Married-On Thursday, 2lst February, by the Rev.
Mr.. CHAxsxaLrs, Henry Newell, Esqr, to Miss
Emily sample-bosh Of this parish.
We availed ourselves of the kind invi-
tation Of our friend to witness the impo
sing ceremony of the contamination Of his
nuptial vows. The bride by his side was
as beautiful as she was modest. Hers
was true woman's love which she was
giving in exchange for the fond devotion
which the groom had always borne her.
Happy indeed is he, the possessor Of such
a priceless gem. a4e 5's'
Let the light impaired from woman's
eye, cheer him ON to noble deeds Of virtue
in the accomplishment of his destiny-lel
her heart be to him richer than the raresl
gem of earth. Her love is a holy light
borrowed from on high, that burns bright.
er and brighter forever. Years cannot din
its noon day radiance, nor even falsehood
quench its rays. Like the star Of Bethele.

Word to the Reader.

Il il now some months since we have
entered upon the publication Of the Ceres.
During that time, owing to want OF
on our part of the printing bu-
siness, we have had more or less difficult
ties to contend with. Causes have arisen,
over which we could have no control,
which have caused us to be somewhat IT.
regular in our issues. In extenuation OF
the charge of negligence which has been
urged against us, and which has been
spread far and wide, we urge simply that
we were entirely dependent upon our COM
posi,or, and his neglect Of duty has fallen
more heavily upon us, than it possibly
could upon you.
Our thanks are due to our subscribers
for the forbearance which they have shown
US, under these trying difficulties which
seemed to beset us in every direction. For
the last six weeks the voice of public
clamor seems however to be hushed. TIC
make doubly sure the regular appearance
of our paper in future, we have associated
in interest with US compositor whom we
know well, and who in every respect j:
competent and we'll qualified, and perfect
| ly an fat at his business. This gentle
man is Mr.. w. r. HAYNES, whom it at
fords us much pleasure in recommending
to you. Mr.. III. will henceiorth be thu
foreman of the office and local editor Of thu
paper.
The intimation which we threw out t.
our readers some weeks since, of our in
tention Of locating in Houma, circumstan
ces which still exist, forces us to forego
We will yet appear as the editor of thi
paper and continue to direct its tone ant
/ character.

Education.

This is a subject that deserves the at
tention of every one, and more especially
is it associated with the interests Of this
community. The interest this important
subject deserves, has too long slumbered
beneath the all-absorbing propensity, to
accumulate the almighty dollar, instead of
storing the minds of their offspring, with
useful knowledge, so essential to insure
their future welfare and happiness. And
while these propensities and feelings pre-
dominate in the breast Of the parent, SO
long will the rising generation remain
neglected in the culture Of their mental
and moral capacities. We contend no
small responsibility rests with those
parents who are rearing sons and daugh-
tiers, that will soon be called upon to act
their part in the great drama of life.
Soon, very soon, will the destinies of our
beloved country be confided to their care,
and as such will eventually be the case. il
requires no further proof to convince the
intelligent and thinking mind, of the ne
cessity of education. and directing their
minds in a proper channel, so as to enable
them honorably to fill whatever station in
life, destiny may throw them. A proper
education not only fosters Domestic hap
piness. but smoo,hs the rough and uneven
path of life, and assists US to yield more
submissively to the inimitable dispense
ton of a kind Providence, like the diamond
when taken from its native bed; it ex
hibits to the eye only rough mass ane
plain exterior, but when the hand Of ar
has been brought to bear in removing thi.
rough and rugged coat, it shines pervertly
with all the sparkling lustre and brillianc;
Of the rainbow as it is with education
When the young mind has been fairly de
veloped by proper and careful education
it unfolds the noblest traits Of character
and calls forth these latent powers Of mint
and talent, that might otherwise have
slumbered in obscurity forever. II THU
be true, the necessity of universal educa
ton is very great, and should elict ou
warmest support and influence. g-
/ Moreh0use Advocate.

Mr.. roa:-Bavins seen in back number Of the
Houma Ceres an article the propety of constructing
SHE'LL ROAD from Thibodaux 10 Rouma, and also Tor
opening the Canal these two points - work Of
vital Importance allow through the medium of your
widely circulated paper hng this important subject to
the door Of every farmer 1.-THE Bayou Tenebonne
During the summer Of 1885, had sat water within 10
miles of Houma and five miles above the terminaton OF
salt water the tide six inches for about four months
bringing tide water within eleven miles Of Houna.
This is frequently the case OF a dry season.
Now ithe Terrebonne dug out say fifteen miles below
Houma up to the Canal-ths would bring tidewater t.
Houma and we would have navigation the year round
If tid-water comes within eleven miles Of Houma-which
it undoubtedly does-woud not the digging of the Tere
bonnie three feet deeper than is accomplish the OBJ
ect. Thus with Shell Road from Thibodanx 10 Houua
and good navigation from Houma to the Sesshore We
can all see the great advantage to b, derived from such
a work.
But must leave the subject to ADLER hands.

Tho Irregularity Of our Malls.

We do not pretend to account for the
irregularities of our mails nor to attach
blame to any one, but we would like a
solution Of the mystery attending the nom
delivery Of our mails on the days that they
are due. Some may be Indifferent on this
score, but we assure the heads of the Post
Office department, officials, mail contrac-
tors ct ali, that this state Of things is be-
coming entirely intolerable. If we are
to have but two mails week, then in the
name of common justice, let US have them
regularly, and do not for the sake Of your in
efficiency in business and criminal neglect
Of duty, submit US to such severe torture,
remaining secluded from the world, without
the possibility Of knowing what is going
on therein. If it were not that Berger's
Express brings down occasionally city
paper, we would betray such gross
ignorance Of what is transpiring beyond
the limits Of our own immediate neighbor-
hood, that the world would soon take Us
for a community Of regular Rip Van
Wrinkles. .s-.-...
We trust that public attention will be
directed to the present state Of affairs,
in order TO remedy the now existing evils,
and to provide additional facilities for OBJ
tanning daily mail, which. in view Of the
Railroad and the Houma Expresses, may
be easily achieved. @
