EXCURSION TO GRAND 1sLE.-Last Satur.
day evening the tidy steamboat Bossier left
the landing head Of Customhouse street,
starting on an initial trip to Grand Isle. I'm
der the direct supervision of her master,
Captain Gus Richards, she steamed down
the river, having few excursionists, picked
for their capacity TO enjoy good thing.
Clear to Southwest Pass there was nothing
to disturb even the nerves of the most
timid. Arriving at that point long before
daylight the officers did not feel inclined to
venture out into the Gulf until the day Is
complexion should be apparent. At SIM
rise a clear sky showed and off went the
Bossier into deep water. sliding over the
green sea like swan, arriving at Fort Llv-
ingston in about four hours, to the great
delight of the inhabitants. The customs
officers declared the vessels papers all cor
rect and then we started for Grand Isle.
Little time was lost in making that voyage,
and the excursonists soon found the way
10 the finest beach in this part of the world,
rolling in huge waves washing Oft city dust.
II was extremely delightful, as the water is
as fine as can be.
Although the hotel had only opened that
day, the Messrs, Margot were equal to the
emergency, furnishing the guests with ex-
cellent food and accommodations. All is
prepared for the reception OF summer
guests.
The first day OF this year June Will long
remain green in the memory of every one
of the excursionists. Early Monday morn.
inc while we were all lazily tioundering
around tie pleasant warves, Captain
Richards made himself disagreable by
blowing the boats whistle, as if all the
dogs in the country were lost. There was
a scramble for clothing, the small men
gathering up large sized pantaloOns, and
the large men securing small clothes. After
counting noses it was declared that every
excursiOnist was on deck Up the bay,
past the old fort and close to the charming
looking Chenieres, we soon entered
Bayou Barataria, rushing on toward home.
just before reaching Harvey's canal the
excursionists resolved themselves into a
committee of one, to express heartfelt graf
itude to the gentlemen who had taken SO
much pains to give us an interesting trip.
CAPTAIN Richards, his courteous clerk, Cap
tain Samuel Scott, Pilot George and the
Messrs. Margot were all voted as No. l
caterers-which is the truth, for fact.
joyfully received.
Long before dark every one was on this
side Of the river, glad to testify that no
boat ever before made SO quick and splen-
did trip from New Orleans to Grand Isle
and return. Pleasure seekers will make a
note that the Bossier is as well furnished as
any of the coast packets, and can make the
trip in seven hours. She leaves every Tues
day and Saturday morning, at nine o'clock,
and the hotel is equal to any at the water
ing places, while the surf bathing is supe-
rlor.

choly case has just come to light where
young man highly esteemed by a large
circle of friends, of mOst excellent habits,
honest and industrious, has come to an I'M
timely end. as is believed by those most
familiar with the circumstances, through
mistake of prescription clerk. Inc CIR
cumstances as obtained by our reporter ap-
pear to be as follows: -,
The deceased, whose name is Albert
Maury, seventeen years of age, has been
for several months at work learning the
backsmith's trade at No. IS Orleans street,
boarding meanwhile next door, No. Is Or
leans street A few days ago, feeling un,
well. he went to his clearinghouse and
placed himself under the care of physl-
clan Monday he expressed himself as feel
ing much better, we'll enough, as he said,
to 20 out, and did so, returning shortly
after with two packages OF some klno OF
powder which he said he had obtained
from neighborlng drug store. lhe CIR,
cumstance excited no suspicion, he retired
to his room again, and yesterday, about
noon, he was seized with a spasm and died
in a very few minutes. The paper in when
the powders were enclosed were examined
and found to be empty, but nothing upon
them to indicate from whence they came
A subsequent examination OF the papers
shows them to have contained poison.
