DEATH OF Jos. GARcIA.-At an
early hour Hast Monday morning, Jo-
seph Garcia, whose strange reappear-
ance in the vicinity of Donaldsonville,
after an absence Of two years, was
chronicled in the CHIEF Of February
10Th, departed this life, at the house
Of a relative, upon the Maginn;s plan
tation, on Bayou Lafourche, just be-
low town. Deceased had been suf-
fering from consumption, and it was
evident, when his presence SO near the
scene of the murder which caused his
flight first became kno WI, that the
sands Of his life had nearly run out.
He was attended every day by Father
Cuppens of the Catholic church at
this place, and it was believed fully
repented Of his sins and derived much
spiritual consolation from the minis
trations of the Reverend Father. Gar
cha died in a delirium, and we are in
formed that with almost his last
breath he called for knife with
which to defend himself from the at
tacks of an imaginary foe. His re-
mains were taken to the Catholic
burial ground, Monday evening, and
deposited in their final resting place.
The man who 50 relentlessly deprived
a fellow being Of life has escaped the
vengeance of the law, but his spirit
has flown before the dread judgment
seat Of God, there to receive more
equal and exact justice than could
have been administered by human
agencies. Passed beyond the bounds
of mortal reach, the execration which
was heaped upon him while living
should pause at the portals of his
grave. ~

Mr.. Hughes, and is now az smooth
and safe as it was when first laid.
There were some very rough places
on the road ana the repairs we're sadly
needed.
Arrival accident occurred ont hnrs-
day Of last week, near the -woodshed
on the Stella plantation. The hind

freight train jumped the traek, and in
order to clear the way for the oosning
passenger train tho car wss detached
and overturned Into the ditch sa1ose

almost worthless calaboose or board
ing-car, used for the accommodation
Of hands working on the road, and
was never run upon the track except
when absolutely necessary, as it's
trucks were old fashioned and defec-
tive and liable to bounce of tire rails
almost any moment. Our town readers
will remember this car as one Of the
ancient, unused structures that have
been standing on the side-track just
below the depot at this place for many
months past. ,. .-#" ~

The Silver Cornet Band received
an invitation from Capt. McElroy OF
the steamer B. L. Hodge to make a
trip to New Orleans on his excellent
boat, to view the firemen's parade on
the 4th, and after consultation, ma
jority of the members concluded to
accept. A few were prevented from
participating in the excursion by rea-
son Of their business duties, but the
others were ready at the wharf when
the Hodge arrived from Plaquemine,
Wednesday, and as the boat pushed
off after landing, the strains of an en-
livening air were borne upon the
breeze, which found an echo" bon
voyage lin the hearts Of the nu-
merous friends Of Donaldsonville's
best band. We can well imagine the
nice time the excursiOnists have had
on the Hodge and in the city. They
did not go down with the intention Of
participating in the parade-as they
have done for two years past-but as
mere lookers-on. By the time this
paper is issued they will probably
have returned home, and we may be
sure their friends will hear enthusiasts
tic accounts Of the pleasant incidents
that have occurred during their visit
to New Orleans.

The force of carpenters under the
direction of Mr.. Henry Cook conclud-
ed their work upon the new truck
house of Ascension Hook aud Ladder
Company on Wednesday last, and the
building was turned over to Mr.. r. j.
Green, painter, for the finishing touch
es which are needed to prepare it for
occupation. The dimensions of the
new structure are, so feet length by
Is breadth, which affords ample room
for the truck, besides space for the
necessary paraphernalia of a meeting
hall. The flooring is of the best quail
ity, very smoothly laid, and whenever
the members Of the company desire
to commemorate an anniversary or
other special occasion by a dance, they
have q splendid ball room ut COM
mand, by2 running their truck out
doors. The builders work has been
performed in the most admirable man
ner, and great credit is due Mr.. Cook
for his supervision thereof and the in
terest he has taken in the selection of
proper material. The Hook and Lad
der Company will have reason to be
proud Of their truck house, and the
wish of Che CHIEF is that they may
continue to be so for many years.
Tomorrow, if the weather is fair,
the members will assemble at Mr.. B.
Rybiski's residence, and remove their
truck from there into its new quar-
tiers. .....

II our great steamship company IS to be in
fact as we'll as in name the Nail Company Of
the Pacific. Il will lose no opportunity to Sc
cure for itself and us all possible and profitable
connections with the trade Of the ocean. A
splendid opportunity occurs at this moment &c
connect us with Hawaii, FIJI. New Zealand. and
Australia. II the Mail Company chooses it can
obtain that service by right Of its position
The Union Pacific Railroad Company. and the
Pacific Mail Company being now virtually one
and the same organization. il has only 70 insist
upon having the business in order to secure IT,
This connection with two and a-half millions
Of English speaking people bodies more present
and future advantage than even the China line.
There is practically no limit to the passenger
traffic. The route is remarkable for its uni
formity Of fine weather. The depot at the
other end supplies the cheapest coal in the
world. The Pacific Mail Company Cor the first
time in its history possesses vessels that could
not be better suited to the large passenger traf-
fc Of this warm weather route il they had been
specially built for IT, At this moment they
have such vessels actually idle. For weeks
past the FaRooWrsr has been lying cut in the
stream unemployed. The Colonies would
doubtless at once give subsidy sufficient to
start the service. The taking hold Of this busi-
ness would certainly bring to the company such
an accession Of favorable public opinion as
would surely gain for it a subsidy from Com
gress. If the China line were made 60 connect
at Honolulu. as was originally intended. two
steamers would suffice to perform the Austria
lian service. That connection has many prac-
tical advantages that the most experienced Off
GERS of the company have always insisted up
on. Ii makes a fine weather route 60 China,
gives midway coaling station, increases traf-
fic, and secures somewhat cheaper coal. When
to these is added the immense benefit Of max
ing connections from thence with the isles Of
the Pacific, with New Zealand and Australia, |
it is evident that duty is forced upon the
Mail Company that is well-nigh irresistible. /
The move would be a popular one, not only in |
California, but throughout the country.-S. +. .
