James D. Howell.
        In the death of this good citizen, on the 29th ult., Morehouse parish has
sustained an irreparable loss.  For years he has complained of pulmonary
disease, and has retarded its progress by several trips to San Antonio.  He
was about sixty years old.  He leaves a wife and child and three
step-children.  His fortune is large and unincumbered, and if prudently
managed, will make them all rich.

        Henderson Lee, colored, an escaped street convict, was hung by a mob in
Morehouse parish last week.  Lee was a bad man and generally distrusted.
What he had done to bring upon himself so dreadful a punishment is not
known.  The precedent is bad, and if such a thing is ever justifiable, it
should be done with the greatest circumspection.
