Port Barre.

Feb. 1Sst, 1895.
Last week we had the most severe
snow storm ever known in Louisiana,
the storm lasting forty-eight hours.
Snow fell to a depth Of three feet. The
snow-clad earth and trees was as grand
a sight az ever greets the eye.
Rev. Father Andre, accompanied by
his sister, Mrs. Cogniez, are leaving to-
day to spend a few days in Jeanerette.
Port Barre has had no news since last
Tuesday, the mail being unable to come
owing to the snow.
Mrs. Numa Robin, of Leonville,
spent a few days in Port Barre last
week as the guest of her mother, Mrs.
D. P. Saizan.
Mr.. C. Hebert, of Opelousas, spent a
few days here last week, being detained
by the storm.
Trip before last steamer j. E. Tru-
deau had to tie up fifteen hours, owing
to a heavy north wind.
Mr.. Oscar Melancon, formerly of Ba-
you Lafourche, lately moved on Waxia,
where he intends to run a rice farm.
The Misses Melanc0n, Eula and Belle,
have been the guests of their cousin, Miss
Aline Melancon, of Bayou Teche.
Chicot, l hope you are not buried in
the snow and We will have the pleasure
of bearing from you as of yore.

strong and hardy enough to stand the
cold spell.

AROUND THE EMPIRE PARISH.
The Snowy St. Valentine.
Bayou Chicot, Feb. Is, 1896.

Bayou ChlcOt, Feb. III, 1898.
We stood on the upper balcony of our
residence on st. Valentines morn, 1895,
and viewed tho surrounding landscape
with startled wonder, for never did we
behold such beautiful and picturesque
scenery, as was presented to our view.
The lofty old oaks and stately cedars,
almost a century old, are wrapped in a
mantle Of snow the like of which is
unparalleled in the annals of our short
lives, and in the history of Louisiana.
And we think the Host weird scenery
that is presented W our observation, is
a small cluster of pine trees that stand
singly and alone a short distance to the
Of the old Murdoch family now repose ;
pure and spotless as the snow that en-
shrOuds their last resting place this
beautiful st. Valentine.
Had we but the pen of a poet to aes-
cribe the cenery that is almost sub
lime in its grandeur Of appearance, we
could write page after page, and yet
could never do justice to what we now
behold. And had we the power Of the
painter it would be our greatest delight
to transfer to canvas the scenery that
surrounds this picturesque old home. to
preserve as a souvenir of this remaka-
BILE st. Valentines day. We have read
of scenes in the bleak distant North,
similar to this, and have almost heard
in Imagination the merry sleigh-bells
and gay laughter Of a party of young
people as they go dashing along; and
we wish that we could enjoy a like
pleasure this morning with our school
mates and young friends. AS the day
grows older the scene becomes more
grand and weird every vestige of TO-
liage now wears a shroud, the emblem
of all innocence and purity. We can
now only distinguish objects a short dis
lance from our window. Shall it be our
%fOrtune-or misfortune-to be what is
always dreaded =" snowed in"- we
wonders And who will come to our
rescue
Will a bear through the chimney fall
down on the hoorq
Or a clover" all smiling, come in
through the door,
Will he scrape off the snow,

speculations as to the probable Repnb-

Ohio paper gives o list of preferences
the same old list. by the way-McKin-

now and then a j0cose mention of
Foraker. There is no speculation what
ever as to the Democratic nominee. As
far az the Democracy is concerned, the
convention might be a dozen years of.

President Cleveland promptly nom
mated Gen. Schofield to be lieutenant

the bill restoring that grade to the

with congratulations.
