Another cycle of twelve months has rolled

The last year has b9on one fraught with

of erect comfortable dwellings, improve

SUGAR SQuIBs.-A reader Of the CHIEF
favors us with the following statement
Of the crops made on the Pellico aud Ar
lington places in the first ward:
E. Bujors PeIlico place 21o hhds- from
rs acres of plant and IS acres stnbble
cane.
]. E. st. Martins Arlington place, 81
hhds. from 80 acres of plant and 1e4
acres of stnbble; hogsheats averaging
1115 pounds each.
Mr.. Jno.. I. Nolan, Jr., expects to fin
ish grinding to-day, with q total OF
about 300 hhds.
Mr.. J. G. Cofeld was about through
Thursday, and ifhe hasn't made million
pounds of sugar, he has come SO close to
that figure there is no use talking of the
difference.
Prolonged footing Of sngar-house
whistles yesterday proclaimed the close
of grinding OF two plantations near
Donaldsonville. We have not yet heard
which places the music came from.
Some planters find it necessary to cut
off several of the top joints Of their cane
on account of injury inflicted upon the
stalk by the recent freezes.

Tho Assumption Pioneer recently ia

says:
The proposed fair and concert Of Donald
sonville Phoenix Fire Company, heretofore
announced to take place on Saturday and
Saturday and Sunday. % and @ proximo.
We regard this as a wise movement on the
part of our gallant friends, as majority OF
our population usually prefer to enjoy
Christmas at home, especially in this cold,
muddy weather. Can not our boys make
an excursion to the proposed entertain,
ment to be given by Phoenix, provided free
transportation is offered by some Of the

Dan Rice's Floating Opera-House and
Museum again visited Donaldsonville
Wednesday, and the performance that
evening was witnessed by large audi
ence. The company included several
new artists, chief among them Mons.
Alphonse, splendid perforner on the
slack wire, and the programme varied
considerably from that of The previous
exhibition at this town. The audience
was apparently we'll pleased with the
entertainment, and Uncle Dan cor al
ways count upon good "houses " when
his New Departure show returns to DON
which, by the way, it is
announced to do next month, probably
inst before Martli Gras. The veteran
manager contemplates enlarging his
show materially and expresses deter

He Still Lives.

Some years ago DR.. Il. V. Pierce of the
Worlds Dispensary and Inyalids' Hotel Of
Buffalo, N. Y, and London, was sent for to
examine terrible disease Of the kneejoint,
resulting in liberation and extensive slough
ing of the bone and tissues. The mans life
had been despaired Of by the previous at
tendants. Amputation at the thigh was
promptly decided upon and skillfully per
formed BY DR.. Pierce, and as after treat
ment to purify the blood and prevent a re-
currence of the nlalady the doctors Golden
Medical Discovery was freely prescribed.
The mars system was thoroughly purified
and strengthened, he rapidly gained his
health, the stump healing nicely, and he is
to-day happy man. This case was among
the first in which this wonderful blood-pur-
ifier was tested. 1t has since manifested
its wonderful power over the worst scrofu-
lous and other blood diseases. Taken for a
time it so purifies and strengthens the sys-
tenn as to strongly fortify it against the en-
croachments Of diseases. Sold by druggists.
Vaudeville, Mich, Feb. Is, 1879.
Hon r. v. PIERCE:
Dear Sri would say that have sold
your medicines for seven years. The Golden
Medical Discovery is tho best cough remedy
I have eyer used and in every case where
used it in my family for my children. 1t
cures their colds and coughs in dsy or
two. Ny wife has used it several times
when down sick. 1t invariably gives i'm
mediate relief. Its sale increases daily.

ThOrntOn's circus, which was adver-
tised to appear here on Monday last,
failed to come to time, on account of
financial difficulties in which the concern
became involved at New Orleans Owing
to the bad weather which has prevailed
in this State during the past three
months, the proprietor of the show, Mr..
VIM. T. Thornton, has lost considerable
money on his venture, one item in the
list Of the seasons drawbacks being an
enforced detention Of six weeks or more
at Alexandria by reason of the impassa-
BILE condition Of the roads and the neces-
sity for recuperating the horses. Mr..
Thornton went to Cincinnati and char
tered steamboat, upon which his show
embarked, but meeting with poor sue
cess and continuation Of unfa. orable
weather on his way down tho river, he
sold out on reaching New Orleans and
skipped off to his home in Indiana, leav-
ing his employees in the lurch, with a
large amount of back wages unpaid and
most of them in penniless condition.
The canvas and other appurtenances of
the show have been seized on writs of
attachment sued out by some Of the
performers, but it is reported that the
party who purchased the concern from
Thornton will endeayor to settle the in
debtedness by compromise and reorgan-
ize the circus for a tour through the La
fourche and Teche regions and up the
Mississippi. While the action of Mr..
Thornton in deserving his employees was
,lisreputable and inexcusable-as he is
said to possess ample means to settle all
claims against hint is pleasure to
us to say that no discledit attaches in
connection with the affair to Mr. Glenn
Davis, agent Of the show, who was swim

FIREMEN's BALL--The fremen's ball
at the Ascension Hook and Ladder Com
pany's elegant hall, last Saturday night,
may be fifty designated the social sue
cess of the season. The weather was
propitious-just cool enough to make
dancing pleasant-a large and brilliant
assembly of guests comfortably filled the
hall, the music was oil that could be de-
sired, the supper was the best we have
known to have been supplied upon such
an occasion in Donaldsonville, and, best
of all, the guests seemed all in happy
frame of mind and entered into the en-
ioyment of the dance and social converse
that did not flag until physical Gu
ergies were well nigh exhausted and the
hour of dawn was close at hand. To the
committee Of arrangements, consisting
of Messrs. Myer Lemann, A. ]. Bethan-
court and John P. Forcha, aided by the
other committees by them designated to
assist in the conduct Of the entertain
ment, great credit is due for the admira-
bic manner in which they discharged
their duties. The ball was credit to
the Hook and Ladder Company and
source Of hearty enjoyment to the large
tIlrong of ladies and gentlemen who hon
ored the occasion by their presence. If
the country roads leading to town had
been in good condition, the capacity of
the hall would not have been sufficient
to accommodate the large assembly that
would have congregated.

Our New Orleans correspondent refers
at length TO the reported purchase Of the
Donaldsonvilie railroad by Jay Gould,
and depicts in graphic terms the benefit
that would accrue to our town and sec
ton from the completion Of the New Or
leans Pacific with the Donaldsonyille
road as its terminal link.
We fully concur in the views expressed
by our correspondent, but regret to say
that the rnmored transfer Of the road has
not yet been accomplished.
Negotiations looking to that end are
progressing, however, and we hope to
have the pleasure Of recording their sue
cessful conclusion in our next issue, or
soon thereafter. The valuation of the
property is SAID to bs the only point Of
difference between the Pacific and Nor
gan people, the latter holding their road
at figure that is deemed disproportion-
ate to its value and cost.
