Sincerely do we congratulate both par

in the silken bonds Of wedlock. Friend
Dick has won charming wife, whose
sweet disposition, modesty and personal
attractions have made her a favorite with
all who enjoy the pleasure of her friend
ship and acquaintance; and she has Sc
cured husband in every way worthy OF
her-a true hearted, steady, talented and
energetic young man, who will make bis
mark in the world by the force OF ability
and perseverance,, while laggards with
better opportunities than his will falter
aud fall by the wayside. To bride and
groom the CHIEF extends heartiest felic-
itations, and hopes they will live to
green old age and never have cause to
| regret the important event in their lives
which was SO happily contaminated last
! Thursday evening.

POLICE JURY.-An adjourned meeting
of this body was held at the Courthouse
OIL Tuesday, and for the first time in
number of months all the members
were on hand save one-Mr. harmon of
New River; and his absence was entire
ly excusable, by reason Of tho great dis
lance Of his residence and the fearful
state Of the intervening roads. After an
animated discussion OH the subject of
license imposts and collections, tho Ii
cense ordinance of 1880 was adopted for
the current year. Some members desired
to cut down parish licenses to one-half
those levied by the State, but in view of
the effort that will be made to wipe
out all the indebtedness of the parish
this year-an undertaking that will re-
quiro considerable surplus Of revenues
over current expenscs-it was decided to
again impose parochial license tax
equal to that Of the State. Other bust
ness of Importance was transacted, with
which our readers will be made ac-
auainted next week, the unusual length

The comelier and better half OF the ed
itor of the CHIEF was so kindly surprised
by a number of friends upon the occasion
Of her birthday anniversary last Sunday
that we have concluded to assist her IN
expressing Acknowledgements by a local
item. Mrs Bentley's mother sent her
from New Orleans fine pound cake; Mr..
and Mrs, Solomon echonberg sent two
splendid jelly cakes, supplemented by a
teuderloin steak from Mr.. Schonberg's
new stall in the Market-House, which
was the finest piece of meat we ever OBJ
tanned from that building; and Messrs.
Donlon g. Barrera Of the St. Charles Ho-
tel sent with their compliments two
pretty specimens Of the pastry cooks art,
thanked by bottle of Krug on ice. Inc
presents were highly appreciated out
the kind wishes which accompanied them
proved still more welcome. Mrs. Bentley
desires her friends to feel assured that
she is grateful for their remembrance.

We have neglected to mention that
Capt DE Jones, Deputy Sheriff and Tax
Collector, effected his annual settlement
with the State Auditor and Treasurer
promptly and satisfactorily. Including
amounts received since the publication
of our statement two weeks ago, the ag-
qrepatc collection of taxes and licenses
since last Juno exceeds $4,000. Capt.
Jones received the significant informa-
ton that no delinquent list was wanted,
it being tho duty Of the Collector to seize
and sell the property Of all delinquents
and thus enforce the payment Of all taxes
due tho State and parish. There are yet
a very large number Of property owners
in Ascension--p probably over 150O-who
have not paid their taxes, and there will
be a terrible shaking of dry bones among
them when the Sheriff begins his seizures,
as he will shortly do. The CHIEF has
frequently called attention to the very
stringent nature Of the laws now in
vogue to enforce payment Of taxes, and
there will soon be very large number
Of people i'll this parish who will regret
that they did not act upon our warnings
and settle tlscir taxes before penalties
and costs of seizure accrued.
