TELEPHONE CABLE.-A force of men en-
ployed by the Great Southern Telephone
company was engaged yesterday morning
IN laying the cable across Bayou Lafourehe
at this place which is to connect the wires
OF the New Orleans and Baton Rouge line,
and by the time this number of our paper
IS printed no doubt the job will have been
successfully completed and the connection
established. The cable traverses the bayou
Immediately adjacent to the lower side of
the new iron bridge. It is about two inches
IN diameter and is known as a seven-wire
cable. It lays in little trenches extending
from the base Of the levee to the waters
edge on each side of the stream, and will
be securely fastened Or anchored to the
bottom.

Old Antoine Diez, one of the most veneer
able residents Of this town, is i'll and in
needy circumstances at his residence oppo-
site the new Bayou Lafourche bridge, head
of Attakapas street. Constable John Ram

other day and obtained a number of small
contributions with which to relieve the aged
sufferers immediate necessities. Mr.. Diez
IS very old and will probably soon pass
away from the earthly scenes with which he
has been familiar longer, perhaps, than any
other resident Of Donaldsonvilie.

M1srRIAL.-W heard it stated yesterday
that the trial at Napoleonville of the case
OF Gustave Harris, charged with murder
for having shot and killed Erwin Garrett
III Assumption parish On the 9th of last
November, had resulted in disagreement
OF the jury. We have been unable to obtain
further particulars up to the hour of going
to press, but we do not doubt that the re-
port of mistrial is authentic. It is more
than probeble that Harris will be allowed
the privilege of bail.

GETTING READY FOR GRINDING every
hand the planters are pushing forward their
preparations for an early Inauguration of
the grinding season. Anumber of mills in
this vicinity have been operated for the
purpose Of ascertaining if every thing is in
good order, and so far as we have ascer-
tanned, the tests were all satisfactory. On
Monday next, the LIST of October, grinding
will begin at the Evan Hall plantation of
Messrs. Mccall Bros, Mr.. Buckner's Ores
cent and Mr.. Taylor's St. Emma places,
all in this parish, followed on Monday, the
9Th proximo, by Mr.. James Teller's River
side place. Messrs. =. & J. KocI1 of AS
sumption will start the mill at their mag
nifcent Belle Alliance place day after to-
morrow. Doubtless there are other places
in this vicinity where equally early starts
will be made, but the foregoing are all of
which we have heard up to this writing. By
the 18th of October the grinding season
will be in full blast.

pone the dramatic entertainment which
had been set for the 22d of October and to
give instead grand instrumental and vo-
cal concert, followed by a ball. Sunday
evening, October Ia, has been selected as
the date for this entertainment, an adver-
tisement of which will be found in to- davis
CHIEF. While the reputation of the Terp-
sichorean Club is sufficient assurance that
the concert and ball will be all that could
be desired by the most exacting, we feel
justified in saying especial pains will be
taken in the preparation and execution of
the details pertaining thereto, i'll order that
the social escutcheon of the club may
be rendered still more dazzling by an
achievement as bright as any Of its prede-
cessors. The committees for the enter
tainment are as follows:
