PLANTATION ECHOEs.-Two of the boil
ers 1t Mr.. Beirne's Ascension plantation
were found to be leaking Thursday
morning, and work va. stepped At once
until the damage could be repaired. Had
not this accident occurred grinding would
have been concluded on the Ascension
place this week. Work will Be resumed
next Tuesday aud two or three days will
sufiico to clsse up tie seasons labors.
Mrs. Il. Israel 4 Co. finished grinding
On their salsburg place, in st. James
parish, Saturday before last, and realized
yield Of 5000 pounds, m excellent
result.
+ Our friend Mr.. Michael Feely has fur
nished us the following figures showing
the weight Of two big loads Of cane
hauled to the sugar house of Mr.. Yale's
Home place. Cart No. 10 weighed at the
scales IL ,07O pounds, having 1000 pounds
Of cane net. This was = big load, but
curt No. 9 did still better and took the
blue ribbon. It's gross weight was II, 45o
pounds, tare 4100, net weight Of cane
1850 pounds. We are not versed in this
particular branch Of plantation statistics,
but our informant states that these were
two Of the largest cart loads Of cane no
ever heard OF, SO we presume they are
something extraordinary.
We learn that the report which We
published last week Of the sugar made
on the Bocago place was somewhat e1-
aggerated. Instead Of 200 hogshcads, the
sctaal yield WAS 143 hogsheads. How
ever, this was splendid crop considering
the quantity of cane ground, and the
Nessrs. Kelly are more than pleased with
the outcome.
At MIC. Cofield's magnificent Point
Houmas plantation the seasons work
was finished on Thursday and the crop
exceeds any other that has been made on
the place since the war. The yield OF
sugar foots up 1,11o,OO0 pounds. We con
graduate the estimable proprietor upon
this favorable result and hope he will
continue to make such crops for many
years to come.
The sugar crop Of Mr.. Myer Lemann's
Rodrigue place reached AIS hogsheads,
which exceeds Ill estimates made prior
to tho conclusion Of grinding. Last year
It's hogsheads were made on the place,
and $50 the year before. Mr.. Austin
Duncan, the manager of Rodrigue, is -
co]orcd man whose skill and success as q
Sugar planter are only eqnaled by his
excellent character as an individual and
a ci;;zen.
A note frou, Mr.. H. G.. Gill, agent Of
Mcssrs. Jno. Crossley & Sous, owners OF
Mt. Houmas, Riverside and Southwood
plantations in this parish, informs us
that the estimate Of one million pounds
which rumor had placed upon the crop
of the Mt. Houmas place, was exaggera-
ted. Mr.. Gill says the yield will on-
doubtedly exceed anticipations, but that
it will not reach million pounds.
On Thursday the work Of grinding
was finished at Col. BringieF's Hermit
tage place, Mr.. Beirue's Clark place and
Mcssrs. Lemsnn & Hanson's Peytavin.
Besides his own crup, Col. Bringicr took
off that of his neighbor, Widow J. 4.

Christmas was lively business day in
Donaldsonville. People from the country
focked in and crowded the stores, which

A colored man named Grant, who re-
sides in Port Barrow, was assaulted,
knocked down and severely beaten by
another colored man named Armstead,
Monday before last, on Lafourche street,
in Doualdsnnville. The weapon used by
Armstead was heavy cane. Grant re-
NAMED unconscious for some minutes
and it was at first feared that he had
been killed. The only provocation al
legged for the assault is that Grant merely
spoke to q woman with whom Armstead
is living, which threw the latter into .
violent passion. We believe Armstead
was not arrested and that no prosecution
will grow out of the aggravated assault.
