pendent Brass Band, jumped into q
couple Of large cane carts kindly loaned
them by Messrs. Hanson e. Lemann and

led by barouche containing Col. A. ].
Bache mir., Capt. DE. Jones, Lieuts. La
fargue and Earllart and Mr.. James Angus
tin, reporter for the New Orleans Demo
crat. The band furnished an abundance
of lively music on the way down and
back, and the party verbally aroused
the natives" along the route. Arrived
at Mr.. Cotisld's beautiful home, the visi-
tors were cordially welcomed, aud after
brief address by Capt. Jones, serenade
by the band and display of drill on the
spacious grounds in front Of the residence
the Battery and its friends were invited
in to partake of refreshments provided
for the occasion, consisting Of several
fine brands of liquors, delicious cham
payne punch and cakes galore, to which
ample justice was done. Toasts to the
health Of tile princely host and his fair
lady, and other appropriate subjects,
were quafed with enthusiasm. After a
most agreeable halfhour spont IN social
converse, tho Battery reformed in line,
the band gave = parting air, and. the
welcome intruders took their leave. Get
ting again into their vehicles, the party
were quickly conveyed back as far as the
hospitable residence of the Gaulin broth
ers and their estimable relative Mr.. Cam
lille Mollere, where delightful hour was
spent, partaking Of refreshments, dane
ing and chatting. The gentlemen and
ladies of the house entertained their
guests i'll their usual perfect manner and
all regretted the arrival of the time to
depart. The Battery marched back from
Gaudin's, the carts having been sent
home from there. Arrived at the Lee
Hotel the musicians and soldiers took a
parting smile upon the invitation of
Lieuts. klopman and Lafargue, and then
dispersed after having spent ansafteruoon
aud evening of the most unalloyed pleas
are to all concerned. We should not
close this item without at least q passing
reference to Mr.. James Teller and LADY,.
Messrs. Willie III. and Roht. Davis and
their charming sisters, Mrs. Shanks and
Miss Davis, for tho part they took in as
sisting Mr.. and Mrs. CofeId to receive
and entertain the visitors at Point Heu-

A STR1KE.-The 1aborers upon Tu-
reaud's Brnl6 plantation, in the lower
part Of this parish, and on Mrs Jacobsha-
gems Union plantation in the upper part
of st. james, struck for higher wages
during the early part of the week, de-
handing seyenty-fve cents per day and
rations. There has been no interruption
Of work OH Tureaud's front place, nor
was there any indication up to yester-
day, that the laborers of the Burnside OF
other neighboring places would partici-
pate in the strike. Yesterday morning,
however, the hands OIL Burnside's
Conway and Orange Grove places refused
to turn out to work when the bells rang,
and about 10 o'clock they formed /. gang,
all mounted on horses, aud marched
two-by-two over to the Clark, Donald
son and Riverton places and compelled
| the laborers there to suspend work un-
der pain of violence should they refuse
to comply with the demand. Affidavits
will be made against the leaders of the
movement this morning and it is to be
Hoped the Sheriff will meet with mo sop-
position i'll executing any warrants that
may be placed in his hands, in order
that our parish may not become the
scene of such displays of lawlessness as
attended the strikes in parishes below
us. 1t is important that our laboring
classes should have q correct apprecia-
ton of their rights and privileges and of
the restriction placed thereon by the
laws Of the land. Every man has right
to estimate the value of his own labor,
and to work, or refuse to, work for any
rate Of compensation it pleases him to
accept or reject, and he is likewise privi-
legged to induce Others, by noral slasion,
to adopt his way Of thinking; but the
moment he employs threats or violence
for this purpose, he places himsef ont
side the pale of the law, violates rights
co-equal with his own and becomes
veritable bulltlozer."

A North Louisiana paper says:
Recently in Donaldsonville two Da-
goes got into II rumpus about woman,
and shot each other SO badly that both
are expected to die from the wounds. j.
Only one of the men was dangefonsly
wounded, and lie has since recovered
and from information we have but re-
Gently received, it appears that one. q
the injured parties was not coleefnetlsiti
the quarrel ut all, but that the principal
shootist was the husband of the woman
involved, WHO escaped unhurt and left
for parts unknown. Avery peculiar fea-
ture Of this affair is that no arrests have
been made in connection with it, the ex-
c,ise being that none Of the partidpants
or bystanders are willing to testify in r.
lation to the particulars Of the affray.

six Rules for Marketing.

Al. Streeter, of New Windsor,
H., says:
The future market price Of farm
products is beyond human "''rnla-
ton aud the market Often ''p.
points ;bc greatest numbers. Sal,
the writer has met with considerable
success by observing the following
rules:
When stock is fully ripe and ready
for the market, and the market fair,
II is better 10 sell than to hold for a
rise.
VIII. the market is high, and the
stock is not ready, sell for future de-
livery to responsible buyer; three
times on; of four it will beat IL buy
er.
When the market is low, make no
contracts, and he slow to sell, be-
cause q rise IN piice often comes
when least expected; in fact, high
prices most always come unexpected
ly.
When people in general say cattle,
or hogs, or corn. or wheat, Will be
high next wilter. or next year, they
are almost sure to be disappointed,
because they 60 to work with one
accord to make it cheaper by increas-
ing :he production.
Wien tie price Of any farm ulo-
duets has iun high for some time and
begin to drop other things and go
for the product that has the money
in it now, then is the time for the
successful farmer to let that product
alone.
When a leading article, say hogs,
runs low for long time, the farm
ers begin to stop raising them be-
cause it won't pay, then is the time
to raise pigs.
The writer remembered one year
when corn was scarce and high, and
hogs we've low, and the farmers want
ed to SCI their shoates at any price
they could get. He bought up lot
OF them .or about one dollar head /;
ID them little corn, and summered
.uem mostly on pasture, and in nine
..ouths from the time they were
bought, sold them for twenty dollars
a bead-nincteen hmdred per cent.
