In the redestricting of the judi

clary OF the parishes, 81. MARTIN
and st. Mary have been put to-
getber. We have no objection to
st. Mary or any other parish, but
we are of opinion that : it would
have been preferable that st. Mar
Tin be put with a parish closer, if
st. Mary and Iberia were put to-
gether and Vermillion and st.
Martin, we believe the combina-
ton would be better, and more sa-
tisfactory, though there might be
a slight different in the matter of
population.
One of the finest specimens of
fruit we have ever seen in this pa

a bunch of plums, which contain
ed twenty-one extraordinary large
plums on branch only twelve
inches long, the fruit was pretty,
and in flavor was excellent. These
plums came from the yard of Mr..
DeBlanc and shows what fruits of
all kinds will do in this parish
when given the proper attention
and necessary cultivation.

boastful, but it is the truth, we are

st. Martinville has had the ex-,
perience of an ice famine this
week, which proved a great incon-
whence to the people, and caused
a great deal of suffering because
those who are in the habit of as
ing ice daily cannot do without it
without suffering. Both of our
ice dealers saw their supplies dis
appear without being able to get
ice from any where, they telegra-
phed almost every ice factory for
two hundred miles around, and no
ice was 70 be had, it appears that
all the ice factories can do in this
hot weather is to supply their To-
cal trade. This town is consul
ming about five tons of ice daily,
and when this necessity is not to
be had, it causes untold incOnvi-
nience aud suffering. We trust
that for the next season, we will
have an ice factory of our own,
and we will not in the future ex-
perience any more ice famine.
