By reference to the legal advertise
ments in this issue of the CHIEF it
will be seen that certain property be-
longing to the SUGGESTIONS of Milien
Babin and Theodule Leblanc is to be
offered for sale respectively on the
10th and Oath days of next month.
Both these pieces of property were
seized and sold for taxes two months
since, one by the Second Ward Con-
stable, the other by the Tax Collector,
and titles were issued to the purcha-
strs in accordance with the provisions
of Act No. az of 1873, which give the
former owners the privilege of redeem
ing the property at any time within
six months after the sale by paying
one hundred and fifty per cent. upon
his investment to the purchaser at
the tax sale, together with all costs of
suit. The Leblanc property was pur-
chased by Mr.. Francis Curse, who in
tended to hold it in trust for the mi
nor heirs, but Mr.. Henry Jones bought
the property of the Babin succession
for his own benefit, hence we shall
soon see the validity of a tax sale
tested, as Mr.. Jones will certainly not
stand idly by and witness the DISPOSE
ton of his possessions by parties who
can have no further claim thereupon
unless by redeeming the same as the
law directs.

tice of the Peace for the Second Ward,

the Fifth Ward. He is well qualified
for the position and will establish a
good school.
Dir. T. Leslie viii reopen the First
Ward School on Wednesday next.
There are three schools in the Sew
enth Ward taught by Mrs. F. A. Bur-
nett, John Dixon and Emanuel st.
Helen. Mr.. Dixon's school is one of
the best in the parish.
The Linwood school, Sixth Ward,
is in most satisfactory condition,
and Jas. Profitt, Esq. is an excellent
instructor of young ideas.
The Donaldsonville schools main
tain their usual standard ofexcellence
under the direction of Mrs. A. T.
Bushee, Mr.. w. w. Buford and as
sistant Jas. Ray.
We have no report from the schools
of the Second, Third and Fourth
Wards, but believe they are progress
ing finely.
There are altogether twelve public
schools now in operation in our parish.
There is hardly an English speaking
person in this community, we opine,
who is not familiar with the touching
little rhyme from Mother Goose's nu-
merous selection of melodies which
has been handed down to us as fol-
lows:
Somebody stole my old black hen, wish
they'd lot her be,
She used to lay two eggs day, and Sunday
she laid three.
Well, deputy Sheriff H. O. Maher is
the fortunate possessor of a pullet
that is, without doubt, a linea1 de-
seendant of the wonderful hen i'm
mortalized by the poet in the beauti-
full stanza just quoted. This pullet is
black, like her famed ancestor, and
has been laying two eggs day ever
since she entered the business, which
was on Monday last. Of course we
can not say at this time whether she
will equal the performance of Mother
Goose's bird by increasing her daily
deposit on the Sabbath to three eggs,
but our readers may depend upon it
that if she does they will hear of it in
our next paper.
