The remains of Mr.. Jacques Cab
rion-whose death on the 2lst inst,
was recorded in our last issue-were
| brought from Mr.. Gabriel Kings
place, in Assumption parish, to DON
aldsonville, the evening of the day of
Mr.. Gabrion's demise, and lay in the
Truck House of Ascension Hook and
Ladder Company until 8 o'clock
Monday morning, the 22nd inst,
when the funeral took place. Mem
bers of the Hook and Ladder Com
pany detailed for the purpose sat
with the body Sunday night and I'M
til the hour of burial, fresh details
coming on watch at intervals of three
hoars. The funeral was conducted
under the auspices of the company
and was everything that could be
desired by the friends of deceased.
Services were held in the Episcopal
Church, Rev. Edward Lewis officia-
ting, and the procession moved from
there to the Protestant cemetery in
the following order: l. Crescent
Band; 2. The minister in buggy !;

resting place, the iremen returned to
their respective halls and a commit

Mr.. Gabrion was a very estimable
young man in every respect, and his
untimely death is mourned by all who
knew him. His aged parents and other
kindred in distant Lorraine will have
the melancholy satisfaction of know
ing that, although far away from those
endeared to him by ties ofrelationship,
his last hours were eomforted by the
ministrations Of cherished friends aud
his remains consigned to the tomb
with appropriate cerimonies, attest
ing the esteem IN which be was held
among numerous circle of acquain-
tances.

not so numerously attended as their
previous entertainments, and failed
to meet the expectations of the pro-
jectors in financial point of view,
but it was very enjoyable affair

CRAZY MAY.-May has returned
to the parish Jail. The reader will
readily apprehend that this declara-
ton can not be intended to refer to
the balmy month which began to
smile upon US from brilliant skies
three days ago. The May referred to
in the present instance is Charles
May, the Eighty individual who has
been twice tried before our District
Court for starting the FIRE which de-
stroyed wing of DR.. j. e. Legare's
residence in January of last year. 1t
will be remembered by those who
read the GRIEF that Mays first trial
resulted III verdict of guilty but
that, new trial being granted, the
accused was lucky enough to secure
an aequittal. We expressed an opin-
ion at the time that the jury were
influenced in their finding by belief
that the prisoner was not of sane
mind, and although some parties fa-
miliar with the case took occasion to
declare their dissent from this view,
our position is now confirmed in
great measure by the incarceration of
May, last Monday, on the affidavit of
DR.. Legare affirming his belief of the
prisoners insanity and petitioning

THE TOWN ELECTION.

Creditable Result of the Municipal Con-
test-An Excellent Choice of Officers
Made--Tie Vote for Collector.
We have. delayed the issue of our
paper until Sunday for the purpose of
giving the returns of the municipal
election, aud we present the figures
with feeling of profound satisfac-
ton, inasmueh as the result has full
filled our hope that the most worthy
and capable candidates would be
successful. Even the failure of the
editor to achieve the eminence of an
Aldermanic position has no tendency
to dampen the qualification with which
we view the discontinue of ring of
tricksters aud wire-pullers who
thought themselves able to foist any
candidate of their choice upon the
people of Donaldsonville, irrespec-
tive of his character or capacity.
We defer further comment until
