T DAMAGES FOR FALSE IMPRIsoNMEST.-ln
the Circuit Court of Henrico on Saturday,
Judge Wexford presiding, in the case OF F.
Graviller and Joseph Hagmann, OF Washing
ton city, against the Baltimore Brick Com
panv, suit for damages for false imprison-
ment, the Jury rendered averdict in favor OF
plaintiffs for $500 each. Grayiller Il Hagg-
mann contracted with the United States
Government for the erection Of the wall to
enclose the Seven-Pines Cemetery. They
made an agreement with the Baltimore
Brick Company to purchase from the Brick
Company the brick necessary, the payments
to lie made from time to time, ana twenty
per cent; of the whole amount to be re-
served until the completion OF the work: 1t
is alleged that before the completion OF the
work Mfr. Mann, the agent OF the Brick
COMPANY, had plaintiffs arrested as ab-
sconding debtors. They were confined in
Henrico Jail for about fifty days when the
suit was decided by Judge Wexford and
they were released. 1t is likely that de-
PENDANTS will take an appeal. Wise and Cos

COLONEL YUENGLING AS REX AT TIE NEW
YonK CARNIvAL.-We have already pub
lished kilograms from New York giving ac-
counts OF the recent carnival there, but the
name of Rex has never yet been given.
The many Richmond friends OF Colonel
Yuengling will be interested in the follow
ing Justly mplimentary notice from New
York exchange:
"The name Of the gentleman who wore
the royal robes yesterday is David u. YuenS-
ling, Jr., proprietor of three great brewe-
ries-one in Richmond, Va, and two in this
city, which are situated at One-Hundred-
nd-Twenty-eighth street and Tenth ave
nue., and One Hundred and Twenty-elghth
street and Fourth avenue. The establish
ment in Carmansyille is certainly the model
establishment of its kind in the country.
Its kingly proprietor is only thlrty-hve
wears of age, and is already millionaire.
lie was born in Pottsville, Pa, where he
learned the brewing business. At the
age of sixteen he came to New York
and engaged with q large brewing firm
here. After he had mastered the business
he was given entire control OF it. He went
to Europe in 1868 and visited all the great
beer vaults on the continent. On his return
he built the Richmond brewery, which cost
him 100000. His pride, however, Is the
institution at One-Hundred-and-Tw Twenty
eighth street and Tenth avenue. There one
sees world Of industry. Everything con-
nected with the business OF brewing beer
and carting it away to be sold is done on the
grounds. The very nails driven into the
hoois OF the horses are made there. In the
parade Mr.. Yuengling, King Rex, had three
wagons that cost $4,000. One was drawn
by eight bay horses, another by eight Srays.
Personally Mr.. Yuengling is handsome
man Of the blond type, who is just portly
enough to wear the kingly robes with
grace
This is the kind OF man we ought to be
proud to have interests in our midst. Let
everybody drink James River beer to the
health OF Rex, and take it regularly

The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1877-11-17

After about five years of almost
continuous employment in the CHIEF
Office, Master VIM. F. Stockmeyer
last week left us to assume the posi-
ton of collector on the ferry boat
Little Minnie, where he represents
the interests of his stepfather, Mr..
Raphael Mousse, one of the owners
of the boat and of the river ferry
lease. Willie is Young man of good
capacity, and viii make his own way
in the world by dint of intelligence,
industry and steady habits. He en-
tered the CHIEF Office without any
previous knowledge of Typography,
and leaves it as good printer as the
scope of the trade pursued in a coun-
try Office will allow. He has been a
faithful assistant to as, and during his
long term of service not a days dis
satisfaction has been felt on our side,
nor, we believe, upon his. We regret
to part with Willie, but hope the
change of occupation will innre to his
advantage and that prosperity will
attend his future.

A bird with four legs and two bodies
is an ornithological curiosity recently
seen in Morehouse parish By the edi-
tor OF the Bastrop Clarion. This re-
minds us that among droveof mules
duartered at the Schonberg stables,
in this town, few weeks since, was
one animal with two pairs of ears, the
extra and smaller pair protruding
from the head under aud ut the base OF
the orthodox organs, While the out
ward formation of this fungus growth
was perfect, there was, however, an
absence of the inner mechanism
which supplies the faculty of herring.
One of the jowls of this same mule is
ornamented with a hairy excreseence,
looking as if it might make still an
other ear in course of time, but which
is, as yet, in very imperfect state Of
development.
