Marksvilte Review: The small fry of
Marlsville, usually denomlnated the
"kids" had their usual Mardi Gras fun
last Tuesday. Quite number of them
were masked. The crowd of urchins
followed in the wake of the maskers
and made the welkin ring with their
merry shouts. The only occurrence that
marred the pleasure of the day, was the
cutting of young Alfred Bernes, son Of
our worthy townsmm Mr.. Leopold
Bernes. Young Bernes WAS cut by a
colored boy, Abel Sylvan. We are not
prepared to give the particulars of the
difficulty. Sylvan was lodged in Jail
and still has his quarters there.

TO the Honorable the Mayor and Members OF

GENTLEMEN - Your Committee to
whom was referred the petition Of the
Parish School Board asking for use OF
Academy Hall &c, beg leave to report
unfdvorably for the following reasons:
First. 1t is probable that during the
early future Commuters OF conference on
railroad and other matters viii be re-
puired to meet vt the Mayors office and
the rooms proposed to be given in ex'
change will be quite inadequate for that
purpose and for the purpose of being
used for the Mayors Court and the Of
fees Of the Administrator of Finance
and Auditor.
Secondly. 1t appears to lis that it
would be more reasonable TO apply the
funds proposed to be given by the par
ISL, to the repairs Of the School House,
originally built for school purposes (and
which are now being allowed to 90 to
decay for want of repairs instead of re-
pairing the old clerks Offices as com
