LES JEUNEs ANS DE BIENFAIsANCE.-At
Globe Hall last evening was assembled one
of the most pleasant collections of festive
ladies and gentlemen that have for long
time assembled in the Second District.
There would have hardly been room on the
floor if nearly every one had not seemed a
professor of the divine art of keeping time
in head and foot to the music of Strauss
waltzes. The young friends of benevolence
gave such specimen OF their ch&rity to-
ward their fellow beings by permitting a
select invited few to participate with them
in the pleasures of the ball, given under
the management of Messrs. o. Pavagrau,
chairman, L. Lesaserer, NJ. Laboterie. K.
Learson, L. Lamunerere and ?. Matieu,
These gentlemen managed the ball so that
the officers of the society. who are Messrs.
Hortaire Chrstophe. president; 2. Bernard,
vice resident; L. L. Learson, secretary;
and E. p Planchad, treasurer-and all the
members. will have reason for year to
congra tulate themselves on the success OF
the entertainment.

BRIEF MENTION.-There was an uncom
mon number OF persons at the Louisiana
National Bank yesterday, between the
hours of twelve and one o'clock, as holders
of city coupons were receiving payment.
The process was slow. as each holder re.
ceived a bank check instead of currency.
There was some growing, and probably
will be for several days.
The value of seizures made by the New
Orleans custOmhOuse authorities, durin g
the month of December, amounted to
$l9962.
w. Lafourche alias Locke was locked up
in the fifth precinct calab0ose, for New
Years present, but he, not liking the par
Tor, walked off without being told to. The
queer part of it was that he left valuable
watch and chain behind him. he was sub
sequently arrested.
Judge AtOcha, whose pleasant face has
not been seen on our streets for several
months, has returned, quite recovered from
his illness. His physical condition is such
that he can now wrestle with the law and
LAWYERS successfully.
He was weary of life and not afraid to
die Early yesterday morning Charles H..
Thompson. baker at the corner OF Mande-
vile and Royal streets, shot himself in the
head with revolver, causing death ON the
moment. He had experienced some family
trouble and was unable to bear up under
the disagreement.
Brigadier General James Glinstead,
whose headquarters are at the corner OF
Camp and POydras streets, RECALLED our
editorial room with jolly pitcher OF New
Year egg uog. which vanished as does dew
before July sun.
James Carter, Englishman, twenty four
wears old clerk on the steamship Oberon
accidentally fell into the river, head Of
Montegut street, and Was drowned. The
body was not recovered.
CANAAN Hembeck, of the steamship Han
mover, was about to step into carriage
last Thu day at the head of Adele street,
when the horses started OFT on run, nearly
crushing him. William Lewis a sailor, in
attempting to stop the team, was badly in,
iured, the animals trampling on him and
the carriage wheels passing over his body.
He was placed on board the 6essel and
properly cared for.
Zach Murray gave John Perry leaden
New Year present by shooting him in the
head at Clay Hall, PerdidO street, last
Thursday. Murray was arrested:
The weather yesterday was balmy: SO
spring like that less than week OF it would
start vegetation into life.
few minutes after the New Year bells
we're tolled, two men, whose names were
not ascertained, were firing small cannon
on TchOupitoulas, near Market street. The
piece bursted, fragments seriously wound
ing both men.
Daniel Webb INDUCED in a scrimmage
last Thursday on Henry Clay avenue, near
Tchoupitoulas street, during which he al
most killed Sandy Settle with knife.
Webb escaped, but was soon afterward
arrested.
family living, or rather half starving,
at No S96 Tchouptoulas street, is reported
as not only destitute, but sick with small
pox. An infant was dead from the disease.
and there was no food or medicine in the
squallid room Poverty, stark and dirty,
ruled. The police attended to the sufferers.
