INV SToRE.-We have for two weeks
past intended to notice a new departure
on the part of that enteEprisins young
merchant, Mr.. F. Leroy, successor TO
Judge Maher III the grocery business at
the corner Of St. Patrick aud Claiborne
streets. Having secured from Capt. Juo.
T. Nolan, Jr., lease Of the old depot
building at the lower end of Railroad
Avenue, Mr.. Leroy has fitted up the in
terror in neat style aud established there
q well-stocked branch Of his popular
Union Corner Grocery. During the few
months he has done business in Donald
sonville, he has demonstrated his ability
to compete successfully 9th our oldest
and most experienced merchants. Ad
herring strictly to the cash principle and
the motto Of "quiek sales and small
profits" he has been steadily and surely
charging the scope Of his business and
increasing bis popularity as merchant
Few young men in Donaldsonville seem
to have brighter prospect before them
than Ar. Leroy.

DEMOCRATIC DELEGATES.-We have
received intelligence from all the wards
of the result Of the elections held last
Saturday for delegates to the Demo
cratic Congressional convention which is
to assemble in New Orleans next Monday,
and the gentlemen chosen are. the fol-
lowing:
First ward, Henry L. DnfTel:
Second ward, Robert CoauiIIe:
Third ward. Sebastian Gomez;
Fourth ward. Gustave Israel;
Fifth ward. Felix Reynaui;
Sixth ward. Z. f. Hart:
Seventh ward Ben Gibson;
Eighth ward. j. c. Green;
Ninth ward, Lueien Gausreau:
Tenth ward. c. a. BIoaiu
The selections were nearly all made by
unanimous votes and there was an almost
total absence OF competition. We have
only heard two of the delegates express
opinions as to the probable action Of the
convention: one favors tile nomination
of Mr.. Acklen, and thinks he will be
chosen without opposition the other is
opposed to any present nomination or
endorsements, and doesn't think the st.
Mary aspirant will be able to run the
convention to suit himself. If Mr.. Aeklen
is the only candidate for the Congress
sional nomination-and we are assured
sueh is the faet-we do not doubt that
he will he nominated or Endorsed next
Monday, and that the Ascension dele
gates, with one or two possible excep-
tons, will concur in and encourage that
action

A Lucky FISD--During the early part
Of last month, Mr. VIM. King of the
eighth ward was having some repairs
made to his residence. and in removing
old timbers in the loft the workmen dis
covered gold coin in several places,
amounting in all to about $11a, sufficient
to pay the entire cost Of the eontem-
plated repairs. 1t seems that Mr.. King
had secreted little sack Of gold in his
attic during the late war, and having at
various times added to tue fand without
keeping q record Of the amounts, was
not eognizant of the exact sam placed in
hiding. Doubtless the pieces found last
month had been removed from the sack
by rats or mice, and were not missed for
the reason just stated. We congratulate
Mr.. King upon his unexpected streak of
good luck, and take pleasure in saying
that it could not have fallen to the lot
of wortkier gentleman.

,Iidate for admission to the West Point
Military Academy from this Congress

he having outs.ripped his competitors in
the examination. Mr. Lssseigne Is q
cadet at the Louisiana State University

of Captain of B. Company, and has
almost completed . course at that inssl-

fulfil tie requirements imposed upon

We confidently predict that he will pass
the examination at West Point with
credit, and, if he lives, will graduate
with high honors. .....
