The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1880-01-10

We were surprised and delighted, .
couple Of weeks age, to receive q call
from our warm-hearted friend J. Elphege
LeBlanc, Esq, who was down on flying
grip from St. Landry to give his legion
of friends in this seetien the treat Of q
sight at his genial face. Elphege is aaorc
than pleased with his position as mana
ger of Messrs. Bloch Bros. fine sugar
plantation in St. Landry, and has every
reason to believe that his services have
proven satisfactory to bis employers.
This is undoubtedly the case, as those
gentlemen have not only re-engaged him
for 1880, but at the close of the recent
grinding season presented him with a
splendid turnout consisting Of a horse,
buggy and harness complete, brand new
and as good as penev could buy. Truly,
friend Elphegc's lines have fallen in
pleasant places, and we know of 10 one
who is more deserving than he OF tue
choicest favors which good fortune can
l,eStoW.

CUTTING AFFRAY.-On Saturday before
last, 1.-The 9th Of December, at o'clock
in the evening, an ARRAY occurred at Pr
| cards store, in ,the.eighth ward, which
resulted in Gilbert Young being seriously
cut by Edward Johns and Anthony Mox-
". It appears that the hands employed
upon the Dumini LIE Blanc plantation
during the grinding season were cele-
brating the close Of their labors by a
general frolic and dag-raising, and Gill
bert Young was carrying the colors at
the head Of the procession formed by the
merry.makers. Moxly and Johns, with
out any provocation or right, approached
Young and demaaded that he give up the
flag, which he refused to do, unless his
fellow laborers desired it. Young was
then assaulted and wounded by Johns
with razor and by Moxly with knife.
DR.. Bnrris was called in to attend tho
injured man, and when we received the
particulars of tho ARRAY, a few days after
it's occurrence, the doctor was said to en-
terrain doubts Of Young's recovery. We
have heard nothing of his condition dur
ing the past week, nor Of the where
abouts of his assailants, neither of whom,
we believe, have been arreste d.

MILITARY BALL.-Co6eld's Battery C
Of Donaldsonville will give its initial
entertainment in the shape Of grand
fancy dress and military ball, to occur
Thursday evening, the 22nd inst, at As
cension Hook and Ladder Hall, and We
trust, for the sake of the new company,
that the affair will prove success in
every particular. Beside desiring to
afford their friends and the invited pub
lie an opportunity for merry-making and
| wholesome enjoyment, the members of
| the Battery are anxious to raise funds
to liquidate the balance Of claims out
| standing against them for the expense of
their equipment; and the ball will afford
| the people of our community All oppor-
