The boat is to be propelled by a screw, SC geared that it can be made to turn by horses or mules in circle in their stables in the boat The inventor claims that abundant power can be had in this manner, and that large saving can be effected, particularly in river towing bills, and by the reduction of help; that 1t would be cheaper than the present method of towing, even though no better time were made; but he is confident that four or five miles an hour can be accom- plished.

The LAFoURcHB MFLL.-One of The most
popular business institutions in this vicin-
ity is the Lafourche saw-mill, owned by
Messrs. Alfred Esneault Il Sons and To-
Gated on the right bank of Bayou La
fourche, few hundred feet below the head
Of that stream, in the village Of Port Bar.
row. Four fatboats have been loading
with lumber there this week, designed for
shipment to various points along the river
and bayou in this and adjacent parishes.
About GO, 200 feet were shipped last week,
and up to Wednesday of the current week
orders had been received for $1,000 more
This is an Indication that the proprietors
of the Lafourche mill must be prepared to
supply lumber as cheaply as it can be pro-
cured anywhere else. Besides filling nu-
merous orders from the surrounding coun-
try, they are saving the lumber for the new
job boat being constructed for the owners
of the Caney Fork, and have turned out
pieces 81 feet in length, which is said to
exceed the capacity of any other mill in
this section. Orders left at the Lafourche
mill or addressed to Messrs. Esneault g.
Sons through the Donaldsonville post-of1ice
will always have the premptest and most
careful attention.

A DELIGHTFUL DANcE.-An impromptu
hop took place at Phoenix Hall Tuesday
evening of last week which was highly
agreeable entertainment. Mr.. Welmam
Bradford was the originator and prime
mover of the affair, and he secured the CO.
operation of about thirty of the young men
of the town and vicinity, who extended a
general invitation to their lady friends and
were rewarded by large attendance of
the fair sex, representatives of the best
society of Ascension, st. James and AS
sumption parishes, and including several
young ladies from New Orleans. Dancing
was continued to q late hour and all the par
Elephants derived full need of enjoyment,
nothing transpiring to mar the smooth pro-
gress of the festivities from the opening to
the close. Much of the credit for the sue
cessful conduct of the affair must be ac-
corded to Messrs. Prosper Landry, Tuite
Hanson and Leo Geenwood, who acted as
general managing committee. Mrs.
M. A. Gaudet furnished the music, which
was of the best order, and Mr.. Gervais
Gauthreaux supplied the refreshments,
consisting of ice cream, sherbet, lemonade,
cakes and ice cream of a quality hard to
exceIled. It was matter of general regret
among the guests that Mr.. Bradford was
called away to Rapides parish on business
and could not remain to take part in the
entertainment he was primarily instru-
mental in getting up.

A special meeting of the Police Jury has
been called for Wednesday next, and we
understand that the principal business to
be transacted will be to provide for the bud
get of approximate parochial expenditures
tor the current year. In view of the large
amount of money expended in raising and
strengthening the levees of the parish, it is
probable that the usual rate of parochial
taxation-ten mills on dollar-will not be
reduced this year, bns in 1855 reduction
may be looked for unless necessity shall
arse IN the meantime for extraordinarily
heavy disbursements.

HANDSOME KESIDENCE.-In0 0teRAuV
residence OF our friend and neighbor Mr..
Christian Kline has been completed and
we understand that the owner and his FAM
lily will take formal possession Of their new
home Tuesday morning. The occasion
will prove doubly pleasant by reason OF the
fact that it will be the anniversary of Mrs.
Hines birthday. The building is one of
the handsomest and best appointed in Dom
jacksonville, having been constructed and
finished by bricklayers, carpenters, skaters,
plasterers and painters whose work proves
them to be mechanics of the. first class. The
foundation and the chimneys were built by
Mr.. Nathan Hayes; the wood work was done
by Messrs. A. q. Buist and Jos. Dudenhefer;
the slate roof was put on by Mr.. r. Hellbach
Of New Orleans, and Mr.. James Bond OF
the same city was the plasterer; the out
side painting and that of the interior OF the
upper portion of the building was executed
by Mr.. Louis Walto, while the skillful brush
Of Mr.. Thomas Donion ornamented the inte-
rior of the apartments on the first floor in
style that challenges comparison and en-
hances the already high reputation of the
artist. We had the pleasure of making a
tour of inspection through the building
the other evening, and although We had
expected to see something considerably
above the average, our anticipations fell
short Of the reality. The parlor, which
forms the lower front corner Of the res
idence, is spacious, handsome apartment,
finished in imitation of French walnut,
with burl panels aud gold trimmings, and
having large bay window with four pairs
Of Venetian blinds. Immediately back of
the parlor is the dining room, finished in
imitation of English black oak. The To-
cation and finishing of the other apart
ments DIRE as follows: hall, running through
centre of the building to rear of staircase
maple, with base board of imitation
Egyptian marble and front door Of oak
with burl panels; front bedroom, upper
side, imitation American walnut; centre
room, upper side, imitation plain walnut;
rear room, upper side, oak, with mantel-
piece of imitation black and gold and
Egyptian marbles; bath room, pantry and
store room back of the hall and dining
room, oak. Up stairs there is hall and
and three spacious rooms, one formed by the
dormer window, which is OF unusually large
size. Ali the mantelpieces in the house
are excellent limitations of dark marbles,
The walls are as white as snow, forming
a pleasing contrast with the tasteful colors
in which the several apartments are fin
ished. Attached to the rear Of the main
building on the Iberville street side is a
neat wing containing two, rooms, one in
tended for a kitchen, the other for a house.
keepers bedroom. The external appear
ance of the residence is rendered very at
tractive by ornamental woodwork, fine
slate roof and the skill with which the house
painter performed his work.
