night, though not very largely attended,
was a very pleasurable affair.
The steamer getty of Baton Rouge"
was afoat on the Ohio Falls On Satur-
day, andis probably out of harms way
by this time.
A handsome water-cOOler fdr the la
dies cabin of the City of Baton Rouge,
to be presented by onr citizens to the
new steamer, is on exhibition at Mr..
John Johnson's, the Third street jew
eler, who ordered the same from head
quarters.
Mrs. Ameline Gil, relict OF the late
William Gil, ST., died in Opdlousas on
the 10Th inst. The good lady was well
known in this community, where she
had led an exemplary life for many
years. We tender our earnest sympathy
to her many relatives and frlehds.
A Commandery Of Knights Templar is
soon to be instituted in Baton Rouge.
We are informed that the Masonic LOdg-
es of this and adjacent parishes will
furnish large membership I'd the Com

tions of the gallant Knights be more
than fulfilled.
Farmerville Gazette: The CAPITOL
IAN is not satisfied with the dali for the
Extra Session to be held at NEW Orleans.
1t maintains that Baton Rouge is the on
ly legal place, being the capital of the
State, where the Legislature Gan assem-
BILE. Here comes another question for
our very able Supreme Court to mix
with, and gain undying renoNn.
The "Wizard Oil Combination" under
management Of DR.. w. Fl. Hunt, arrived
in our city on Sunday by boat from st.
Louis, and will during their stay favor
the citizens with open air cOnperts every
day and evening. Their repertoire of
music is large, and they are endorsed by
the public and press throughout the
country. The turnout IS a peculiarly
attractive one, consisting Of four pure
white Spanish mules and fire carriage.
Don't fail, both to see and hear them.
Due notice will be given of their first
appearance
The excursion Of last Sunday, to New
Orleans, per the Pacific Railroad, was a
complete success. Over two hundred
excurslonsts left this city att A. NJ. All
the way down their numbers were in
creased till every available seat was
filed in the nine coaches constituting
the train, which reached the city at
r.. NJ. But sixteen Baton ROupeans were
aboard at p. NJ, on the return trip
the remainder having stayed over to see
all that was to be seen and to enjoy all
that was to be enjoyed. The company
will doubtless treat our people to more
Of these pleasure trips.
Independence Fire Company No. 2,
met last night and decided to give a
grand ball on Thursday night December
22d, prox. A committee of arrange
ments was appointed with full power to
act for the company. We are sure that |
no pains will be spared to reader the af-
fair equal to the most brilliant hereto
fore given by our fremen. This gallant
has need to replenish its treas
ury, and we doubt not that our citizens
will extend generous support to the
brave young men who "cope down on
the brakes"swith so much effect at every !
fire, 1t will be cheering sight to wit
ness another of those orderly and popu-
lar ''F'iremen's Ball.

Knights of Pythias, of this city, intend
the weather permitting) to visit their
brethren of Bayou Sara Lodge this even
ing, by special invitation, on the occa-
sion of the initiation of some candidates
for the knighthood. We are happy to
state that Capital Lodge is steadily in-
creasing its membership, with men of
and character in our communi-
ty. An endowment section has been or
ganizsd, through whose beneficial ef-
fects the loved ones whom the Knights
will leave behind them, will be saved
from want and penury. Mr.. b. Feibel-
man, the we'll known dry goods mer-
chant, was, on last Saturday, duly adj
vanced to the second rank.
