RARE SIGHr.-An unusual sight presented
itself to the people of Lafourche on the morning Of
Tuesday, the ed instant. The shores of our
beautiful Bayou were margined with sheet Of ice
some six feet in width. The "oldest inhabitant {"
was Immediately consulted, and he asserted that
atno former period within his memory, had such
an occurrence taken place. The inference is q
natural one, therefore, that the 22d of January,
1856, was the coolest day ever experienced in this
portion Of Louisiana. We were shown ice two
inches in thickness, which, all will admit, is
pretty fair specimen for single nights operation

ed. 1t is frequently used in the present day in
stoves. by which the consumption of fuel is
avoided. Pliny, who lived 1900 years ago, said
he had seen napkins made of cloth manufac-
tured from asbestos; and that when taken from
the table after feast, they were thrown into
the fire, by which means they were rendered
cleaner than if they had been washed in water.
The principal use of asbestos cloth was for the
shrouds used at royal funerals, to wrap up the
corpse, that the human ashes might be preserv-

than usual gaety. Balls and parties have been the

The entertainment given by Capt. R. G. Darden

Of the 18th inst, may justly be styled the ball of
the season; for, in number Of participants, as well
as in other respects it by far exceeded all Others It
is estimated that the number of persons present
was between eight hundred and one thousand, of
which number, over one half were ladies, and en-
braced much OF the intelligence beauty, and wealth
of the three Lafourche Parishes. It was, indeed.
a pleasing sight to behold the many intellectual
faces to view the sylph-like FORMS and watch the
graceful movements of the fair assistants as they
tread their way through the mazes Of the dance, to
music facinating to the ear, as their accomplish
ments were to intelligence.
The supper was everything that the taste could
wish, Or that the heart could desire. While none
had reason to find fault with the delicious viands
and sparkling wines, that abounded in the greatest
plenty the pastry and confectionery departments,
