The world renowned success Of Hostel
ter's Bitters, and their continued popu-
lar;ty for q quarter Of a century as "a

than the welcome that greets the annual
appearance of Hostetter's Almanac. This
valuable medical treatise is published by

der their own immediate supervision,
employing 80 hands in that department.
Ten cylinder printing presses, 8 folding

about eleven months In be year on this
work, and the issue of the same for 1879
will not be less than ten millions, printed

DaF We understand that the

DHF We understand that the
Catholic ladies of the town have
a movement on foot to hold a
grand fair here on the 30th and
3lst Of this month and New Year S
Day, for the benefit Of the church.
The court house has been secured
for that purpose and all arrange
ments likely to contribute to its
success have been made. Miss
Blanche Perret who is the lead
ing spirit in the enterprise, has
chosen a French piece to played
upon the occasion and has already
had several rehearsals, Of it.
Messrs. Clarence j. Edwards,
Isaac Wise and W. B. White
have kindly consented TO act as
a Committee on English plays,
and the names Of these gentlemen
are a sufficient guarantee that
their selections will be good ones,
and the parts assigned to those
most capable Of doing credit to
them. The young ladies are all
quite busy engaged in preparing
all Imaginable trinkets for the
occasion and are getting ready
their sweetest smiles to bestow
upon the purchasers of their
wares. The funds derived from
the fair are to be applied to the
renovation of the church which
wears a dilapidated appearance
and stands sadly IN need of a
course OF repairs. One thing
which we are pleased to note in
connection with this affair is the
utter lack Of that bitter sectional
bigotry which alas so often
blinds the most devout followers
of the Blessed Savior. No where
do we think, there prevails a
more truly christian spirit than
among the christian people OF
this vicinity. The barriers ol
sectarianism are broken down
and all traces Of religious preju
dice and hatred oblitelated upon
such an occasion as this. Several
years since the Methodists held q
grand Bazaar for the benefit o.
their church and were the recip
tents of substantial aid and encour
agements from the Catholics, anc
to-day the Protestants Geek tt
display an equal liberal anc
enlightened spirit.

ady= On last Tuesday the Bird

large and valuable tract of land
above and adjoining town known
as the "Blanchet Place" In
order to facilitate matters the
Administrator had a portion OF
the tract, consisting Of seven and
g half arpents front by forty in
depth, surveyed off into tive-ar-
pent lots duly marked and num-
bered as per plan. The first few
lots sold brought only fair prices
but when the second tier of lots
was reached competition was
brisk. DR.. White secured lots
| and 7 and Rev. Father Mehault,
lot No 2, while DR.. n. T. Chevis
purchased several fine building
lots close to town, Nos 8, s and 9
and also the rear portion of the
tract. The little peninsula
laying between the bayou and
coulee Valcourt, numbered as lot
Is was as holly contested as some
of the battles in the Peninsula

knocked off to Mr.. W. A. White
for two hundred and sixty

on which stands the beautiful
grove Of live oak and pecan trees
commonly known az "'The Pecans,''
"a spot famous for the many noted
and bloody encounters which
have occurred there between the
Young blades OF Vermilion and
