I was quite surprised to see in your issue of tWh ith the "formal and final demand" of one Amb. Mouton for the rname of your Shell Beaci. correspondent-first, because Mr. Mouton knew very well who the an thur of the comnuunie ition was; and. further, because here at home he was as quiet as a "little lamb" about the matter, knowing that the statements were too true. But it seems that the further away from home he gets. where he is less known, the more bluff aid bluster he uesumes. Now, to satisfy Mr. Mouton, I will say 1, and I alone, am personally re spunsible for the article from Shell Bench, published in the MEflIDIONAL of the 25th ultimo. One word before I close, to Mr. Investigator. If he will investiga'e a little further I think he will find that the report wide by the jury of freeholders, in the road case from Lake Arthur toward Abbeville, was made in the same way as a majority of such reports ,hat ia t4 - cepted by this same police jury have been made, and that none of thema comply strictly *to the letter of the law. For instance, the jury is re. quired to plow the road, the whole distance. Now, may I ask Investi gator how the jury is to plow upon a man's laud who opposcs the road to the extent that he "will fight them (the jury) to h-11 before the road crosses los place." Possibly your answer will he that an exception must he made in such a case. I an swer, if an exception can he made in this case, it can be made in all cases, as has been done ii other reports allowed in this parish. Respectfully yours. C. I. OTYfIS. Grand Jairy kspurt.

Goo. Moornman, pre:ideut, and Major-if. H. Baker, secretary, of the State Immigration Association, who were found at the offieo of the association, No. 159 Common street, 'hard at work sending out the heaps of . printed matter they have ac cumulated from the different parishes. that in order to give every portion oftthe State an equal showing for the distribution of immigrants, and so that the interest of every parish would be properly attended to and looked after, the association had determined to divide the State into three districts to be composed of St. Landry and Vernon and the parishes lying south and southeast of them, embracing il1 the parishes through which the Morgan Railroad runs. as well as others in the limit named, viz : St. Charles, Assumption, St. Martin, Acadia, Cameron, St Bernard, Lafourche, St. Mary, La fayette, Calcasieu, Vermilion, Or. leaps. Terrebonne, Iberia, -t, Lan dry, Vernon, Plaquemines. Another district, to be composed of the Florida parishes and the district of the State through which the Mississippi Valley road and Texas and t'acfic Railroad runs, as far as DeSoto, and including other parishes adjoining this district, viz : Jefferson, Ascension, Natchitoches, St. Helena, Rapideb, West Feliciana. Pointe Coupee, Catahoula, St. John Baptist, lberville, Grant, Wash ingtun, De Soto, Livingston. Sabine, East Feliciana. East Batop Rouge, St. Jameas, Avoyelles, Concordia, West Baton Rouge, Wino, St. 'T'amnmaliy, Red River, Tangipahoa. The other to be the district of North Louisiana. to be composed of the parishes through which the Vick: burg, Shreveport and Paceic Railroad runs, and adjoining par ishes, viz : Caddo, Calborne, Jack son, Caldwell, Franklin. West Car roll, Btosaier, Lincoln, Union. Rich land, 'reasas, East Carroll, Webster. Mianville, *Ouachitu, Morehouse, Mnadison. The State Immigration Associa. tion has already engaged the ser vices of Hon. Robert Mullenger, formerly of Springlields, D. T., to represent the first above named dis trict. Hle has resided in this State for about one year an'id a half, at Luke Charles and Hlouma, and is therefore well acquainted with all the parishes in his district, xcept tig St. Landry and Vernon, where he has now gone for a few days to get thoroughly posted. so as to Un derstand fully everything couincC ted wita his entire district. Mr. Mulleuger has credentiale of the highest character from his former residence, and has shown himself to be thoroughly alive to the interests of Louisianu. Fl was one of the speakers at the late con veution of Northern men held in this city, and showed Louisiana's advantages in an able wanner. Mr. E. C. Payson, formerly of liouglas county, Muin., now of A mnite City, has been engaged to represent the second above named district. Fle has resided in this State about a year, and stands so well with the citizens of Ainite City that he was made one of the directors of their Fair &ssociatiou. lie was one of the delegates to the late Northern convention held in this city, and is euthusiastic over Louisiana's healh and climate, as he came here an almost helpless invaild, and was so helpless that he had to be supported as Le walked, and in this short time igibuw a hale, strong. hearty luau. lie is well acquainted with most of the Florida parishes, aidd for a few days has been up the line of the Texas end Paeilic, inspecting that part of the country, and will then make a short tr~ip through St Tammauy and a few other parishes in his district, in older to fully in form himnelf. The Iumigration Association i. now negotiating with several agents, Northern men, to select one for the North Louisiana district, with the expectation that the arrangements will be consummated in a very short tune. Meassrg. niztegee64 a Byson will start for the theater of their busi ness operations. the State of Iowa, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Wis cousin, Nebraska and Kansas, in a few days, where they expect to distribute the pamphlets giving the proceedings of the late NortheriL convention, held in this city on thu 7th and 8th of August (about 60, 000 of which will be printed) which they consider will be the most con vincing documents which can ho offered to the Northern publiu who desire to change their residence and come South. The association has already re ceived about 10.000 copics of the immigration editions of the country papers, which will also ho scattered over the North and West, giving information as to the resources. pro ducts, soil - and climate of the different parishes of this State. All the advices and letters re ceived`ftom the North are of the most encouraging character. indica ting that a large flow of immigration will come this way during the fall and winter. Everything is being done by the State Immigration Association that is possible to bring these immigrants, homneseekers and capitalists to Lou isiana, and they will use stroni exertions after they reach this State to try and have them to settle in Louisiana.-N. 0. Picayune. Care of Corn Fodder. An easy way to take care of cona fodder, says The Prairie Farmer, is to shuck in the field and tie in. bundles which are aateiwvard stack ed. Lay a piece of twine on the ground of a leught to suit the size of the bundles you propose making; place an arnfull of fodder on- the twine apd shuck out the corn which may be thrown into a wagon. Repeat this operation until you have a bundle of the desired size, which tie firmly. The bales frons two to four shucks cap be piled to gether until a convenient time comes for hauling, or until the first snow comes, when they may he hauled to the stack on sleds. In piling in the field lay one bale ont the ground and put others crosswise. By using a pitchfork to handle the bales, one web can load with greater ca e and rapidity than two in the old ways, loose. Iii stacking, the staker takes two bales in his hand and sets them up perpentdicularly, building on each side of this row until the desired. size is obtained. Now lay bales lengthwise on the top of the u-richt ores to raise the shedding bales to a half pitch, and if necessary the stack can be covered with long slough hay to shed snow and rain. By this method the fodder is kept straight, dry and convenient to feed. Ieasneit Ihing in the Wiorld. You want my opinion of what it the meanest thing in the world'?' said a veteran sport.
