A cOlmmittee of Cltlzernu AnemIIble acnd Deal summary Just ile to the Malefactor. On Friday last, betw.enl the hoursl of mtil night and 1 o'clock in the molning, the family of Mr. Devezln ()livielr, residhngiin lthe parish _of Iberia, about four miles fron the town of New Iberla, wore smudlnly awalicnmed by an Unusual roaring noise coning front the out side. On going oult of thi house to disR'ovt' the cause, they saw their sugar-house enivtlopedl' in flames and the cotton ginnery adjoining it also a prey to the devounri ng elenient. The neighbors hurried to the scene of the disaster to offer their services in puttin outl, the fire, and when unaring the stables they discovered a negro about to set ilrn, to the building. He was inl.dlately seized, and such was the indignation felt bvy everybIdy at the conduct of this wretch that, it was re solved to hurl him into tlihe Ilading ruins in order to visit upon hinm the lunishment he so Justly deserved. However, Mr. Olivier Intoerltdeil and saved the wretch by counseling niteration. "!1le must be punished," said this gentlemnan "lult let us watt; tie revenge will c1onol surely, oven if slowly." The buildings wlere totally destroyed, with the exoeption of thet stbli,4. The negro was closely guat-rdedi till day, whenthenews of tie I'i'orrenice sIlt" d I rnlltidily throughout the parish, briging ,i to the scene Slargl number of t.lhe fricntli of Mr. )livieor who all deeply sympathized with him on sutch an unforeseen calamity. All were so highly illleniseil at, such a dlast ardly action on the part of t his inceallary,. that a committee of about a Uli1ni 1 r.edll Iti- 1 nllt was chosen forthwith, and formedl'l into a tribunal to pass sentence on t he nigro. The charges were heardt againstL hin; his statement was heard, atllind ater a briif d, klllberatlon, the colnlmititee resolvetd iunllllli .molusly to hang the cri inal on the spot. IHe was allowed the bnLllfi of fexpitlanititg his con iuct. The nlegro said thtli he wias the oitt' who had hlast autunin set hire to the planta ions of Messrs. (rl'eveintlrg and Far in that -,etghborhood, and tlllhat he exlpectem to burn some more should he live. When askted what reaston wrom lllt him to to this hellish work, he repll tlld t lith was Sut of his head, and whenever he felt so had n. invincible desire to commit arson. This statement not being satisfacntor to .he oitizens exposed to that man's dangcrous .ropeneLtles, a rope was procured, and li a 3w mLinutes the lifeless body of the incendi ,*ry was swinging in mid-air.

All of the repairs whtch hive boon done at. the hospital were done by order of the Board of Administrators. and upon a knowledgie that they could be carried out and pall for as the work progrnessed. It is certainly gratifying to the board, and partiullarly to the mcembhers of the finance cmmllttto. whoHs watchful care and strict Iat ttionl to duty rsulted inll the aoelmpllshment of so much : therefore. If any praish be due lit It bi given to tie board and finance commit tee; nlough for nim to receive a share through thalt source I)r. A. C.

Respectfull.y M. D. LAGAN. Moet & Chandon is cooling and refreshing. The prices of ice in New York city this sea son are: To hotels, taking 1000 pounds daily, $3 per ton; to butchers, restaurants and the cash trade generally, thirty-five cents per hundred pounds; to offices and families, eight to ten pounds daily, sixty cents per week; twelve to fifteen pounds daily, seventy cents per week; twenty pounds daily $1 per week; thirty pounds and upward daily, sixty cents pr hundred pounds. These prices are about 2 per cent more than last year's rates, and a further advance is expected as the weather grows warmer. The ice trade in New York is a monopoly. Since January 1, tle gold coinage of the San Francisco mint has been $10 200,000, and the silverage coinage $4,160,000, of which $4, 127,000 was in trade dollars.

