Though we would by no means be under

JEWISH HOLIDAYS. According to
the Hebrew calendar, to-day begins
the year 5638, aud the event is cele-
brated after the manner in which the
believers in Christ commemorate the
similar anniversary in their calendar.
The celebration commenced at sun
down last evening and will continue
two days, although the Reform Jews
observe but one. Monday after next,
the 18th inst, will be the Day of
Atonement, which is observed by the
most rigid fasting, no morsel of food
being permitted to pass the lips of the
believer from shutdown on the 10th
until shutdown on the 18th. During
these holidays the places of business
of our Jewish citizens will be closed
and appropriate services held in the
synagogue.

The Assumption Pioneer and Thib-
odaux Sentinel lift up their voices to
anathematize the railroad bridge at
Donaldsonville, which they declare
not only obstructs the free navigation
of the stream, but causes a hardship
to consumers of coal, inasmuch as
two cents per barrel is added for tow
age past the bridge. We had never
before heard of this imposition, but
presume our contemporaries down
the bayou must be in possession of
facts upon which to base their asser-
ton. Be patient, gentlemen. When
our little railroad reaches forth its
iron arms to secure to the capital
city of our State the vast trade which
should rightly flow to her doors from
the fertile fields and busy marts of
Texas, we feel confident you will join
us in regarding the railroad bridge as
very necessary aud beneficial
structure. Don't bewail or exaggerate
present inconveniences too yocifer-
ously there's a better time coming.
when two cents a barrel on cnal will

up in business or turn us back III
life."

The assessment rolls for the cur
rent wear will be to-day completed
by the Parish Assessor, Mr.. Felix
Braud, and deposited in the Recor-
der's Office, where they will remain
thirty days for inspection and cor
rection. Property holders who de-
sire to ascertain the valuation placed
upon their possessions should visit
the Recorders Office at once, as it is
desirable that all errors and irregu-
larities be discovered and corrected
at as early date as possible. There
is no doubt that the Assessor has been
thoroughly conscientious and fair
minded in the performance of his
duty of fixing the valuation OF taxable
property, but differences OF opinion
will exist relative to such matters,
and occasional errors are inevitable
The total assessment will exceed thai
of 1876, but the exact amount OF IN
crease can not be determined at pres
ent.

CONDITION OF OUR LEVEES.-By
persistent and provoking oversight,
the subject matter of this paragraph,
although written up for three or four
successive issues of the CHIEF, has
been as many times omitted. About
a month since, Messrs. B. NJ. Harrod
and T. S. Richardson, members of the
State Board Of Engineers, accompa-
MED by Mr.. Bolivar Thompson, Sec
rotary of the Board, and Mr.. Sydney
Lewis, an assistant, passed down the
river in a schooner yacht, engaged in
inspecting the levees. At the request
of the President of the Police Jury,
Mr.. r. II. Bloomfield, Parish Sur
veyor, accompanied the party to the
lower line of Ascension, assisting in
the work of inspection. 1t was found
that, while the general condition o.
the levees of this parish is excellent
there are several weak points which
require Strengthening, particularly
between Donaldsonville and the low.
er Mccall place, on the right bank o
the river.

Academic Saturday last while
several boys were riding to the depot
in the cart which usually carries the
messenger and his mail bags to the
daily train, one wheel of the cart ran
into a ditch and the vehicle upset.
The driver and his other companions
escaped unhurt, but Henry G. Duke,
aged ten years, son of Mr.. R. j. Duke,
was caught under the shaft, and sus-
tanned a severe fracture of the left
thigh. Dir. McGalliard was called
upon to attend the boy, who is doing
as we'll as could be expected. This
lamentable accident comes at q most
unfortunate season for our worthy old
friend Duke, and he merits general
sympathy. His wife has recently been
afflicted with serious and tedious
spell of sickness, closely followed by
the prostration of his children with
measles, and this new misfortune thus
bears with extraordinary weight upon
the limited resources of the family.
Friend Duke merits better fortune.

Parish Judge Maher on Saturday
began the examination of the case of
Henry Thomas, charged with the
murder of Harry Glasper, at the
Wallis place, but the process of adj
ducing the testimony of State wit
nesses was so tedious that the case
was continued to Monday. On the
latter day the examination was con-
cluded, and accused sent before the
District Court for trial, bond being
fixed at $3.50. The evidence against
Thomas, as we have heretofore ex-
planned, is entirely circumstantial,
and although there are some strong
points in it, the chain must be made
stronger to secure conviction. Ac-
cused has not furnished bond and ii
is probable he will not be able to do

We are glad to learn that Mr.. Du-
fossat, Gregoire, whose attempted sni-
eide we chronlcled in last issue, is
rapidly recovering from his self in
tlicted wounds, and will soon be re-
stored to his former physical and
mental condition. As we had appro-
hended, Mr.. GregOire WIS not in his
right mind when the mad effort to
take his own life was made. There
is still some confusion in the reports
of the causes which produced his tenn
porary mental alteration, but the
version of the matter which we select
comes from such direct and trust
worthy source that we can entertain
no doubt of its essential accuracy. 1t
seems that during 4 ball given ut the
residence OF Mr.. Gregoire a short time
since, man who lisa fugitive from JUS
tice-having given leg balm st. John
parish the day previous to that
fixed for his tlial on charge Of horse
stealing-was discovered in the act Oh
picking the locks of bureau in which
| money to the amount of several hun
dred dollars was kept. The fellow
was of course compelled to desist, but
for some reason, probably fear of his
luminosity, there seems to have been
no attempt to bring him to a legal
| account for this or his former misdeed
The circumstance preyed greatly upon
Mr.. Gregoire's mind be feared thai
another effort would be made to rot
and perhaps murder him, or to burn
his house down during the night, and
hence he sat up keeping watch severa
nights in succession. These weari
some vigils led to the free use of slim
ulating liquors, aud the effect of this
combined with the mental aud pllysi
cal strain upon his system, produces
the fit of temporary insanity during
which Mr.. Gregeire seized Il small

AS some of the colered witnesses in
the Daniel Mason log stealing case
were coming to town from Cofeld's
place in a cart, last Saturday morn
ing, the mule attached to the vehicle
took fright and ran away, and Min
erya Baker was thrown or fell from
the cart. One of the wheels passed
over her left leg, producing either a
fracture or very severe sprain. The
limb began to swell shortly after the
accident, and the woman was in such
pain that Judge Maher directed that
she be sent back home.
