BASE BALL.-The Burnside and
Grasshopper clubs played close and
exciting game of ball on Cooks green,
last Sunday afternoon, which was
called at the close of the sixth inning
by reason of approaching darkness,
the score standing 10 to Z, in favor of
the Burnsides. Good fielding marked
the play of both clubs, and in this re-
spect the contest afforded fine ex-
hibition of the national game; but
both mines we're deficient in batting.
This was particularly the case with
the Burnsides, who found it almost
impossible to strike the ball as deliv-
cred by the young man who served as
pitcher for the Grasshoppers during
the first four innings. At that stage
of the game the score was 6 to l, the
Grasshoppers leading and the Burn
sides having three goose eggs tailed
against them. The BIS rallied, how
ever, and receiving balls they could
hit, knocked the Peck 81 Snyder
about in lively manner, putting up
nine runs and combining their oppo-
nents to big 0 and slim l in the
fifth and sixth innings.
These mines are each worthy the
others steel, and the announcement
that they have arranged series of
three matches for the local cham
pionship will prove interesting to all
who like to see the healthful aud ex-
citing game played. No. l of this
series will be contested on the Burn
side grounds, in Donaldsonville, TO-
morrow afternoon.

jenkins AnnihilatOr
The Great Southern Remedy for
RHEUMATISM, GOVT
AND NEURALGIA |

Those terrible enemies of human happi-
ness, rheumatism, Gout and Neuralgia,
heretofore seemingly uneonquerable, have
indeed found their master in Jenkins Ami
hilator. We have the testimony of men of
the highest standing in Louisiana and other
States, that after suffering Understandable
pains for years, from which they sought ro-
lief in vain by visiting the Hot and Warm
springs of Arkansas and Virginia. and by
using dozens of remedies more or less highly
praised, when, in fact, hope had almost died
out, they lave found relief from pain by the
use of the Annihilator, and by continuing it
for short time, have been perfectly cured.
The Annihilator is q preparation purely
vegetable, agreeable to the taste, and may
be taken without fear of any injurious re-
suits by the delicate as well as the robust i'll
constitution.

The editor made one of party of
eight that visited Grand Bayou, in
Iberville parish, on fishing expedi-
ton, Tuesday, and it is safe to say
the affair yielded as much enjoyment
to the participants as can be crowded
into one brief day. Abundant fish
were hooked to afford an excellent
breakfast and a royal dinner, though
the finny creatures were all small, of
perch and cat varieties, it being too
early in the season for the successful
pursuit of larger fish. Mr.. August
Schwartz, a we'll to- do farmer owning
a fine place on the bayou, laid the
party under obligations by sundry
courtesies while luckless native
whose cognomen we did not ascertain
afforded us infinite amusement by up
setting his frail dugout three times
and giving himself that number of
duckings. These involuntary baths
were superin{uced by confused state
of mind resulting from frequent pota-
tions INDUCED in at the urgent solicit
tation of the hospitable visitors COM
posing our fishing party. The climax
of this amusing episode was reached
when the dugolit careened alongside
and disappeared under our small fat,
from whence it was extracted with
considerable difficulty. The native
was glad to escape with a thorough
drenching and the loss of his coat,
which went to the bottom when his
boat upset the third time.

We return tardy thanks to our val
ued friend, Mr.. John Reuss, for his
annual gift of demUohn of fine syrup.
Like all men of real worth, Mr.. Reuss
is modest, and We have no doubt he
would prefer that his little kindnesses
to the editor and family should not
be mentioned in print, but we must
insist upon setting his generous ex-
ample before our other sugar planters.
1t is merely question of greed and
self-interest, Mr.. Reuss, and an under-
handed subterfuge by which we seek
to keep the slapjack department of
our household economy supplied with
one of its most necessary condiments.

