NEW RIVER CROPS.

Cotton in Fair Condition, and No Worms
in Sight---Oorn Generally Poor; Half
an Average Yield Expected.
Prom a friend residing in the New
River district Of the parish we have
obtained some particulars in regard
to the condition of the crops in that
locality, which, though comparatively
meagre and incomplete, will prove of
some interest to the readers of the
CHIEF.
The cotton crop will not, of course,
be large one, but the general con-
dition Of the plant is quite fair for the
season. On what is called Upper New
River-that is, the portion Of the dis
trict above Mr.. V. P. Landry's place
the prospect is best, and if no worms
make their appearance good crop
will be gathered. The weather has
been favorable Of late, and the fields
have been well cultivated in all pla-
ces, consequently the plant has recov-
cred in considerable degree from.
the injury caused by the recent pro-
tracted wet spell, and is at present
growing luxuriantly. In the event Of
bad weather setting in, or the de-
structive caterpillar appearing, many
people in the New River country will
have a hard row to hoe for tho ensu-
ing year, or, in the homely phrase Of
one Of the "tigers" who visited our
office the other day, Gan awful time
gittin' their grub"
The corn crop of Upper New River
will yield about half the usual guam
tity, while in the lower district only
a quarter yield will be realized. Oh
course, there are a few places where
the corn promises we'll, but these are
few and far between.
But little cane was planted in New
River District this season, and Of the
condition of this we have no inforlma-
ton. We will visit the locality to-
morrow, and shall probably obtain
further particulars in regard to the
crops, and publish the same in next
issue.

Parish Judge CAeevers, sitting as a

The public schools of the neighbor-
ing parish of st. James are in full and
satisfactory operation, with a good
corps of teachers and an excellent at
tendance of scholars. We hope the
School Board Of our own parish will
be prepared by the first of September
to begin and prosecute the educational
work with a vigor and efficiency that
will cause our schools to compare
favorably with those of any country
parish of the State.

ne may meet with as good success in
the ether localities he NAV visit.

In q quarrel near Springfield, Liv-
lnsston parish, last Saturday, a man
named kinchen shot and killed Robt,
Kemp. The weapon used was a pis-
tol, the ball taking effect in the breast
Of deceased. A Coroner's jury viewed
the body and returned q verdict in
accordance with the facts of the case.
We understand that Kinchen surren-
dered himself to the authorities, and
claims that he did the shooting in
self defense.

DISSEMINATING AT THE NJ. E.
CHURCH,

OAOAOAs
An interesting event took place at
the NJ. E. Church, Sunday before last,
which we unintentionally omitted to
mention in the CHEF of the 10Th.
This was what is called "basket
meeting" reunion Of the congrega-
tions of several NJ. E. Churches, the
members each bringing with them to
the place of meeting baskets Of cdi-
bles, which are discussed by the peo-
pie assembled during an intermission
of the religious exercises, these latter
being conducted by the ministers of
the various congregations in unison.
Preparation for the meeting was
made at the Church by erecting a
canvass covered shed along the lower
side Of the building, under which ia
bles were placed in readiness for the
anticipated banquet.
About three hundred persons were
in attendance at the meeting referred
to, being delegations from the focks
of the Revs. Thos. Kennedy, Powha-
tan Epps, Patrick Bowman, Nixon,
Dennis Drum and John Francois. The
inclemency of the weather deferred
many who live ut a distance from at
tending, but this was no drawback to
the affair, which passed off very nice
" indeed. y.
The services opened at 10 o'clock
A. NJ. and continued until the same
hour at night; recess being given at
| o'clock in the afternoon for dinner,
which was eaten with great gusto.
Rev. Patrick Bowman prracheS the
first sermon, and took up a collection
of sll 90, from his congregation, Nor
the church building and improvement
fund. Rev. Powhatan Epps followed,
and his collection reached $l2 %. In
the afternoon and evening Revs. Nix
on and Kennedy preached, the former
collecting 81 IS, the latter 81 As. All
the sermons were excellent, and were
listened to with much interest and at
tention. 49,
Another basket-meeting will take
place at the same Church, on the
fourth Sunday of the present month,
and it will undoubtedly be great
success, perhaps the most extensive
RELIGIOUS reunion ever held in Ascen-
sion.

raised the point that the resolution
was not properly IN ordinance of the

since the PRONUNCIATION thereof. This
plea was sustained by the Mayor, and
the case dismissed.

SURPRISE PARTY.-One of the most
pleasant little affairs in which it has
ever been our lot to participate was a
veritable surprise party at the resi-
dence of Mrs. Andrew Gingry, corner
of Railroad Avenue and Claiborne
street, Wednesday night. The per-
sons for whom the surprise was in
tended-being some young ladies from
Baton Rouge who are here on a visit
to relatives-were kept in profound
ignorance of the intended event, the
first intimation of its occurrence they
received being the sudden appearance
at the house Of quite a numerous par
ty of young ladies and gentlemen, a
majority Of the latter members of the
Ascension Brass Band. The parlors
and spacious hall were cleared of fur
niture, and in half hour the music
Of the Ascension String Band was re-
sounding and the dancing had begun.
What with music, dancing, singing,
chatting, eating cake, drinking lem
onade and milk punch, ETC., the time
passed SO rapidly and pleasantly by
that no one took note Of the feeting
hours or became weary, and it was
almost daybreak when the festivities
came to close and the guests de-
parted for their homes. Of all pres
ent, none seemed to enjoy the affair
with greater zest than the young Ia
dies in whose honor the entertainment
was projected. Mrs. Gingry and her
son, Andrew j. Gingry, Esq, exerted
themselves most successfully to make
the guests comfortable, and to their
efforts were due in great degree the
perfect harmony Of the occasion. The
pleasant little surprise party was a
complete success, and we shall not be
astonished to hear Of another of the
same sort occurring at somebody else's
house ere many weeks have come and
gone.

The new Episcopal Church is rap
idly approaching completion, and it
promises to be a very pretty edifice.
Some persons think the roof too high
and steep, but 1t is our opinion that
when the building is finished this pc
culiarity will enhance it's beauty. At
all events, the style is unique, and
renders the church conspicuous among
surrounding buildings. A spire would
improve its appearance greatly, but
we believe it is not contemplated to
erect one. There is not 4 single spire
proper in Donaldsonville, and it is to
be regretted that such is the case, for
they would improve the looks OF the
town wonderfully, especially when
viewed from a distance. We do not
suppose there is another town in the
State as large as Donaldsonville that
is devoid Of church steeples.

ON the roll during the month Of Au-
gust, and persons desiring to ascertain
the valuation placed upon their pos
sessions must call upon the Board, at

Ho!THE NATIONAL GAME Since
issuing the last number Of our paper
we have learned that the match game
Of base ball announced to take place
between the Henry Minor Club and
the New River Rangers last Sunday,
was fixed for tomorrow instead, and
will be played at Mr.. '. ?. Landry's
place, on the grounds of the latter
club. Being called to New River on
business tomorrow, we shall take oc-
casion to be present at this game and
write it up for next weeks CHIEF.
There are good players in both clubs,
and closely contested game is antic-
ipated by the friends of the two Or
CARNATIONS, who will be present IN
large force to witness the game. The
Burnside Club will doubtless be re-
organized soon, and give the victor
ious club in to- morrow's contest tus-
sic fol the championship of Ascension.
It is probable a game can be arranged
to take place in Donaldsonyllle on
Sunday, the 9th inst.
