Tt appears that the rumor Of the
seizure Of the Henry Tete for debt,
by Mrs. James Gardiner, was entirely
incorrect. 1t was told us for an I'M
dclliablc fact, else we should not have
given it circulation through the col
umns Of the CHIEF. The Tete merely
laid up in New Orleans, day or two,
for repairs, and this circumstance
founded the rumor of her seizure.

THE MARDIGRAs BALL

THE MARDIGRAs BALL.-The grand
fancy dress and masquerade ball given
at the D. S. G.. B. H. last Tuesday
evening was the most brilliant and
best attended affair that has yet taken
place in the Hall. The presence Of
many persons who were i'll attendance
for the first time was notable, and
was circumstance we regarded with
pleasure. Several beautiful fancy
costumes were prominent in the as
semblage, the wearers Of which were
masked. All present enjoyed them
selves to the utmost, and were 10th to
leave when the hour of closing the
entertainment arrived.
The Right Reverend Bishop Wilmer
arrived in town Saturday, true to APP
pointmcnt, and preached a terse, elo-
quent and beautiful sermon to large
congregation in the Episcopal church
on Sunday. Fourteen candidates for
the rite of confirmation presented
themselves at the altar, and the cere-
mony was conducted in an impressive
manner by the Bishop. We regret
that our limited space will not admit
of q detailed account Of the splendid
sermon preached by the Reverend Mr..
Wilmer, but it may be as well that it
is so, for our clumsy pen could not do
Justice to the beautiful conceptions,
stirring appeals and forcible argu-
ments Of the aged preacher. The
Bishop left here to hold services in
Plaquemine Wednesday.

RAILROAD BRIDGE COMPLETED.-
Thursday last should be remembered
as a notable occasion in the history Of
our town, for upon that day the rail-
road turn bridge which is to afford
the passage Of the trains Of the n. O.,
M. & L. r. r. over Bayou Lafourche
at this point was completed and swung
across the stream. The bridge is a
fine piece of architecture, and behaved
beautifully when swung around, in
dicating the ability Of the workmen
who constructed it and of the engineer
who superintended its erection. SO
soon as cross-ties and iron rails are
placed upon the new bridge, we shall
have the satisfaction Of Witnessing the
frequent crossing OF trains upon it,
and we sincerely hope it will not be
many months before the destination
of these trains shall be Houston,
Texas. Hurrah for the completion OF
the railroad bridge, say we!

BAYOU LAFoURCHE BLoCKADED.-
Our people have this week witnessed
sight that old citizens inform us has
never been afforded since years before
the war-the blockading of Bayou
Lafourche with drift wood. This
phenomenon was caused by q rather
sudden rise in the river, and the pre-
valence of a strong north wind, We'd
nesday night, Which drove q large
portion of the drift that was coming
down the river in immense quantities,
into the bayou. This drift lodged
against the piles in the. middle of the
stream at the railroad bridge, and ac-
cumulated SO rapidly that on Thurs
day the surface of the water was COM
pletely covered with IL compact mass
of wood to the distance sof a hundred
yards or more above the bridge. Num-
bers Of persons walked about on this
impromptu bridge, and several re-
ccived involuntary duckings. The
scene was q strange one and our peoplt5
| hocked to witness it. Wood catchers
were hard at work all along both
edges of the "Iaft," and large
quantity of wood was drawn upon the
bank to be cut for future use. When
the steamer Henry Tete returned from
her trip to Lockport, Friday morn
ing, she found her progress effeetually
barred, but set bravely to work to re-
move the blockade, assisted by a
locomotive on the upper side of the
bayou. All day yesterday the boat
and locomotive worked diligently,
and at 81 2. NJ. the bayou was cleared
and the Tctc effected egress. The
Lizzie Hopkins entered the bayou
Thursday, but was forced to turn
back, as, being above the drift, she
could do nothing towards removing it.
