The case of Brown tutor vs. Mrs.Dugas, was tried by a jury and a ver-dict rendered on Thursday in favor ofthe plaintiff for the tract of land incontest and for rent to the amount of

$750. The case of Simon Bloch vs.Sol. Loeb was on trial before a jury atthe time we went to press.

We have received for publication toolate for this issue the proceedings ofthe parish convention of the farmers'Union held at Bayou (Chicot last week,and will publish them in full next week.These proceedings will be found to beinteresting, especially theiaction takenin reference to the attempt to get outan independent canadidate against Mr.Blanchard in the fourth district. Theconvention condemned that move invery strong language and there byshows that the Alliances of this greatparish are true and sound to the corein their allegiance to the democraticparty. It is a timely utterance anddemonstrates that this organisation inour parish is in safe hands.

Capt. J. J. Thompson and Mr. P. D.Williams attended as delegates fromthe Opelousas Alliance.

The races, an eye witness tells us.that took place on the Opelousas racecourse, on the 4th and 5th insts., werenumerous, but the horses, with a fewexceptions, were not very fast. Butlittle money was bet, and consequentlythere was not much excitement. Thefastest trotting, one mile, was done byP. D. Williams' brown stallion, KingWilliam, in 3:10; and it is thoughtthat, with practice and training, hecan do it in 2:40. The track is new,but it is in good condition; and thereis no reason, with the well bred youngstock that is coming on in this see-tion, why it should not be wellpatronized in the near future.
