The sensation of the week has
been the openin. of a skating class,
in the Firemen's Hall, by Professor
Charles. On Monday night it was
free for all entrance in a 60 as you
please style, and the way the boys
wiped the dust off the floor was
not only interesting but amusing
to lockers on.
The hall makes u fine rink, aud
every young man and woman
should learn this healthy exercise
and splendid sport. There can be
no better sport, and whilst enjoy
ing themselves develop their forms
and limbs into a robust and vigo
rOus actiUn. We hope the enter
prise may prove a success.

On Saturday and Sunday, June
and s, the teachers and pupils Of
the Guion Academy will give "A
concer. and entertainment, in Fire
mems Hall. the proceeds of which
will be used in continuing the SEES
sion in that school. after the public
funds will be exhausted.
The fact that Mr.. E. A. O'Sulii
van has taken charge Of the concert
Is sufficient guarantee that it Will
be gotten up in first class Style
The funds to run the Guion Aca
deny are too small to give any
other than short sessions, so that
they must be supplemented by
other means.
This entertainment will furnish a
good opportunity for the friends OF
that school to materially aid it's Il
nances, and at same time have a
nice time in enjoying the festivities
incident thereto.
For the benefit of the little folks,
we understand that the flying hor
sees will be there, SO that they can
begin now to save their nickels for
q ride in that train of cavalry.
The old adage "laugh and grow
fat" is a good one at all times, but
especially in these hard times, the
other II of "laugh and drive dull
cares away" is peculiarly appropri
ate just now.

AN ADDITIONAL JUDGE FOR
THIS DISTRICT.

Notice is being published in this
paper that IN application will be
made to the General Assembly of
the State at its present session. to
create an additional Judge for the
twentieth judicial district, compo
sed of the parishes of Lafourche
and Assumption.
The Constitution, Art. no. pro
vi1es, "that the General Assembly
shall have power to increase the
number of district judges in my
district Whenever the public bust
ness may require"
1t will be seen therefore, that
the power of the legislature to
grant the request which will be
made to it in this case, is absolute.
subject only to the condition that
the public business shall justify it.
An inspection of the criminal dock
ct for this parish alone, will show
that, in spite Of the fact that Judge
knobloch has been exceeding ly at
tentive to his duty in holding court
for the whole period of each term.
there are now, on that docket, no
less than seveuty.six cases. There
are at least a dozen prisoners con
fined in Jail aud awaiting trial, and
this is a great burden to the tax
payers of the parish. An addition
al Judge to this district will admit
of terms being held frequently
enough to dispose of all the crimi
nal cases that may arise, and to
have that speedy punishment me
ted ont to criminals which alone,
will have the effect of striking ter
ror into evil.doers, and deter them
from breaking the law.
The parish of Assumption, no
doubt, can display a criminal dock
ct fully as large as that of La
fourche.
The criminal aud civil business
of the two parishes fully justities
the creation of an additional judge
in this judicial district. tits too one
rous a task to impose on one man.
The presidents are in our favor.
The legislature, by special act,
gave Caddo parish, with a popula
tion of twenty six thousand, an add
tional judge. Lafourche and AS
sumption have a population of thir
IT, six thousand, by the census OF
1880, ten thousand more than Cad
do, and are therefore, the more en-
titled to two Judges.
There is therefore. every reason
and consideration in favor of the
proposition to increase the number
of Judges in this judicial district,
and we hope the General Assem-
bly, will so view the matter.
