during the past two weeks. Two Sixteenth Sections of PubSchool land will be sold at auction to-day, at the Courthouse, by Sheriff Oook. Work on the lig bdidge is progressing, and the tuneful sound of the big pile-driver re-echoes through the pines. There was a large attendance at the pienic of the Methodist Sunday School tast Saturday, and all preseant appear to have enjoyed themselved. The funeral of Ilnme: Etienne Plot, last Wednesday.

was largely attended. Her children and grandchildren, to the number of fifty, followed her to her last resting plaea. Two Sie steamers, the Grover Cleveland and Heroine, arrive here daily, and give ex3ursions Wednesday and Sunday, anid our summer resijdenta can travel back and forth as- day in the week. There was a grand "aake walk" at the colored Methodist church on Saturday nilght, bhe 2J inst. We lears that Mr.

Moos Gibson and Mrs. Maltbaa Watkins "took the cake" for being the most graceful walkers on the foor. There is only one prisoner in the Parish Jail, an Indian by the name of John Baptiste, who was arrested by Deputy Sheriff W. H. Cook, at Bayou maeombe, on the 8th charged with siooting another Indiap, with mtent to commit murder.

The ordinaico in fall will be found in the Council proceed4ios, in another column. It being rumored about that the steamer Grover Cleveland was going to withdraw from this trade, we aurequested to state that there is no truth whatever in the report. Wheneven she contemplates parsuing each a course, our citizens will be given at lea a week's notice of the event.

At present she has no ulitention of withdrawing, but has "homneto stay," at least all summer, and as long as the public continue to pationize her. AN Tueday mornitg, as this editor was leisnrely w7kijig along, on his way to the osie, he happeaed to glance before himn a small blue ticket, on which was printed the words, "Good for one five cent loaf of bread." At the sama instant we noticed, a few feet ahead of tie, a black snake, about three feel lon, creasing eour pathway. As usal, on seach occasions, we were perfectly calm and collected. In a moment oar plan of action was formed, and we proceeded to buminias. Slowly stooping down, we quietly grasped the snak Shoved it in our vest pocsket.

Mr. John Golding, a well-known citizen of New Orleans, shot Rudolpho Rodaiguez, a member of the Mexican band, at the World's Exposition, last Saturday afternoon. Golding fired five shots, all of which took effect. He says he shot the Mexican becannse he insulted his daughter, who is employed at May's sods water stand. Golding was arrested and released on bond, and the wounded Mexican was to Charity Hospital; he was not very seriously injured, as on Thursday he had reoovered sufficiently to pay a visit to his friends at the Exposition.

We had a pleasant visit last Sunday from Mr. Donnet, the talented editor of that stealing and influential Frenclt journal; the daily New Orleans Bee. On the recommendation of District Attorney Ellis, Judge Thompson has ordered the Sheriff of Livingston parish to transfer John Baptiste, who is charged with the murder of Robert Parish, from the jail in that parish to the parish prison, in New Orleans, for safe keeping.

ruled all the bills of exception, in of the Fords, et for the m.ider of Cap Murphy, and airmed the judgment of the lower ciurt. The thirty-fifth in regard to the verdict having been received o0 Sunday, was passed upon as follows: "The thirtyfifth and last bill submitted by the defense has reference to the fact that the verdict was ordered to be recorded a few, minutes after 12 o'clock on the night of Saturday, the 28th of February. The charge is that the verdict is null because it was rendered on Sunday. The records show that the verdict was received and aniounced before midnight, but ordered to be recorded a few minutes after that hour. We have carefully examined all the authorities relied on by both parties on this point, and we find that the prepondeJaace of the same favors the plain and common sense rule, which, as a umtter of necessity, allows the court to receive a verdict and discharge the jury on SundJly, but not to enter judgment.

"Bishop lays down the rule as follows: Though Sunday is dies non wherein no judical act is valid, but ministerial acts are, a verdict received on Sunday is good, yet not a judgment on a verdict; on Sunday the court may find that the jury cannot agree and disch-irge them. -This rule has been uniformly applied in all cases like the case in hand, where the cause had been given to the jury before midnight on Saturday, and a verdict rendered during the same night, even though it be in the early hours of Sunday. "The very principle which underTies the sanctity of the Salbath would prompt the rule which wuld place it in the power of the twelve who had their official mission to join in s'nctification of the. day, instead of keeping themc confined 'in idleness.

A splendid wash is as follows: Alcohol 8, water 16, ammlonia 1 and cologne 1 ounces. Headaches may frequently be relieved by washing the haad in a weak sonlution of soda.

Next Wednesday, the 27th inst, will be United States and Extensin Day at the World's Exposition, The festivities of the day will include many interesting cercmonies, and close with a grand display of fireworks. The orators will be selected with care, and will be representative men of the people. In the more thoroughly cultivated sections of the State, (says the City Item,) complaint grows loud and deep againt the enormous aggregate outlay which is required to construct and maintain fences, merely for keeping out of the crops "a few long-snouted hogs and long-horned cattle, that are of maore anno3ance than profit." The 'fence-law fight will yet have to be fought out in this State. Cross Tax Collector of Iberville parish reports that out of a total of $27,251 23, for taxes of 1884, he has collected it all except $93 55, the defieit consisting of erroneous as-I seesments, movable property lost, ias out of the parish, and no proprtiy food. cOUNOrL Corscm HALL, lMay 19.

EXTRA PAY FOR SOLDIERS OF THE MEXICAN WAR. W.maaSrTOx, May the lute session of the Sepreme Conrt 1 an ilmportant question was seft'ed which has been overlooked. Or July 19, 1848, Congress passed a bill known as the extra pay act, as "That the non-cotumis sioned fficetss, uusaaicilas anIl pri vatte in military serlice of ti-e U.ited S-ates, in IIt a war wilth Mexco, alnd who served Iout the terms of their engagement.

Tois statute was under the contrrla of the Depart- a went, au of War Mart-r iatre'pretedl it to, apply only to vol- mIateera, and not thae regular anrmy Sfficers and privates.

All the question haes beens in dis ipute. 'The bttnpeme Court ha. a cd cided that al!

The latter is no legitimate word, prow and all ite compounds being 'weak' ve ts.

We s.y approved, not ap proven, etc. A few years ago proven was never heard, except in the old 8coteh law phrases, "not proven;" and the best dictionaries do not recognize it, except as a Scotticism or a poetical word. Gotten is another archaism which recent affectation is restoring to use. Webster and Woreester both call it "obsolescent," as it seems to have been even in the Elizabethan age. Shakepeare uses it only five times, (and three of these are in the second and third parts of Henry while he has got as the participle in more instances than we have patience to counL Milton does not use it once in his poetry; we cannot speak for his prose.

Tennyson has wDll-goUten in but elsewhere got; as in the familiar lines: can raise the lowers now, For all have got the seed." It is equally rare in all the beet modern writers, so far as we have noted; but nowadays the 'schoolmarmsu" have got into the way of saying goften, and the young folks seem to suppose that it is the only correct World.
