The a'dluction of young child- vi ren frlom parenlts who, are fonld of y them is always a horrifying event h because there are so many possi- h lhilitiea of evil to the little ones that the parents sutiffer more that' c if their offspriings had falleu vic- ~ timl to somine fatal disease. I. These abductionls are perpetrat- c ed for the purpose of extortin g t large suIts of money from the v parents through threats that if e the children are not plromptly re- c deemed tile little ones will be a exposed to frightful tortures and death. In this. cotlnection miany of the Picayulle's readers will re call tih case of the little amalnn t boy who was stolen in this city , and held for ransom, and when I the autJorities got very hot on , the trail ihe was cruelly murdered by the miscreants, who were seek ing to extort money from his par ents. Some of the criminals con corned were caught, tried and awarded terms of imprisonment, inadequate I*-nalties for the mur der of the little one, and for the unspeakable agonies inflicted on the parents. These observationls were sug gested by the abduction of the Whlitla boy who was stolen some days ago from his parents i.t Sha ron, Pa., and was recovered onl Sunday last by his father on pay- I melt of $10,000. The news came late last nlight that the villians had been caught in Cleveland and ' nmost of the money recovered. One of the most memoral of such cases was the albduction of Charley Ross,a Philadelphia child, many years ago. Instead of pay ing the ranlsom dematnded, the parents put tile police onil the case with the result that the child was never recovered and no trace of! the abductors was discovered. A-t. other notable case was a youlng semn of Cudahy, a mnillionaire pork packer at Omaha. Ho re coverlt his child by paying a haun dred thousand dollars of ransom monelley. Some years afterward a mlen namled Crowe, who was charged with the abduction, was arrested and brought to trial, butI for some reason or other he could nuot. be convicted. So far as the noted cases are concerned the abductors have geni erally got the money they de manlded, and have so far escaped any punishmeiint whatever save in the case of the [amalna child in this city, atd they would have escapled if their crime hIad liot ben plannllled almost under the eyes of tile child's paretlts by the Iersotls who were ktowtl to tihetl, so that clews were readily discov ered. But for these circumstaices in all probability tile Lamana child's abduotors would hiave beet quite as successful in gettinig away as were the others. While t here is tto water in siglit yet to warrant grave alarm, the outlook is not at all favorable. A geteral rainy cotdition is re ported it the upper valleys,which. withI the presetlt stages, is cause for anxious conleern. Mulnch lands out side of tihe levees, whit h raised ito crops last year, are already unllder water. Of course at this seasoll thIere is a good margiln of hope thlat the river will subside itt time for planting. It is repe-. tition, hut there is itothing elseI to say of the nituation, than that the high water future is a qnes tii, of raitfall; oll this all fore casts of the ultimate flood heiRht anidd . urattot depends.-Vicksburg Ilertl d.

