street in front of Patterson's drug store, on
Friday evening. He struck Mr.. Thompson
from behind, without warning, on the head
just above the temple and staggered him. and
then took to his heels. The reason for the
assault is supposed to have grown out of re-
cent family trouble. Threatenings of shoot

since that time, but as yet no blood has been
spilled. Thompson is out of town temporari-

The Donaldsonville chief., 1877-12-22

The two " Gypsies" who were ar
rested last week for disturbing the
peace, resisting the Town Constable
and carrying concealed weapons,
We're brought before Judge Maher on
writs of hGbeGs corpus, Tuesday, and
proved to be genuine sons of the ould
sod and any thing but Gypsies-Tom
Kane and Jim Conway by name. No
proper papers being shown for their
incarceration, the Judge sustained the
writs, but tile men were at once re-
arrested and taken before Justice
Evans. After examination of the case,
however, that officer ordered their re-
lease. Accused say they were bound
for Texas, and merely intended to re-
main here day Or two to rest. They
got ar. rest not bargained for and were
delighted at the opportunity which
Justice Evans afforded them for shak-
ing Donaldsonville dust from their
brogans.

Prof. Frank Moncayo, formerly of
the celebrated Moncayo family, gave
an outdoor exhibition, Sunday last,
on a tight-rope stretched from the
roof of Israel's coffee house to that
of Mr.. Feyrier's residence, across
Lessard street. The performance was
witnessed and applauded by large
crowd of people. The performer is
under engagement to DR.. j. Delgardo
to give similar exhibitions at the fol-
lowing places: Paincourtville, to-
day. at 3 o'clocl1 2. NJ; Napoleonville,
tomorrow, at 1880 P. NJ; Donald
sonVille, Christmas day, at noon;
Plaquemine, Saturday next, at 3 P.
NJ, and Bayou Goula, Sunday, Both
inst, at 1890 P. NJ. In connection
with each performance, Dir. Delgarlo
advertises to demonstrate to the af-
fiicted the curative qualities of the
medicine of which he is proprietor.

We enjoyed an agreeable chat with
Messrs. Henry c. Braud and Edwin
E. Shanks, who honored US with a call
Tuesday evening. They gave US
considerable information relative to
the sugar yield, confirming reports of
the heavy losses which reach us from
all directions. Mr.. Shanks had just
returned from a trip to IberviIle, and
it was his opinion that the planters of
that parish have been still more un-
fortunate than those of Ascension,
the unpropitious weather rendering
greater proportion of the cane worth
less than is the case here.
The Donaldsonville chief., 1877-12-22

THE SUGAR CRoP.-A continuance
of the warm, unfavorable.. weather
during the past two weeks capped
the climax of disaster to the sugar in
terests, and majority of planters
have been compelled to stop their
mills with unground cane in various
quantities still on hand, or content
themselves with the manufacture of
an Indifferent quality of syrup for
which there is q glutted and unprof-
liable market. The losses have been
considerable upon every hand-only
the smaller places, where grinding
was nearly finished when the freezes
occurred, realizing yields eommensu-
rate with expectations entertained
early in tho season. Experienced
planters with whom we have con-
versed estimate the average loss in
this parish at one half the usual crop.
On some plantations there is falling
off of two thirds, and instances may
be cited where three fourths is not
too high figure at which to estimate
the diminution on account of the un-
productivencss of the cane. Hun
dreds of acres of the staple have been
abandoned in windrow or standing
in the field, being soured to such
degree as to render it worthless.
A number of the larger sugar mills
are still in operation, but most If
these will suspend during the coming
week.

The new levee at Port Barrow, ex-
tending from short distance above
the old fort to the lower line of the
Dicharry property, is completed. A
number of small houses which stood
between the old levee and the site of
the new one, had to be moved back,
and the last one of these buildings
was rolled through a gap in the new
embankment Wednesday afternoon of
last week. The levee was built un-
der the direction of Mr.. G. Nolan, the
contractor, and seems to be very
substantial piece of work.

Owing to the refusal of Parish
Treasurer Vicknair to receive checks
or drafts, the Tax Collector did not
perfect his settlement for his Noyem-
ber collections last Saturday. The
Treasurer insisted that the total
amount should be paid in currency,
and as Capt. Landry had taken COM
mercial paper for the taxes of nearly
all the larger property holders, he was
compelled to defer settlement until he
could visit New Orleans and present
this papsr to the drawees for payment,
The Collector is expected home to-
day, and his coming is anxiously
awaited by the impecunious parish of
ficers who depend upon the Parish
Treasurer to supply them with holi-
day money.

Coles circus did not exhibit here
on No nday, as advertised, the heavy
fog OBTAINING the boats of the compa-
ny between this place and New Or
leans so that they did not pass here
until late Monday night or early the
following morning. To have stopped
and exhibited at Donaldsonville on
Tuesday would have cansed Mr.. Cole
to break dozen engagements at as
many points above, hence in giving
Us the go-by he chose the least of the
two horns of his dilemma. The adj
vance agent of the circus contracted
several debts here which remain un-
paid, but the good reputation Mr..
Cole has heretofore borne in the mat
ter of discharging his financial obli-
CATIONS induces us to believe that the
bills referred to will be settled at the
first favorable opportunity.

A troupe of strolling players, call
ing themselves the popular Selden-
Irwin combination, ornamented the
waste places about town with gaudy
posters, announcing that exhibitions
would be given here /" for few nights
only" Their appearances were few
indeed, for the day the first enter
tainment was to have been given, the
popular combination boarded an up
ward bound steamboat in a body and
departed. From what we learn of
this crowd, we judge them to be
adopts in the fine art of swindling.

Israel g. Co.'s colored Zeke is walk
ing around with that Monte Cristo
rife-ball still in his system, and it
doesn't seem to interfere with his di-
gestion, nor yet prevent him from
taking his meals in the usual sitting
posture.
