1 We invite all parties, wishing to
sell or buy lands or houses, as well as
those needing information in regard to
property to rent, to call at our Intelli
gencie Office. We are constantly corres
ponding with 1planters of this Parish for
sany kind of business entrusted to our
care and well posted up.
Oar charges are liberal.
LOUIS DUPLEIX,
Intelligence Oflice,
St. Denis Street,
There is many persons who have not
yet tried Spooner's Pills, because they
have no contidence in a patent medicine.
In this they cannot be blamed for it. But
If sick, if attacked by the fevers which
annoy so nnc.h, let them call at the Gen
eral Depot, Mess. John Mouton & Co., or
at T. Waketield's Druggist, and they will
be insured of a permanent cure. The
pills are warranted.
Steamers Irene and Lizzie Tate have
sent us some newspapers. Thanks to their
kind officers.
We are indebted to S. M. Coley, Grand
Ecoro and Mess. Stauffer & Co., from this
place for favors.
We will publish in our next an excel
lent article entitled "OUR FUTURE" byv
"Stannie Lee."
"Dream of Life" is continued in this
number, and probably will not be ilterrup
ted as we aro promised enongh copy for
some time.
"Quik saoles, small profits." is the motto
adopted by Mess. Stauffer & Co., in the
new establishment o(f Washington Street,
already so well known, so extensively pat
roniz.ed by our population. The new sup
pl, of GUiods juist received by that house
is really a sntiieint proof of the amount
of bu.iniess done in that Emporium. The
ladies are.daily speaking of the low price
of goods pu'chased in that establishment.
TI 0..e in want of Dry Goods, Clothing,
Shoes, Hats, Crockeryware, and in fact of
all things necessary in a family, will do
well by visiting this new stock, before
purchasing elsewhere.
--ram~---- -
PETIuo)LEUtr STOVEs.-Winter is fast
comi,:g. Many families will suffer un
doubtedly for want of wood or indlspen
sable articles. In view of relieving in
part, the hard days to come, we in
vite all of them to purchase a Petroleum
Store, whose reputation is so extensive
throughout the land. They are highly
recommended by competent men as the
desiratum of the age, surpassing in econo
my and quallities all the articles yet offer.
ed.
Spooner's Pills have performed the best
cures, yet recorded. They are a valuable
Companion, and no one travelling for
pleaunre or otherwise ought to be depriv
ed of a box. Enquire from the many par
ties who have used them. More than one
hundred testimonials can be given in their
favor.
Mesa. Isiael & Genius, have lately re
ceievd an extensive and varied assortment
of Dry Goods and Groceries, whiuh they
offer to their customers at a low picev.

OUR JAIL.-It is a pleasure to see the
spirit of improis(men t which has taken
" pla(ei in our little town. The streets are
Sh-t ter kept, the side-wals in some places
entir-ly renewed. PBut the jail ,calU our
slpecial att, ntion. We went to a;ec the re
pairs matde aciordtlng to the Police Jury
resolutions, and think the energetic con.1
tractor, W. 1). llarkius, has carried to the
poiint a larg'ilipart ,of their plans. Tlhe
Jail is now nearly eo:niphted to the gener
al satisfactioln. It; ·bconul the duty of
those w1ho have yet failed to pay their
special tax, torco ae forward andl settle it
at once. They had ample time jto make
provision for the same, and by thus pre
venting harsh measures on the part of the
officer.
We publish in this paper a very good
letter from a correspondent at Milaan, Tex
as, We are glad to perceive, that our
Sister State who has so manyenterprizing
men, is hladir g the mnovement about our
Postal arralngements. The Nalct atoese
offce labors for all the country arountd us,
and through which the Eastern Texas is
supplied, cannot be supported by the Gov
ernment--thence, if the subscription is
not raised, we will be shortly without a
Post Master. lint we are sure that every
one will understand it, and soon will seeo
that in all localities, the Editors and Post
Masters, as well as the BUlbiness alen, will
work in the right way. Eight hundred
dollars or more.can easily be raised. Ev
ery body is moro or less interested in th?
mLovemlelnt.
To our Brothers of tihe Press, we call a
particular attention to the fact and hope
Sthey will cheerfully respond to the goner,
al public good.
Our new correspondent from blilam,
will receive our thanks for his kind atten
tion and the deserved compliment paid to
"Stannie Lee" thle author of "Dream of
- Life."

Invitaltion to theA Pope.--The New
York correspondent of the Phiiladel
t phia Ledger writes :
a There is good reason for believing
r that in the grand Provincial Council
of the Roman Catholic Church,
Swhich is in session in Baltimore, an
effort will be made to extend a for-.
rmal invitation to the Pope to make
the Untited States his homo, it ceent
of such a turn in political affaire in
-Italy as would render his stay in
Rome undesirable. It is no secret
Sthat the highest ecclesiastical au

Nor knew the weight of sorrow's tear,
No: the heart's ucteasing woe,

Till the day bhign to fade
Till twilight shades camne sealing on,
And faintly to my ear was bornoe
The night-bird's song. 'o soft and low

Who loved mine well and trne, I know

But sV e came, with serpent's art,
And coiled herself around my heart;
Whispered words which I believed,
Tho' my deepmost soul was grieved
Yet ento sorrow did I obow
Many, many years ago.
I hear my fate without a tear;
I bear it with a calm despair;
I schooled my heart so true and well,
It never did its sorrows tell,
But learned to hide its bitter woe,
Many, many years ago.

ARrtVa, OF LAMIRAND, l N FRANCE.
fA Paris (Sept. 10) correspondent of
Sthe Ldodon Standard says: The pa-i
pers this evening announce the ar
Srival of a distinguished defaulter,
f M. Sursau Lamirande, the cashier of'
the Poitiers branch of the,.Bank of
France. IHe left that pleasant town
seven months ago, taking with him
480,0001 in bank notes. He was
apprchended at Montreal, and sure
rendered to the French policeman
who went in pursuit of him-and this
in spite of our "defective" extradi
tion treaty. M. Lamirande seems
to have been rather unfortunate in
'his pilgrimage. He divided his
bank notes into two parcels-one,
containing 2O0,000f., he put in his
pocket; the other, 210,000f, he
carried in his hand, and left in the
railway carriage when he got out at
the Victoria Staihon. Such a care
less thief could not- long escape de
tection. He equandered money
right and left in New York, and he
return to France absolutely penniless,
and penitent, no doubt.
s A Portland laborer found a
$6000 pocket-book, returned it to
the owner, and received 50 ccuts in
small change.
