Mr. Gervais Gcuthreaux has pur
chased and refitted the coffee-house at
the corner of Mississippi and Calaha
nossee streets, and has now on hand
a large supply of first-rate wines and
liquors, which will be dispensed to his
patrons by an attentive and experi
enced barkeeper. A billiard table,
which has just been repaired, will al
so be found at Gervais' coffee-house.
There is no diminution in the de
mand for Winter clothing among our
citizens; ot, the contrary, the sudden
cold spell of weather has increased
the demand, and the favorite place to
supply it is still at Mr. Marx Israel's
large establishment, corner of Missis
sippi and Lessard streets. No more
appropriate New Year's present can
be made a friend than some article of
Winter apparel, and no better place
to. purchase the same can be found
than Marx lsrael's.
Dan Rice's circus exhibition last
Saturday evening was quite largely
attended, in spite of the inclemency
of the weather. The performance was
by no means equal to the expectations
of the audience, nor worthy the repu
tation of faunous Dan Rice. The best
features were the exhibition of the
magnificent trained horse, "Stephen
A. Douglas," anrd the beautiful little
Louisiana bred trick pony, "Attaka
pas," and Dan Rice's speech. He an
nounced that he would shortly revisit
our town, when, with better weather,
a larger company and increased facil
ities generally, he hoped to merit the
generous patronage of the community.
