Messrs Editors: The social event of this
week. was the marriage celebrated at the
Episcopal Church in our town. on last
Wednesday afternoon.
The groom, wa Mr.. Hunter Leake. q
young gentleman of fine o arance aud
fair promise. a student of one of the learn
ed professions, and the talented editor of
the ''Feliciana Sentinel" He is the repre-
sentative of one of the first families of his
State.
The bride. was Miss Katie Ellis, daugh-
ter of Major Thomas H Ellis. and whose
mother is . descendant of tho we'll known
historical Douelson family.
The alliance of these two we'll known
families. brought about u ~conconrse of
their friends which is legion. and the bean
tifal and Hastily decorated church was
filled to repletion.
At the appointed hour, / o'clock. the
charming couple entered the church by
TIE sound of sweet music liscOursed in
beautiful strains of Mendelson's wedding
march, whereupOn the ceremony was per
formed. by the Rev. Mr.. Clark the talented
and Justly popular pastor of that church,
with all Of the pomp and solemnity pecu
liar to the ceremony of the Episcopal ser
vice.
Ao"uOA uhuuS anu IcuIcU taste were
manifest in the exquisite decoration of the
chancel. the traditional marriage bell.
horse shoe and monogram were there, be-
sides all else that q cultivated taste could
suggest.
Had we the descriptive powers of a
catherine Cole" or the aptitude O the.So
ciety Bee" we might be tempted to describe
the elegant and tasty toilets OF the fair
bride and her charming maids Misses Mag
gle Ellis and Amelia Leake. and must atone
for our deficiency in this respect by Civ
ing vent to our opinion. that art al it's
very best. could add but little to the GOOD
looks of this bevy Of young damsels. and
with whom Beauty unadorned, is adorned
the most"
Dame umor asserts that the bridal pres
ents are elegant and costly and in strict
keeping with the social position of this
happy couple.
The twain made one, took their depar-
ture ACCOMPANIED by their nearest and
dearest relatives, by the evening train for
their new home. bearing with them the
congratulations of their numerous friends
accompanied with their kind wishes for
their future prosperity and happiness.
We will here feebly suggest that mas
much as our sister parish East Feliciana
has made bold to invade our territory and
capture and convey home one of it's &C.
k~nowledged beauties, that Lafourche in
turn and true to the law of the Talon,
now inangnrate a system of reprisal and
send forth one of her sons to do likewise
unto one of F~eliciana's fair daughters.

TERRIBLE DISASTER.

1 Never ii the history of this coun
try has such destruction been
known as was experienced last
Sunday in parts of Mississippi, Ala
bama and Georgia. Storms aud
Cyclones are nothing new of late
years but such ones as we're turned
loos.. on last Sabbath evening are
calculated to arouse the deepest in
terest in every citizen. Death turn
ell loose roams at will, striking
both men and animals. The town
OF WessOn and Beauregard on the
Jackson Railroad some $50 miles
from New Orleans, appear to have
Jared the worst. Wess0n had one
portion of the town destroyed,
Beauregard was entirely demolish
I'd, not IL house left standing.
In these two towns many people
were killed and injured. Houses.
provisions, live stock all are gone.
Al Georgetown two churches we're
blown down, and several persons
killed aid others wounded. At Till
man Station the entire village was
swept away. and some killed aud
wounded people. Several lives
were lost at Red Lick. At Stark
vile the same thing occurred. Aber
deem and Lawrence suffered badly.
West Point was badly damaged.
These are but a 1.-THE of the places
that were in the passage of the
mad winds. Rains, like deluges,
fell at the same time, which whilst
drenching the people prevented
any losses by fire. that would have
been trightfal, as hundreds of PEG
pie were confined in the ruins of
their dwellings, for hours before
they We're relieved.
1t is heartrending to read of
these disasters. War and pesti
|ence r not worse. Two hundred
people were probably killed and ]
1000 injured. !

low citizens through long lives.
One false step, lowering this youth
below the dignity Of a man, follow
ed by evil associations, is succeed
ed by a violation of the law of the
land, and ends by placing him in
the penitentiary.
The friends of his mother now
bending beneath the weight of
years, and his brothers who are
leading honorable and useful lives
tender their sympathy to them in
such a grievous sorrow, that would
NOT have come upon them, had this
unfortunate youth followed their
c~ounsels.

An American Who Didn't Want to Fight.

An American student at Gottingen,
the son of prominent New York
clergyman, unintentionally gave oflense
to three German students by brushing
against them in hurriedly passing along
the street. They went or few steps,
then came back aud insisted on having
satisfaction for the insult; he must fight
duel with one Of their number. He
declined, saying, Il am an American; /
do not fight" But they repeated. I'VE
must have satisfaction" He replied.
We'll, if you must, you can have it, y
and, throwing off his coat, went at them
with his fists. He knocked all three
down and one of them rolled in the
gutter. Then, putting on his coat, he
walked away. Somewhat bewildered
over the situation, the three German
students picked themselves up and
went their way. The American was

Two Queer Russian DuelS.

While gentlemen in Russia shoot
each other with pistols or pierce each
other with swords, the common folk
settle their troubles in their own way.
Near Kalish two Polish peasants, black
smiths by trade, had to settle the ques-
ton which one of them should have girl
with whom both were in love- With
ont much ado they armed themselves
with the heaviest hammers they had,
and began the fight. The one swung
his dreadful weapon straight ut the
head of his antagonist, but the latter
skillfully avoided the blow, and then
in his turn he swung his hammer and
crushed the head of his rival. He got
the girl.
In the Crimea two Tartars quarreled
on account of their common sweetheart,
and they agreed to settle their troubles
in their own way. Without any artifi-
cial weapons, they met each other as
the bucks do, striking each other with
their foreheads. They made half a
dozen rounds blood flowed from both
of them, yet neither of the Tartars
would yield. After another furious
round, one of them fell down exhaust
ed. Being crazed by defeat, he drew
his knife and cut his throat on the spot.
The winner, crowned with a wreath of
bumps, repaired to his sweetheart,
whom he now possesses alone.
