MURDER AND RoBBERY.-One of the
most diabolical attempts at assassina-
tlon and robbery, which we have ever
been called upon to chronicle, occurred
on the Barbreck plantation, near St.
Peters store in the northern extremity
of this parish on the 18th ult. One of
the victims of this fearful tragedy,
Richard Farrell, died on the 2sth ult.
and the surviving enc, John Reilly,
gave the following testimony before the
Coroner's inquest held on the body Of
the deceased on the above date. It
appears that Richard Farrell, John
Reilly, and John Fahey were all en-
gagged in ditching upon the Payne plan
tatisn, known as the Barbreck, on
Bayou B@uf The men occupied the
same house and messed together. On
the night of the 18th alt, while Farrell
and Reilly were eating their supper
Fahey approached them from the rear
"uN u0oiV OOtu uUu SUCH muEu6TOuS
blows with an ak, that they were stunn-
ed and weltering in blood before they
realized the hellish design of their de-
moniac companion. Reilly returned
to consciousness in time to recognize
Fahey as the would-be assassin, and
saw him rob the clothing of himself
and Farrell Of all the money contained
therein. The murderer and robber
then departed. and has not been ap-
pretended up to the present writing.
Reilly is rapidly recovering from his
wounds. Such a red-handed villain
should suffer the severest penalty of
the law.

The Donaldsonville Ohief says, in
reference to the Congressional contest
in the third district:
Undoubtedly the district Democracy
has selected its shrewdest politician
and most energetic worker fer can
didate, but the nomination il one that
finds its main defense in the plea of
expediency and that will excite an
uDdercurrent of quiet but determined
opposition in the Democratic ranks.
Mr.. Acklen's hopes of election must
rest on one of two grounds either the
Legislature must gerrymander the
State so as to make the Third District
Democratic, or the Republicans must
repeat the folly of 1873 and run tive
candidates for Congress

Ito church the two together &sa
Both, doubtless. on devotion bent.
The parson preached with fluent ease;
On Pharisees and Sadducees.
And as they homeward slowly walked,
The lovers on the sermon talked,
And he-he deeply loved the maid
In soft and tender accents said:
ssDarling, do you think that we
Are Pharisee and Sadducee 2"
She flashed on him her bright black eyes
In one swift look OF vexed surprise.
And thus he fastened to aver.
He was her constant worshipper:
'sBut, darling. INSIST said he,
That you are very fair-Isee.
know you don't care much for me,
And that makes me SO sadyou-see."

can give you no better or clearer opinion than by
using the remarks of Mr.. Campbell, in thanking
the choir for their labor and the audience for
their attendance. The choir. he said had labored
under many announcements but it was conf
posed Of such good material they could not be
disheartened when duty called them, and they
were certainly entitled TO the hearty and sincere
thanks of the church. Also to the ladies not
members of the church. who aided them on the
occasion. Their tn inks were also due TO Messrs
Wo drow and Hawkins, who had rendered them
such valuable aid but he thought the church. the
choir and the audience were under many obliga-
tions to Miss Cole, of Baltimore, as all could see
and appreciate how much she had enhanced the
interest of the entertainment by her singing and

A berdeen.

The entertainment given by the ladies of Grove
Presbyterian church. last Thursday evening. was
a successful affair. The exercises were varied -
There singing and reading, and also a comic
lecture by Mr.. +. G. Campbell. which brought
down the house. To mention name of one Of
the participants and not another might lead the
reader to infer disparagement. which could not
be said. The programme was closely adhered to-,
and every one knew his or her part. Mrs. T. A.
Hanway only was missed. and this was caused by
the serious accident which had befallen her only
a few days previous. Miss Lula Campbell pre-
sided at the organ.
by the way, the visitor to Grove church. can
not help but notice a very sensible and needed
Improvement made therein. The unsightly ros-
trum has been taken down. and a simple eleva-
ton of eight ten inches Is there in its stead.
The NJ r. church is being repaired and re-
modelled. and already presents a neat appear
ance. The roof heretofore had many corners.
now it only has four. and the barn like cupola
which rose from the top has been taken down.
We are glad to have in our midst progressive min
listers rs well as progressive people.

age last week. we are glad to report much i'm

Roads that Need Repairing.

Cannot our supervisors on the Churchvile and
Bel Air road aud the Fountain Green and Har-
ford Furnace road bestr themselves a little and
fill up the bad holes open the water &C.,
at once? Putting Off such work until late in the
season reduces the use OF good roads to a very
short period of time. This kind of work is being
done on the Abingdon and Bel Air road. and the
people appreciate It and are anticipating rea-
sonably good road there for at least the whole
summer season.
The people who pay for this work are entitled
to the same attention all over the county, an our
supervisors should try and give 1t to them. Tax
payers do not complain about paying for good
roads. and they ought TO have them for at least a
reasonable portion of the year. This late repair
ing orr county roads makes the time for the nse
of good roads so short that their value Is far be-
low what IL would be IL the roads were mended
early in the season. Our supervisors should and
we are satisfied that they will try ana remedy
this matter. 3.
