% A certain Sunday school teacher was
in the practice of taking up a collection in
his juvenile class for missionary objects
every Sunday; and his box received scores
of pennies which might otherwise have
found their way to the drawers Of the con-
fectioner and toy man. He was not little
surprised, however, one Sunday, to find a
bank bill crushed in among the weight of
copper. He was not long in finding il to be
of broken bank; and on asking The class
who put it there, the donor was soon pointed
out 10 him by his class mates, who had seen
him deposit it. and thought it a very bene-
VIOLENT gift & Didn't you know that this
bill was good for nothing 2" said the teacher
"Yes," said the boy. "Then what did you
put it in the box for" Il didn't s'pose the
little heather would know the difference, and
so it would be just as good for them.

to yesterday evening, the number of deaths
within our incorporated limits and suburbs, has
been twelve. Among the deaths in the country,
we have to note that Of Mr.. D. W. Mitchell, Of
the firm of Mitchell & Egana, planters, opposite
this place, who died on Tuesday last, the 4th

of new cases. Although we have had several

All that portion of our parish (Lafourche) lying

in the northern portion of that parish, contigu-

THE INEEpENDENT.-We have received the
third and fourth number of aneat, spiritedimpe-
rial sheet, published at Harrisonburg, in this
state, bearing the above title. The Independent

selections entitle it to rank among the first Of

THE C. d. JR.-We call attention to the card
of the steamer c. D. Jr., Captain Dalferes's

water in the Ohio will permit her to pass over
the falls.

LUXURIOUS KISSING DESCRIBED Plea
yune says that almost any writer can describe
emotions of joy, anger, fear, doubt or hope
but that there are very few who can give any
thing like an adequate description of the exqui
site, heavenly and thrilling joy of warm, affec-
tionate kissing. We copy below three of the
best Of attempts that we have ever seen. The
first is by young lady during her first year Of
courtship: -a
"Iet thy arm twine
Around me like zone Of love,
And thy fond lip, so soft,
To mine be passionately pressed,
As it has been SO off,"
The next is by lady shortly after her en-
gagement. 1t will readily be seen that hel
powers Of description are far in advance of the
ones quoted above:
"Sweetest love-
Place thy dear arms beneath my dropping head
And let me lowly nestle on thy heart;
Then turn those soul-Et orbs on me- and press
My parting lips to taste the ecstacy
Impaired by each long and lingering kiss"
But the best thing we have seen is the follow.
ing, by Alexander Smith. We think, however
that when man so freely INDUCES in osculatory
nectar as to imagine he is g walking on thrones
he should be choked off Hear him:
My soul leaped up beneath thy timid kiss;
What then to groans,
Or pain, or death i? Earth round Of bliss
seemed to walk on thrones"

READ THIs.-Feeling deep anxiety to lay
before our readers an accurate statement Of the
ravages of the late direfu pestilencc, we would
be extremely obliged to physicians and heads of
families to assist i'll so doing, by furnishing US
with answers to the following interrogatories:
l. How many sick persons have you had
under treatment or in your respective families
since the 18th day of August last till date?
2. How many have died?
3. What is the name, age, sex, color, and
place of nativity Of each, whether sick or dead ?
A tabular statement may be made up in this
way, without any great trouble OF inconvenience.
We would call upon such of our fellow-citizens
as feel an anxiety of procuring true statement
of the late epidemic to interest themselves in
securing the above valuable information. Our
merchants possess this advantage to a greater
extent than any other class Of the community
1t would be an easy matter for them to keep a
list handy and when any one enteredsfor2 the
purpose of making purchases, to ask the ques-
ton above set forth and note their answers. Any
information on this subject will be thankfully
received either in person, or by leaving note
to our address, to be left at the post office, resi-
dence, or at the Office Of the Minerva.

4 MAGAZINES. -Godey's Lady's Book for the
present month has reached us, and is truly one
Of the most interesting numbers issued of late.
The embellishments are spirited, chaste, and
numerous the literary contributions of the
highest order-and its toute ensemble, worthy the
enterprising pioneer of the American monthlies.
Peterson's Ladies's National for October, is
really bjou. The "Unconscious Sleeper" q
beautiful mezzotint is alone worth the subscrip-
tion price to the Magazine fsr whole year.
This number contains superior fashion plate
Les Nodes Parisiennes. The literary contents of
the present number fully sustain the high repu-
tation Of this popular periodical.

OB1ruAEIEs.-We owe an apology to a twain
of our lady subscribers, Mesdame.s NIB. and s.,
for promise of notices under the above head,
which entirely escaped our memory until put
ting the edition to press. They shall meet with
attention in our next.

