fest Or May festival Of the German population,
we learn, is to take place on the goth and 2Ist
proximo at the Hopkins Plantation, on the Gen.
tilly Ridge, near the Pontchartrain Railroad This
plantation is most delightful place; the best yet
selected by the Germans; and this. with the fact
that the pontchartrain cars viii afford cheap and
quick access to the spot gives good reason to be-
lieve that the festival will be greater and more

sors. The proceeds are to be devoted to worthy
object-tle building Of an asylum for sick and
destitute Germans.
