The President presented his report
in which he stated that final decis-
ion had been obtained in the suit en-
titled "The Parish of Lafourche vs..
Parish Of Terrebonne" TO designate
the legal boundary line between The
two parishes. The decision of the
District Court of the Parish of rerre-
bnDne was adverse to the claims Of
the Parish OF Lafourche, but after n
full ard impartial hearing in which
the arguments on both sides were able
and lucid, embracing every feature of
the case, the Supreme Court reversed
the decision of the lower court aud
fixed the boundary line precisely as
it was claimed to be by the parish of
Lafourche. The President stated that
much credit was due Hon. Clay kno-
bloch for the energy displayed and
study bestowed in unfolding the mys-
teries by which it was surrounded, and
i'm discovering legal proof that had be-
come almost lost among the records of
the past, which proved that the claim
OF Latourche Parish was just aud COR
| rect.
The thanks of the people of Lafour-
che were also emiuently due to the
late Pierre A. Thibotaux, surveyor
whose researches among the past rec
ords were invaluable in making the
chain of evidence impregnable.
The President stated that the suit
had been conducted in an amicable
ard friendly manner on both sides,
the OBJECT having been to determine,
aud legally settle the dispute forever.
tThis boundary contention had ex-
listed tor many years, previous to the
late war. remember having heard
several prominent citizens speak of
the fact that the residents of Bayou
Blue East side, were in the parochial
limits of the parish OF Lafourche, and
that steps should be taken to estab-
lish their status as citizens and tax
payers of the parish of Lafourche.
They had been paying taxes in the
,, parish Of Terrebonne, voting and 9th
erwise acting as resident citizens ci
that parish.
! The war intervening arrested all at
tempt to legally investigate the uut>-
ton and he status remained the SAINT
until 1879 or 1880.
1t had formerly been the law tha,
proprietors OF lands lying i'll two par
lshes should pay the entire tax in ont
parish, hence the owners of the Aca
dia having lands in both parishes pai,
their taxes in Lafourche, whilst those
possessing property farther cn th'
Bayou Blue, lying on both sides .
that stream, paid their taxes in til,
parish uf Terlebonne.

ever, required that the taxes of al

A Tremendous Shaking Up.

This is what every system afflicted with
chills and fever, bilious remittent, or any
other form of nalarial disease, undergoes
periodically. Not only is malaria terrible
in itseif-it is the breeder OF an intinity of
bodily ailments. Specifics used for its pre-
ventfon and removal prove, in the vast
majority of cases, useless for every other
purpose than to mitigate the disease aud
staye off its attacks. They are sure, with
the average treatment, to return after a
while. The sufferer may change his loca-
ton to a healthier one bat the complaint,
which is in his blood, is not thus lightly got
rid of, and returns after the wonted inter
val. Organic affections of the nerves,
heart trouble, general debility of the sys-
tenn are the offspring of malaria. Cure
the originating cause and avert future
physical injury with Hottetter's Stomach
Bitters, eficaciouS also in liver complaint,
inactivity of the kidneys, rheumatism and
indigestion.

WOLVES IN INDIA.
The tOracious Animals Show Almost
Human Cunning In Their Plans.

Human Cunning In Their Plans.
One strongly marked characters
tic common to dogs and wolves is
their skill In trailing and running
down game, in couples or packs.
Such a wolf hunt in India is de-
scribed by au English traveller, who
while with his telescope watching q
herd of antelope feeding in a large
field, observed six wolves evidently
concerning how best to secure their
breakfast.
Having decided ON their plan OF
campaign they separated, leaving
one stationary, according to Pearson's
Weekly. -Four crept stealthily round
the outer edge OF the field, and one
lay in ambush at each corner, while
the sixth crcpt through q furrow i'll
the middle of the field, and there lay
down unobservcd.
When all We're thus posted, the
first wolf suddenly showed himself,
and, charging the antelopes, drove
them right across the great field,
where they were headed off by another

rection, while the first hunter lay
down to rest. No sooner had the
frightened herd reached the further
end of the plain, than up sprang u
fresh wolf, who again turned them
and took up the pursuit, leaving his
painting accomplish to take breath
preparatory to another chase.
Thus the luckless, terrified ante
lopes were driven from corner to
corner Of the great plain, till stupi-
fled and exhausted they crowded to-
gether, galloping in ever-lessening
circles around the center of the field,
where the sixth wolf lay hidden, ev-
identity waiting till they should
be so effectually tired out as to fall
an easy prey
HIS calculations were, however, at
fault, not having reckoned on the
human presence, and just as he was
preparing for the fatal spring a we'll
directed shot proved fatal to tho
nearest wolf, whereupon all the con-
federates took the hint and scurried
off with all possible speed.
