Last Monday morning some excite
ment was caused on front street by
an alarm of fire. The chimney of
Dir. c. Roses house had caught fire,
and the flames communicated to the
building, but some members of the
Hook and Ladder Co. promptly rolled
their truck to the scene Of action, and
throwing up ladder soon had the
Ere out. 49,.
Tuesday morning a like circum-
ssance occurred at the residence of
Mr.. Simon Levy, with similar results.

The steamer Lizzie Hopkins made

The steamer Lizzie Hopkins made
the first trip Of the season down Ba-
you Lafourche this week, and found
no difficulty in making her way to
Thibodanx and bacx. The Henry
Tete entered the Bayou Wednesday
morning, but had proceeded but a
short distance when some accident to
her machinery occurred, whereupon
she put back and left at once for.
New Orleans. The railroad bridge
has been put in turning order, and.
the boats can readily pass at the
present stage Of water.

The report Of the Grand Jury is
published elsewhere. It is neither
above nor below the average of such
documents, and contains little that
calls for special comment. The rec
mendation in, regard to the repair of
Of the Court House and Jail is timely.
A deserved compliment is paid to the
Recorder for the admirable manner in
which the records of his Office are ar
ranged, while a not less deserved re-
proof is administered-alb in very
mild language-to the Clerk of Court
for the confusion which reigps among
his papers. We are glad to learn that
the accounts of the Parish end School
Treasurers are ship-shape, and have
no fear that the District Attorney will
allow the public interest to suffer
through the dereliction which is laid
at bis door by the Grand Jury.

The Bayou bank at the west end of
the railroad bridge has caved SO ex-
tensively that it has become neces-
sary to erect a new bulkhead to sup
port the elevated track at that spot.
This work has been commenced and
will be rapidly prosecuted. A pile
driver is in operation daily.

Several attempts at burglary have
been made in town during the past

the gang which evidently infest Don

ken up.

DISTRICT CoURT.-Aftera busy SEES
sion, this court has adjourned until
next regular term, and the Judge,
attorneys and large crowd Of specta-
tors, jurors and witnesses have be-
taken themelsves from the temple Of
justice to their respective homes. A
number of cases both civil and GRIM
iDal, will go over to another term, as
it was 'impracticable to continue the
present session longer, owing to the
fact that appeals to the Supreme Court
from this parish are made returnable
on Monday next, and nearly all the
members Of the bar will have to visit
New Orleans at that time to attend to
such appealed causes as they are con-
cerned in professionally.
We again find it impracticable to
present. a list of all tile cases that have
been passed upon by the District
Court during the session just closed,
as the Clerk is constantly using his
record book in the preparation of
transcripts of appealed suits. We
shall be certain to give the list in
next issue.
An important civil suit was tried
Thursday aud decided this morning.
Mr.. Chas. F. Smith, formerly Tax
Collector of this parish, brought ac-
ton against Messrs. V. Maurin ct ais.
to recover ten per cent. Collectors
commission upon certain parish taxes
on property Of defendants, aggregat-
Jog about $4,000, which plaintiff was
prevented from collecting by reason
of an injunction sued ont by defend
ants. The case was well conducted
on the part OF the claimant by Felix
Pocbe, Esq, and for the defendants
by Messrs. R. N. g. VIM. Sims. The
decision of the court was adverse to |
the claim Of Mr.. Smith, and his coun-
sci has appealed to the. Supreme
Court. The list Of defendants in this
suit includes nearly. all the principal
property holders in Donaldsonyille.
The District Attorney has met with |
average success in procuring coDvic-
tons, and several lnalefactors will !
shortly go up the river on pleasure
trip, stopping at Baton Rouge to re-
cover from the fatigue of travelling.

