PUBLIC ScHooLs.-The examinations
OF the male and female departments OF
the Donaldsonville colored public school
took place on Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday Of this week, closing with an in
teresting and successful exhibition at the
st. Peter NJ. E. Church school room, last
evening. We regret that business duties
prevented us from attending either ex-
aminations OF exhibition, but the prin-
clpal of the school has promised MS an
account of the exercises and we expect to
publish it in cur next paper. Mr.. and
Mrs. j. Hollowell are the teachers re-
speetively Of the boys and girls divisions
Of this school, and the excellent progress
the children are making under their in
struction is the best proof Of their capac-
ity as preceptors.
Mr.. J. W. Gray, teacher of the Lum
public school in the third ward. has
favored US with copies of his reports for
the scholastic months ending May IL
andJune9. The comparative condition of
the school during those two months is
shown by the following extract from the
The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1882-06-10

"Cofield Broom Guard" is the name
the ladies have adopted for the military
organization they have formed for the
purpose of assisting at an entertainments
in aid of the Cofield Guards. A number
of recruits have been added to the ranks
of the Broom Guards, and the drills OF
the past week have been of the most
satisfactory character. Every thing ap-
pears favorable for the success OF the
movement, and we see no reason why 1t
should not be as productive of as much
innocent enjoyment to the members aud
their friends as has been the case with
similar organizations in hundreds of
other towns and cities throughout the
country. In the Louisiana towns of
Lake Charles and Amite City companies
OF Sweet sweepers lately gave e1hibi-
t1ons for charitable purposes, with the
most gratifying results, while New Or

Mr.. Gray, who has been student at
Leland University, proposes to enter the
, institution again, complete bis course OF
studies and embrace the ministry as a
profession.
Inquiry has been made by a teacher as
to the probable length of the pending
term of the public schools. While we
are not prepared to give a definite reply
just now, we can venture the statement
| that the available funds in the hands of
the school authorities will permit of only
very brief session. The revenues for
purposes Of public education are wofully
inadequate to the needs of the work in
this parish.
Mr.. c. d. C. Bryan, teacher of the
Marchand school in the fifth ward, sup
plies the following report of the condi-
ton of his school: -
Last year this school was very large !;
this year much smaller on account Of the
crevasse above Gibson's which has over
flowed nearly all the Marchand settle
ment. Seventeen families were drowned
ont and had to seek homes elsewhere,
still I can make a favorable report !:
Total number of pupils IS, males 16, fe-
males, 10, average attendance 50, alpha

Mr.. Fred Rogge, the popular front
street barber, has taken new departure
which deserves success whether it will
achieve it or not. Hs has established,
i'll connection with his fine barber shop,
bath rooms where hot OF cold baths can
be had at any time. This will no doubt
be a convenience greatly appreciated by
The travelling public, and many others as
well, and we. hope to see tho venture
rewarded by liberal patronage. Mr..
Rogge's new advertisements should receive
the attention Of allour local readers.

HOMICIDE on NEW RIvER.-On the
seth Of May an alteration occurred at
Mr.. j. st. Amants store, on lower New
River, in the seventh ward of this par
ish, which eliminated in the killing of
Henry SweariDgen by John Pertuis. We
have heard little Of the origin of the diff
ficulty, excepting that it occurred about
or at the time rations were being distrib-
uted to the people Of the vicinity whose
lands were oycrfowed, and that whiskey
was one Of the moving causes of the
trouble. The circumstances under which
the homicide was committed are thus
related by eye-witnesses The men met
on the gallery Of the store and Swearin-
gen cursed Pertuis, drawing out his
knife and opening it as he did so. Swear
ingen approached Pertuis, but was
seized by Mr.. Anderson. Breaking away
after tussel he still advanced on
Pertuis who drew a pistol and fired
