Notwithstanding the session of the.District Court this week, our town has

been somewhat dull. Many countrypeople are in town, but business doesnot appear to be particularly brisk, ex-cept for the lunch and lodging houses.

The attention of all having saddle orhar.nss work to be done or repaired isdiredted to the card of Mr. O. Guidryin another column. His shop is nowon Main street, near the store of Mr. .1.K. Sandoz. Give him a call.

Our venerable friend, Mr. B. Martel,and his son Sully and their families leftlast week to resume their residence inthe parish of St. Mary. Many friendsregret their departure and hope thatthey may soon come back among us.

The constant rush at J. K. Sandoz'sfor bargains is a sufficient indication ofthe location of the Cheap Cash Store ofOpeloneas. Just think-boys' suits at$1.25, men's suits at $4, men's and boys'shoes at 75 cents, best hand-turned la-dies' shoes at $2.75, and so on.

Lake Charles will have a nationalbank in a few days, with a capital of$50,000. The little town of Homer,La., has subscribed $75,000 for a simi-lar institution and has already electedits board of directors, president andcashier. Now, it is Opelousas~ turnnext!

Best full width flannel at 30 cents peryard, at J. K. Sandos's. Gents' furnish-Sin goods at 20 per cent below usualpces. The grocery department is notneglected, and everything is sold atroebottom prices. Too busy to givefurther prices on goods, but a call willconvince any one that we sell cheap.

-The dramatic entertainment, supperand ball given on Wednesday night atPerrodin's Hall for the benefit of theEpiscopal Church, though not very nu-merously attended, was nevertheless avery enjoyable and auccessful affair, Asnug little sum was realized,,above ex-.pess, which will go to swell the build-"lg fond of the pretty church now incontae of erection.

Mr. Gus. E. Dupr6 having boughtot the livery and feed stable of Mr.Megluney will devote his personal at-tenmton to the busi n toure andcan guarantee goodl- t and thebest of ervie to his patrons.

commit murder.Octave White, horse stealing.Edmond Guidry, larcen •,Armand Forest et als., endeavoring

through violence and threats to compela person to leave the parish.

D. W. Chilehrist, assault and bat tery.Geo. Garrigues, larceny.Don Louis Lejune, horse stealing.Henry Hayes, cruelty to animals.Pierre Little, carrying a pistol:J. Duveau, horse stealing.Octave Bushnel, bribing a witness.Claiborne Wilson, murder.Oscar Tate, murder.The jury in the case of A, L. Gout-

nay vs. Sandwith Johuson et als. ren-dered a verdict in favor of plaintiff.

On Monday, the case of Cheney Lin-too, an Indian, indicted for murder, wastried by a jury and a verdict of guiltywithout capital punishment was run-dered.

Pierre Littell, charged wwith carry ingconcealed weapous, pleaded guilty antiwas sentenced to sixty days in the par-ish jail and a fine of $50 and costs; indefault of payment of fine and costs,30 days additional imprisonment.

Laurent Woodrunt pleaded guilty toa charge of violating Act 31, and wastined $15 and costs; in default of pay-ment, 30 days confinement in the par-iah jail.

On Tuesday, the case of the CouleeCroche Regulators was called up, andall the defendants being in court theDistrict Attorney moved for a sever-ance, so that they be tried two or threeat a time, as follows: Charles Arabi andBlanc Beard ; Gerrasin Meche and Las-tie Smith; Ursin Bandreas and JeromeSmith; Leoval Meche, Syphorien Mecheand Eugene Meche, for the reasons thatthere being nine defendants formallyindicted, there would be in their behalfthe right to challenge 108 jurors per-emptorially. This fact alone, withoutconsidering the number of peremptorychallenges to the State, shows, underthe circumstances, how diflicult it wouldbe, if not impossible, to secure a jurysnell as should be empanneled to try thecase if all the defendants ,s tried to-gether.

His Honor, Judge Lewis, after hear-ing arguments of tile conusel for theState and the defense, granted the sev-erance as prayed for, when the Stateannounced their readiness for trial, butsome important witnesses for the de-fense not being in attendance, the casewas laid over subject to call.

On Thursday the case of ClaibornWilson, indicted for murder, was takenup, and a jury impanneled. The trialof the case occupied the entire day,when it was given to the jury, and asthey had not agreed upon a verdictwhen the Court adjourned, they werelocked up for the night.

The jury in this case came into Courtat its assembling Friday morning, andreported that they could not agree upona verdict, when they were dischargedand a mistrial entered.

Spend Your Money at Home.

The residents of Opelousas and viciu-ity have certainly no cause to complainthat they cannot find here at home allthe necessities and luxuries of life thatthey may reiqlire, for it cannot be de-iied that maun of tlie large mercantileestablishments of Opelousas are boun-tifully supplied wv ith everything in theirline, and their prices, owing to briskcompetition, ate generally below thoseof other localites, and leaves no shadowof an excuse for sending abroad for any-thing-either in the line of staple orfancy goods, dry goods or groceries.Among the most extensive establish-ments in (Opelousas, and one which isfast buildinig up an imnense businessand a high and deserved reputation forlow pitices and fair dealing, we mightmention the well known firm ofJ. Mey-ers & Co., whose splendid store is situ-ated on the cornie of Alain and Landrystreets, and where may be fouind per-haps the largest and best assorted stockof general merchandise in the parish,besides several lines of specialties notto be found any where else in this sec-lion of Louisiana, while in the matterof low prices they just "take the cake."

Wi were shown a large lot of stylishmillinery, sample hats and bonnets," just too utterly lovely for anything,'"which had been purchased at a bargain,and were going for less than half theusuai pi ices ; a lot of giitllemen's hats,sanplltes, some woirth as intuch as $3-all going at 50) cciits each; a lot oftoys' hats, all soIts, given away at '25celints acth.

We ilight, eclmlllni-alle (ll iifinituvN ,the rar• lhargains this wvide awake firniare contiuiuiall y otYeiing their patrons,but the above will suf.ice to minake thejudicious and economical bIyer under-standl that it will hle worth while togive J. Meyers & Co. a ca

The Regulators.

The trial of of the men who attempted to"-regulate" Mr. Duplichain in Coulde Croche,some months ago, which will soon come up be-

fore our District Court, is attracting attentionoutside the parish. Commenting upon it, theN. O. Times-Democrat says :

The prosecuting officers have shown them-selves active and determined, and have se-enred that severance in the trial of the aso-oused that will prevent a wh!olesale challeng-lng of jurors.,t. Landry owes it to its splendid record toprove that it is not only possible to break up the

regulators there and arrest evil-doers, but topunish them also. Its reputation for peace,order and obedience to the law is excelledby no parish in Louisiana, and to this is duehe prosperity St. Landry is now enjoying,evidenced by the immigration into the parishuand by the large increase in wealth-an in-crease which the last assessment shows to beso many times greater the improvement inthose parishes which excuse or tolerate regu-latorism.

When regulatorism first reared its hydra-headed front in St. Landry, the CouneaEpromptly denounced it and persisted in de-nouncing and calling down upon it the ven-geance of the outraged law, until a healthy

public sentiment was aroused which neitherthe law-breakers nor their apologists couldwithstand, and which gave to our authoritiesthe assurance that they would be sustainedby the mass of the people in the strict andstern discharge of their duty. If we wouldescape th' shameful atrocities which havestained the annals of some of our sister par-ishes, our officials, who have shown commend-able zeal in the suppression of lawlessness,nmust still be backed up by our juries, and nogalty man must be allowed to escape. OurMares welfare depends upon a strict per.

formeaee of their duty.
