we wish to call the attention of the friends
and patrons of the COURIER to the necessity
ef their being on the alert, in the matter of
indicial publications. tsheriff's sales especial
IN, as neglect on their part to give positive
Instructions as. to where they desire such
adgsrtlsement published, is apt to result in
onr being deprived of the patronage that
would otherwise be given to us. The sheriff
pf this parish has been making himself es-
pecaIly jealous in the matter of securing
shsriffs sales for the paper os which he is
director and stakeholder, and several publca-
lions of that nature have appeared in that
paper which the parties interested would
have selected to be done in the COURIER, had
they been consulted; and others have been
diverted from us at the special solicitation of
the sheriff or his deputies serving the papers
Id the matter of seizures
10 those who prefer tn patronize any other
paper in this parish we have no desire to in
Eerfere with their preferences, but our friends
Who wish to favor us with their patronage
are earnestly requested to see that the proper
.efieers are instructed to have the publication
done i'm the CoURIER-and they are especially
Harned against allowing themselves to be in-
daced to consent that the advertisement
eheHld be done in some other paper.

Mad Cow,

Dr. SAnte's attention was called To
case df fhydrophobia in a mich COW.
which occurred in town one dav last
week One Perrault, colored, called
10 consult him, in behalf of his children
who had drunk the milk of the cow.
drawn from her few hours only. be-
lore she gave convincing signs of mad
ness. Ierrault stated to the DIR. that
a snort time before, dog came along
acting suspiciously, and while passing,
seized his COW by the nose and held her
IN his teeth for considerable time.
She at last succeeded in throwing him
Off, but not without showing signs of
great pain. The dog left, and so far
as Perrauit is concerned has not been
heard from since. Perranlt's family
continued to milk the COW, and To use
the milk. On Saturday or Sunday last
she proved to be mad. Her actions all
showed it. He killed her.
Her carcass was hauled ont on the
commons, and it may be supposed the
dogs devoured it.
Now the question with the anxious
father is, will the drinking of the cows
milk on the very eve of her becoming
mad, poison his family? This must
necessarily cause him great anguish
and anxiety. The DR.. fully appreciat-
ing the importance and gravity of the
question, Immediately set about ex-
amining the possibilities and probabili-
ties. He informs us that four standard
medical authors have been consulted
and that it is their common and har-
monious experience and opinion that
the mere taking of the milk, or, even
the saliva of rabid animal, in tll7
stomach will not produce hydrophobia
We believe it to be a settled theory
among physicians, that, if the poison
GUS saliva be kept out of the eircula-
ton, the disease, does not follow. Not.

cal opinion Oh the subject, the little

of Incubation, or recrudescence, gives
rise to the most painful apprehensions

The Town Talk il right when it says
Democrats want fair elections. We re-
member too we'll the days when the
Democracy of Louisiana elected her
governors, her legislators and her con-
gressmen but were counted out by Re-
publican returning boards. We re-
member how vehe1nently these acts of
villainy were denounced by an outrag
ed people. Can Democrats now, with
complacency, close their eyes and,
without murmer of condemnation
permit men who claim to be Democrats
to perpetuate their power by either re-
electing themselves or naming their
successors through agencies once con-
demned az m outrage upon the sacred
rights of American citizenship Con-
sistency appeals to every tfne Demo :
cratin the State of Louisiana to re-
cord his voice and to vote in favor of
an honest election law, and the faith

four of the members abstained from

There was not even the fimsy . for

due to Mr.. Boagni as 0gell as to the

Edward Dubuisson.

The people of st. Landry have been
called npon to lay at rest another of
their very best citizens.
That good man, Edward Dubuisson,
than whom no one was more esteemed,
suddenly passed away on Monday
last, at his residence on Bayou Beuf.
We are informed that he awoke about
5 o'clock and seating himself on the
side of his bed, called to Mrs. Dubuisson
for a toddy. He stated that he was
not feeling we'll. She told him she was
preparing cup of coffee for him. and
that one of the children would prepare
the toddy There was no delay in do
ing so, bnt when he was approached
to be served sYith the toddy. he had
fallen Oh his back on the bed and could
not be aroused. Tn this condition of un-
consciousness he remained until death
relieved him. The shock to his family
was irresistible, and the people of the
entire parish feel that they have lost
a most admirable contemporary.
His remains were inferred with those
of his father and mother, in the Roman
Catholic Cemetary of this place. As o
clCiZeHs n6lSnDeF, fFichu, sts u huseahu
aud father no man was more highly
esteemed. His entire life has been an
example of honor, virtue and sobriety.
In early life he formed a plan of living,
from which he never tleviated, but
moved on nprightly and with dignity
through every environment down to
the moment h0 was seized III the re-
lentless and merciless grasp Of appo-
plexy.
He leaves wife and some children
who are amply provided for in all, save
a loving husband and kind father.
We tender them our sympatiiits.
