Mr.. -Gottlieb Siefried handed us a
recent copy Of the Daily ICoarier Of
Evansville, Ind, few days since,
which contained an account of a meet
ing at that city between Mrs. sieiried
and her brother, Mf. Alfred Berpg,
after a separation Of twenty years.
THE brother and sister came to this
country from Germany together, land
ing at New Orleans, from whence the
latter soon after came to the parish OF
St. Ja:aes and subsequently to Don
jacksonville, as n domestic, leaving
her brother employed in the city. Hs'
left there without his sisters knowl-
edge, and from that time until within
the past two months the two have
been ignorant Of each others where
abouts. The sister married our re-
spected fellow citizen MI. Siefiied,
and the brother wandered to Evans
vile, where he procured Il position az
porter in IL large mercantile bpuse.
About six weeks ago, Mrs. Siefsied
learned from an acquaintance who
had recently been IN Evansville that
one Alfred Bernz was residing there.
She wrote a letter to this person, and
the reply soon came that she had in
deed found her long lost brother. Al
soon as practicable she started upon
visit to Evansville, accompanied by
her daughter, Miss Mollie. They ar.
rived safely, and there was an affec-
tionate meeting between the brother
and sister who had been twenty years
separated. The friends of Mrs. Sic
ried will rejoice at the happy reunion
of the relatives, and will wish herself
and daughter pleasant sojonrn In
Evansville and a safe return home.

Second Anniversary Parade Of Phoenix
Fire Company No. l Of Donaldsonville
"A Fine Pageant and Good Dinner.

IA line fageant ana 00oo Ulnno1'
Last Monday morning the sun
dawnc.l brightly and all the indica-
tons pointed to a splendid day for
the parade Of Phoenix Fire Company
III honor of tlieir second anniversary,
which auspicious event was "d"wn
on the bills" as theatrical people say,
to take place Oh the Monday afOre-
said, May 10th, 1875. A light shower
of rain had fallen during the previous
night, aud it WIS truly a gotlsend for
the Phoenix boys and the friends who
participated in their parade, inasmuch
as the heavy dust was da'npened by
its friendly aid and much Of the dis
comfort Of Il tramp through the streets
at this warm and dry season Of the
year obyiated. ,.t
About 2:3O in the afternoon the
members of Phoenix company began
to assemble at the engine house in
full uniform, which consists Of regu-
lation fireman's leather hat and belt,
white shirt with black velvet trim
mings, including small phoenix on
each wristband, black pants and
white cotton gloves. We have de-
scribed this outfit before, aud ex-
pressed the opinion-which We still
adhere to-that it stands unexcelled
for neatness and beauty. Nearly an
hour and a half was consumed in
preparations for. . start, The cont
pany brought their pretty little en-
CINE " Katie" from the engine-h6use
and ranged themselves in proper Or
der along the rope, in which position
they were photographed collectively
BY an artist engaged for the occasion.
We have not yet seen the picture pro.
duced, but have been informed that
it was quite satisfactory. Before ar.
rangements for the taking of the pho.
tograph were completed, number Of
boys marched upon the scene, under
the leadership Of Professor Heating,
aud general interest was attracted to-
| wards them when it was ascertaine<l
that they were drawing an elalorate
miniature fire engine, appropriately
decorated with flowers aud ever
green's. On q silken streamer at.
taehed to the little beauty was dis
played in golden letters the name
Louise" This unique piece Of me-
chanism was constructed by Messrs
Icard e. Ferrier-whose reputation as
first class mechanics is well est.b-
lished hereabouts-and was chris
tened in honor of Mr. Jos. Ferrier's
second daughter, Miss Louise.
| Uudcr the direction of the Marshal'
aud the officers of PhGnix,

was formed about half past three
o'clock. and marched in the order fol

The new Council met and organ.
lied last Saturday. By the official
minutes published elsewhere it will
be observed that a committee COM
posed of Aldermen Ferrier, Rodrigue
and Arnaud was appointed to exam
inc into the outstanding Indebtedness
of the town, with power to send for
persons and papers. This is an i'm
p0rt;.mt movement in the right direc-
ton, and the composition of the COM
mite is ali indication that their work
will be honest aud thorough. This
consolidated bond question, which has
so long harrassed, the municipality, is
now in a fair way to be sitted to the
bottom and the assumed legality and
equity of the bondl.olders' claims Ell
Their indicated or Overtlrown. The
newly elected town officers required
to give bonds presented their, secnri-
ties, whom the Council approved.
The circumstance of member offer
ing for approval bill for the print
ing of the Conservative election tick
cts, created some amusement at the
Councils session. Mayor Terrio in
formed the we'll meaning but verdant
Alderman that such bills were not
PAYABLE out of the public treasury,
and the account was withdrawn. The
Council adjourned to meet again yes
tcrtiay evening at 4 o'clock. The pro-
ceedings of this meeting will be pub
lished next week.

BOARDING SCHOoL.--On the lst of
Septemher next the Sisters Of Charity
in charge Of the St. Vincent's 1nsti-

ing school for tile reception Of pupils

deserve tn meet with SUCCESS in the
venture. The healthful and beautiful
situation Of the Institution, added to
the enviable reputation of the accom-
plislIc.l Sisters as instructors of youth,
| aud the remarkably reasonable terms
upon which they receive pupils, will
render the school second to none in
4 the South. In another column we
/ publish an announcement of the in
ception Of the Boarding School, to-
cether with a schedule of terms of
tuition, ETC., and to this we invite the
attention of all our readers. Board,
lodging aad stuitia' in oil branches of
