WITH fitting ceremonies there
was formally opened yesterday the
most complete joint Agricultural
and Horticultural Fairever held in
Los Angeles. The event was cele-
brated by capital grafton from
the lips of the eloquent DR.. j.
Campbell Shorb, of San Francisco,
and by q poem in Mr.. A. F.
Ksrchevaps bappiest vein. Thor
ough as many features Of the hor-
ticuitural exhibit are, the visitor
should bear in mind the fact that
our energies have this year been
mainly employed In erecting the
Pavilion itself. This handsome
ediflce stands as q monument of
the public spirit and enterprise Of
our people. 1t has been hurrie d
forward with commendable rapid
Ity exclusively by voluntary con-
tributions. Workman have put
their muscle into the work gratu-
itously and those whose moneyed
Affairs admitted of it have in many
oAses given lavishly. During the
course Of the week copious notes Of
the Fair, both at the PAvilion aud
1t Agricultural Park, will be found
IN the columns Of the HERALD.
We r. grst to say that some Sec
tions, TO which We looked for at
tractivs exhibits. have been very
Indifferent to the opportunity Of
fsred, while others have exceeded
expectation. Take it for all in all ,
however, the event OF yesterday
was memorable one, aud we feel
In no humor for anything but con-
graf ulAfions.

went across the street and had
some loud talk, when they were
separated. A friend had hold ol
Robertson's right hand thinking
somebody had hold of Berryesal
who was ten feet distant. The lat
ter drew his pistol and shot at Rob-
ertson twice, when the latter drew
his pistol and both parties fired in
rapid succession, emptying theii
weapons. Robertson then hit
Berryesa over the head with his
six shooter, knocking him down.
Berryesa died in u few moments,
having received two bullets in his
body. Either would have caused
death. Robertson was shot through
his right arm and received bullet
In the lower part of the abdomen.

inquest to-day over the body OF
Berryesa, the jury returning ver-
diet that Robertson killed Berryess

VIRGINIA, New, Oct. 14th.-The
hoistipg works of the Lady Bryan
niue took fire at O'Clock this
morning and were burned. There
were four men in the works at the
time, but none of them got any
water on the fire. The engineer
left his post and all fed, leaving l3
men in the mine. The first inti-
nation these miners had of any
| thing being wrong was when the
red-hot cage came to the bottom OF
the shaft. They then rallied and
climbed one after another up the
shaft amid the falling firebrands,
$50 feet, to the connection with the
old workings, whence they made
their escape. Loss, 100000 fully

The HERALD kept Itself perfectly

bllity outlined by us that the right
bank Of the Rio Grande and Mata-
moras are shortly to be seized by
the United States, with the newt
able accompaniment of war with
Mexico. Before now we have had the
mlsfortune to be sneered at by our
les alert contemporaries and the
good fortune to be justified by the
event. Certain considerations of
dslioaoy prevented our being more
expllclt than we were, but We had
an exceedingly strong color of cir
eumstAnces to warrant US before we
sid word. Amongst the delect-
able Journals which have COM
msnted upon our article was our
venerable statistical grandmother
Of the San Francisco Commercial
Herald. That old lady, with an
a6sctation Of the vivacity ofyouth
worthy Of all Indulgence, says:
Thls dslicately-woven piece of
news 10 supplemented by few
Wiooocro comments to the same ef-
feet, the whole being concocted by
the feOund Imagination of some
exIled Bohemian, who ought to
have . wider sphere for the eXer-
cise Of his ability to skim the mar
gin Of truth without absolutely ut
tering lies. The good people OF
Los Angeles can dlspel all anxiety
On this account. General Sherman
never spoke q word that could be
construed Into the most remote
idea Of aggressivenes against Mex
lon, but has very emphatically as
ssrted his opinion that there will
be no hostile exhibition on either
side OF the frontier. Put away your
squirrel rides, hang up your rusty
swords. take q little OF Mrs. Wins
lows Soothing Syrup, and betake
yourselves to the repOse of your
vineyards and orange groves.
The foregoing effusion ought to
entitls its utterer to diploma in
the rivalry which senility sets UP
With jocund youth. But the Alta,
which deridsd our outgivings,
speaks in a more subdued vein.
From Its issue of Sunday. Oct. 18th,
We extract the following:
The comments made in this line
appeared then unauthorized. and
probably there was DO---basis for
them. But now~we are told by a
telegram from Prescott, Arizona,
that several military mentor in
stance, General Wilcox, Colonel
Weeks, Captain Craigue, and 9th

inspection Of posts in Sout bern Ar

70 we infer, although it is not so
stated. 1t may possibly be that
such is the case; yet SO far as Is
known here, President Diaz has
been doing everything within his
power to prevent any and all caus-
90 which might lead to such a re-
salt.
We don't despair OF both our con-
temporaries, In time, coming to
concede the fact that we wrote more

