Part of a Town Swept Away.
An Iberville, (LonlsanaJpnper of lust
week says ! Our town wan visited with a
most terrible ualnmlty oti the evening of
the 17th ult. . About 8 IV M. a crash wai
lieaid on the river front; at the head of
Main street, and the people living near tbe
levee, who rushed out of their bouses to
see what was the matter, discovered that
one-half of the brick warehouse of Mr. A.
Caneza hud fallen into the river, and the
levee bad also gone down. A abort time
nfterwaid we arrived upon tbe scene when
the remainder of the building went into tbe
river.
A Planters' warehouse, occupied by Mr.
Gustave Hoth, was the next to go. In
this building was a lot of sugar aud mo
lasses, but by great exertions this was
rolled out and fortunately taved. In a
short time the building occupied by Mr.
Lahore us a cake shop began to totter, aud
before everything could be taken out, it
went over in the river with a loud crash.
Tbe night was very dark, but by the aid
of a lantern we wended our way along to
ward tbe mouth of the bayou, whero we
found the levee caving in all the way up to
the point at the bayou. Every one living,
on Front street were moving their goods
aud chatties. Attempting to return, we
"found a yawning gulf of water in place of
the road over which we had just travelled.
We then came into Bank street, and on
going around to the head of Pledemiug
street, we found it was there the cave had
.begun. It was now about 12 o'clock mid
night, and we left the scene.
Early on the following morning we again
visited the scene of disaster, aud we found
that the row of bouses on Front street, con
sisting of some ten or twelve, were ou the
brink of the cave,' about to topple over.
Tbe people were tearing down their houses
aud endeavoring to save tbe lumber. Eight
houses fell into the river, and about a dozen
more have since been torn down, and before
the levee is built over thirty bouses will
.have disappeared from the most populous
portion of the town. This is doubly unfor
tunate, as the greater portion of this prop
erty belonged to poor people, who have
been deprived of their homes by this sad
-disaster.
This cave will necessitate th building of
a new levee about 1,800 feet in length, aud
as now laid off by tbe State engineers will
.deprive a large number of poor peoplo of
.every vestige. of home.
,A Sad Case.
The Philadelphia North American of
the 24th inst., says : Coroner Goddard
yesterday held an inquest upon tbe body of
a boy named William B. Harvey, a soldier's
orphan, who died at the University Hospi
tal from the effect of abuse administered
by H. E. Eida, a resident of Lambertville,
New Jersey. It appears that the lad was
an inmate of the Northern Home, and was
sent laBt September from that institution
to the farm of Eida. Last week he was
brought back to the city, with his feet so
badly frozen as to be unable to walk. He
said that during the time he was employed
at tbe farm he was compelled to rise at an
early hour aud chop wood, and that if be
failed to obtain a certain amount in a
given time he would be deprived of his
breakfast, and that he had gone without
his meals on nine different occasions. He
also stated that about two weeks before
coming home ho bad been severely beaten,
and that his feet became frozen from being
compelled to work out in the cold. The
Coroner's physician testified regarding the
post-mortem. Several bruises upon the
back were found. The toes appeared as if
they had been severely frozen ; two toes on
the right foot aud one on the left were mis
sing. Tbe feet were in a gangrenous con
dition. The case was postponed until next
Tuesday, and in the meautime Mr. Eida
will be visited by an officer of the law. Ex
Mayor Fox and oflicors of the Grand Army
of the Republic were present at the in
quest. Lions About I
UP In Maidstone, Englaaud, tbe other
day, the master and mistress of Bt. John's
school, which was built and endowed by
tbe late Earl of Ilomney, quarreled, through
jealousy on the part of the woman of her
niece. In a fit of pnssiou she threw a
knife at her husband as they' were sitting
together at a table, and the point of the
knife striking bor husband in the throat
killing him almost instantaneously.

It is dangerous thing to trifle with a
cold. A darkey preacher once told his
hearers that he thanked God, "that tho
devil went about as a roaring lion, seeking
whom he might devour. He might catch
a poor fellow who didu't know that he was
near bira ; but when he beard the roar ho
could get out of the way; if he didn't, he de
served to die.'' 8o when one hears the
wheeze or tUe cough which tolls of the old
lion or Consumption lurking around, he
should f.y to Dn.' AViktaivs Balsam ow
Wild Cherry, and get out of the way of
aauger. i uis preparation is welt known,
has been tried nearly fifty years, and is
