James Green, the colored man charged
with fatally cutting John Henry Del
honde on the Ben. Tureaud Houmas place
the night of December S, 1880, and who has
been i'll Jail ever since that time, was re-
leased last Thursday morning, on furnish
ing an appearance bond of $3.50, signed by
Mr.. John Reuss as surety. Green and Del
honde quarreled about some money, and
during the fight that ensued Delhonde re-
ceived a cut on the left shoulder and an
other in the epigastrc region, penetrating
into the cavity of the abdomen and causing
the entrails to protrude. He lived week
after tho wounds were inflicted and died
from their effects. Green was indicted for
mansaug liter on the 9th of April, 1881, and
although his case has been fixed for trial at
every criminal term of court since then, it
has always been postponed on account of
the absence of material witnesses said to
tendance the authorities have been unable
to secure. Judge Chez ers did right in fix
ing a bond at a figure which enabled Green
to obtain his liberty. The law does not
contemplate keeping accused persons in
confinement indefinitely without according
them a trial. especially in cases like this,
where the delay is not due to the laches or
want Of diligence on the part of defendants
in endeavoring to procure the presence of
their witnesses Green is going to work on
one of Mr.. Reuss' plantations, and will no
doubt appear in court whenever called up
on to do so.

SMALL FIRE.--A fire occurred at the house
of Mr.. Jos. Lazard, Il colored resident on
St Patrick street in DonaldsonvilIc, little
after noon of Thursday, causing the usual
amount of excitement consequent upon such
incidents. The women of the house were
ironing in the room where the blaze started,
when the roof caught fire from the chimney
The alarm was quickly raised and persons
i'll the neighborhood rushed to the rescue.
Among those who were first on the scene
and by whom the flares were distinguished,
we have ascertained the names Of Messrs
j. Rumsey Duke, Louis Wild, u. Variant,
Charles Duke, Emanuel Bercier, Emile Ar
maud and George Dominique, members Of
Phoenix, Blue Bucket and Perseverance
Fire Companies. Although the fire had made
considerable Roadway, these young men
succeeded in arrcsting its progress and saw
ing the house, the damage done amounting
to only S25 or $50. An alarm was rung on
the Phoenix fire bell and the steam engine
of that company and the Babcock extin-
guishers of the Hook and Ladder company
were taken out and proceeding towards ST.
Patrick street when word came that the
fire was out and the danger over. There
were q few nom ents delay at both the en-
CINE aud truck house in getting the doors
open. Every member ought to be provided
with II key to obviate such drawbacks in
the future. Fire was started in the steamer
and she would have been almost ready for
duty by the time the burning house could
have been reached. When our town and
fire companies become rich enough to stand
the expense, they ought to have horses kept
in readiness to draw their extingushing
apparatus to fires. sFirem en- who have any
distance to run arc generally almost ont of
breath when they reach the engine houses
and are i'll poor condition to haul a heavy
engine or truck through the streets, and
during bad weather the difficulties of the
task are greatly enhan ccd.

During services at the Pettus-
vile church last Tuesday night a
difficulty originated between a. NJ.
Atkinson and Rob't Trotter, in
which the former stabbed the latter
in several places about the head and
neck, inflicting some very painful
wounds, and one that may yet prove
fatal. Atkinson's first stroke was
at Trotter's head, taking effect near
the top of the head. The knife be-
ing raised perpendicularly, the blade
extended through the skull bone,
breaking off about an inch of
the blade in Trotter's head. Had
it not been for the breaking of the
blade some of the other wounds
would have been much worse
Trotter after receiving these
wounds knocked Atkinson down
and wound have cut his throat had
he not been prevented. DR.. Thos.
G.. Pettus extricated the blade from
Trotter's head and dressed his
wounds. He was at last report do
ing very well. Atkinson was soon
after arrested and carried to Elk
mont and the trial was set for
Wednesday st the residence of Esq.
Morris, where Trotter lived.
Wednesday morning Constable
Gray and others started with At
kinson for the trial and while on
the way, Atkinson finding the head
of the officer turned, made good his
escape by jumping from his horse
and running through the woods,
and has not yet been apprehended.

Our holidays are over and we are
again gathered together for another
term, with many additional board
ers. We gladly welcome the boys
from different counties and states.
The boys all express themselves
highly pleased their new homes and
teachers. As our teachers and the
surroundings make it one of the
most desirable places in the coun-
try.
Prof. Stokes, our new teacher, a
graduate Of Hampden- Sidney Col
lege, Va, is a gentleman of high in
tellectual attachments and his con
geniality cannot be exceiled by
any teacher in the county.
Since our last term the college
has been wonderfully improved.
This shows the prosperity ofour in
stitution under the segacious man
agement of the principals.
We met last Friday night in the
Giles College hall and organized a
debating society. Will Davis was

can safely say that debating soci-
ETY. is one of the main roads for
those who aspire to intellectual
culture.
