| V;llA1sous.-If our aimiabe contemporary Cor
coran of the Delta of the First District, does not
Cease the practice of adding ville to the name Of
our young city, we shall be forced to challenge
him to meet US in mortal combat with broadswords;
he to take his position in front of the Pontchar-
train Railroad depot and we in front of that of the
| Opelousas at Algers; it is to be well understood
before hand, that neither of the combatents will
be allowed to advance nearer to each other, than
the width of the Mississippi between those points
will permit Of, without wetting the feet.
Is friend G. member of the "Artesans," that
makes him persist in affixing that abomnable ville
to the name of our town every time he has occa-
sion to allude to it, Or is he ignorant of the fact
that the Legislature, by Act passed the 10th OF
March A. d. 1888, incorporated our town under
the name and style of THIBODAUX, and not
1hibodaur-VILLE? We will inform friend c.
that it is extremely disagreeable to us to the
name of our thriving city, heralded about the
Union through the widely circulated columns of the
Delta in this manner, as it goes far to prove, or
leave the impression upon the mind OF those I'M
acquainted, with the city-like aspect and CONNER
cal Importance of Thibodaux, that it is place of
very little consequence, or else the members Of
the city press, who are presumed to be well posted
in the geography of the State, would all agree in
the name, if not in the true photography of that
name, of town so well known as Thibodaux.
We have been more prolix in our remarks than
we should have been under any other circum-
stances, in drawing the attention of our cotem-
porary to the wrong he has committed against our
feelings in thus mutlating the fair name Of our
young city for we have on several other occasions
expressed disapprobaton to such course of the
part Of our city cotemporaries; and in justice to
them We must say that it has not been without its
good effects, notwithstanding they will occasionally
stick in an extra e, which is about as apropos as
fifth wheelto carriage or scabbard to the dagger
seen by Macbeth.
Mr.. Corcoran, do you mind that, now!

After the adoption Of the resolutions the com.
pany retired to sumptuous dinner, where every
thing abounded in the greatest abundance, and
where the very, best of feelings reigned.

MIDLOTHIAN PITs-We have received q
letter from the Messrs Jewett of Chesterfield (soni
of Mr.. Thomas Jewett) relative the accder
which occurred at the Midlothian Pits in 1912, the
substance Of which we append act Of justice TO
brave and worthy msu Say our informsnts:
1.-THE underground workings of the Midlothian
mines too ire from the flu of CINE fused for
drawing coal from thu dip workings) coming in
tact with the coal the mines from that point to the
shaft soon thereafter becoming sheet Of flames -
The fire az discovered at an early boor in the
morning, but then in the employ of the
company would attempt TO descend the shaft to of.
fer assistance to those below, of those in au-
thority sent Pompey Brown. slave, to the Ches-
JEwETT, who, in company with Mr.. THOMAS Y.
HALL, hastenea to the scene to render such assist.
ance they mi ght be enabled to give On arriving
the Midlothian Pits they found the shaft dscharg
the atmosphere around the works ana gave abundant
proof that the fire beneath had spread to fearful
extent. These two gentlemen, knowing the import
aDcs OF prompt action, seized dog which happened
to be and sent him to the bottom of the pit
On returning the animal above ground and findina
him uninjured, they immediately descended the
shaft and f und Mr. MeGruder and those under his
charge busily at work apparently unconscious OF
the extreme danger to which they were exposed -
Messs Je wett and Hall at once sent Mr. McGruder
and his hards out Of the pitt when they visited the
place where the fle occurred, aud sitter making
some examination returned to the surface and re
ported the nature of the accident and the progre
the fire had made. The pits were then abandon ed
and closed up 10 which state they were continued
for some time"
As Mr.. Jewett neither received nor required any
comp ensation for his noble and daring conduct it s
but justice that he should have the credit due b N
for this humane ast. Weare fullv satisfied that the
gentleman who mentioned the affair to some few
weeks snce. had desire to detract hairs breadth
which properly belongs to him and his gallant com
panion, Mr. Hall, on that occasion.
