TAX SALEs.-On the fourth page of to.
days paper we publish the Sheriff's of.
fetal advertisement of the sale of all the
taxable property in this parish upon
which the taxes for the year 1880 have
not been paid. The sales will begin Oh
the 18th of April and continue daily un.
till all the property has been offered. 1t
is to the interest of every person whose
name appears in the list Of delinquents
to settle up at once, as the amount due
will be largely increased by the costs of
seizure, advertisement and sale. As a
great proportion of the delinquents are
people who can not read and do not take
the CHIEF, we suggest to our readers
that they will be doing a kindness to in
form such of their neighbors who figure
in the list that their property is adver-
tised for sale. No doubt many would
pay up their taxes if this information
was given them. The failure Of the law
to provide that the Sheriff should serve
a notice of seizure upon each delinquent
is defect that ought to be cured by the
General Assembly.

The town authorities having accepted
the proposition of Mr.. Jean Feyrier to
keep the streets and crossings in good
condition for $500 year, a contract to
that effect has been signed aud Mr.. Few
rler has begun work in a manner that
indicates his intention to fulfil the terms
OF bis agreement to the letter. Already
the drainage of several streets has been
greatly improved aud the water that
sipes through the river and bayou levees
is nearly all readily carried off, to the
decided improvement of Mississippi aud
Lafourche streets. A great many street
bridges are sadly in need of repair, but
we have no doubt the energetic contrac.
tor will soon begin work upon them.

SERIOUS AFFRAY.-Messrs f. Wa liter
blacksmith, and Louis Racke, tinsmith
citizens of Donaldsonvillo whose shops
are Oh opposite sides of Mississippi street
near the post-odice, had a difficulty We'd
ncsday evening which came near result
ing fatally. The quarrel originated
about one of Mr.. Walters children, but
we have not attempted to ascertain the
details Of the preliminary disagreement.
Racke was standing on the banquette in
front of his shop talking with neighbor,
when Walter crossed the street and as
saulted him, striking him several heavy
blows with piece of iron fashioned and
carried like slung- shot and evidently
prepared for service as weapon. Ono
of the blows was on the top Of the head,
cutting the scalp, and the others on the
body, inflicting painful but not serious
bruises. Racke grappled his assailant,
but was thrown to the ground, spraining
his ankle. Capt. DE. Jones, followed
by other bystanders, lnterfered ana Win
difficulty succeeded in Wrestling from
Walter the weapon with which he was
belaboring Racke and which was secured
to his hand or wrist by strap. Had it
not been for this interference, the affray
might have terminated in homicide, as
Walter, in his excitement, was dealing
blows without any apparent regard to
consequences. He was taken before
Justice Butler and permitted to furnish
an appearance bond in the sum of SIS, it
being ascertained that the wounded man
was not considered to be in dangerous
condition. Racke's spr2ined ankle aud
the wound en- his head have caused him
considerable suffering, but he seems to
be doing we'll and is in a fair way to re-
cover in due course.

The sad death of the young wife Of Mr..
Alois Wutke of Port Barrow evokes gen.
eral sympathy. What renders the event
more than ordinarily affecting is the fact
that the unfortunate deceased had just
realized the joys Of motherhood and a
tender babe is deprived of her love and
care at the very threshold of its life.

time at the Donaldsonville wharf yester-

for such exercise could have been de-

Tho river is about on a stand to-day,
and is no higher than it was four or five
days ago. In our opinion the continued
rise at Vicksburg will be counteracted
by intervening creyasses, and the water
at this point will probably go no higher
than it is now.

| FATAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS T.. Baker,
we'll known young citizen of Donaldson
vile, lost his life by accident last Thurs
day morning. Deceased and his youns
friend Antoine Pfster, Jr., had gone W
the river to point six or eight mile.
above Plaquemino to make raft of drift
logs. They. succeeded in getting some
| thirty logs together and shortly afte,
midnight of Wednesday started for home
Their skidf was floating alongside the
raft, and to better secure the boat, Mr.
Phstsr began to pail it upon the logs
Young Baker, who had been suffering
from chiils and fever, was lying down,
but started to assist his companion, not
withstanding the latter's protest. While
making his way toward the skiff, Baker
lost his footing on a slippery log and fell,
striking violently on the breast and side
of the head. Pfster went quickly to his
friends assistance and did all that was
possible to revive him, but within ten
minutes the unfortunate young man had
expired, breathing bis last as the raft
was passing Plaquemins at 2 o'clock
Thursday morning. Mr.. Pfister arrived
here at IL "A. NJ, Thursday, and the body
of young Baker was taken to the resi-
dence of his sister on Lessard street, from
Whence it was conveyed to the Catholic
cemetery and buried yesterday morning
after being viewed by the Coroner. The
deceased had been in poor health for two
years preceding his death, and had it not
been for bis weak aud debilitated condi-
ton, it is scarcely probable his fall
would have proven fatal. The only words
lie spoke after the accident were to ask
for his cap, which had fallen from his
head when he slipped. He was quiet,
we'll behaved young man, and enjoyed
the esteem Of all who knew him.

CREvAssEs.-We speak elsewhere o
the breaking of the levee at the Mrs. Ju
lien Landry place, i'll this parish, yester
day morning. This is the only crevasse
that has occurred in Ascension since
1868, when the levee broke at the Ash.
land plantation, within two miles of the
present breach, requiring nearly week
of hard work to close it. The river was
scarcely more than bank-full at that time
aud there. was by no means such depth
OF water to contend with as is now pour
ing through the Julien Landry break.
From the officers Of the steamer AS
sumption it is learned that a creyasse
occurred Thursday night at the Numa
Folse place, on the left bank of Bayou
Lafourche, four miles below Napoleon
vile, in Assumption parish. The break
was at point where there are two levees
and intelligence was received last eve.
ming that work was progressing favora-
bly, and it was hoped the gap would be
closed by nightfall. The break at Pitt
mans place, below Lafourche Crossing.
has greatly lessened the strain on the
levees Of the lower Lafourche, and little
apprehension is felt of further damage ip
that region. z.-......-
Tuesday night slight break il the
levee took place at the head of valen-
zuela lane, fonr miles .elow Donaldson
vile o.. the left bank of Bayou Lafourche.
a large force of laborers was quickly
concentrated at the spot, and after about
fifteen hours of systematic work the
breach was securely meuded.
A crevasse was narrowly averted on
Tuesday at the old Pedesclaux place
near the lower line of our parish, on the
right bank Of the river. The trouble
was caused by the collapse of an old rice
flume from which the gates had been
removed, and it was only the promptness
and energy of the planters and citizens
of the vicinity that prevented disas-
trous break.
