Shreveport. Feb. 16, 1 563.
The State Auditor, MIr. 11. l'eraha,
will accept our thanks fir a c-p,.y ,f
his special report to the (Gneral: As
sembly of the State of Louisiana.
As our city council ha.- sI,:.sed an
ordinance prohibiting hogs runtnig
at large within the limit.t of the cor
poration. it behooves them to pro
vide some nwans to k,'-p the Rtree.tts
and alleys cleared of all diith. There
should be scavenrger carts to rt m,ve
all nuisances. If this is not a:teid
ed to the condition of the ci!v will
be wretched, and much sickness pre
anil the corning summner. "W rr
spectfutlly call attention of cur city
fathers to tbhe subject for their con
sideration.
If the Honorable geutlenman with
whom we conversed yesterday, andm
who iniisted on having the vw,,rd, "on'
certain conditions," itnserted in [ ].,
will becomen a contributor to our
columns, we shall be piceed.
Our fellow citizen, Capt. WV. B.
Densonl, we learn has arrived in .:-,r
city. Ilc was among those captured
at Arkansas Post. Captain, can't % oa
give us your experience for the bene
fit of tile curious.
The steamer Texas is reported
sunk above. The people generally
believe this'.
Qucny.-Is the office of Chief
Justice of the Supreme - Court of
.'·Louisiana, of any importance ? We
notice that there is but one candidate
in the field. Won't sonme one run
in opposition, and make it interesting?
As will be seen by reference to the
advertisement, Messrs. 1: & 13. J;a
cobs now offer $200 reward for the
apprehension of their runaway- negro.
If-hs S it the country this ought to
retch him.

Robert Fulton, we learn the Texans
is not sunk.

it will be observed that our financial it