'(There is no doubt that the murder Is agrarian. It was conmnittdl near a farm from which a widow named Alzoe, a respect ile Presbyterian, had recently been evicted. The relations of his lordship and his tenants were never of a friendly character, his lands woere let at a very low rent, and the conse quence was that when he evicted tenants he had to pay away large sums in compensa tion under the land act; in some instances the amount exceded the fee simple of the holding. He was kind and liberal to the poor, but very particular and exacting in his dealings with the tenantry, visiting with unsparing severity the slightest infraction of the rules of the estate. He was not deterred by the high prices which he had to pay therefor, from exercising his legal rights. Many evic tions have occurred, and it is stated that eighty more were in process of being carried out. Some of the lands from which tenants had been ejected were converted into pastures, as no other tenants could be induced to take them. The Ribboned Society have a strong hold upon the count, owingt is believed in a great measure to h hord eanass.

The recent row about the Doorkeeper served to develop and bring out these smoldering antagonisms, and had not the debate been cut off where it was by an arbitrary ruling of Randall, there would have been considerable of a blaze. It was fortunate for the Demo cratic party at large that the tactics adopted by the Radicals forced the former to quit fighting among themselves in order to make head against the common enemy.

A reporter of the DJSMO(nAT took a ride on the outskirts of the city, for the purpose of rto viewing the Improvements made to the streets, roads and ditches of that ecotion, which work Is under the supervision of auperintendent John Hoffman. of the Reventh Ward. The first visit was paid to the Oentilly road on which great improvements are being made. Elgh'een years ago this was a splendid shell road. in fact. tie brst in the city, it being the road leading to the old loulsiana race eour.e situated on Elysian iehlds street, Duringthe war the (!onfedierate forces hauledrheavy pi eo of ordnance over that road to Fort Me')poe. totally unitting it for what it was intendet to te. Later, t(I ,tlly was Ranndoned by the au thoritles to such an extent that the greater , trt of what was formerly a smooth and Ile! roadl-behd tbecam a perfect quagmire, so bd. Indeed, that it took three mules to pull a milk cart that would get ft fst In the mud. Iatily, however. It was dlecided to paut the road in good order. The shellroad n ,ntrautor and the miud road oontract"/r were notified ee tlvely to set to work. These contractors, Bow over. got in a little controversy as to who would have to do the work. It was argued on onesi that, lentilly could no more t,e called a shell rodl, whill on the other hand it was maintsone that It inas a shellroad since the btrd dented trmceP of shills. In order to put nil arguments on technicalitles out of the way, our ofit fathers ent the nordian knot byhaving the e pairs maetn on the lt.y's acmount, thereby savin from ruin n avenue whlch has been the only thoroughfare connecting the suburhs with th city proiper. A foroe of man is now hard at work filling Up mud holes, smonthing and grading the road. bed, and cutting a series of side and orose dllthes in order to Insure a thorough system of drainnge. Alreadv mruch work has been gone through to improve the suburb.s what has been done Is well, but much yet rem ains to be done, and unless Administrator MM(7affry' s budget Is Increased nothing can he promised for the lf ture In tte way of Irmprovements. The ailoW ance to Mr. McOaffrey for his exoonses, et., $tni,(o0 this year, of which is.ott goes to the contractors for their regular work; the remain der it 7s.xi) must serve for the ralra work dope by the contra ,tors, and also is lutended to ie fray the expenses of city work. After surveying the whole length of the road up to the rare course, we alighted near the bridge of the Paoplea' Aventoe canul tovl.ew tihe floodgate recently e~-eted there. This flood gaei is in perfect working order, and answers its reqluirements admirably. There were two bridges lately built in that section, one over the Marian. canal, at the In tersentlon of London Avenue, and another at the intersection of Ht. Anthony and Marigny canals. These improvements have opfned four ave noes to traffin in those parts where there was formerly only one, and consequently the move ment of trade will Increase and th value of