and without price when the fire
fiend is raging. Their laudable
efforts are however often handi-
capped from the fact that they have
no motive power to get their hose
carriage upon the field Of ac-
ton. What they need and badly
is n large, strong horse to draw
their carriage rapidly to the raging
fires. They should be assisted to
this extent by the community and
to that end the Corporation, which
Is already under obligations for
unselfish and valuable services,
should appropriate sufficient funds
to buy this horse, and we hope the
Just demands Of the company will
be complied with. No better in
vestmcnt could be made by our
Getty dads" than presenting the
boys with fine, large equine for
that purpose.

Last Monday evening Noe
Robichanx, son Of Mr. Joe Robi-
chaux of the Petite Anse section
met with horrible accident from
a gunshot 1t seems the boy was
alligator hunting aud while waiting
for them to come to the surface Of
the water was leaning on the gun
with both hands clusped over the
muzzlc and chin resting on his
hands, aud in some unaccountable
manner the gun exploded, badly
lacerating both hands and carrying
away all the lower part of the face
and jaw Drs. King, Sabatier and
Carstens at once repaired to the
place and gave what assistance
they could, taking off three fingers
of one hand and two fingers of the
other, also removing the lower
jaw.

Last Monday night the store
Of Messrs. Smith, DeBlanc &
Suberbielle was entered by sneak
thieves through the skylight. The
parties letting themselves down by
ropes. Just what damage was
done is not known as in the large
stock it is impossible to tell, but
on tho following day about 500
worth of dry goods was discovered
in the Lee cotton gin near the
depot, which was promptly re-
turned by an old colored man. On
the same night and in the same
manner, the store of Mr.. }.
w. Eckart, the jeweler, was en-.
tered, he states the thieves took
gold watch and some trinkets but
nothing else. They went to the
cash register but finding no money
there, rung up fifty dollars and de-
parted. 1t seems evident that the
thieves were after money and moi
goods that would be hard to dispose
of. Mr. Eckart takes his loss phi
losophically, and wanders at the
extreme modesty Of the sneak gen
tlemen.
