FINE CLoTH1NG.-We take pleasure in

Messrs. r. Sproule & McCown, Nos. 40

St. Charles Hotel, New Orleans. They
have now in store an elegant assort-
ment of gentlemen's custom-made cloth
ing, embracing suits for every occasion
business suits, suits for balls and par
ties, and the celebrated Star Shirts,
made expressly for their trade, and re-
commended as the best made, best fit
ting and most economical shirt to be
had in New Orleans. Having a buyer
always in New York to select their
clothes, and a mandatory of their own,
where the best and most experienced
hands are employed, they can offer
great inducements to purchasers. Our
old friend and former fellow-towns-
man, Mr.. w. H. Rogers, familiarity
known by host of friends as Billy
Rogers, as clever and genial a gentle
man as ever walked, is with Messrs.
Sproule & McCown, and we advise our

and really deserves liberal patronage
He has many life-like scenes of our
Town and Pineville, taken at various
times, and specially during the recent
Christmas snow storm, which he will
sell at very moderate prices. Many Of
them should be at once bought, as most

I Why should we croak and always
give way to the fits of the blues? At
best life is but short, and enjoyments
rare, few and far between; therefore,
we, the dancing and woman adorer of
the Democrat, are fully determined to
take old Father Time by the forelock,
drive dull care away, dance and be
young again, on the night of Monday,
February Sd, 1873. Dear reader, angel
in girls, bewitching and gay widows,
the place for all this will be the mag
nificent Ball Room of the Exchange
Hotel, under the genial guidance and
special invitation of the pride and boast
of our Town, the Stonewall Hook and
Ladder boys. This is a sufficient hin,
to our yet live folks, who we know will
chcerfully and merrily answer the roll
call of our young and gallant knights
of the Hook and Ladder.

Town Election.

At the recent Town election
all passed quietly, decently and
without as much as dog fight. We
must. however, partly except the Sec
ond Ward, the classic and elite Ward OF
our devoted burgh. More in pain than
pleasure, we must record the doleful
fact that somebody struck Billy Patter-
son, that some mischief-bent incognito
threw the last brick and one devoted
Uranium was slightly softened. We
had better opinion Of outside humanity
thus to gush in our classic Ward and
mar the genial harmony of its good
folks at home. Outsiders should bear
in mind that we have right to boast of
the classic Second, for it is the Ward of
Wards, and claims, par excellence, to pc
the abode of the Democrat office, whose
Editor was the peoples choice and hon
ored as his own successor as Council
man. In its limits are the new Town
wharf, two of the largest and finest
Warehouses in the Corporation; the
Hebrew Synagogue, an ornament to the
Town; many fine and palatial residen-
ces; the abode of the best of our Medi-
cal Faculty;a fine Livery Stable, the
best conducted outside Of New Orleans;
Fluck's young Africa Saloon; and last,
though not least, the home and voting
Ward of Judge John Orsborn, the late
Judge of our District Court. Certainly
with such a picture have we not right
to boast, and to regret that such a Ward,
on election day, should be intruded up
on and its sacred precinct punctured by
intruders. But such is wrong and er-
TOR, that the humble, but wide-awake
Second Warders soon saw the CT cam in
the cheese and moved at once to the
front and gave lesson to the youthful
knights, which they will not soon for
get, and can but be of profit 10 them.-
A piece of good advice for them in the
future may pay them-we give it with
out charge. When you have a eight to
fight" on given day, keep your pow
der dry, shut off your gas and wait for
the day, and then face the music like
men and wade in; don't be children.
nay worse than children, and put on
your war paint, brandish your toma-
hawk, count your men in buckram and
belch forth your bile all away from the
battle field, in slop shops and on the
street corners. All that don't count
and won't be admitted by the Commits
sioners. In parting we beseech you,
mend your naughty ways, don't at
tempt the drive game, but meet your
neighbors in a good spirit, give them
the benefit of good intentions, and re-
member above all things to be good
boys in the future, and know one thing
certain, "you don't know it ALL"

THE B. L. HODGE AND D. L. TALLY.
We know the people of Rapides will
hail with joy the return of these two
really fine packets in our trade. They
come newly painted and entirely reno
waited from stem so stern, and no trade
can boast of superior packets. Cap
tains Helm and Harberle are perma-
nent in our trade, and hove gone to
thousands of dollars expense, backed
by good judgment and fine officers, to
merit and deserve the lasting favors of
our people. They are our friends, aud
at all times and on all occasions, have
but one aim in view, to give our trade
boats reliable, punctual and trustwor-
thy. They are here to stay, and will
leave New Orleans every Tuesday and
Saturday for the balance of the season.
Stick to old friends.

