The attendance at the skating rink last
night was quite small. Do our lads and las
eies propose to neglect these entertain
ments at the very time of the year when
they will be most enjoyable? It must be
taken into consideration, however, that this
is the busy season, and that many who
would like to patronize the rink are pre
esnted from doing so by business duties.

"Buy the Lewis Hand Fire Extinguisher,',
is the caption of a new advertisement ap
pearing in this issue of our paper, and all
who have seen this simple, cheap and ad
mirable invention tested will acknowledge
that the advice is good. The Lewis is far
ahead of any hand extinguisher yet invented
and is rapidly coming into use among the
merchants, manufacturers, planters, steam
boatmen and property holders generally
of this State. A public exhibition of the
capacity of the device for putting out fire
Was given in Donaldsonville not long ago,
by Mr. Fred. P. Allen, general agent for
Louisiana, and the perfect success of the
experiment was reported in the Cama. The
price of the extinguisher puts it within the
easy reach of all who have property to pro
tect from fire, and none shoulil be without
it. A few dollars invested in this way may
be the means of saving thousands.
