We were favored with a call
by Mr.. &. F. Morrell a few days
ago. He had just returned from a
visit to Bayou Des Allemands,
where the fishing business is as
Stunning considerable proportions.
The bayous and bays in that local
ity abound with the most tooth
soome fish and number Ofpersons
have engaged in the business of
catching aud shipping. On the
day Mr.. Morrell left, there were
shipped by express to New Orleans
eighty-one barrels, which finds a
ready market at good prices. This
is very suggestive and shows what
we could do here had we the COM
mercial canal which has been so
much talked Of. With it in oper.

On Saturday night last, word
was brought to officer Paul
Hebert that one, Frank Smith col
ored, an escaped prisoner wanted
for various crimes, was at saloon
back Of town. Mr.. Hebert prompt
ly repaired to the place and saw
the party who bore such strong
resemblance to the party wanted
that the officer proceeded to arrest
him, calling upon him to surrender
and throw up his hands to which
he paid no attention. On the con-
trary, he became very abusive to
the officer and attempted to shoot,
whence Mr.. Hebert fred a shot al
him, which took effect near the
heart, killing him instantly. Mr.
Hebert Immediately reported to
the Sheriff and the matter will be
looked into. 1t turns out that
the party was Frank Metcalf in
stead Of Frank Smith, the resemb.
lance being so perfect that anyone
might be mistaken. The affair is
unfortunate and to be regretted,
but no blame attaches to MIR. He
bert who was manifestly in the
discharge Of his duty as an officer
and within the purview of the law.
