The cowboys cure for snoring is
unique and eftectual if not soothing.
On the Utah * Northern last Sunday a
2OO-pound man lay snoring on two
facing seats. His roar had been heard
to the discomfort of car full all the
afternoon, At about p. N. cowboy
got on at one of the canyon stations.
He heard the fogh0rn with evident i'm
patience for about half an hour or SO.
when he stepped up to the sleeper and
sIid:
Say, stranger, stop that ar snort or
you'll get fired"
The cowboy was not large, but he
was full of guns and there was busi-
ness i'll his eye. The big man said
nothing, but lay still, and his sleep, if
he slept. was as quiet IS the slumber of
infancy.

loE!-Mr. Henry Cook, the enterprising
proprietor of the Donaldsonville ice-house.
has just received a barge containing six
hundred and forty tons of pure ice from
the Northern lakes which is now being
stored in his spacious building on Missis-
sippi street. and with which he proposes to
keep the people of Donaldsonviile and vi
cinity cool during the coming summer.
This is larger supply of ice than has
ever before been brought to our town, but
the demand has increased each season and
we believe Mr.. Cook will have no difficult
ty in disposing of the entire stock. Hewill
be prepared as heretofore to fill orders
from adjacent parishes and to make ship
ments promptly to all points along the
river coast or Bayou Lafourche at city
prices. The work of transferring the ice
from The barge to the ice-house will occupy
about week.

Town ELEoT1oN.-Mayor Maurin gives
notice by official proclamation that the an
nual election for town officers will be held
on the first Saturday of May, the 3rd
proximo. The polling places will be To-
Gated at the usual points-the first ward
poll at the courthouse, the second at the
market-house and the third at the corner of
st. Patrick and Mississippi streets. The
interest in the State and parish election has
almost completely overshadowed that in
the smaller municipal contest, but in the
interval between the two elections we may
expect that the customary degree of excite
ment and concern relative to the choice of
town officers will be developed. We have
heard the names of Messrs. V. Maurin.
Gustave Israel, W. G. Wilkinson and Pierre
Klopman mentioned in connection with
the Mayoralty, butit is stated that the last
named gentleman is not an aspirant and
would not accept the position. Messrs.
Jos. Gondran, John Solozano and John
E. Terrio are probable candidates for
Treasurer and Mr.. Joseph Thompson is in
the field for Constable. Collector Ramirez
will doubtless be reelected without much
opposition, and perhaps some competent
man can be found to run for Secretary, in
the hope that the new Council will repeal
the famous 1--WE had almost written infa-
nous ordinance adopted last year reducing
the compensation of the Secretary and
Constable to ridiculous minimum as a
means of Furnishing certain individuals for
their temerity in presuming to contend
that the people had a right to elect their
officers Notwithstanding the ipse dirit of
our political bosses to the contrary.
