avail themselves OF the devOtions OF the
season. He addressed them both in
German and English, cxhorting them Ia
the necessity Of renewing their resOlu-
tons, Of more perfect relation in mat
tiers relating TO eternity. The collection
for sanctuary purposes amounted to
over seventy.five dollars, most liberal
amount considering the notice.
The afternoon services concluded with
"a most solemn and impressive process

The choir. under the management OF
Prof. Burg and wife, was creditable

MINSTREL PERFORMANCE. A local
minstrel combination who have assumed
the title Of Wandering Minstrels, prob
ably because they never go away from
home, gave performance at the Phoenix
Hall, Friday evening Of last week, but
owing to the unpleasant GOODNESS of the
weather they had a small audience and
the entertainment was not financial
success In other respects, however, it
proved all that could bc desired. Three
roaring farces constituted the programme,
and the amateur burnt cork artists per-
formed their respective roles in a manner
that would have done no discrcdlt to
professionals. The spectators, though
few in number, were very appreciative.
and derived SO much amusement from
the performance that they will be pleased
to learn that the Wanderers will give
another entertainment at the same hall
next Saturday evening, the Goth inst.
An entire change Of programme is an
nouncet. We hope the weather will
prove propituous and the audience large.

The delinquent tax list for 1879 may
be seen in this issue Of our paper, and
VIC scarcely think any Of our readers
having the full use of their eyes will ex-
perience much difficulty in finding it..
We made a desperate effort to get it all
on one page of the paper, and for that
purpose contracted the width Of the col
umns and thus managed to get eight on
page, but the great length Of the list
upset our calculations and threw the
best part of column over to the second
page. We have noticed delinquent tax
lists published in nearly all the newspa-
pers Of the country parishes, but that OF
Ascension appears to carry off the palm
for length, breadth and thickness. All
delinquents who would avoid an increase
of the penalties and costs already ac-
crued upon their past due taxes should
settle with the Collector before the ex-
pratiou of tho present month.

he seen that the semi-weekly meetings
of Cofeld Battery c, which have been
suspended for some weeks during the
sugar-making season, will be resumed
from and after Wednesday, the 18th inst.
We trust the members of this promising

lnerous admirers that the company will

ing the Louisiana State National Guard.
The Cofeld Battery was expected to
participate with the balance of the Or
leans Artillery in the celebration of the
fete de Ste. Barbe, at New Orleans, on the
eth inst, and it's enforced absence was
the cause of much regret among the OH
GERS and men of the other companies of
the regiment, as we'll as the general
public. Lieuts Maher, Earhart and
Freret worthily represented the Battery
in the celebration and at the grand ball
given by Battery of the same regiment,

would have been more satisfactory to all
concerned. To compensate for this dis
appointment, Cotield Battery is conf

DEAR CHIEF:
Considerable time has clasred since
the date Of my last contribution, moth
ing having transpired Of any Importance,
but | am going to try to the best Of my
ability to furnish you a few items.
Our little canton Is quiet, as usual,
and things in general lively. Among our
planters that are through grinding are
Mossrs. Adlard Landry, r. O. Landry
and Il. Bujol, and despite the damage
caused by the late storm, as a general
thing the yield was fair and the prices
good for open kettle sugar. That *
perienced and stirring old planter, DR..
E. Duffel has hauled his last cane to
Yale's Home place. He sold it by the
ton to Mr.. Yale, who has purchased q
large quantity from his neighbors. Sew
| erel planters in this vicinity are grind
ing yet, among whom is Mr.. John Reuss.
Notwithstanding several breaktLowns,
John takes it easy and makes time. The
sugar manufactured on tie Home place
by D. Gentil classes aCan't be beat. !"
Dominique wears an old hat, but carries
under it a sugar head. At the scales can
be found the polite and accommodating
chief weigher, Charley George, putting
away at his Cuba six, always ready to
tell you about the old country, how to
make k1uut and how u Dutch,uan gets
fat. M4....5m. .-e
On the 3Oth of November a game of

was played at A. Lale's store by John

not being an expert at the game, re-
ceived cut in tire left shoulder, painful
but not dangerous. Cause: an overdose

A MODEL HOUSE.-But few numbers O

A MODEL HOUSE.-But few numbers Of
the CHIEF have been issued during the
past six or seven years that did not con
tain the advertisement of that popular
mercantile firm, N. Israel & Co., or their
predecessor in business, the late Marx
Israel. This house has been a liberal
patron of the press, and by similar dis
play of foresight in all other respects,
has reaped rich reward from it's liber-
atty. It would, of course, be absurd for
MS to claim that the fame and success
attained by this firm are due alone to the
lavish use of printers ink. If NJ. Israel
& Co., were not prepared to carry out the
promises and fulfil the representations
made in their advertisements, customers
would soon cease to he attracted thereby
and the money thus invested would be
thrown away. They are too shrewd to
gull the public by shallow articles, and
when they make an announcement in the
columns of the CHIEF, their patrons feel
assured from experience that it is to be
relied upon. In this way, the newspaper
and the printer have been constituted
valuable-and we might almost cay in
spensable-auxiliaries to the growth
and success of their business.
NJ. Israel & Co., keep always on hand
a full stock Of seasonable goods, compri-
sing complete assortment ofeverything
usually to he found in ffrst-class dry
goods and general mercantile establish
ments. Their extraordinary facilities for
purchasing large invoices III the northern

Mr.. Pierre klopman is the manager
of the elegant and extensive establish
ment of NJ. Israel &, Co., and with the
assistance of gentlemanly and con,pe-
tent corps of statesmen, he has rendered
the emporium, both in appearance and
reputation, the equal of any of the best
known houses Of New Orleans. There is
no excuse for going or sending to the
city for goods when our town can boast
such houses as that of NJ. Israel & Co.
