From Our Regular Correspondent. -The digging of ditches, grading of streets, repairing of side-walks, would be to this town, no luxury, but a necessity badly needed. -Some public spirited citizen took unto himself the responsibility; and immediatly repaired the Lou vierre bridge. Thanks to you, friend. -The moving of the Royville lodging rooms caused some excite ment in town Saturday. -The roads between this town and Broussardville are nearly im practible. No drainage the main cause of these boggy and impassable roads. -Since Mr. Lessin Broussard has built that protection levee, pre venting the water from taking its natural course, the public road facing his place is forced to act rs ditch; thus causing the public, much inconvenience due to the boggy and deep holes, formed by the quantity of stagmant water remaining. We would like to see some action taken concerning the cutting of said levee, as in our estimation, Mr. Broussard has no right to prevent the water from taking its natural drainage. -Mr. D.

A sad accident, the result of a practical joke, happened five miles from Duson, last Saturday night, which, only through the purest chance did not result in death. The particulars, as far as we have been able to learn, appear to be these: At the home of Mr. Israel Prejean, while this gentleman was away, were several young ladies spending the night with Miss Arsene Duhon, sis ter of Mrs. Prcjean. Tie young ladies thought it would be a good joke to disguise themselves in men's attire and frighten Ralph Duhon, toe only man in the house. No sooner thought of than it was done, and after getting into disguise, they silently stole out from the rear and stepped or, th;e galicry and knocked at' the door. Mrs. Prejean an swered tl e call, sligltly opened the door and inquired wi.o was t..ere. RW:th-out answering t..e young ladies rushed in only to be met by Ralph Duhon, wl o thinking they were rob_ bers taking advantage of the ab sence of Mr. Prejean to commit rob bery, ý,pened fire upon them with a pistol, the first shot taking effect in the neck of Miss Arsene Duh'n, his sister. He tried to shoot again but the pistol, fortunately, would not re volve, else some of the others might have been shot. After the first shot, the girls began to scream and made themselves known, and, of course, they all deplored the ending of what they anticipated would be real fun. Dr. O. A. Clark was summoned, and after examination, pronounced the young lady's wound serious, but not dangerous. At last reports the young lady was improv ing nicely.
