The steamer st. Mary, under command
Of Capt. Max Blanchard, made the first
trip Of the season down Bayou Lafourche
this week, entering the bayou on We'd
nesday and coming out again last eve
ming. 1t would be great advantage to
the people, and especially the planters
of the Lafourche section if the early rise
in the waters of tho bayou shall con-
tinue, affording them the unusual advan.
tage of steamboat navigation during the
sugar-making season. There is not. a
sufficient depth Of water as yet to war
rant the Assumption or Belle Of the Coast
in following the lead Of the light draught
st. Mary.

One Of the follow bolts in the cylinder OF
the engine loosened, breaking the follow
and one Of the cylinder rings and bend

CINE was running slowly, under light
head of steam and the mishap occurred
at moment when the least damage
could result.
On Thursday Mr.. Robt. Chapman, FORE
man Of the mill, took the injured ma
chinery to New Orleans on the steamer
Scudder, whore it will!be repaired at once.

| PLANTATION ITEMs.-The sugar-houset
on the st. Emma and Palo Alto planta.
tons, on the right bank of the Bayou
Lafourche, in this parish, fred up on
Monday last and the work of grinding
| the seasons cane crop was begun. These
are both large, fine places and will prob
ably make as much sugar as any other
two plantations in Ascension. A break
down occurred at the st. Emma on Thurs
day, one of the boilers having through
some cause we have not ascertained be-
come unservioeable. Tho damage will
be repaired as speedily as possible.
Fire was raised in the sugar-house Of
Mccall Bros Evan Hall place on Thurs
day. We understand that the juice from
the cane Of the adjofning Richard Mccall
place will be conveyed by pipes to the
sugar-house of Evan Hall and there man
ufaotured into sugar.
Mr.. James Teller intends to raise FIRE
at his sugar-house on Monday. There is
an abundance Of labor on his place, a.
on most Of the others in the parish, and
the talk Of . strike doesn't bother Mr..
Teller. He recently discharged three Of
his regular hands, but they begged so
hard to be taken back that his kind
heart relented and the men were re-em.
ployed.
Mr.. Ben. Gibson has given several of
his regular hands leave of absence 90
that they can obtain employment for
the rolling season at the Kock place on
Bayou Lafourche, where there is large
crop Of cane and at least two months
grinding in prospect. Mr.. Gibson has
an abundance of labor and his hands
take no stock in the strike farce.
Mcssrs. Kenner & Brent will grind the
crops of their Ashland, Bowden and
Texas places ct the Bowden sugar-house
and will net raise fro at Ashland.
Only three Of the f7e sugar-houses at
the group Of Burnside plantations in the
fifth ward will be operated this season,
viz: those of the Riverton, Clarke and
Orange Grove places. The crop Of the
Donaldson place will be ground at Clark,
aud that of the Conway at Orange Grove.
There will be no grinding at the Burn
side New Hope place in the first ward,
all tho cane on the plantation being
needed as seed for next seasons crop.
What little cane is available for grind
ing on the Citizens' Bank or Wallis
place, now belonging to Messrs. Lemann
s. Hanson, will be manufactured into
sugar at their Peytavin sugar-house.
Grinding will begin on number of
places during the coming week, but the
work will not be In general progress
throughout the parish until about the
18th Of November.
