Mr.. Bernard was forty-seven
years of age; born at Beau Basin in
this parish, a place selected by his
grand parents as their abode, when
they came to this country as exiles,

and young girls horseback riding
a few days ago. 1t was as pleasing
a sight as your correspondent has

Louisiana, it is no unusual thing,
when roads are good, and weather
fair, to see ladies and gentlemen
enjoying a ride in the saddle, agree
able to themselves and a pleasure
to others.