property in the vloinity will rise. These re. palrs. Improvemen's and alterations to Qen illy roadt and its neighborhood will in a short time, If kept up at the present rte,. make the road the most popular and beautiful drive for the summer evenings. We then left Gentilly and turned our attentolo to the Blayou St. John and tte Lake road. This rlad along the lake shore from Spanish Fort to Milnoburg has been gradually oovered by the waters. HIt bridges are falling down. and are In such condition as to nece-sltate the buildil) of now bridges further inside, on a road which the vethiles had cut through the brush beoause they could not pass on the old road. AT MIINEaBUR thn lake hasn ncroached so mucnh on the shore that. a stone bulkhead hwl to he erected try order of A dtnm Istrator McOaffrey to prevent the waves from wnshing off the houses. Milnhburg is still the same octet, cosy and interesting little villago whi'"h the weary citt zons of New Orleans rdllght to visit In order to rest for a few hours from the cares and excite. ment of the busy metropolls. The hotel keepers of Milneburg complain that the Pont chartrain Bailrofad om psny show a lack of enterprise in running their trains at long In tervals and sending off the last car at 7 p. m.. eust at the time when city people begin to enjoy the scenery and inhale the cooligu breexes of Lake Pontehartratn. bWe stopped at Papa MIguel's and defied him to Uive us some palatable fish. He did though an!d Rent up the nicest brolled sheepheavd tbai ever was served at any table. After partaking of Mlguel's fare we mRt towards the city sati tI .d from what we had seen that the ifty does ask some interest In the Improvement of the suburbt. and should it have sufficient amount of money on hand the Third District would soon be better drained than ant Dartof the THE UCIJICIDAL EPIDEM IC. It has often been noticed before that disasters and crimes seem to run in epidemics. Whether It is the temperature, or whether such things obey certain hidden laws of which our philoso phy does not dream, it Is now impossible to say. but the curious truth remains that. as a rule; certain classes of erimes come upon us in groups. If the term be allowable, and when one is cmmitted it is followed by aseries of like character. One the is followed by a number of others, one murder by more. Within the last week we have had to chronicle no less than six suioldes. almost one ad sy. This is more than slngular. According to the doctrine of chances such events. taking the total number occurring throughout the year. ought to be distributed at sone interval of time, but as we have said be fore they come together in battalions. SUNDAY OUT OF DOORS. The several cool spells we have been having during the past four weeks mad'e many believe that we would have, for somrn time to come, a vacation so far as sultry weather is concerned. but the last two days' temperature dissipated rny such happy thoughts. Yesterday from a >'elock the sun poured down his hottest rays, end t,y noon the cooll'st of our citizens were bathed in prosperation. After dinner the effect ,f the heat began to show itself. The cars to he lake were crowded to their u most capacity. nd the ferryboa's on the river received their share of patronage. Down at the New Lake End, during the af ;irnoon and evening there might have been at east three thousand visitors, and at the 01d Lake almost as many. Everybody who could ret away did so by every available route. To liandeville on the New Camelia. a large num er of excursionists left to enjoy the breeze ipon the water and the Mobile and Jackson oads carried of crowded trains. The day was July one, and umbrageous oaks and sylvan hades were the Eldoradors for those seeking a ,reathing spell from the heated city. CUBAN INOEPENm ENCE. The "Occidente" met again yesterday, CoL 3icardo Cespedes, secretary of the Cuban Sunta in New York, presiding. The Colonel spoke at great length about the tecessity of preserving harmony among all ,ubans here, and that he was sure of the trl Imph of the cause of independence over tyran 1y. For nine long years he has been constant y resisting the Spanish invaders; he was mlways ready to continue in the same line of Conduct; that is, to achieve the independence >f his conntry. He related several incidents of he war and was greatly applauded bythe atten ive assembly. Several gentlemen made a few remarks to the ffect that action was imperative now. The meeting was not very nnoerous. but ws Conducted with much harmur and enthust-
