The Mayor and Board Of Aldermen
failed to meet on Tuesday for want Of
a quorum, but held a meeting on
Wednesday morning and transacted
routine business. Peace and harmo-
ny reigned throughout; in fact 1t
a perfect '1ove-feast," as it were.
1t is so pleasant for brethren to dwell
together in unity.
Mr.. w. M. Canty returned Tuesday
from New Orleans, where he had been
under treatment for several weeks.
We are glad to see him looking so
much better than when he first went
away, and his physician now thinks
he is in a fair way OF being entirely
restored to health again. This is
gratifying to his many friends here.

WEATHER.CROP BULLETIN.
FOR THE WEEK ENDING MAR. 20. q

FOR H WEEK ENDING MAR. 20, '93.
The past week was entirely too cold
for vegetation, retarding its growth
and keeping cane, corn and garden
truck at a standstill. Field opera
tions were also suspended in part in
east and south portions of the State
10y the heavy rains of 10Th.
The rains of the week netted from
n and a quarter inches to three and
a half inches in South Louisiana. de-
creasing in a northwesterly direction
to less than half In inch in the ex-
IRENE northwestern parishes.
Frosts occurred on the 18th. 18th
Il 18th, and some ice formed in ex-
posed localities in the northern and
south central parishes. The effect of
these frostsewas to injure tender vege-
taIion to a limited degree, and to have
a r%etarding effect on the more hardy
vegetation.
| Corn planting has been continued
during the past week despite the
drawbacks in the weather conditions,
and at this date it is probably three
tourtils planted in the northern halt
of the State, while in some sections ii
is mp and looks well. Some little
damage was done to the ne wly sprout-
ed corn by the late frOsts.
The cotton and rice lands are being
prepared, and while little seeding of
these staples has yet been accomplish
ed, the soil at date is in such condi-
ton as to warrant the belief that seed
ing will be general very early in
April. Correspondents report that
some planters and farmers are afraid
of late frosts and that seeding will be
delayed until after April LIST for this
cause.
Additional reports received as to
acreages place them at nearly the
1892 figures for corn aud cotton, with
an increase in the acreage to be de-
voted to and a decrease to rice.
1t is feared that fruit has been
slightly injured in the northern par
lslles by the frosts of the past week
but in the southern parishes the trees
are full of blossoms, and the outlook
is very promising.
Gardens, generally, do not present
as good an appearance us at date of
last report.
Hail fell in several localities on the
10th and 18th, but without any spec
ial damage being reported therefrom.
Labor is reported scarce IN a num-
Der of the northern parishes. due tn
the Oklahoma craze, and farmers and
planters are somewhat hampered in
their field operations by lack of farm
labor.
Warm, dry and sunsl my weather is
required to most benefit agriculture
during the coming week in Louisi-
