LARGEST STOCK YET !
AND FINEST GOODS, ALSO
*
$27, 900 Worth Of BOOTS and SHOES!

We announced Il few weeks since
that Mr.. VIM. Kiopman of the firm of
MRS. NJ. ISRAEL & CO.,
Of Donaldsonville, had gone to New
York to purchase stock of goods for
the Fall and Winter trade. Mr.. X.
has been successful in closing excel
lent bargains with mammoth dealers
in New York, and is making almost
daily shipments to Donaldsonville.
The new goods have begun to ar
rive, and when all in, they will COM
prise the largest, finest, and by far
the most costly ana best assorted
stock ever brought to this section.
Candidly, we doubt if there will be a
superior stock any where in the State
outside the city Of New Orleans.
To give an idea of the magnitude
Of Mr.. klopman's purchases, it may
be mentioned that his bills for boots
and shoes alone foot up s27, 900! It
may we'll be concluded that tue ill.,

ton is assessed from $1,000 to SIC, OOe
higher than in 1874, and there is also
q general increase in the valuation Of
smaller properties. But few objec-
tons to the figures fixed by the Board
were offered from interested parties,
aud we believe none of these were
sustained by evidence. The Asses
sors proceeded to take testimony in
one case where $4,000 assessment
was objected to, but it was evident
that the figures would become nearer
800, 900 than $4,000 by that mode
Of procedure, and compliments de-
clined to prosecute the matter any
farther in that style, desiring the
Board to reduce the valuation upon
the simple ground that the property
is worth no more this year than it was
last.

The expected match game Of base
ball between the Active nine of As
sumption parish and the Burnside
Of Donaldsonville was played here
last Sunday afternoon, and resulted
in victory for the visitors. There
was a heavy shower Saturday, and it
was believed that the Assumption
players would not put in an appear
ance next day, but they agreeably
disappointed this expectation and ar
rived in town about 2 o'clock P. NJ.
Owing to the threatening state of the
weather and some delay in getting
the Burnside players on the field,
play was not called until az o'clock,
consequently it was SO near dusk
when the sixth inning was concluded
that it was agreed to stop the game
at that point.
AS will be seen by the score which
is published below, the home club
was badly beaten. The Active nine
is a good one, and plays an excellent
game-much better than we expected
Of it. The members are all excellent
ly placed-each man where he can
do most good and they possess the
happy knack Of "playing together"
which is great point in the game.
There were but five members of the
Burnside " first nine " on hand, and
the substitutes for the four absent
players were even more out of prac-
tice than the others. This unfortu-
nate combination of circumstances
will account for the one-sidedness Of
the score. We do not assume that
the regular Burnside nine would have
won the game, but we know that they
would have made much better show
ing and given their opponents lively
tussle for the victory.
Following is the score Of Sundays
game by innings. We can not give
the individual score of the players,
owing to an error of the scorer for the
home club in keeping the record:

Wednesday evening Coroner Can
treble was summoned to hold inq est
upon the body Of white man found
floating in the river opposite Mr..
Francis Falcons place, in Smoke
Bend. The body was that Of mid
die aged man, evidently an Irishman,
attired in jean pantaloons and blush
check shirt, and had been in the
water long hme-probably three or
four weeks. The flesh was entirely
eaten from the feet by fishes.
Since. the 18th of August the Tax
Collector of this parish has made
twenty-five seizures of property to
enforce payment Of back taxes, but
not one sale has been necessary, as in
every case the delinquents provided
for a settlement of the taxes. Another
batch of seizures will be made next
week, and there will be no partiality
shown, but every piece Of property
upon which back State or parish taxes
are due will be levied upon for the
amount, according to the require
ments of Act AZ of 1873.
Leonce Strong, colored man who
has long been considered one of the
best carpenters in this parish, died
suddenly this morning from the eff
fects of too free indulgence in intoxi-
eating liquors. He had been drink
ing heavily for week past, but ap-
peared in his usual health this morn
ing when his wife left the house for a
few minutes to fetch a bucket Of wa
ter from the bayou. Returning, she
found him lying upon the bed in the
throes Of death. A physician was at
once sent for, but when he arrived
Strong was dead.
The Board of Assessors completed
the assessment of property Tuesday,
and the roll will be turned over to
the Tax Collector to-day OF Monday,
as it is the duty of that officer to pre-
pare copies for the Auditors and the
Collectors offices. The total assess
ment has not yet been ascertained.
but it viii exceed that Of last year at
least 100000. Nearly every planta-

DEATH OF ADOLPIIE MAUR1N.-At
half-past one o'clock Monday after
noon Mr.. Adolphe Maurin died ut bis
residence in this town, of softening OF
the brain. Deceased was So years of
age, a native Of Donaldsonville, and
lived here all his life. He was for
merly one of the leading local mer-
chants, having kept a store where tho
Railroad coffee-house building now
stands, but he retired from business
over twenty years ago, and has since
walked the quiet paths of private life.
He was unmarried, Of retiring habits,
mixing but little in the society of his
acquaintance or friends; a man who
had studied hard and read much, and
possessed remarkable faculty for re-
tanning the knowledge with which his
mind was stored during the half cen
tury of his existence. Mr.. Maurin
lived in comfortable circumstances,
having acquired considerable prop
erty. Before the war he was reputed
to be worth about $4,000. For the
past two years his health had been
failing, and in March last when the
news few about town that Mr.. Victor
Maurin had been stricken down with
heart disease, many supposed that it
was Adolphe who had died and when
they found that this superstition was
wrong, marvelel that death should
have taken the younger and more ro-
bust of the brothers first.
The funeral took place Tuesday
morning at 1O} O'clock, and the body
was inferred in the Catholic cemetery.
Deceased was an honorary member of
Ascension Hook and Ladder Compa-
ny, which organization attended the
funeral in uniform, six of the men,
bers acting as pail bearers.
