FAREWELL, MAR1E.-In writing of the
Smokey entertainment, last week, we en-
tirely overlooked one of the principal fea-
lures of the Thursday night concert-the
singing of that touching ballad farewell,
Marie, by quartette composed of Messrs.
Dave Rattray, Jno. T. Terrio, Jos. NJ. Keat-
ing and A. j. Reynolds. The song was rem
dered in an excellent manner, calling forth
hearty applause after each verse. Even
three verses were not enough to satisfy the
audience and an encore was demanded. The
young gentlemen forming the quartette
have reason to pride themelves On the sue
cess of their almost extemporaneous must
cal effort, while Mr.. Reynolds, the author
of the beautiful ballad, is to be congratu-
lated upon this new evidence of the popu-
larity of his composition.

The clstern made by Mr. John P. Forcha
of this town and by him placed in rattle for
the benefit of the Charity Hospital fund
was won by Mr.. Richard 7. Hanson, Jr.,
manager of the Belleterre sugar plantation.
The drawing took place at the store of
Messrs. B. Lemann & Brother, last Sunday
afternoon, under the supervision of Messrs.
James Fortier and Desire Landry, the num-
bers and blanks being drawn from the hats
by Masters Charles and Gabriel Rybiski.
No. 30 drew the prize. Upon learning that
he held the lucky number, Mr.. Hanson at
once desired that the cistern should be
again ratified off for the same benevolent
purpose, and Messrs. R. N. Sims, E. n.
Pugh and Jos. M. Heating consented to act
as committee to superintend the drawing.
The cistern is valued at $50, as before, and
there are 100 tickets at % cents each. The
net proceeds of the first rattle were $1s, and
this amount Mr.. Forcha has forwarded
to Mr.. Edwin Marks, secretary and treas
urer of the Charity Hospital building and
sewerage fund, at New Orleans.

| DEATH OF VIM. HAMLToN The sad intel
ligence was received here by telegram,
yesterday evening, of the death of Mr.. Wm.
Hamilton of New Orleans, son-in-law of
| Widow A. ). Sharp and brother-in- law of
| Mrs. g. Kline and Mrs. Victor Maurin of
Donaldsonville. The telegram was dated
| at New Orleans, addressed to Mr.. G. Kline
and signed by Messrs. Edwards & Haubt-
man, by whom Mr.. Hamilton was en-
ployed. No particulars regarding the
mournful event are given, the wording of
the dispatch being, "Wm. Hamilton died
at o'clock to-day. Come Immediately. :"
We tender our deep sympathy to the be-
reaVed young widow and relatives whose
hearts will be SO sorely tried by this great
and sudden calamity. The blow has fallen
upon them with cruel une4pectedness, as
Mr.. Hamilton was in perfect health when
his relatives here last heard of him, a few
days ago: and the inference is that his death
was caused either by an accident or some
such natural ELECTION as heart disease or
apoplexy. Deceased was most estimable
gentleman IN every respect, and was es-
teemed and admired by all who knew him.
SMALL Po1.-Again we have the satisfac-
ton of reporting decided decrease in the
number of small pox cases in our town,
and this time we hope the promise of the
disappearance of the disease from our COM
munity will be realized. We learn from
DR.. j. ID. Hanson, one of the municipal
Health Officers, that of the cases reported
in the CHIEF last week three have recovered,
one died and three are yet under treat
ment. The latter are as follows:
Cecile Shallowhorne, st. Patrick street,
opposite the Jewish cemetery;
Emile Henry, st. Michael street, near st.
Patrick
- Mcintyre, Lessard street, near St.
Michael.
These cases are all in houses where the
disease had previously existed. The one
death mentioned was that Of young Auguste
Conway, son of the late Auguste Conway,
Sr., the old fifer of the field band of the
Cannoneers of Donaldson Young Auguste
was well behaved boy, well liked by all
who knew him, and this fatal result of his
illness is much regretted. He was a valued
member of tile True Friends Benevolent |
Society and of the St. Josaph Brass Band.

ASSAULT AND RoBBERY.-Messrs. George
Thurman, section foreman on the Texas
and Pacific road, and Pete Becker, one Of
the workmen in Mr.. Thurman's gang, were
stopped by Negro highwayman, last Sun
day night, opposite the sugar-house of the
Peytavin plantation, just outside of Don
aldsonville, while on their way down the
railroad to the section house in St. James,
AZ miles below here. The Negro pointed
revolver towards the travellers and comman-
ded them to halt and hold up their hands,
then compelled them separately to turn
their pockets inside out. Fortunately, nei
ther of the men had any money on their
persons, though the highwayman was 10th
to believe their assertion to this effect. He
declared that they must have some as they
had been paid off the day before, and was
not satisfied until he had compelled Mr..
Thurman to pull off his shoes and show that
there was nothing concealed in them.
Becker objected to going through a similar
operation, end the highwayman, enraged by
the failure to "make a raise" knocked
Becker down and took his silver watch and
chain, the only articles of value in his pos
session at the time. The railroad men did
not recognize their assailant and no clue to
his identity has since been obtained. The
watch and chain were purchased at the store
of Mr.. F. Leroy, and may yet be the means
of leading to the detection of the robber.

county, North Carolina, where they pro-
pose to spend a couple of weeks. One rea-
son for the trip is that the Doctors venera-

his hip, and his advanced age gave rise to
some uneasiness as to the result of the &C
cident. We are pleased to learn, however,
that the old gentleman is not now consid-
cred dangerously hurt, and we trust the
Doctor will have the satisfaction of nurs
ing him back to health and strength. To
the Doctor and family we wish an enjoya-
BILE trip. Mrs. McGaliard has relatives
at Warm Springs, and will take advantage
of the opportunity to visit them before re-

On Monday last, District Judge Cheevers
examined the charges of embezzlement
preferred against DR.. G. T. Jamison by
Mr.. W. t. Harden and Rev. Isaiah Lawson.
Mr.. Harden left here on the steamer Kile,
Sunday morning, bound for his home in
Indiana, and it being evident he would not
return, his complaint was dismissed In
the other case an appearance bond of S25
was fixed and furnished Mr. G. Kline sign
ing as surety. After the release of the ac-
cused he held a conference with the Board
OF Missions whose property he was charged
with appropriating to his own use, and up
on his promise to make good the amount
claimed by the Board, it was agreed that
the complaint fled against him would be
Withdrawn. Dr.. Janlison has reopened his
little store and promises to make early set
Elements with his creditors. He takes ex-
ception to the report we mentioned last
week that he had collected money for sub
scriptions to the Chicago Morning and Day
Of Reform and failed to deliver the paper or
premium to subscribers. At our suggestion
he agreed to write to the publishers of the
paper for vindication. We have received
a letter from New Orleans charging the
Doctor with similar. crookedness commit
ted there in connection with another Chi
cago paper, but we propose to afford him
an opportunity to explain the matter before
the letter. If the accusation is
unjust, Dr. Jan1ison may count upon the
of the CHIEF in clearing his
skirts, but if aise-weH, otherwise.
