Court Items.

The suit of Mrs. Weeks against the New
Orleans and Carrollton Railroad Company,
in the Superior District Court, has awak-
ered much interest during the past week
Her husband, the deceased, was gentle
man we'll known in New Orleans for more
than twenty years. In getting out of car
of another line he was struck down by q
car of defendant. The object Of the plain
tiff was not only to prove negligence, but
that at that hour the deft n dant started sew
eral cars at once.
The able counsel for the corporation
fought the case with every weapon he could
obtain. But the Jury were with the plain
tiff at the end, and gave verdict for $500
Judge Lynch said he could not permit the
gentlemen composing the jury to 60 to their
homes without thanking them for their pa
tient, unwearied and careful attention to
the case. 1t was very seldom that Judge
had the pleasure of presiding at a trial
where such jury was impaneled. With q
few moro words of thanks hs dismissed
them.
The customary fee Of 81 was then paid to
each of the jurors. The foreman, Edmund
NJ. Ivens, Esq. dropped his dollar into his
hat, and then passed it round to the others.
All put their fee into it, Then, with cour-
tesy that added graciouspess to the gener-
osity of the act, he presented the aggre-
gate fee to Mrs. Weeks. All who witnessed
the act were exceedingly pleased, not only
with its Hberality, but its novelty.

[Eigh school Exhibitions.

In noticing the graduating exercises of
Friday at the Boys Central High School,
our reporter should have stated that the
aud diercs was indebted to the girls of the
Upper High School for the entertaining
solos and full chorus singing heard during
the day. The music added greatly to the
pleasures of the occasion, and the fact was
gratefully acknowledged by Professor
Seamen in his thanks rendered to the girls
Of the Upper High School for the agreeable
mnsical assistance rendered.
In this connection a word Of praise ia due
to Professor A. Cardona, the able instruc-
tor of music for the High Schools. This
gentleman presided at the piano at the sew
eral exhibitions, ard the well timed singing
by the pupils was the result of his patient
and careful instruction throughout the
school term. His method is simple and ef
fective. and hs appears to have supplied a
want for school music by composing large
number of pieces well adapted for school
exhibition purposes. The farewell chorus
sung at the Lower Girls High School ex.
hlbition was of his composition, also the
echo song given by the girls OF the Upper
High School at their entertainment of
Thursday evening. This cong is arranged
SO that the melody of the chorus may be
taken up and repeated by singers lscated in
different parts of school building, now
strong and full, then diving away to sweet
and low cadence heard in the distance, and
it's complete rendering has pleasing effect.

PERSONAL.

T. Moroney, general agent for Messrs.
Ivison, Blakem an g. Taylor, publishers of the
American educational series of school books,
left for the Northwest Saturday, on the
steamer Thompson Dean. He is accom-
panied by his wife, and they will visit the

the first of October.
Mr.. McChesney, clerk of the steamer c.
H. Durfee, takes exception to the statement
published Friday morning, that he objected
to the soldiers coming on board the steamer
as an escort to Senator Twitchell. We are
glad to afford Mr.. McChesney the oppor
tunity to set himself right in this matter;
and it is to be regretted that q gentleman 80
we'll known for his kindness and courtesy to
travellers should be accused of conduct 80
foreign to his established reputation.

gerous that General Crook determined to
fall back to the point where the battle bs .
gan; meanwhile the Crows were cOunseling
on the bluff about the circumstances of the
fight, and expressing the belief that the
soldiers had not promptly supported their
first advance against the Sioux, which was
true, and had determined to return home :
Ammunition, only 100 rounds to q mar, wa
half exhausted; and General Crook con-
cluded to return to camp, and make another
advance after giving rest to the troops,
meanwhile hOping to cOnciliate the discOn-
tended Crows. In this he did not succeed !;
they left last evening for their village,
which they fear the Sioux have visited dur
ing their absence.
The Snakes still remain, but their stead.
fastness can not be relied on.
Some of the minor incidents Of the fight
were most horrible. A small euu uad of cav
alrymen, acting ss rear guard on the march !,
were ordered to hold point on the left. the
Sioux surrounded them aud shot theIn in
the face. only two escaping. Private
Richard Benefits body was disem box weled
hv the savages, and his hands and tret cut
off.
The troops behaved CALAMITY in rescuing
their dead and wounded. A corporal OF
Company F, Third Cavalry, made a allant
charge to rescue q comrade from the .calp-
ing knife.
The Sioux only obtained one scalp, while
the friendly Indians captured thirteen of
the Sioux, who dragged many of their dead
from the field behind their ponies.
The Sioux we're too much demorel zad to
trouble the column while withdrawing. A
bivouac was made the night after the battle
on the field. 1t is supposed the village oe

are that Mr.. McEnery will be the nominee.
Fully dozen of the North Louisiana and

supported BY the city delegates, with some
help from the Attakspss and Sabine par
ishes Moncure, of Caddo; Heron, OF

odds decidedly in favor Of the former.

Colonel John S. Mosby authorizes the

by very exciting or active campaign. The

it could be done. He will 60 into the work

DEAR SIR-In view of the near approach
to the long summer vacation, during which
the teachers receive no pay, it is desirable
that all possible financial relief should at
forded to enable some to seek health by q
change of climate, and others to meet ne
cessary expenses until the schools reopen

September, 1874, would tend to this end,
but there are lacking several thousand
dollars of enough to make this payment.
AS your bank has on several previous oc-
casions advanced the amount required, a
similar course at this time would be CRATE
fully appreciated and alleviate in some de-
