DISTRICT COURT IN ST. JAMEs.-Dis-
t,ict Attorney Earl,arf returned from st.
James this morning, having closed two
weeks of very satisfactory work upon
the criminal docket of the District Court
for that parish. The case of every
prisoner in the parish jail was tried and
disposed Of, and the criminal matters
still pending are mostly minor cases in
which the accused are out on bond. The
Grand Jury was very intelligent body
and transacted it's business with prompt
ness and efficiency. True bills were
returned against Florian Raymond for
murder, Vim. Brown for l.pe and Emma
Davis for pickrocketing, aud indict-
ments ignored in the cases of Solomon
Kahn charged with horse stealing, and
Octave Greenfield charged with burglary
Of q store in the night time. The most
important cases tried were those of Toby
jackson for the murder of David Scott.
George Washington and Riley Williams
for murder, and Scott Sims and Len
Wallace for stealing a horse belonging
to Mr.. Willie LeBourgeos. The Jackson
case resulted in mistrial, the jury
standing nine for acquittal and three for
a verdict Of mansaughter, and the ac-
cused was released OH bond; Washing
ton and Williams were acquitted and
the horse thieves convicted, receiv ing u
sentence of two years each in the peni
Tertiary. In the matter Of the State &C
rel D. Web,e ct ais as. Abram JONES'
wherein defendant, Justice Of the
Peace, is proceeded against under article
2o1 ct seq. of the Constitution, the court
sustained a peremptory exception filed
by defendant, the ground Of which is
that conplainants have not set forth
wherein defendant is incompetent or
specified the particular acts Of mall
feasance or misfeasance which it is pro-
posed to prove against him. An appeal
has been taken to the Circuit Court,
wherever sitting, returnable in ten days.
District Attorney Earhart and Mr.. !. L.
Gaudet represent the prosecution and r.
n. Sims, Esq, the defense.
The District Court has adjourned until
the Oath inst, when the trial Of the
celebrated Vacherie road suit will be
resumed.

so ably represents the second ward of

the gravest apprehensions in the minds

ASCENSION DAY.-This day was cele-
brated in the most solemn manner in the
Catholic Church. At 8 o'clock there was

kind that the congregation has been
favored with for some time. The choir

Of Donaldsonville's most talented lady
musicians, assisted by an orchestra led
by Prof. F. Blanchy, whilst the organ
was manipulated by Mr.. +. Gautllreaux,
Sr, who has been the organist of the
church for many years and whose repu
tation as finished musician is well
known. The mass rendered on this oc-
casion was composed by Prof. Blancly
some years ago, and is, to say the least,
beautiful, harmonious and grand: it is
production that will compare favorably
with any Of the old masters, and it can
truthfully be said thai this is Que of the
finest compositions with which the brill
liant genius Of Prof. Blanchy has yet
favored the musical world. The solos Of
Mrs. NJ Israel, Miss L. Olivia Allain
and Mrs. Edgar Fortier were sweet,
pathetic and sonorous, and have been
spoken Of in the most flattering man.

ecuted pieces Of music composed by
Prof B!anchy for the occasion, and it
did credit to the composer. Mrs. Edgar
Fortier and Mrs. Paul Leche were the
soloists, and performed their tasks i'll the
sweetest manner imaginary. So pleased
and infatuated were the congregation
! with The rendition of this mass that
Prof. Blanchy was requested, and has
kindly consented, to reproduce it on
