John Westley, the young colored man
from this place reported as having been ar
rested for alleged complicity in the murder
of Mrs. Cole, must have deen released, as
his name is not in the list of prisoners pub
lished by the Iberville Soulh. We have al
ways regarded John as a good boy, and the
news of his arrest surprised as considerably.
A Smoke Bend friend informs us that
ten men and four dogs from that vicinity
had a grand hunt across the river Friday
before last, and killed sixteen rabbits.
How the game was divided we were not
told. If it was all assigned to the dogs, the
problem was a very simple one, but if the
bipeds came in for a share there were some
troublesome fractions to dispose of.
Mr. Joe. N. Wolfson, a member of the
New Orleans bar, visited our town week be
fore last to have assigned for trial a case
pending before our District Court with
which he is connected, and we were pleased
id! make his acquaintance. We understand
that Mr. `Uolfson is associated with that
well known atturnee ![oil. B. R. Forman,
who ranks iq one of the able.- lawyers in
the State.
Mr. Wm. Town, Jr., and family o: Zort
Barrow have rented the neat residence
formerly occupied by Mrs. Preuss and
more recently by Mr. Julius Dehn, which
is just across the street from Mr. Town's
brickyard. This is a very favorable local
ity for Mr. Town's business and all orders
for brick or house moving left there or ad
dressed to him through the Donaldsonville
post-office will meet with prompt attention.
