ASCENSION, Sept. %, 1879.
Friday was sad day in our midst.
Our beloved and esteemed friend Willie
F. Orcutt, manager of the Germania
plantation died at 6 in the morning from
injuries received on Thursday while en-
gagged in placing sill on the cane shed,
blown off by the late storm. Deceased
was rs years old, in the prime of life,
steady and energetic, always at his duty,
true friend with generous heart.
Your correspondent will forever relnem-
Ter him for bis assistance during the last
epidemic to his beloved wife. 1t is
mournful pleasure to me, now that he is
numbered with the dead, to know that
he was esteemed by those whose friend
ship value and that he is not forgotten
ii, his grave. Those who knew him best
respected him most, and none of us need
desire a better epitaph than this. He is
treasure laid up in a better world and
the gate through which he has passed to
peace and JOY unspeakable is left open,
SO that we in due time may follow. Oh,
that we may oil meet in that brighter
and happier world where SORROW and sin
and suffering are alike unknown.
Yours, Won MOLTKE.

The October civil and criminal term Of
the Parish Court will open on Monday.
There is considerable business on the
docket, but it is likely that little will be
done during the first week Of the term,
as the District Attorney will be in ST.
James attending District Court and
Mcssrs. r. n. Sinus and Z. n. Pugh are
delegates to the Democratic-C onserva-
tive State convention. Parish Attorney
1lsley, too, will be called away to Terre-
borne during the week, to attend to
some legal matters pending before the
courts of that parish, leaving only Messrs.
Fred. Dutfel, Paul Leche, H. S. Lang and
Edmund Maurin to keep the Parish
Judge company in his loneliness. The
second week of the term, however, will
doubtless be a busy one, as District
Court opens on the goth and attorneys
will be anxious to have all appealable
cases pending in the inferior court de-
cided previous to that date.