Yesterday evening a colored wo-
man living in the old house nearest
the corner of Lafourche and Iberville
streets, attempted to fill lighted
lamp with coal oil, holding a baby III
her arms at the time. AS might have
been expected, the oil ignited and the
lamp burst, burning the baby's head
and the woman's arm quite severely.
1t was owing to the presence of mind
of the woman's son, More, that both
were not moro seriously injured or
perhaps burned to death. He pre-
vented his mother from running into
the street, and threw quilt around
her and the child. A coloIed man
living next door ran in and extin-
guished the flames arising from the
burning oil, which threatened the de-
struction of the house. There is no
| use to moralize over this accident.
Thousands of newspaper columns have
been wasted in this way, and still the
world is full of senseless people who
handle coal oil as if it was no more
| combustible than tallow.

A special meeting of the Town
Council was held Monday evening
and the proceedings involved several
matters of local interest. Principal
among these was the proposition
adopted upon Mayor Duffel's motion
to ascertain if sufficient revenues
could be derived from other sources
to meet the expenses of municipal
government and enable the Council
to remit the license tax. The Police
Jury now possesses by specific State
law the authority to compel property
holders in Donaldsonvilie to pay par
ish taxes and licenses, and there IS
little doubt that the Jury, as at pres
ent constituted, will take full advan-
tage of this prerogative. The action
of the Council is taken, therefore,
with a view to tighten SO far as in its
power lies, the trebled burden of the
tax payers, and we trust the move
ment will be as successful as it is
praiseworthy.

BASE BALL.-There is fair pros
pect of a revival of that general in
terest in the national game which
prevailed here several years ago, and
should this prove the case, the season
will be prolific of some fine sport,
as there is probably more good
material here for the formation OF
clubs than at any previous time.
A strong nine has been organized
under the name of Grasshoppers, COM
posed of some of the best players OF
the Theresa club of Bayou Lafourche
and Young Lions of Donaldsontille,
and having for their pitcher young
mau who once filed that position in
the Hopes of Pass Christian, in their
day the leading club of Mississippi.
The old Burnsides also show 6
disposition to come to the front again
with FIVE or six of their original nine
and several recruits, who will, will
little practice, raise the club to it
former standard of excellence.
Outside of these two clubs ther'
will be ample material for the organ
| ization of at least one more and thu
opportunity will be affored the hom
boys to keep the ball going among
themselves whether chances to pla,
elsewhere occur or not.

DROWNED. - Wednesday evening
about dusk, Jacob Woodbridge, who
was in the employ of the lessee of the
ferry across Bayou Lafourche at
Lumville, fell into the bayou and was
drowned. The accident occurred
while he was crossing the stream in a
skiff, in answer to the hail of per-
son on the opposite bank who wished
to be ferried over. Woodbridge, ac-
cording to report, was somewhat in
toxicated, and while pulling the skiff
along by means of the rope stretched
across the bayou, missed his hold,
and losing his balance, fell backward
into the water. The body was re-
covered Thursday morning, and
buried in the Catholic Cemetery the
same evening. The Cannoneers took
their gun down the bayou for the
purpose of firing over the supposed
locality of the body and bringing II
to the surface, but the remains were
discovered and brought to shore be-
fore the arrival of the cannon. A
short time previous to his death
Woodbridge had been heard to use ex'
pressiops which led to rumor thai
he committed suicide, but the best
information which we can obtain
leads to the conclusion that the
drowning was accidental. This wa;

Richard Burns, an old colored man,
died suddenly at his residence quar-
ter of mile below Donaldsouville,
on the river, last Monday. The Cor
oner was summoned and held an in
quest, and his jury came to the con-
clusion that Burns was afflicted with
heart disease, which caused his
death. No physician was present to
make an examination, hence the jury
based their finding upon the best evil
dence that could be obtained as to
the manner and circumstances of the
death. We understand that there is
general indisposition on the part OF
local physicians to attend the in
quests held by our Coroner, owing to
disagreeable habit the Police Jury
has lately acquired of cutting down
bills rendered for medical services
| upon such occasions. The proper
way to obviate such a contretemps as
this is to elect physician to the of
fee of Coroner. This is the practice
| in maj ority of parishes and is really
| the only correct and sensible method
This thing of employing two persons
to do the work of one is not only ex'
pensive but extremely foolish, and we
trust the indiscretion will not be re.
peated in Ascension.

using dozens of remedies moro or less highly
