AUsTERLIYZ~Boys AND GIREs.
This school is now located on Tchoupitou
las street, three squares above Louisiana
avenue, and is in fourishing condition, as
teachers and children comprehend the du-
ties before them. Parents make frequent
visits, which encourage the children. Each
room is conducted in an uncommonly cred
liable manner, and there has been consider
able improvement.
Teachers-Mrs. NJ. +. Baptiste, principal
Mrs. NJ. C. Dore, first assistant; Miss +. I.
Dart, second assistant; Miss A. Wall, sec
ond assistant; Miss NJ. Chateau, third as
sistant
MAGAZINE-BOYs AND GIRLS.
Under different circumstances this school
would soon assume better position than it
occupies today. The building is located
opposite the Magazine street horse car sta
ton, consequently there is too much noise
and too many people in the vicinity. This
annoy ance tends to distract attention from
studies. The attendance is quite regular,
| and it can be said that many of the pupils
deserve great praise for their efficiency.
The teachers are-Miss NJ. Mclaughlin,
| principal; Mrs. N. S. Torrey. Miss M. l..
| Stay, assistants.
MARENGO-BOYS.
This is large school, containing 300
pupils and seems to be in fair working
condition and the lads are not backward in
their books. Examination day is a great
event With them, they showing signs that

case, be duly weighed and digested by the
board when the Carroll case comes up for
its final decision.
The board took recess until six O'Clock
in the evening.
The evening session Of the board was &C.
cupied in canvassing the returns from the
parishes OF Tangipahoa, Terrebonne and
Tensas. In Tangipahoa the Democratic
ticket has majority of over 4oo votes.
For State Treasurer, Moncure received s59;
Dubuclet. 456. No protests were entered
against the returns from this parish
The canvass OF the returns from Terre-
bonnie did not prove as easy task as that
OF Tangipahoa, only partial returns being
received from polls three, eight, ten and
eleven of Terrebonne; and the fact that
these were transmitted in an irregular man.
ner, and outside Of the channel indicated
by law, gave rise to some discussion as to
whether they should be canyassed. The
president ruled that as partial returns from
these polls were in possession OF the board,
it would be proper to canvass them and
leave the question of their complement for
the future consideration and judgment of
the board. As the returns now stand, Du-
buclet has received for State Treasurer
l6o. votes. and Moncure 1859.
The returns from the parish of Tensas
were next taken up and canvassed. Here
the Republicans have heavy majority
For State Treasurer Dubuclet received
1855 votes and Moncure DAB.

The GRANaERs-We learn from the
energetic Deputy for this Parish and
Vernon, Mr.. Joseph H. Hynson, that
he has within the last few weeks or
gan'zed two more Oranges on the
North side of Red River. aThis is
right and we are only sorry that the
number is two, instead of twenty q
week. This side of the river seems
to be slow about getting up their
lists. We have heard of several,
however, in the process of prelimina-
ry organization over here and have
no doubt but that they will spriiig up
briskly this Fall, when money gets q
little more plentiful than it now is
among our planters. We would like
to see every planter in the Parish be.
long to the order and then they
could control the labor question as
it ought to be controlled by them.

AFRAID he would make a noise, but
his father saide"Johnny knows pet

so he went. He kept very still till

was crying. He leaned over and

Freedman's Savings Bank have at
last determined to close up the
business Of the concern, and will
place it's effects in the hands Of a

be their special friends. The
branch in this city was closed be.
cause it could not pay a demand of

mentary on the general manage
ment of the concern.-(E Exchange.