/ RESALE OF THE MARKET LEASE
The purchaser Of the farm of the
Market House and market dues for
1875 at the sale of the End inst, bav-
ing failed to furnish bond with
satisfactory securities for the faithful
performance of his duties under the
town ordinances, the Treasurer ad-
vertises that he will again offer the
market lease for sale to the highest
bidder, the auction to take place at
the Court House, on Thursday, Janu-
airy 28th. In consequence of the delay
caused by the failure Of the first pur-
chaser to furnish the required bond,
the lease will date from February lst
instead Of January 10th as usual.
Judging by the lively competition at
the recent sale, it is certain the lease
will not go for a song-even if the
price is payable in greepbacks-as
several parties are anxious to get
Their Dames in the CHIEFS official
directory as Market Lessee.
The young men readers of the
CHIEF with White League tendencies
are notified that the proper course of
conduct to pulsue now in emulation
Of the members of the order is to
wear a sugar-loaf hat, oruamented
with a gaudy feather, look as much
like an Italian brigand as possible
and let all your acquaintances know
as frequently as you meet them that
you are not afraid. A quid Of tobacco
in the left cheek and a juvenile
howitzer slung under the
la,board coat-tail are necessary con-
of a full dress uniform.
Those too tender in age and expert
ence to venture upon the use Of the
weed, but still of sufficient maturity
of years to anathematize Radicals ia
general and Phil. Sheridan 10 partic-
u1ar, will find licorice an excellent
substitute, containing quite as much
and not eDtailiDg the dis
agreeable consequences which tobac-
co visits upon the uninitiated. Il

SHOOTING A WoMAN.-Last We'd
nesday evening, colored man named
Fred. Timblick quarreled with his
wife Rose, at their domicil on La
fourche street, near the corner of
Iberville, because she had no supper
for his lordship, being without money
with which to procure the where
withal for an evening meal. Valiant
Fred would listen to. no excuse for
the lack of victuals, but promptly
proceeded to chastise the companion
Of his joys and sorrows. The bloom
ing Rose resisted womanfully for
while, but finding herself the weaker
man Of the two, sought safety in
flight. Just as she had reached the
door, her cowardly g worser F" half
drew revolver and fred two shots.
The first ball few. wide of the mark,
but the second hit the woman in the
side, inflicting serious, but not
necessarily mortal wound. Constable
Lefort arrested the sbootist, who
made some resistance at first, but
was quieted down by a smart tap on
the head from the Constable's baton,
and allowed himself to be led off to
prison, where he still langnishes. DR..
extracted the ball from
the woman's side and pronounces her
10 no immediate danger if properly
cared for.
A rutnor prevailed this morning
that another woman had been shot
somewhere in town, by her husband,
but the report proved incorrect.

ACADEMY EXHIBITION.

The spring term OF Brattleboro academy
closed this week with examinations held
on Monday and Tuesday, and exhibitions
given by the students on tue evenings of
Tuesday and Wednesday. The Institution
has already had mark ID success Ia calling
together fine class OF youth and starting
them upon course of liberal education.
The examinations gave evidence of faith
full work and good progress on the part
both Of classical and English Students One
young man completed his course and in
tends IN offer himself as a candidate for ad-
mission To Dartmouth college this fall. The
inco ming senior class promises to be quite
numerous. If the Principal was allowed
TO measure his classical students by quail
ity, he might enter the lists with many
who can boast much larger catalogue.
The chief attraction on Tuesday evening
was the prize speaking. Eight young men
contcnded for prizes Of five. three and two
dollars. Rev. Mr.. Mighill, DIR. Bruce aud
Mr.. F. Chlds we're invited TO act as judges.
Mr.. Mighill expressed the opinion of the
audience when in announcing the prizes
be spoke of the high attainm, mt of all who
took part aud of the difficulty Of making
distinction. The first prize was awarded
to Russell A. Bgelow of West Brattlebo-
70, the second 10 A. l. Miller OF Dummer-
ston, the third TO Clifford Smith. In addi-
dition to the prize speaking there were tab
lesuH aud play, in all which the students
carried their parts creditably. The exer-
cises of the second evening opened with an
original salutatory address by Russ Ill A.
Bigelow. Following this were tableaux,
recitations by the young ladies and
declarations by the young men.
| The play Of "Uncle Robert" was well act
ed, especially in IFS leading parts, and the
humor Of the scenes was apparently we'll
appreciated by the audience. The original
yaledictory address was delivered by Cliff
ford III. Smith, who has the distinction OF
being the first graduate from the institu-
| lion since its rcUpeuiug. 1t was a matter
of surprise 10 those who attended the exer-
cises throughout to see how thoroughly the
| parts were committed, and how all this
had been done, ~ the examination showed.
without detriment to the regular studies
Many of the students had prominent parts
both evenings. There was little prompting
and no signs of failure. The Brattleburo
Orchestra furnished music both evenings
and added much to the interest of the ex-
ercses.-The academy will open again,
under the direction OF its present principal,
Mr.. Lang, with full corps OF teachers, on
the 18th Of August.
