Ease BaU.-Tho7young men Of Ycrmil-
~ionville and vicinity think OF organizing
a base ball club. 1t is fine sport aud
good exercise. We would, suggest that
they call a meeting, elect their officers
and 60 into it IN good style.
DeIcgatcs.-At the-mocting, lat Satnr-
day, Acknowledgements were chosen to rep
sent the people of thislparish in New Or
| leans next Monday. Out Of that number,
we learn that Mr.. NJ. E. Girard md L. T.

Christmas : Rather early to begin
talking about Chri stmas, but we are in
for having q gay time, and only wish
to remind ON. readers that they s ould
put mp their turkeys (cc are fond of tur-
key and commence fattening them.
Cock Fighting.-This is a ~fayorite amuso-
ment in our town, and never fails to
draw a good audience. Last Sunday
evening. there were two fights, and not n
very good day for lighting, either. Next
sunday, week, there will be u fight be
tween two gcntlcmanly chicks for S..
u Young Mu8taches.- Quite a number ofN
| youngsmustaches, in this place, are bris-
thing up with the ]intontion of going
through the winter. The probabilities
are that most of them will freeze out, and
that spring will find many lips uradorned
which now make q feble effort at supa3
porting o mustache.
rShort UintT.-Somo Of the planters
with whom we have spoken say, that in
their 0 p%inion, We will have a short win
ter. We sincerely hope that their
prediction is correct. With poor crops,
Il scarcity of money and many other
draw backs, all of which are calculated
to make hard. times, it is impossible to
conceive tho amount Of suffering a long
winter might cause.
There is i?-That minstrel troupe, we
refer to. What has become oft Whar
am ole "Boncs 7" an Sambo, an Tambo,
sion who were to have figured so con-
spicuously in that entertainment 1t is
now some time since we heard Garry dc
news to Mary" as sung by a portion of
the troupe, while ~promenading our streets
at light Kann the ball rolling, bore.
HiRtdr,-It will soon be upon us, and
no doubt there are many unprepared to
meet it. Persons should get their supply
of wood before the roads bee me impassa-
Bile, as 10 generally the case in winter.
Get a big pile of wood, stop up the air
holes about the house, get a barrel of pc
cans and invite your friends in to help
eat them. That's the way to become
popular.
Sidewalks. Our town council should
scoop out the center of our sidewalks o
little more, before the rainy season COM
mences, as, in their present condition,
water will not remain on them more than
shoe-mouth deep. They might be made
q little narrower, too, as it is not abso-
lutely necessary that two persons should
walk abreast on the sidewalk. We hope
the council will attend to this matter, at
once. +
Gone Baek.-Afr. J. b. Winters, who To-
Gated in this place last spring, and opened
a grocery store on Lafayette street, we
are sorry to learn met with poor success,
and last Monday boxed up his goods aud
returned to New Iberia, at when place,
we presume, he will go into the grocery
business with his brother-in-law. We
dislike to zee sueh men as MIR. Winters
leaving our town, but hope when business
~revives he viii return and permanently
locate here. )

and. Since the above was in type, Mr.. .
