Some time ago Mr.. Henry Jones Of
Smoke Bend, father Of Sheriff Jones,
while cutting wood on the batture in the
vicinity Of his hmr, in company with
several neighbors, had his attention at
tracted, to the prov Of skiff protrud-
ing from the ground near the waters
edge. Assisted by his companions, he
proceeded to remove the accumulated
sand which had almost hidden the skiff
from view, and to his establishment
discovered that the boat was filled
with quantity Of copper pipe Of yari-
GUS sizes, cut into short pieoss to facili-
tate ito transportation. A number Of
these pieces were taken out, but before
half the entire load had been thus re-
moved, the skiff unexpectedly slid off
into deep water and the remainder Of its
contents could not be secured. No doubt
this pipe had been purloiued by some Of
the thieves who despoiled several sugar
houses Of such property in this parish
and Iberville several years ago, but
whether the skiff sunk accidentally from
being overladen or was scuttled to avoid
detection, can only be surmised.

where he and his interesting family

the hearts of Mrs. Younger and her ex-
cellent husband, and after eight years of
sbsence they turn towards it again with
auch 4 desire to see its familiar scenes

taken her departure for New Orleans,
with the intention Of completing her
education in one Of the best boarding
schools and musical institutes Of that

OF WILLIAM A. BABIN, who died at his

have completed his studies and had his ar
duous lxbors crowned with the success of
receiving physiciaD's diploma. But Nh,

blasted, blighted and despoiled in it's incipi-
ency. Ard the coro1etion of grandeur he
expected to win here, will be superseded by
that Of celestial glory in the gorgeous IT blue

Our correspondent, Epsilon Mn, else
where refers to the arrest in New Orleans
Of Thomas Bradford, one Of the princi-
pals il the shooting atfray at Guedry's
store, parish Of Assumption, on the 4th
Of September, that eliminated in the
mortal wounding of Mr.. J. Duffossat Cue
dry, who died shortly afterwards, and
the serious wounding Of Mr.. Alonzo La
croix, who subsequently recovered. Since
the capture of Bradford we have been
furnished by friends Of the prisoner with
q written abstract of the testimony adj
duced at the inquest held by the Coroner
Of Assumption parish, DR.. Thos. B. Pugh,
on the 9TH of September, which goes to
show that Guedry was shot by Antoine
Gomez, now fugitive from Justice, while
Bradford shot Alonzo with pistol
placed in his hands during the ARRAY by
Marius Melancon. Bradford and his
friends have claimed that he was as
saulted without provocation both by
Guedry and Alonzo, but eye witnesses
testify that while Alonzo was trying to
prevent Gomez from shooting Guedry
again, Bradford advanced and shot Alon-
20 in the back. There is nothing in the
testimony to indicate any assault by
Alonzo upon Bradford, nor does it appear
that any words passed between them
prior to the shooting. We shall endeavor
to publish synopsis Of this testimony
in next number Of the CHIEF. Bradford
" rs conveyed to Napoleonville via Thib-
odaux, and is now confined in the As
sumption Jail awaiting judicial proceed
ings in his case.

was teamster by occupation and at the

goods to Mr.. G.. Alba's store. He was un-
der the influence Of liquor and no doubt

wheel Of the vehicle passing over his

fortunate man was about IS years Of
age, and had only recently returned
from the penitentiary, where he served

ON The war Pain.

The editor Of the Silver State is in dan
ger Of getting his scalp lifted. The Princess
Sarah Winnemucca is on the warpath. 1t
seems that lately she pressed her tansy a
little too much, and the guileless editor
announced the fact through the columns
OF this paper. The balance OF the story
is told in the Silver State Of Monday last /:
Yesterday she sent a dispatch threatening
to have the hearts blood Of the editor, and
IL she did not succeed in that, to fight him
with pistols or knives, just to show him
how a drunken woman can shoot. The
operator who telegraphed the dispatchfrom
Lovelocks, says white men wrote the dis
patch, and probably melted her to send it.
They will have an opportunity to explain
their connection with the matter, and war
rants have been issued for the arrest OF all
who are known to have been connected
with the affair. A drunken savage, who
threatens to take the life-blood Of a white
person, should be given to understand that
there is such a thing as q Jail in the com
munity.

BLOWN TO ATOMS.
Terrible Nitro.GIycerine Explos

Terrible NitrO.Glycerine Explosion.
A Bradford, Penn, dispatch says: This
morning Howard Tackett, in the employ
of the Bradford Glycerine Company, and
James Feeney, a moonlighter, started from
this city to Coleville in a two-horse sleigh,
having under the seat five twenty-pound
cans Of nitro-glycerine. Five miles south
east Of Bradford the sleigh capsized while
crossing a rut in the highway, and instantly
the terrible compound exploded. Tackett
was hurled fifty feet, n fell in the road.
The right side Of his head was crushed, his
shoulder and side shockingly mangled, his
right leg shattered to a shapeless mass and
his arm blown to atoms Feeney jumped
from the sleigh as it was going over. After
the accident he was found literally covered
with earth and ice. Just a few feet from
the scene of the explosion he was picked
up badly bruised and senseless and was
subsequently revived and conversed. The
extent of his injuries are not definitely
known. His escape was almost miracu-
lous. The horses were both killed and
the sleigh completely destroyed. An exca-
walton twenty feet in length, fifteen in width
and three in depth was made in the road
bed, the surface Of which was frozen as
hard as q stone. The fences on both sides
OF the road we're swept away like reeds
and the debris scattered for a radius Of
sixty feet. The frame house Of Charles
Seeley, fifty feet away, had the front and
roof torn away and the balance of the
building damaged by the conclusion. Mr..
Seeley, sitting in the house at the time,
was rendered senseless for a few moments,
but escaped without injury. The furni-
ture was broken and the windows, mirrors,
pictures and dishes shivered to pieces.
The farmhouse of Henry Dalleff, a heavy,
old-fashioned frame structure, three rods
away, was completely wrecked. The frame
and rafters were split, the plastering
shaken off; the windows and wall orna-
ments shattered and a great deal OF furni-
ture destroyed. Mr.. Dalleff and six
children in the central room Of the house
were rendered insensible, but not hurt,
and a barn, also, fifty feet distant, had the
side and front torn off. Henry Dallefi
was in the road twenty rods awav when
the explosion occurred, and he says the
only sensation experienced by him was that
of a rumbling of the earth. The force Of
the explosion was upward.
