When board of eminent physicians
and chemists announced the discovery
that by combining some well known
valuable remedies, the most wonderful
medicine was produced, which would
cure such wide range Of diseases that
most all other remedies could be
dispensed with, many were skeptical
but proof of its merits by actual trial
has dispelled all doubt, and to-day the
discoveries of that great medicine,
Hop Bitters, are honored and blessed

BASE BALL.-The match game between
the Burnside and Grasshoppcr club;
played last Sunday, resulted in a victory
for the lively ltoppers by a score of ID tc
6. Neither club had its fall nine out
and the interest felt in the game was
greatly modified by this circumstance
but it proved very attractive exhibi-
ton of ball tossing, nevertheless in
fact, had it not been for the bad break
in the eighth inning, when the Grass
hoppers succeeded in scoring ten runs,
it would have been one of the best, if not
the very best game ever played here.
Following is the score by innings:
Grasshoppers, 0 9 o | o / 10 Ola
Burnsides. o IL o 30 i .
These crack homo clubs will no doubt
meet again shortly, when we hope to see
each team with full complement Of
regular members, and score made that
will be worthy of mention alongside of
those of metropolitan and professional
clubs.
Tomorrow, the 22nd inst, the Grass
hoppers will play the Quicksteps of New
Orleans, who will arrive at noon Oh a
special train put on for the occasion BY
the railroad company. 1t is expected
that large crowd will accompany the
Quicksteps-the fare for the round trip
being placed at the low sum of 81 so
and the match will doubtless attract a
numerous concourse of spectators. The
excursion train will leave here at 6
o'clock tomorrow evening, reaching New
Orleans at 8.

A BRILLIANT MARRIAGE.-At the Syn
agogue of the Congregation Bikur
Chollm, in this town, on Tuesday last,
the 18th inst, Mr.. Laza1d Kahn of Gin
cinnati and Miss Coraie Lemann of Don
aldsonville were joined in the bonds
of matrimony. When the bridal party
entered the Synagogue, few moments
before 10 o'clock, the sanctuary was
crowded with the friends Of the parties,
who had gathered to witness the inter-
esting ceremony. At tho altar the offici-
ating rabbi, Rev. J. L. Leucht of the
Rampant street Synagogue, New Orleans,
stood facing the audience. The bride,
richly attired in white and looking more
beautiful than words can describe, stood
opposite the rabbi, with the tall, fine
looking bridegroom by her side. TO
the right were Mrs. Bernard Lemann
and Mr.. Jacob Lemann, sister-in- law and
father of the bride, and OH the left Mrs.
N. Israel, attended by one Of the broth
ers of the groom. After an eloquent and
appropriate address to the young couple,
intended to impress upon them the i'm
portance Of the step they were about to
take, the Rev. Mr.. Leucht performed
the marriage ceremony in accordance
with the Hebrew ritual, and pronounced
the handsome couple man and wife.
Many friends offered their congratula-
tions in the Synagogue, but majority
followed the party to tho residence of
Mr.. Bernard Lemann, where brilliant
reception was given, attended by at least
two hundred invited guests, and lasting
until II o'clock, at which time Mr.. and
Mrs. Kahn babe their relatives and
friends farewell aud proceeded to the
railroad depot, where they boarded the |
train and started upon their journey to
the home of the groom in Cincinnati.
They bore with them the fluctuations and
good wishes of host of friends, to
which we beg leave to add the sincere
hope of the CHIEF that they will live to
a green old age, realizing the greatest
possible need of happiness from the life
relationship they have assumed towards
each other, and never for a moment
having cause to regret the hour that
made them one. Miss Lemann was one
Of the most esteemed as we'll as one of
the handsomest young ladies Of our town
and parish, and the prosperous young
Western merchant who has won her for
bis own has Cause to feel proud of the
conquest. Numerous, beautiful and val
liable were the presents received by the
newly welded couple, but out of defer
ence to the wishes of friends we refrain
from publishing list of the gifts.

CoRoNER's INQUEsTs.-Dr. j. B. Van
degritf, Coroner of this parish, has held
the following view and inquests recent
~:

colorcd man aged 80 years, who fell
dead from heart disease opposite the
residence Of Capt. Bergeron, in Donald

Richard, Smoke Bend.
May 16-inquest on the body Of Isaac
Baptiste, colored boy aged 9 years and
8 months, who was drowned in Bayou
Lafoarche, at the Donaldsonvillo ferry
landing, last Sunday evening. How
the boy got into the water is not shown
by the testimony elected at the inquest,
bat it is presumed he fell in accidentally
while playing on fiatboat just above
the ferry landing. He endeavored to
swim to shore, and according to the re-
port we have received, he might have
been saved from drowning if persons III
the vicinity who saw him Immediately
after he fell into the water had made an
effort to render him assistance. The
body was recovered Monday forenoon,
after several cannon shots had been fred
across the water. The hoy was an only
sou Of Eugene Baptiste, colored citizen
Of Donaldsonville, and his parents were
almost overcome with grief at tue sad
accident.

A Social SCCCEsS.-The universal
opinion among all the many participants
IS, that the fancy dress ball given at
Phoenix Hall, last Tuesday night, under
the auspices of the Young Mems Hebrew
Association Of D0naldsonville, was one
OF the most brilliant and successful af-
fairs Of the kind that has ever taken
place i'll this town. The large hall was
comfortably crowded with fashionable
and merry concourse of pleasure seekers,
and from 10 o'clock in the evening until
4 next morning, the scene presented in
the ball room was one Of brilliance and
animation at once attractive and inspir-
ing. A number Of rich and beautiful
toilettes were displayed by the ladies,
prominent among which were those Of
Mrs. NJ. l., Miss NJ. W., Miss NJ. p, the
Misses L. and B. NJ, Miss NJ. S., Miss b.
j., Mrs. NJ. L., and Miss B. Of Baton
Rouge. The latter was considered by
many ''the belle Of the ball." but other
beautiful and charming ladies were not
without their claims and advocates for
this distinction. The music, furnished
by the Centennial String Band, was de-
lightful, and light feet and merry hearts
did not tire Of leaping to its cadences
until the night had almost worn away
and the dawn Of another day was near
at band. The young men of the II. b. A.
were untiring in their efforts to entertain
their legion Of guests, and the smooth
ness with which the arrangements were
carried out and the hearty enjoyment
derived by all who attended the ball, at
test the gratifying success of these eff
forts. This ball has added new ]aurels
to the name Of the Young Mems Hebrew
Association.
