The curious phenomenon Of phospho-
resent ice, observed in the Arctic
regions, has been described by Mr.. ].
Allen. Whenever the observer saw
lump of ice shattered at night by the
vessel carrying him, he perceived a
peculiar light emitted by the frozen
fragments. The light is very like that
produced by breaking 2 piece of sugar

BASE BALL.-We record this week an
incident that has an important bearing
upon the prospect for lively aud inter-
esting season of this enticing and manly
sport. Last Sunday afternoon the Burn
side club met at Phoenix Hall and
unanimously decided to proceed to the
organization of new club to he called
the J. I. Nolan Base Ball Club of Don
aldsonville, in compliment to Mr.. Jno. T.
Nolan, Jr, popular sugar planter and
universally esteemed citizen, whose ad-
miration for tho game is woll known.
The following officers were elected:
Pierre Klopnan, Honorary President;
w. G. Wilkinson. President;
JOS. NJ. Heating, Vice President;
j. Z. Duke, Secretary and Treasurer;
j. j. Lafargue, Manager;
l.. E. Bentley, Captain;
F. Leroy, Warden.
The Honorary President, President and
Manager were constituted Board of
Trustees and committees Oh constitution
and uniform appointed. The club will
meet on the third Sundays Of each month.
Members Of the Burnside club in good
standing will be considered members Of
the new organization unless they signify
desire to the contrary, and it is pro-
posed at the next meeting to place men,
bers of the Grasshopper club iu the same
category. Virtually the Nolan club has
been formed by fusion of the Burnsides
and Grasshoppers. Immediate measures
will be taken to uniform the club, organ
izo second nine and put Nolan square
in good order as q base ball field. The
compliment paid to Messrs. Klopman,
Lafargue and Nolan was we'll placed, for
no three gentlemsn in the community
have done more than they to encourage
the national sport in this locality. To
their liberality and cooperation are due
much of the enjoyment and succcss Of
the season of 1881.
We learn that the mooted recrganiza-
ton Of the New Hope club will be effected
tomorrow and that the plucky anchor
team will enter the lists determined to
make lively struggle for the local cham
pionsbip. The Hopes will be strength
ened by the acquisition of several ner
players.
As majority of the members Of the
new Nolan nine will visit New Orleans
on the 4th Of March with the Independ-
cnt Band and Ascension Hook and Lad.
der Company, it would be good idea
for the others to make the trip also and
play with some city club on the day
following the fremen's parade.

A repor: has gained considerable
credence here that several cases Of small
pox have appeared In the vicinity OF
Paincourtville. A gentleman from that
neighborhood informs us that there was
ono case there about six weeks ago, but
that the disease did not spread and 50
far az he is informed there have been no
new cases nor do any now exist. The
simple fact, however, that small pox has
been 50 close to our doors should lead
every body to protect themselves against
the fearful disease Big vaccination. An
'nfnitesimal Quantity of vaccine matter
Is better than many hundred weight of
small pox.

The Champion Needle Story.

From the Piftsburg ePenn.) Commercial, May II.
lady living in the vicinity of Blairsville has
had a somewhat remarkable experience When
little girl, she put sewing-needle in her
mouth, which got into her throat As 1t en-
tered her throat crosswise it lodged, and her
mother made an attempt to get it out but 1t
disappeared. The family were greatly alarmed
and called in physician, but as the needle
could not be seen nothing could be DONE and
just fears were entertained of serious conse-
quences. Ina short time. however the injury the
throat had sustained healed. and as NO further
inconvenience was experienced the matter was
forgotten or recalled only as q strange affair.
The little girl grew to womanhood married and
became mother. enjoying all the while excel
lent health. few days ago she began to ex-
perience tagging sensation in one of her thighs,
which became at times very annoying and pain
fm. Finally the end of the needle made its sp-
pearance through the fiesh which she caught
and extracted-beyond all doubt the identical
needle which she swallowed years ago. To the
unintiated, at least. it seems very strange that
sewing needle should spend more than q dozen
OF years In making such q pilgrimage through q
human body without giving greater inconyeni-
ence or pain than in this case.

Goats 10 Project sheen.

Farmers in New Jersey use goats to protect
their sheep from dogs. Two goats can drive
away dozen dogs. and two are about all each
farmer puts in with his sheep. AS soon as a dog
enters at night the goats attack him, and their
butting propensities are too much for the ca
nine, who soon finds himself rolling over
few repetitions of this treatment causes the dog
to quit the field. limping and yelling. Formerly,
when dog entered a sheep field at night, the
ssheep would run wildly around and CRY piteously.
Since the goats have been used to guard them
they form in line behind the goats and seem to
enjoy the fun. The idea of utilizing goats in
this way came from the west. where they are
put in sheep pens to drive away wolves.
