Ascension Hook and Ladder Company
held its monthly meeting Monday eve
ming. The two Babcock fire extinguish-
CTS contracted for by this company are
expected to arrive here shortly. These
chemical engines can be run to q fire by
hand and only require four or five men
to handle and operate them. They have
a capacity of about sixty gallons each,
and the advantage of having pair is,
that while one is being exhausted, the
other can be charged, thus insuring q
continual stream Of the extinguishing
fluid as long as required. These engines
will he found particularly serviceable at
the beginning Of a fire, and whenever
they can he got on the ground in season,
their efficacy will be very great.

We regret to learn that our genial
friend aud popular fellow citizen, Henry
Hether, Esq, met with a painful acct
dent on Wednesday last. While en-
ployed in helping to remove portable
engine and boiler from the river bank at
the Tip Landry place, Mr.. Hethcr had
his foot caught under one of the rollers
on which the machinery was being
moved, and the roller passed completely
over his foot and ankle, bruising them
very severely. We are glad to learn,
however, that an examination has dem
onstrated that no bones are broken, and
that with good nursing Of his swollen
and inhamed member, our friend will
soon be able to resume his accustomed
ayocations. En- PEASANT, we must con
graduate him upon his favorable pros
pect for splendid rice crop on the Ian
dry place, of WHICH we understand be is
the lessee.

RAILROAD ACClDENT.-On Thursday,
as the passenger train on the New Or
leans Pacific railway was approaching
Plaqucmine, on the up-trip, the locomo-
two and baggage car jumped the track
and brought the train to sudden stand
still. Fortunately no lives were lost, no
ono was hurt by the accident, and the
locomotive and car arc said to have sus-
tanned no damage. The passengers and
mails for Baton Ronge and other points
above the scene of the accident were
conveyed to their destination OH a con-
struction train, and the two coaches of
the passenger train which remained on
the track were brought down by the
locomotive freight train at late hour
Thursday night. Yesterday morning a
special engine went up the road, convey
ing appliances to be used in getting the
ditched engine and car back on the rails,
to do which it will probably he neccs-
sary to build track or siding complete
~ around them. The accident has
caused no suspension of travel or traffic
OH the road, and we have no doubt the
track will be clear again before this item
reaches the eyes of our readers. We
have not yet learned the cause ASST gned
for the locomotive and car leaving the
rails.

A number Of inquiries having been
made OH the subject, it is definitely an
nounced by Mr.. NJ. r. Spelman, general
freight and ticket agent of the N. 0. Pa
cific railway, that no passengers will be
taken from Donaldsonville or any other
way station, on the Baton Rouge cxcur-
sion train tomorrow. Mr.. Spelman says
all the company's available coaches will
be oyercrowded at New Orleans and that
there will be no room OIL tho train after
leaving that city. We are told that the
railroad company has accommodations
for only about 500 passengers, whereas
more than 1900 tickets for to-morrow's
excursion have already been sold.
