We were favored yesterday with a visit
from Messrs. VIM. King and 0. A. Bullion,
two prominent and sterling citizens of
the eighth ward, whom we are always
glad to greet as genial gentlemen and
valued friends. They had 40 news of
special interest from their neighborhood
to report. Mr.. Bulliou-"Doc," his
friends call him-returned to Ascension
from St. Landry last summer and built y
store at Hampton's ferry, opposite Hope
Villa OH Bayou Manchac, whore he is
doing a good business. Mr.. King has been
drawn on the jury for the February term
of District Court, and although very near
the age which entities q man to claim
exemption from jury service, he will not
seek to evade this duty Of citizenship,
particularly as this is the first time he
has ever bsen called upon to perform it..
This reminds US that another old citizen
of our parish, Mr.. Sosthene Braud of the
seventh ward, finds his name upon the
jury list for the first time in his life.
Messrs. King and Braul belong to the
classof old men usually designated hale
and hearty"-though advanced in years
they have not lost the vigor or spirit of
earlier manhood, physically or intellect
ually. Two better jurors could not he
found in tho parish.

Mr.. A. Roch, who has for several years
kept store at the corner of Railroad Av-
enue and Claiborne street, in the build
ing owned by Mrs. Boudreaux, has re-
moved to tho corner of Attakapas and
Chctimaches streets, opposite the Court
House, where lie has oponeda very neat
and attractive store, containing full
line of staple and fancy groceries, sup
plemonted by crockery, wines, liquors,
tobacco and all the goods usually to be
found in such establishments. Mr.. Roch
is polite, obliging and experienced gro
Ger, who knows how to keep store, and
his goods and prices will always compare
favorably with those Of ether dealers, as
all who deal with him will cheerfully
bear witness.

HUNrLEY's DRAMATIC TROUPE,

HUNTLEY'S DRAMATIC TROUPE.
From the Brookhayen, Miss, Free Press
of the 10th inst, we copy the following com
plimentary reference to the Huntlcy ORA
matte Company which will begin seven
nights engagement at Phenix Hall in this
town next Monday evening:
For the past week our citizens have been
treated to the opportunity Of witnessing the
performances given here by the above
troupe. On last Monday night the curtain
rose with the popular play Of g Matrimony,
or Lite at Long Branch;" on Tuesday,
streets Of New York" and on Wednesday
night they closed their engagement here
with the great legendary drama entitled,
" Rip Van Wrinkle" The growing popular
ity of this troupe was evidenced by our
people who attended the performances each
night and their numbers. Their plays as
now produced are, beyond all doubt, artist
ically considered, some of the neatest, most
natural and effective and affecting plays
seen on our boards for a long time. We
have spoken at some length of the merits Of
this troupe and have yet to find one who
does not Justify the encomiums paid it. This
is Mr. Hnntleys first appearance in Brook
haven, and we hope that he may soon return.
Among the leading artists in the troupe are
few characters equally well defined and
each contributing their share TO the action
Of the play and the pleasure Of the audience,
who deserve especial mention, but our space
is too short to allow us to do justice.

There is an ordinance which prohibits
the discharge of firearms within the
corporate limits Of the town, but it seems
to be more honored IN the breach than
in the observance. Last Sunday MORN
ing, as little frankie Walker, son of Mr..
Baptiste Walker, was walking along St.
Patrick street on tho way from his
fathers house to the market, he was
struck in the left leg near the ankle by
several No. shot fired from o shotgun
by some person unknown. The boy was
not seriously injured, but this luckily
chance is no palliation Of the gross
rscklessness and violation of law on the
part of the individual who fired the gun.
The promiscuous discharge of firearms
in this town, particularly at night, is
long standing aud growing evil, and a
determined effort ought to be made to
eradicate it. 1t is the duty of every
good citizen to cooperate with tho
authorities in securing the detection
and punishment of all who are guilty Of
this pernicious practice, which is not
only wanton disturbance of the peace
but is dangerous to life and limb.