WING MEETISG.-Saturday next is the day
fixed upon for the meeting of the Senatorial
Delegates to select a candidate to represent this
district in the State Senate Candidates for
the Lower House, for this Parish, will also be
selected ON that day. We are fearful that the
existence of sickness will operate in keeping the
people from attending; but, as the election is
near at hand, something should be done in the
premises. Perhaps, if the place for meeting
were changed, a much larger attendance would
be insured. 1t is not yet too late to change the
place of meeting by giving notice in posters to
that effect. Let those interested see to it.
Thibodaux minerva., 1853-10-08

CLosED.-Our Court House, which has been
used as an Infrmary by the Howard Assacia-

Cor. VAN P. WISDER.-It gives us pleasure,
on the assurance Of the Hon G. s. Guion, to
correct the rumor Of the death of Col. V. P.
Winder, of the parish of Terrebonne. Judge
Guion received a letter from Col Winder bear
ing date on the very day that we gave publicity
in our columns to the rumor Of his death. Bad
news, generally speaking, is apt to be true
but this is one instance, at least, wherein the
rule has not held good, and we are rejoiced in
noting the fact. May the gallant Colonel live
for many years to come, and make all around
him happy by his pleasing wit and racy anec-

R2T The thanks Of our citizens are due to r.
G. Darden, ESQ.,, for many favors, such as wood,
meats. vegetables, etc., furnished our town du-
ring the late epidemic.
Thibodaux minerva., 1853-10-08

WELL MERITED.-It is SO very seldom that
we hear of really good action-one performed
entirely free from interested motives-that we
cannot forbear mentioning the following: Every
body who is at all acquainted in Thibodaux,
must know Auguste Roger. Mr.. Roger, since
the outbreaking of the epidemic has been the
most forward in lending assistance to the sick
and distressed; in truth, all his time has been
spent in alleviating the wants Of our suffering
and disease stricken citizens. A generous
planter of this vicinity, Mr.. A. O., hearing Of
the many good actions of Auguste, inclosed a
double-eaglc, which he begged him to accept as
a partial recompense for his really christian
conduct. Never was such compliment more
Justly merited We have on divers occasions,
during the prevalence Of the yellow fever, been
witness to the truly generous heart and kindly
sensibilities Of Auguste. Such noble actions
show in an eminent degree the hidden qualities
Of the man; and were he to receive dozen
more such favors, his labors would not be over
recompensed.
Thibodaux minerva., 1853-10-08

BI-VALvEs.-Last week, we were wondering
whether Crank" intended catering for us In
the oyster Line, during the coming winter. and
judge onr surprize when making our way up
Main street, just after we had stricken of our
last edition, we beheld that old familiar sign
"Little Gallon Oysters always on -EG;" We
popped in, Paul Pry like, and there stood " Frank"
in propria persona, who on seing us exclaimed,
"yes stree. Bob" 1t is needless to say our
query is at m end, and Frank is now serving
his old customers, as usual, with most delicious
oysters at his old stand, where he will continue
to hold forth, the coming winter.

HORRIBLE BRUTALITY AT BUESos AYREs.-A
letter from Buenos Ayres, in the New York Times,
relates some instances of horrid cruelty perpe-
trated by Gen. Urquiza, previous to his fight.
One instance was that of Donna Martina Pando,
wife of D. Morino Roman, who wrote letter to
an officer named Capaeo, advising him to leave
the ranks of Urquiza and join those of the legal
Government. Capaco who had been fed and
clothed by the lady, when he was in great pow
erty, pretended to favor her wishes, but at the
first opportunity betrayed her to Urquiza, who
ordered her instant arrest, and sentenced her to
receive 800 lashcs, and prodecded, in person,
accompanied by Lagos, his colleague, to see the
sentence executed. The victim was led out,
stripped entirely Of her clothing, and placed in
the midst of the squadron of soldiers assigned
to infict the punishment. The cries and agony
of the wretched woman, at an exposure so much
more horrible to her than death itself, had no
effect upon her heartless executioncrs. Before
the stripes were fourth inflicted she had
tainted from pain and loss of blood, and shortly
after he was apprized that the suferings of the
poor wretch were ternined. She was dead.
With an excess of inhumanity which is almost
incredible, the monster ordered the remaining
number of stripes to be inflicted upon the corpse,
and finally left the spot forbidding the removal
Of the remains

New ORLEASs.--The wings Of New Orleans
