An error occurred i'll the list Of Com
mlssioners and Clerks of Election pub
lishcd III the CHIEF last week The Com
missioncrs intended for the New River
Lane poll were placed at Ashland and
rice rcrsn. The mistake, which was caused
by slip Of SECRETARY Vicknair's pen, is

The bleak and chilly winter winds blow
with merciless severity. Why stand and
shivcr i'll them! Go to Cheap Tony's and
purchase one Of his warm, comfortable
suits.
very favorable change in the weather
has taken place recently. Last week the
temperature lowered good many de-
grces and several frosts occurred which
have checked the second growth of sugar
cane and materially increased it's yield.
Our news from the sugar-llouses is very
scant, and We invite some of our plant
ing friends to give MS information rela-
tive to the progress they are making.
Break downs in the machinery Of
Messrs. Ben Gibsons and j. G.. Cofield's
sugar-houses have occurred recently, ne
ccssitating brief, but vexatiOns and ex-
pcnsivc delays for repairs. At the Tu-
reaud place, in the fifth ward, yestcr-
day evening, a small piece Of boiler was
blown out and two-fect patch was re-
qnired to stop the leak. Fortanately no
one was injured by the explosion.
We copy the following paragraph from
the Assumption Pioneer of the sth inst,
and Join with that Journal i'll extending
coincidence to Mr.. Green, who has been
50 sorcly afflicted during the past year:
Our former parishoner and friend J. c.
Green, Esq, visited his plantation here
on !, sad GRAND. The object Of his visit
was to see his promising son committed
to the grave in Christ Episcopal Gene
terry. Mavor C. Green died suddenly of
heart disease, at the early age of 10 years
and months, regretted by all who ever
knew him. He is the seventh child lost
Ivy Mr.. Green within the past twelve
months. Only one child is left to the
deeply afflicted father. If ever Il parent
deserved the sympathy of his friends, Mr..
Green does, and he has it from them all.
ENHlBlTloN.-We acknowledge, with
thanks, receipt Of complimentary tickets
to an exhibition to be given at Phoenix
Hall, next Saturday evening, the 29th

Academy. The reputation acquired by
Mrs. Heating and her young charges for
atforling to the public a rare combina-
ton of amusement and instruction in
their exhibitions, is sufficient to warrant
the prediction that a large audience will
attend the coming entertainment. The
price Of admission has been fixed at
twenty-five cents, and the pupil selling
the greatest number Of tickets will be
awarded an appropriate prize.
