JUSTINE ROBIN VS.. ALCIDE DEKERLE.
GAND, HUSBAND, EFT AL.

The plaintiff, wife of defendant, Alcido De-
Kerlegand, sues her husband for a separation
of property and for Judgment against him
for monies received for her by her said hus-
band. In the same proceeding, the plaintiff
asked for an Injunction prohibiting Louis De-
Kerlegand from paying over to Aleide De
Kerlegand or to any assignee OF said Alcide,
any part of the money which said Louis owed
to the said last named; and the plaintiff fur
ther prayed by supplemental petition for a
sequestration OF all the property of the de-
fendent, Alcide DeKerlegand,
Interrogatories on facts and articles were
propounded to Louis DeKerlegand, to obtain
the informatiom Of the amount of his indebt-
adness to Alcide DeKerlegand, and to fix his
liability towards the plaintiff. After being
duly authorized to carry on these proceed
ings, the plaintiff took Judgment by default,
which was followed mp after expiration Of
legal delays by proceedings in confirmation of
said default.
The plaintiff has fully made out her case
against her husband and also against Louis
DeKerlegand, as to the demand made against
him.
For these reasons, and because the law is
in favor Of plaintiff, it is ordered, adjudgad
and decreed that the plaintiff Justine Robin,
be separated in property from her husband,
Alcide DeKerlegand, and that the community
between them be dissolved; and 1t is further
decreed that she have Judgment against him

acknowledges yet to owe, to-wit: four thou
sand six hundred and eight dollars, less three
hundred and fifty dollars.
And it is further ordered and decreed, that
this balance, when exigible, shall be paid to
the plaintiff in this suit !; and it is further
that the property attached by the sheriff be
sold to satisfy the judgment herein rendered
against the defendant and it is further or

TIGER BEND (Arnyelles). Nov '82
EDITORS OF THE COURIER:
On the morning of the 4th inst,
boarded the carly passenger train down
for Grand Coteau and st. Charles Col
lege. We arrived in the pleasant old
town soon after nine o'clock, and par
took of good breakfast at Mr. Castille's
private boarding house, where We re-
ceived every attention and plenty of
good cheer ut his well-laid table. After
breakfast we made short round of the
town, and finally found onrself ON the
Collage grounds. We were not long in
finding the President, Rev. John Mon
tillOt, who received us something after
the old Irish fashion: g "A million bless
ings Oh you!" that takes you back to
the land of st. Patrick. Excuse me,
but that old Celtic blessing is the no.
blest in the world. After my business
was through with the President, he
kindly consented to show me the various
grounds connected with the College.
First, walk through the garden, which
is we'll laid ont and in a high state OF
cultivation. Vegetables of great size
and all varieties, rare flowers, shrubs,
plants and exotics are to be seen at
every turn. The tea plant and many
rare and strange grOwths can be found
in this garden, too numerous to men
tion, and finally it caused US to think
over the lines of Tom Moore's Lalla
Rookh:
"How happy" exclaimed this child of air.
"Are the foly spirits who wander there,
Mid flowers that never shall fade OF fall
Though mime are The gardens of earth and sea-
ABd the stars themselves have flowers tor me
One blossom of heave:t out blooms them all
From the garden we were led by the
Rev. Father through the various grounds
and every incident of interest pointed
out. We learn of the foundation of the
College how it started years ago, its
progress, etc. They have some, very fine
cane and expect to make fhlly sixty
hogslleads of sugar. The church is a
beauty. One nf the Brothers was archi-
teet and, If mistake not, builder. The
paintings are very grand, and the eolors
so we'll blended that they show to the
very best advantage. The altars are
master pieces OF workmanship, and were
made in Belgium. There is every at
traction about the College to please and
make the student happy and eomforta-
bic. No doubt have said too much
now for your space; yet we wonder why
young men seeking an education should
70 North, when the facilities are just as
good at home. Above all else, patron
ize home schools and home enterprise
and industries. Finally bidding the Rev.
Professor goodbye, ! said tohim, 4" You
may see something Of my trip here in
the Opelousas COURIER" His reply
was, )" very good" Tlen leave the
rest to you.
Yours, ILLINOIS.

Major Herron's majority in st. Lam
dry, as aseertained from the official re-
turns by Hon. M. ID. Kavanagh, return
ing officer, is sl5--a not very unsatis-
factory result, considering the apathy
to he overcome in an election where
only one candidate was to be voted for.
The total vote was over 1900, oniy about
1000 less than at the last election, two
years ago, when both congressman and
presidential electors were elected and
the Democratic majority 10 relatively
greatar than at that election. If, there
fore, as contemporary declares, the
falling off OF the yote ia solely attribnta-
BILE to the dissatisfaction with the action
of The Democratic Parish COMMITTEES and
the new election law, then the Repul'li-
cans were affected thereby to Il greater
extent than the Democrats consum-
nation which ought sot TO distress the
latter 0ntYe aeesuYe.
