AN INTERESTING EvENT.-Last Thursday
morning, the 18th inst, Mr.. j. Omer Ian
dry, native of Ascension parish now re-
siding and doing business in San Antonio
Texas, was united in the silken bonds of
wedlock to Miss Lille Billiu of Lafourche
parish, the ceremony being performed at
the residence Of the brides venerable
mother, on Abby plantation, Rev. R. s.
Stuart of Donaldsonville officiating. The
marriage of this handsome couple was wit
messed by number of friends, whose cor
dial congratulations will linger as pleasing
remembrance in the minds of the manly
groom and his beautiful bride. The couple
departed for their Texas home by Thurs
days evening train on the Morgan road,
carrying with them wealth of good wishes
for their future happiness, to which the
CHIEF deems it a pleasant privilege to con-
tribute its mite. The following paragraph
from the San Antonio Times of last week
will serve to show how Mr.. Landry is re-
garded in the home of his adoption:

Omer Landry for an addition to his drug store
on Alamo Plaza. Now, to any one acquainted
with Mr.. Landry nothing would have appeared
strange or unusual in his applying for permit
to enlarge his store, for he is o we'll known and
popular druggist, with a constantly and rapidly
increasing trade, and it would be the first
thought of any one, that he was only enlarging
to accommodate his largely increased stock of
drugs. perfumeries toilet articles etc.. but
an enterprising Times reporter thought he

to ascertain Mr.. Landry's object in building an
addition. HIS industry was rewarded It has
been ascertained ON the best of authority that

transplant his fair lily of the bayou and make
this his home for a long time to come. Beliey-
ing Mr.. Landry to be a worthy citizen, and re-

SMALL Pox. : Still another week has
passed without death from this disease
occurring in our town and there can scarce
ly be doubt that the type Of the malady
has greatly altered since its first appear
ance here. There are four new cases re-
ported, rs follows: wife and little son of
Hon. Pierre Landry, Chetimaches street,
near Claiborne; colored girl, nicknamed
" Kioton," Lafourche street, between At
takapas and IberviIle; wife of Antoine Sua-
res, Railroad Avenue, between Conway and
St. Michael streets. Mrs. Landry has been
quite low, but we are pleased to hear that
she and her son are much better. A colored
man whose name we have not learned is
said to be down with small pox in Port
Barrow.

French & Co.'S little show exhibited on
the public square last Sunday afternoon
and evening, and We estimate the attend
ance at fully 1000. The tent was crowded
at night, and a great many people were
compelled to stand. The character of the
performances was only fair and there were
no startling features. The advertised mu-
scum and menagerie dwindled into side
show with an extra price of admission. We
understand that there were several wild
animals on the company's steamer, but they
were not brought ashore. The exhibitions
were quite we'll conducted as whole, though
the rinen.astor INDUCED in one OR two vul-
gar illusions that were offensive to NODES
ty and good taste. The show is now visit
ing the Bayou Lafourche country and on its
return will go back up the river. exhibiting

No JuRY.-A meeting of the Jury Com
mission of this parish was called for to-day
to draw panel of grand and petit jurors
for service at the next term of the District
Court, in February, but as only one Com
missioner besides the Clerk was able to
attend, the meeting failed for want of a
quorum. Mr.. Gonzales lives at such dis
lance from town that it generally requires
a week Or more to communicate with him
by mail, and Mr.. Bel is confined to hisroom
from the effects of severe cold, hence Mr.
Duncan alone appeared at the Clerks office
in response to the call. As this is the last
day upon which the drawing can take place
and leave the prescribed interval of fifty
days before the opening of the term of
court, there will be no jury in February,
unless Judge Cheevers orders special We
nire for the second week or later.

Cal Wagner's minstrel troupe failed to
fulfill their engagement to appear here last
Monday, for what reason we are unable to
state. Arrangements fer their reception at
the Lee Hotel were made, Phoenix Hall was
prepared for the expected performance and
quite large number OF reserved seats were
sold at the store of Mrs. M. Israel & Co.,
consequently the strange conduct of the
Wagner management was productive of no
little annoyance and useless expense. The
troupe performed In Natchez the night they
We're advertised to appear here. It is to be
presumed they had some cogent excuse for
giving Donaldsonville the go-by, but they
certainly had none for failing to notify us
of their intention.
Mrs. Ann King, colored woman living
In Port Barrow, appeared at the Court
House yesterday with her foster SON, Jim
Simpson, and asked that he be sent to the
House of Refuge in New Orleans. Jim's
hanas were securely tied. it appears he is
a very bad and unruly youth, who sets the
authority and influence of his natural pro-
tectors at defiance, hence their desire to
have him subjected to some more effectual
restraint and discipline in order that he
may not continue i'll the crooked path he
is now travelling. Deputy Clerk McCulloh
agreed to make application, on Mrs. Kings
behalf, for the admission of the reckless
youth into the reformatory institution where
she wishes to place him.

DEATH OF BEN TuREAUD. - Onr paper
being delayed this week, we are enabled to
chronicle in the present issue the mourn
full intelligence of the death of Mr.. Ben
jamin Tureaud, venerable sugar planter
and most respected citizen of the parish of
Ascension, who expired at his residence
Saturday night, the 18th inst, at $40 o clock,
aged S. years. We have no room in this
issue and no data at hand for sketch of
his career, but we can say en- PEASANT that
he was one Of the most highly respected
residents of Ascension and man concern
ing whose character We have heard none
but eulogistic opinions expresed. His sur
viving relatives will have the warmest sym
pathy in their great loss. Mr.. Tureaud has
been in feeble health some time and was
so low during sojourn at Hot Springs last
summer it was not expected at one time
that he would return home alive.
