What gives additional value to tho CHIEF

A little lugger, loaded with pota-
toes, struck one of the submerged
wooden piers near the opening of Ba-
|you Lafourche, as she was emerging
from that stream Thursday morning
about 4 o'clock, and came near sink
ing before she could be run ashore.
The cargo was saved. Somebody re-
marked to us shortly after the accident
that the owner of the lugger would
probably institute suit for damages
against the steamers Lizzie Hopkins
and Henry Tete, whose captains or
dered the erection of the piers, one OF
which proved such a decided obstrue-
ton to the lugger's navigation.

In our report Of the Episcopal
Church Fair, published last week, an
error in the type-setting made us say
that the beautiful shell cross exposed
for rattle was the work of AIRS. Dillon,
when it should have read Miss Dillon,
the accomplished daughter Of the Rev.
M. NJ. Dillon, rector of the Ascension
Episcopal Church. Apropos of this,
the cross was raffled last Monday, at
the store of Mr.. Henry Loeb, and the
holder of the lucky number was Mrs.
VIM. M. Gordon, u lady whose valua-
bic assistance contributed much to the
success of the Fair.

CH1LDREN's FEsT1vAL.-The Epis-
copal Church, on Railroad Avenue,
was the scene Of a very pleasant en-
tertainment last Tuesday afternoon,
in the shape of an impromptu Chill
dren's Festival, given under the man
agement of the ladies Of the church.
About sixty children were in attend
ance, and they partook of the ice
cream, cake, candy and fruit dealt to
them by the ladies with relish that
was agreeable to contemplate. The
little folks were joyous and happy,
though orderly and quiet, and doubt
less they wish such occasions would
occur once week. At the conclusion
of the Festival, the Rev. Mr.. Dillon
announced that the amount of S847
had been paid in up to that time as
the proceeds of the Fair held the pre-
vious week, exclusive Of expenses, and
that further sum would be forthcom-
ing in few days, the proceeds of raf-
fes not yet closed. The total amount
realized from the Fair will be at least
5000. The rector and ladies Of the
church are elated over the success OF
their entertainment, and verify they
have good reason to be so.
