We take from the news:
   *****
   The track on the Opelousas Railroad {New Orleans, Opelousas & Great Western RR} that was torn up has been again replaced, and the connection, where the bridges have been destroyed, is now made with skiffs. The train can only come 30 miles on this side of Algiers to Bayou des Allemand, the balance of the route having to be made on hand cars. There is little or no travel now over the road.