Mayor Duffel finds by examination
of the tax roll that the State and par
ish assessment, upon which municipal
taxes are now to be collected, will
yield tho town this year about $3.50
over and above the sum total of the
corporation tax of 1877, aud this en-
courages him to believe that the
Council can readily afford to forego
the collection of licenses if the Police
Jury insist upon exercising their au.
thority to exact parochial licenses
from town merchants, as they proba-
bly, will do. Judging from the dis
position heretofore shown by our pa
rochial legislators, they will not be
prone to relinquish one iota of the
power which the law gives them to
enforce tribute from the unfortunate
people of Donaldsonville. This mat
ter will doubtless be settled during
the coming week, as both the Police
Jury and Common Council will hold
their regular meetings, the former on
Monday, the latter Tuesday evening.

UNIONTOWN.

Mr.. Joseph Smith, for many years
resident of this locality, late of New
Athens, died at his home at that place
on Sabbath morning 24th, and his fu-
neral took place today. The services
were conducted in the U. P. Church,
DR.. Vincent leading. There were also
brief remarks by Revs. Stewart, Mil
ford and Weddell. All bore witness to
the Christian character of the deceased.
1t was asserted that he was never
known to be angry. The citizens OF
the town in which he resided and all
that had formed an acquaintance with
him, held him in great esteem, and
there is no lack of sympathy for those
who mourn bis loss. Your correspond
ent has known him from early child
hood, and when a child spent many
days upon his farm, known him in
years of manhood, and can say with
others that if he had faults no one
knew what they were. He was the
father-in-law of Rev. r. G.. Campbell
eur worthy pastor, of Rev. Andrew
Gordon many years a missionary in
India, of III. Mcfarland, Esq, a gentle
man of wealth, high social standing
and unblemished Christian character.
He vas for many years ruling Elder
in Unity congregation, and only sever
ed his relation with that church when
he removed to his new home. He was
about sc years of age. -.-..-
Mrs. Martha Mccartney, formerly of
this town, wife of Mr.. James McCart-
ney, and sister of Mr.. John Sharp, of
this locality, died at her home in Jack
sonville, Illinois, during the month OF
January. We have but recently bean
apprised of her death and are unable
to give the particulars, but we learn
that it was caused by Cancer. Mrs.
Mccartney was well and favorably
known to the people of this communi-
ty, and we can only say that to the
sorrowing friends is rendered heartfelt
sympathy. -

The paper in the March Scribner to
which most readers will probably first
turn is Noah Brooks's Personal Re-
miniscences OF Lincoln continued
from the Midwinter number. Mr..
Brooks gives this month anecdotes of
Lincoln with the army and at the the
atre, etc, and conversations regarding
public men and ents,-material
which has never been in print before.
OF a similar interest is Last Days Of
E lgar A. Poe,' by Mrs. Susan Archer
Weiss, who knew Poe Intimately in
Rich mond, and here gives newly
printed evidence that can hardly be
omitted in making up an estimate Il
his character.
President Bodine writes of Kenyon
College in Ohio "a we'll known educa-
ton outpost fifty years ago), dwelling
upon the relations to the college OF
Bishop Chase and r. B. Hayes, the
one as president, the other as student.
Portraits of both are given, ,as well as OF
David Davis, Stanley Matthews and 9th

are two short stories,- ,-'S Susan LawtOn's

Hon. l.. DanfOrd Out of the Con.
~ gresslOnal Contest. se i.u

For couple. of eeks the District
papers have been discussing with va.
ried views, the reported withdrawal oi
Congressman Danford from the Con
gressional contest. That the matter
may be put at rest so far as Mr.. Dan
ford is concerned, we are authorized
to state that he has fully determined
not to be candidate again under any
circumstances for denomination.
Mr.. Danford appreciates the many
marks of appreciation shown him from
friends in different parts of the district,
urging him to place himself in the
hands of the people, yet with due de-
ference to their expressions of conf
dence, he considers for reasons of pri'
vate and business character, that he
should not longer remain in Congress.
Reluctantly as we make this state
ment, knowing as we do the reasons
which prompt Mr.. Danford to retire
from public life, we cannot but admit
the force of them, and ask his friends
to accept as final the announcement
here made. We, together with thou
sands of Republicans in the district, re
gret exceedingly that Mr.. Ddnford will
not consent to serve the people, at least
smother term. Whatever his future
may be, of this we are certain, that
history will write him down as faith
ful public servant, true to his convic'
tions of right, to his constituents and
his country.
