ring, whose name is rs familiar ~ house,
hold words throughout the length and
breadth Of our land, and no place more 10
than in Donaldsonville, is advertised to
lecture at Phoenix Hall, Monday eve
ming, the 29th inst. For, be it known,
that Dan has sbandon,led his old pro-
fession and convivial habits, and now
upon the lecture platform depicts to
his friends, the American people, tho
virtues Of temperance, religion and mo-
rality. His achievements in the rostrum
are every where applauded by the press,
and it may we'll he supposed that the ex-
periences of his long and busy life IN the
occupations Of clown and Snowman have
stored his mind with much valuable ma
terial for an attractive discourse. He is
said to blend eloqnence, wisdom aud hu-
NOR in IN admirable manner, interspers-
ing e1positions Of the leading principles
Of his new departure with side-splitting
selections from an incxhaustible fund of
anecdotes founded npon incidents in his
own eveDtful career.

EDITOR CHIEF
Since the first Of the month, rainy and
djsagreeable weather has prevailed, with
the exception Of few days. The fields
are all flooded. Where lands are low and
minus good bitches, and provided with
draining machines Of insufficient power,
or none at al, It viii leave tho planted
canes TINT are not yet up, in . critical
condition, while those already mp may
escape without any serious damage. Tbs
rattoons are doing we'll amongst the
grasses that are growing rapidly during
this wet spell. Many acres Of rattoons
are yet left nndug, but on account Of the
warmth and moistness Of the ground the
young plants come up without difficulty.
Any further work, excepting thorough
wedding, may for the present be dis
pensed with. As soon - this incessant
wet ceases, there will be plenty of work
every where for every body-plowing,
hoeing, wedding, and corn to plant in
dead earnest, for as yet only small
acreage has been planted, and that may
have to be replanted. The rainy days
having afforded more holidays than nee
essary, no one should be 10th when sun
shine and = serene sky return, to pitch
in to work with good spirit and make
up for lost time.
Mr.. H. +. Duffel will cultivate rico on
a part Of the Woodstock plantation, and
If the river holds up the present stage of
water, he will undoubtedly have good
thing of his enterprise. ~.
The mail service is, thus far, giving
satisfaction; the steamers are on time
and exchanges of rails regular. That
this may continue, il the wish of every
one.

letting out jobs nf street work at auction,
to the lowest bidders is working like q
charm, and the prospect is that under
the operations Of this system all the
streets Of the town will be overhanlel
and put in good order for sum aggre-
eating not more than $3.50 or $4OO. Last
Saturday the Mayor sold the contracts
for cleaning Mississippi street, Railroad
Avenue and Claiborne Canal, according
to advertisement. Bidders were nnmer-
GUS and competition was lively. Frank
Martinez received Mississippi street for
$40 and has Iabo.ers at work performing
the job in rapid time and good style.
Railroad Avenue was awarded to Au-
gnstin Victor for $15 50. Work is pro-
crossing on this thoroughfare, but the
specifications Of the contract arc not be-
ing strictly adhered to, and the con-
tractor has been been SO notified by the
Mayor. 1t should be said, however, that
the shortcoming is not due to any lack
of good will OF honest intention, hut
arises entirely from unfamiliarity with
the exact character Of work required.
The Claiborne Canal job was knocked
down to Edward London for SIG SO, and
be will finish the work to day in salts
factory manner. To-day the Mayor will
offer ut auction the jobs Of cleaning the
remaining eleven streets of the town
excluding st. Vincent's and the street
alongside the railroad-and the bidding
will doubtless be A. spirited a. at the
first sale. Calculating the fourteen
streets at $le apiece-which is the aver
age amount bid for each Of the first three
jobs-the total cost Of the work will be
1852. Nine years ago the town paid
something like $4,000 for similar work,
and in order that means might be had
for meeting the obligation, the CONSOLE
tiated debt Of $4,000, which was being
reduced at the rate Of $500 yearly. was
Erpuul0tcu tSuu pay IuOuto VI UUtu IuCCleSG
and principal suspended. As conse-
qnence the town ID now menaced by q
debt exceeding $4,000, which would
have been almost II not entirely extin-
gnishsd by this time had the folly Of re-
pudiation been avoided. 1t will he q
lasting regret with us that the CHIEF,
then a newcomer and . stranger in the
community, gnided by the misrepresen-
tatious Of trusted friends whose unworth-
mess was afterwards exposed, gave it's
sanction to this unwise action, by which
the letter Of the law was invoked to de-
stroy its spirit and indict injustice upon
honest creditors Of the corporation. But
of this subject more anon. We didn't
start out to discnss the municipal debt
problem now pending before the Supreme
Court, but only to congratulate the au-
thorities and citizens Of the town on the
favorable terms upon which the work of
cleaning and repairing the streets has
been provided for.
