Fair 1t MasNnic Hall.

The ladies' fair, last evening, for the pur-
chase of an organ for St. John the Baptist
church, on Dryades street, had the usual
attractions. A number of the Catholic
clergy were present whose names we did
ascertain. From the general hilarity that
prevailed, it is inferred that the receipts
were in excess of the previous nights. The
fair will be continued until next week.

There are large amounts of certificates Of

employed in and around the departments Of

about the streets at eighty-one and eighty
two cents on the dollar, to meet their press

people have been much increased BY the

Department ef improvements.
The bids for shelling and grading Ma
rengo street, which were opened by the
Administrator on the eighth instant, have
al been rejected. The last bid, by Joseph
Kaiser, at g 30, was certainly low enough,
and might have been accepted but for the
fact that the ole contract, made by the late
City Of Jefferson with H. H. Ramins, in
cluded this street, and the legality Of that
contract is still in controversy before the
Eighth District Court.
Bids for grading and shelling Soniat

Drainage.
The heavy rain of Thursday morning
again submerged, for few hours, q portion
of the city near Claiborne street and the
New canal. The Galvez canal is "Slough of
Despond," and the poor in that region have
for third time this year had their garden
vegetables destroyed. And yet these i'm
poverished people are charged with the
drainage tax.
The Administrator of Improvements and
the Surveyor have been persistent in their
efforts to remedy this state of things by in
sisting on the immediate erection Of new
and powerful engines at the Melpomene and
Bienville street draining machines. Is there

The Iberville News saws of the crops

Under the influence of fine weather and
the fear that jack frost may put in his ap-
pearance inopportunely, majority of our
sugar planters have commenced rolling,
and the curling smoke from busy sugar
houses dots the horizon in all directions.
Some fields of cane are still too green to
cut with any profit, and time must be
given for them to fully ripen. Much disap-
pointment ia expressed at the unexpectedly
small yield, and we fear we shall be forced
to reduce our estimate Of the number of
hogsheads Of sugar which will be produced
in 1berville parish this year. Still we hope
for the best, for our people are lily prepared
to Withstand the disastrous consequences
of short crop.

ROBERTSON & Co.-Our readers will find
in our advertising columns the card of this
firm, for which We ask a perusal. They
will perceive that the firm is composed of
Judge J. B. Robertson, gentlemen known
throughout the State as an able jurist and
profound scholar, as well as indomitable
energy and business qualifications of high
order. His health forcing him to leave his
practice at the bar for some more active
pursuits, he has associated with himself
Captain D. DeHaven, who is par excellance
the popular and accomplished steamboat
man Of the Mississippi and its tributaries
q man who never blew up boat or q
friend-who knows no such word as fail,
nor understands how to do mean action.
A business man all over, whatever is en-
trusted to him will be done well. Such Q
firm deserves success, and we hope sim
cerely that they will find it. ,4

Caleaslea ealDhaF and 1llning Csapapy.
One Of the most important and valuable
productions Of Louisiana will be from the
sulphur mines Of Calcasieu parish. The
mines will be worked by the Calcasieu Sui
phur and Mining Company, with capital
Of seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
The stock Of this company consists Of
three classes-full paid, preferred and ordi-
dinary. On the full paid stock nothing is
due, of course. The preferred stock il
liable to assessment only after ordinary
stock has been assessed up to thirty-6ve
dollars share, and then the limit of both
Of these classes of stock is the par value of
full paid-fifty dollars. ..-.r.,ts.
There are FIVE thousand shares of ordi-
nary stock and half "a many shares of pre-
ferred. The fact that of one hundred and
twenty-five thousand dollars assessed on
the ordinary stock, or in all twenty-five
dollars share, less than two thousand dol
lars remain unpaid, indicates confidence
among the stockholders that the mines will
will yield . magnificent profit. ....
There is but little Of the stock on the
market, and there is no probability that any
considerable amount will find it's way there.
Full paid stock is in demand, and recent
sales have besn made at from thirty to thir-
ty-fve dollars share.
Another aseesAment Of i've dollars share
on the ordinary stock will be made on the
first Of December, probably, and another
similar assessment in March next. It is
not probable that any further assessment
will be required, but if there is, ordinary
and preferred stock will jointly bear the
burden.
The work at the mines is vigorously
prosecuted, and about hundred thousand
dollars has been psid tor machinery, which
has or soon will leave Calais, France, whore
it was being shipped, according to the latest
advices. The mineral wealth of Louisiana
will be partially developed from the sulphur
mines, when they are in operation, to the
extent Of millions Of dollars.
The Calcasieu Sulphur Company have
sought no aid from the State nor the nation
al government, and will develop their mines
with their own aggregated capital, thus
adding materially to the industries and
products of Louisiana. The duty on the
iron shaft, engines and machinery, which
are soon to arrive, will amount to about
$3.50
1t is pleasure to notice large and i'm
portant Joint stock enterprises, and it
would be better for the State if there were
more of them.
