Reports from Natehitoches show therehas been no increase in smnallpox at thatplace for more than a week. The totalnumber of cases at that point is five.They are isolated and well cared for, andnine of them have died. We make thisstrtement in order to correct exaggeratedreports that have gone out.

M3ems. John Pennington and FrankGardrer. of Pollock,*rived in Colfax onThursday with one John T. Leon, sup.p- red to be inane and a fit subject forinterdiction. Leon was in Colfax andByce a few weeks since with a troupeo! aorobate, gts, dogts, etc. He will beexamined and his case submitted to thejudge.

The road reviewers of ward one aredater mined to see that overseers in theirterritory shall do a fair amount of workon the roads this year, and that theyshall be kept in better order than here.to!ore. We overheard them a few daysaslie discussing what they regarded astheir duty in this matter, and we wouldad .ie road overseers to give their roads oa thorough overhauling.

The town of Colfax, like all the othertowns in this section, as had a shotun gaqu trantine in force for the pst week, onscoonat of the supposed dagspr frommanlpox. The reports from New Or.leans, Natobhitoahes, Shreveport and other LInfected points indicate that the disease 01is being kept well in hand, and there has wbeen no inerease, The epidemic is u ti.do-btedly sbsLding at all points, andthe quarantine blookade win doubtlessbe raised in a few days.

The New Orleam Picayune has se-eu-ed the valuable srvices of Dr. W. H.Dalrymple as editor of its agricultural Ld-partment. The Picayune is noted for inits reliability sad sterling integrity in all ometter, and its forethought is obtainingthe services of Dr. Dalrymple is greatlyto be commended. He has already se-cured great prominence as an agricul- titoual writer, and his reputation as such 'will doubtles make the Pieayune a mostdesirablg paper to all interested and pro- agremelve farmers. 0

The Republican-Populists expect tohove a basket picnic at Pollock on next sotWodnesday, if the smallpox scar does unot break it up. Capt. Pharr will prob-ably be on hand to make his usual speeoh,but re wewill wager a brand new hat thatN-. Brede, the old Radical Republicanof Natchitoclhs, will not be there admake any such ineendiary talk to theaegroes as he made at this place three aweks agao. And if he shoald. we will isguarantee that Mers. Shackelford,Machen, Hnndley, Smith and the other-ombine candidsts will not give him a.mu:h applause er show the same delightasthey did here.
