On Saturday night last what is re garded as the most foul and cowardly murder that has over occurred in Rap ides Parish, the victim being a young man born and raised in Alexandria, and at the time of his death was doing a mercantile business just at the edge of the corporation line, on the Bayou Robert road. The store house in which Mr. John Leckie, the victim, was doing busi ness is situated on the right hand side of the road going from town, and in dimensions will measure about 18x35 feet. There are two rooms in the building, the largest one being used as the store and the smaller one as a sleeping apartment. In the small 1 room, on the right hand side, is a wiu dow olening in a cotton field, and be tween the cotton field and the store is a fence. Reports have it that Leckie had closed his store early and had retired. At 9:30 o'clock that night a negro man passed by and hearing Leckie groaning reported the same to Mr. John Grogan, a relation of Mr. Leckie by marriage and also his nearest neighbor. The deceased was in the habit of doing this when asleep, and Mr. Grogan thinking that nothing un usual was the matter paid no atten tion thereto. Nothing further was heard in the matter until Sunday morning. A boy had gone to Mr. Hastings, who has a store near Leckie's, and inquired for ginger cake; Mr. Hastings having none I referred the boy to Leckie's, to which place he went, and after calling and receiving no answer at the front door went to the window, which was open, and looked in, and saw Leckie lying in the position described below. T;he boy at once reported haea to Mr. Has- I tings, and the latter, as soon as Mr. (co. Kelso and aunother gentleman t came along, went over to the store and saw Leekta lying dead on the bed. Thus the discovery of this damna- 1 ble deed, was made, and the crime un earthed, and soon the news spread like nihll fire over the Town. All sorts of runioms were rife ; differ ent theories were advanced, and hard ly one person agreed with the other. Coroner John Casson was at once mllllllllanlluel, and soon an autopsy was hiehlc, ani a jury on inqumest, composed of Messrs. A. Jarreau, Alphonse Da vid, II. M. IIuie, Louis Girard, and John Laney, were impanelled. Their verdict was "that the de ceased came to his death from the ef feet of wounds inilicted in the head by means of a har'of iron or other metal lic body, breaking the skull in two places-by the hands of some un- K known person. The wounds were two-one over the orbitary ridge of the right eye, both tables of the skull fractured over a [,pace of one inch ; the other wound at the base of the skull just above the right ear, abont 2 by 3 inches, both tables broken, no cut in scalp at this point. Leckie's body had apparently been carried from the window, mentioned in :a preceding paragraph of this article; the window had evidently been forced open. Here it is supposed that do ceased was dealt the blow which sum mmoned hinm to his maker. Close by the window, and from there to the bed, hloodstains were visible; a towel and a handkerchief were found on the floor both of which had blood on them; whether Leckie used them or the par ty who did the klling is not known. His body was lying on the bed, his legs hanging over the sides of it, and tihe arms were folded over the abdo men. The right hand hreechos pocket was inverted; at the foot of thle bed, covered by the tlei clothes, was foundt money to the amount of $29.25, where it is supposed deceased had placed it K for security. A straw hat, mashed in, I was also near Ivy. Tihe natural supposition is that tile K deceased had not gone to bed-that he was assaulted early in the night; how long hlie lingered is unknown ; at the time of the inquest his body wa· yet warm. Toecle Jenkins, a colored man, had becn at the store all that evening, un til dark, and he it was who was sus picioned, and was arrested and lodged in jail. Jenkin's shoe fit in the tracks Iy thoe window; healso had blood stains on the front of his shirt. Jenkins de nies that he is guilty. Leckieo was a man of family, having a wife and children. He has always borne a good relputation, and that lie should ie so foully dealt with, in such barbarous style, is a surprise to thllis community. We learn that strennous efforts are being made to trace the crime, and the guilty party or parties brought to justice. This people express them selves plain in this killing, and de nounce it in most severe terms. --Wa are still paying the highest market prices for cotton, cash down, and selling goods cheaper than ever.

Nicholls' day is Alexandria, so to speak. He met his appointment here that day and spoke to a crowd of about 1000-of whom 400 were ladies. The speaking and barbecne took place in the town square, where every thing had been previously prepared. Hon. Robert P. Hunter acted as chairman, and Messrs. E. H. McCor mick and A. P Williams as secreta ries. Thirty vice-presidents were ap pointed. The speakers were G. L. Hall, Fred D. King, Hon. M. Ryan, Robt. N. Ogden and Gen. Nicholls. All five made good addresses and were atten tively listened to. The effort of Col. Ogden was a masterly piece of oratory. On account of not feeling well Gen. Nicholls spoke but a few moments. The points touched and harped on by the different speakers were princi pally the third term and personal government. At the close of the speaking the committee on resolutions reported. By the same the Nicholls men denounce the action of the Sixth Congressional convention; think the third term con trary to the doctrines of democracy, and align themselves squarely against the present administration. Everything passed off quietly and well--not the slightest disturbance oc curring. Gen. Nicholls and party left yester day morning for Natchitoches, where they speak to-day. -SHOES in abundance at Bauer & Weil's, and of all grades.

A Naw RAILROAD-Itis announced from Little Rock that a new railroad is about to be constructed and cross the border of Louisiana. It is pro posed to unite Monroe, La., with Pine Bluff, Ark., and the road is to be called the Pine Bluff, Ark., and the road is to be called the Pine Bluff, Monroe and Texas railroad. The route is now being surveyed. Passing through a rich agricultural add well timbered section of country, it will be a most welcome factor of prosperity in the southern counties of Arkansas and the northern parishes of Louisiana. It will form a part of a central iron band to girdle the State, and at Monroe will meet the road to be built from Alexandria up. These gaps filled, and all rail connection between Pine Bluff and Now Orleans on the west side of the Mississippi will be secured. It is said that the necessary capital has been obtained, and the advanta ges of the road are so nunmeous that local aid will no doubt le extended freely for the entire route. The rail road campaign in North Louisiana is the most hopeful indication for the fu ture of tlyit section, and promises a rapid development of its mineral and agrk·iltural resources.-[New Orleans Chronicle. --0ENTS' underwear in suits at Bauer & Weil's.

Liver Complaint Is more surely and speedily cured by the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, than by any other remedy. sI was a great sufferer from liver troubles, and never found any. thing that gave me permanent relief until I began taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla, about two years ago. A fewbottles of this med loine produced a radical cure.-Wm. E. Baker, 1 W.Brookline t., Boston, Mss. A Remarkable Cure. Ayer's Sarsaparilla has cured me of as bad a case of Abscess of the Liver as'any human being could be afflicted with and live. I was confined to the ouse for two years, and, for the last three months of tlat time, was unable to leave my bed. Four physicians treated me without giv ing relief, and, in fact, nothing helpedme, until I tried Ayer's Sarsaparlla. After using a quarter of a bottle of this medl- I cine I began to feel better, and every additional dose seemed to brina new health and strength. I used thre bottles, and am now able to attend to my busine I walk to town -one mile distant-and return, without difficulty. Ayer's Sarea parills has accomplished all this for me. --W. 8 Miner, Carson City, Mich. m Ayer's Sarsaparilla, Preared b Dr. J.C 0. Ayer&ý Co., Lowell, SKr. Sold by all Drouggi. Price $1; bottlk., .