rY Monsieur Leon Dessins, Tonso-
rial Artist, who has been running a fine
Salon on Second street, opposite the
Town Hall, for more than a year, has
now branched out as the proprietor of
the well known Barber Shop, at the Ex-
change Hotel, formerly Vic's Saloon
AS Monsieur Dessins, with one shop al
ways was attentive to business and en-
deavored to please, so now with two
Salons he will certainly strive to merit
public appreciation. We bespeak for
him. the patronage all such enterprises
should receive.

know how to appreciate such rare
favors.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
w Alexandria, for account of Rap
ides and her good people, has had some
little unpleasantncss, during last week,
in and around the Court House. We be-
lieve two Parish Judges claimed the jul
dicial erminc, and both graced the
bench on one and the same day, one in
the morning, the other late in the eve
ming. No great harm was done, and
now quiet reigns in Warsaw. The Dis
trict Clerkship, or rather its possession,
was also the scrimmage ground of war;
rude alarms and one stratched nose, and
ended in the rightful clerk being the
victor so far. And two Police Juries
have been holding sessions during the
week. Really things have come to an
awful pass, when decent people have
to be forced to strive for their just rights
in such manner. Here we see the
patent and damning spectacle of men
claiming offices for which they were
fairly and by large majorities beaten,
and claiming them with a nonchalance
and impudence that would shame Ca
manchc Indian. Verify once in 8the
ranks of the Radical party and all de-
cency and good respect for your neigh.
boris rights is thrown to the dogs and
never dreamt of again. This whole mat
ter is in a nutshell and plainly known to
all, more especially to the Radicals
their nominated candidates were all de-
feated in Rapides, fairly, squarely and
legally by over seven hundred majority,
and this claiming the offices or holding
them is base aud palpable cheat and
fraud, and none know it better than
they.

The Seminary entertainments.

evening was attended by large number
of our towns-people, all Of whonl-lf the

s Ives heartily. The early part of the
evening was spent socially, but about nine
O'Clock the guests were all assembled i'll
sisting of vocal and instrumental music
and compositions, was rendered by the
Young ladies of the Institution. assisted by
Mr.. Bently, OF Hudson, VINO sang two
solos and took part in one of the chrouses
The compositions were, without eNcep-
ton, interesting, we'll written. and, what
is still better, read; and the music received
deserved applause. In this latter feature
in the course of instruction at the Semln-
airy the pupils always show themselves
proficient, and the fact that they are we'll
drilled both in chOruses and solos is OBJ
yious to even the most careless and casual
observer. We regret that our limited
space forbids such criticism as is due 10
the performance, for commendatory no.
tice is duty none the less pleasant be-
cause of the few occasions i'll which it
may be truthfnhy indulged in. The ami
yersary exercises which are to take place
upon Wednesday and Thursday of next
week-and which we have reason to be-
lieye will this year be of even more than
usual interest-will be fully reported in

Marine.

The schooner City of PainesvIlle, owned
by Samuel Mathews and II. G. ana F.
Williams, has been sold to Simpson & Co.,
of Buffalo. The Panesville was built here
about five years since by the Bailey Bros.
She is to be commanded by d. Ingraham.
During the past week or ten days the
revenue steamer Commodore Perry, Doug
lass Ottinger, Captain, has been at Fair
port engaged in clearing the channel of
the wreck of the schooner Citizen, which
was sunk last fall. The principal efforts
have been directed towards breaking up
the hull, as it was considered too old and
worthless to raise.
In various localities about the lakes
there are lying on the bottom a number of
vessels, many of them of the better class,
laden with railroad iron and other proper
ty of great value, among which may be
included both iron and copper ore. With
some of the new appliances for raising
wrecks from great depths, nearly all of
these vessels with their cargoes can be re-
| covered without much difficulty, should
| no storms intervene. The weather thus
| far this season has been unusually favor
! able for such undertakings, and may pos
| sibly continue during the summer months,
| and from what can be learned OF those en-
gagged in such enterprises the experiment
| will soon be entered upon. One OF these
| lost vessels is the schooner Saltillo, laden
| with railroad iron, which sunk in the river
| St. Clair some twenty years since. Par.
| ties are now engaged in recovering the
| cargo, but as the vessel was well along in
| years her hull has doubtless become
broken by ice and is of little value. The
amount of property thus buried beneath
the waters has been estimated at upwards
| of $4,000, 600, which is probably below the
| actual mgures.-DetFOU Free Press.
