Where is that Eagle's Nest!
Attempting, a few days ago, to mail a copy of the Echo to the St. Bernard Eagle, we looked in vain all over that newsy sheet for its post-office address. Even the locality of the Court House of St. Bernard is doubtful. The sheriff, in his tax sale advertisement, says it is near the Slaughter House. But where, and what is the Slaughter House! Is it a place where beeves are killed for market, or is it the parish site, and if the latter why is the Court House not in it, instead of being only near it?
Come, Mr. Eagle, give us your post office address. We want to enter it on our exchange list.
