On Tuesday last Gustave Harris WAS
taken from the Donaldsonvile Jail anu, con-
veyed to Napoleonville. where he was ar
raigned for the murder of Erwin Garrett
and plead not guilty. The case was fixed
for trial on Thursday next the 2eth inst,
but owing to the absence of the most impor-
tant Witness it is extremely doubtful if the
trial will proceed. A number of the friends
of Harris have dubbed together and en-
ployed Judge Whitaker of New Orleans TO
defend the prisoner. and they appear conf
dent that the accusation Of murder can not
be sn,stantiated.

I No MoRE SNAIL Pex.-The three eases Of
small pox reported III last weeks CHEZ are
ali eonvalcscent. and no new ones have
| made their appearances. The children of
| Widow Adolphe Landry and Ned. Taylor
had mild attacks of the disease. The wife
of VIM. Laney, however, had a very severe
ease, but careful attention was given all
the patio nts and they are rapidly recovering.
We think there is little eanse for further
apprehension of an epidemic here. As We
said last week, the disease has shown 70
disposition to spread to any alarming extent
where it has made its appearance, and it is
idle to presume that Donaldsonville will
prove an exception to the rule i'll this re-
slect. We are decidedly of the opinion
that the three convalesccnt cases we have
reported will be the last with which our
town will be affl icted this season.
The little extra issued from the CHIEF
Office Wednesday evening created quite q
sensation and, the announcement that SER
vices would be resumed at the Catholic
Church on Holy Thursday attracted IL lar &c
attendance Of worshippers that day, sester-
day and to-day. Yesterday was Good Fri
day, one of the most solemn anniye rsaries
known to the Christian faith, and today
marks the close of the Lenten season. To-
morrow, Easter Sunday, the solemnities and
penance of Lent will give.way to rcjoicings
and gladstone ceremonies, commemorative
Of the triumph of Christ over his enemies
and his ascension into heaven.
Anderson Cutno and General Wash
ington. colored laborers employed on the

blowing in a field near the public road 'front.'
ing the plantation, and was going down the
row with his back to the road when Amber
son came by Oh horseback, deliberately
raised shotgun and shot Washington in
the back. then rode rapidly off. He stopped
a few moments Oh one of the Bierne places
to get something to eat, then continued his
flight Washington is very severely hurt,
