town aud bi, Marshal Ham
il,on on the leg, but fortunately onl,

coming into town, the dog turned
back and was killed short distance

MIR. J. ID. Tompkins presented us
with large and lucious pomegranate
last Thursday morning. which was
greatly enioyeG by the entire force of

bush that grows right out from the
side of the Clerks office, at least half
q foot from the ground. II is strange
that il can thrive il brick and mortar
as it does. but such is the case. Ii
has no connection with the ground,
coming out from the bricks aud stands
about five feet high. We are at

unless the Clerk manures it with de-
funci succession documents aud di'

LEyEE NEWS.

Last week we heard of considerable
complaints being made against the
Slate engineer in regard to the stand
he took concerning The digging Of the
ditch along the base of The WHY levee.
Ii seems that when work was begun,
this ditch was dug at a distance Of
forty feet from the base of the levee,
under the Instructions of Judge w.
G. WHY, who had it dug at this dis
lance to serve all the better the pur-
pose of draining the base of the levee.
When the State engineer came up
aud Inspected the work, he condemned
the action Of the contractors, claiming
that the ditch should have been sixty
feet back instead Of forty. 1t is said
he stated that, as consequence OF
this. the dirt pu, into the levee out OF
this ditch would be taken out of the
contract altogether aud no pay would
be received for 1t. Should this have
been carried out, it would have been
pretty hard OH sub-coniractors. but
was compromised by the contractors
agreeing to put traverses every 500
feet along the ditch, thus narrowing
| 1t at these points 10 about four feet
wide. As TO the, utility of this idea
we cannot vouch.
On the land side Of the Wyly ievee
where the natural surface was washed
away by the current of the overflow
the contractors are filing up these
places to the proper level again.
1t will be remembered that the pub.
lie was considerably frightened last
spring by the sloughing OF the Haga'
man levee. We understand that this
levee will be greatly strengthened b!
the syndicate. who have il under con
tract. Right in front of Hagamal
break the levee will have thirty foo
crown and the sides will receive con
siderable amount Of dirt. This rel All
l will extend considerable distanc'
both above aud below the break.
4 Work on the embankmeni from
Hagaman levee to WHY'S is progress
ing finely, and the contractors thInl
that they will finish in about tw'
weeks. Along this banquette ditch
being dug by the scrapers sixty fee
from the base, similar to the one alon,
the WHY levee. The public road viii
, be on this bauqueite, which will be
great convenience in the winter ant
spring. The ditch will keep th
base of the levee aud the banquette wei
drained, aud the public are promised
good road.
We are told that outlets from IN
ditch along the WHY leyee have bee
opened up so as TO allow the water 1