Duncan Far rar, Jr., to Miss Josephine Muir, which occurred on Thursday the 25th instant, at First Presbyterian Church, on Lake St. Joseph, was a very happy affair and was witnessed by a large gathering of friends and well-wishers of the young couple. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Dr. Hillhouse, of Vicksburg, and at its conclusion the bridal party and guests repaired to the beautiful country home of the bride's parents on "Sunflower" plantation, where a magnificent recep tion was tendered. The entire affair was marked by the Inswt Is'rfect taste; happy faces, exquisite flowers, lieatiful prtentmts and heart-felt coingratulations werc inl evidence, all con tributiug to one of the happiest and nsost auspicious occasions which marks the social history of our parish. The groomt is the eldest son of Mr. S. I). Farrar, one of our most prominent citizens and planters. He is a progreiwive young man, faithful to duty and has hosts of friends, all of whorl recognize his many manly qualities. The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. ('has. B. Muir, one of the oldest families of this parish. She is one of Tensas' loveliest girls; fair of face, admirable of character, a devoted daughter and sis ter, she pomnsest every attribute of true womanhood and will bring to her new estate all of the qualities neceesary to constitute the loving wife and to make a happy home. The Gazette only voices the sentiments of a wide circle of friends of Mr. and Mrs. Farrar when it expresses the hope that the future may bring to them hap pines and prosperity; that they may live always in the sunshine of life, the shadows falling elsewhere. CONNER-ORAVES. On Wednesday evening, March 24th, at 7 o'clock, Mr. Haney B. Conner was married to Mis Margaret Estelle (iraves, at the M. E. Church, in Waterproof, Rev. Norman Guice, a cousin of the bride, officiating. The bride is the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Everett Graves of Waterproof, La., talented and cultivated, endowed with all the charms that have ever graced our Southern women, the circle of whose admirers is as widejas her acquaintanceship. The groom is a native of Chattanooga, Tenn., having come to this parish several years ago to accept a position in the public school work. For a time his home was in St. Joseph, from which place he moved to Waterproof, where he took charge of the High School as principal. He made many friends both in the social and business life of this pariah, and his abil ity and worth were recognised when he was invited to accept the position of cashier of the Waterproof bank, in which capacity he has fully demonstrated thei wisdom of those who advocated his can didacy for that place. The church was beautifully decorated with a profusion of evergreen and flow ers, the color scheme .lbeing green and white. The bride entered on the ann of her father, who gave her away. Her gown was of white satin, princesm effect with train. She wore a wreath of orange bloomns, the bridal veil was caught with a jewel. The maid of honor, Miss Ludie Graves, was gowned in white lingerie and carried flowers; Misn Emit Marks, bridesmaid, wore an exquisite white satin princess, and also carried flowers. Mr. Guy N. Hunter was bed man, Dr. J. E. l8icer amd Mr. Robt. S. iraves were uhers. The gentlemen oA the bridal party all wore e'ening drem. Mendlemhon'a Wedding March ws exquisitely rendered by Miss Elisabeth Gorton, Rev. Norman Giuice sng "Be= cause" as the bridal party entered. Little Mimes Mariam White and Eve lyn Hunter were flower girls. From tlhe church the bridal party and guests returned to the home of the bride where a reeption was tendered them, and delicious refreshments were served, and tlhe health of the happy couple wa" drunk in many a flowing cup. The colo scheme of the church was carried out in the home decorations. In the parlor were displayed the numerous and costly pres ents, consisting principally of silver anti Icut glass, which attested the popularitl Iof the bride and groom. The wedding and -reception were. at Itended by a large namber of relatives and friends both from this pariah and abroad. The Gaette extends its congratul tiona and wishes for Mr. and Mrs. Com nor a life of periet happines. RAYMONDANDREWS. The numerous friends of the contracting parties will be interested to know that, at New Orleans on t~ 17th inst., Mr. tiuy S. Raymond, uqtll esently of Wash-. ington, Mis., and Mis Mary Andrew, daughter of Dr. Mark Andnews, of Wa terproof, were married.

Coop er, convicted cf murder in the second degree and sentenced to twenty years in the penitentiary for the killing of former United States Senator E. W. Carmack, retired to the home of Judge J. 0. Bradford to-night and dis cussed the next move in the case. Although Judge Hart fixed the bond at $25,000, for each defend ant, there was a rush to sign it on the part of the wealthy citi zens of Nashville which fairly swamped thu clerk of the crimi nal court. In vain he protested over and over again that more than enough sureties had been signed, but the invariable answer was "we want to put our name on that bond too." It seemed as though every friend of the Coop er's considered it incumbent upon him to sign the bond. When there was no more room for names at the foot of the document, the new bondsmen endorsed it across the face until it was difficult to I discipher the signatures. The Cooper's returned to the jail this evening late and removed i their personal effects. For the present Colonel Cooper will make I his home with Mrs. Bufch and Robin will return to his old quar s ters with his uncle Judge J. C. I Bradford. 1 Spring gardens are coming on - nicely, and are very promising unless a late frost catches them.
