MURDOCK'S LIQUID FOOD.

We wish to mention few facts in relation to this
valuable preparation 1t is one of the ARTICLES in
ou- large stock that have not been solicited to
purchase, as the manufacturers solicit no business
beyond what the physicians create, and the demand
Is increasing all the time Three years ago we were
selling few cases; now, in the same length of
time, we are selling as many hundred cases. 1t is
the only Raw food Extract known and it is render
ed as high as tG can be retained in solution making
teaspoonful equal to about one half pound of COM
mon food, and can be retained by the stomach when
80 weak as to refuse water. 1t is excellent in fevers
as the fruits relieve the meats of their heating prop
critics, and combined, supply sufficient nourishment
TO sustain the system which prevents a relapse of
the patient. 1t is valuable for all chronic diseases
as it will make blood faster than all preparations
known, and that will cleanse the system of disease
For infants that not thrive well on their food the
advice of the Murdock Liquid Food Company is not
to change the food but add five to twenty drops of
the Liquid Food, and the change in a few DAYS will
warrant the abandonment of all other food (see Ia
bel en- each bottle). The company, to confirm its
value, have established two free hospitals one for
infants under four months old of fifty beds and
they keep them one year free of expense except
clothing. Their object is to reduce the mortality
from cholera infantum, teething and Weaning, as
there is not known for three years of child
having cholera infantum when fed with LIQUID
Food or dying from it when treated by physician,
The womans hospital contains thirty beds free
from one to six months for any case that will not
yield to treatment of their physician by his giving
letter relative to the case The company do not
wish the same for publication but for reference for
the physician, enabling them to treat other patients
by the same treatment

AN lSoIPIBNT CREvAssE.-We omitted to
report in last weeks CHIEF that during
Friday night, the 7th inst, water was dis
covered flowing through cut in the Bayou
Lafourche levee at the foot of Chetimaches
street, in Donaldsonville, and that con-
siderable excitement and alarm prevailed
in the vicinity until an examination of the
supposed break showed that it could be
readily closed and that there was no ground
to fear any sudden enlargement of the OPEN
ing. The cut had long been used by lug
germen as a convenient place for drawing
their boats ashore for calking or other re-
pairs and again launching them into the
bayou, and az the levee is an old one the
earth is 30 compact that it would resist the
action of the water some time before be-
coming so softened IS to crumble and give
way. A number of residents of the neigh
borhood, mostly colored men, promptly re-
paired to the scene of danger in response
to an alarm rung upon the bell of the little
steamer Caney Fork, which is moored in
the vicinity, and in short time, by vigor-
GUS work with shovels and MISCELLANEOUS,
they had the cut filed with earth and the
flow of water through it effectually arrested.
Mr.. Jean Fevrier, our efficient street con-
tractor, was notified of the alarm and was
soon on the scene directing the work in
hand. which was speedily completed under
his competent supervision.

DISTRICT CouRr.-The March term OF
the Twenty second judicial District Court
tor the parish of st. James was open ed on
the first Monday of the month, and after a
few civil matters of minor importance had
been disposed of adjournment until the
next regular session in May was ordered.
According to the rules of the court this
should have been criminal term, but the
Commissioners failed to draw jury, thus
rendering it impossible to consider crimi-
nal business, excepting in such cases as
the accused might elect to waive their
right of trial by jury. A special jury term
was to have been opened in our own parish
next Monday, the 18th inst, but the p resi-
dent of the Police Jury, the parochial and
municipal health officers and several mem
bers of the bar have petitioned Judge
Cheevers to order its adjournment and he
has decided to grant the request. A panel
OF fifty jurors for the first week of the pro-
posed special term and thirty for the Sec
ond week had been drawn by the Jury Com
missioners. Although the services of these
citizens will not be called into requisition,
those who report at the courthouse in
obedience to the notices served upon them
by the Sheriff will receive one days pay
and mileage. The next term of court will
be civil one, and will open on the first
Monday in April. No regular criminal
term will be held until September.

SMALL Pox.-There are still few cases
of small pox in Smoke Bend and Port
Barrow, but the existence of the disease no
longer excites such a general feeling of
dread and apprehension as recently pre-
vailed. Donaldsonvilie has been entirely
free of the malady for some weeks, but two
cases have made their appearance this
week, one being an old colored woman in
a cabin adjoining the house of James Nc
Cray, on Conway street, and the other a
child of Camille Collins, also colored, on
Houmas street, near the st. Peter NJ. E.
Church. Both are in the heart of the To-
cality last infected with the disease, and if
ordinary precautions are observed to pre-
vent contagion there will be no reason to
fear any serious revival of the disease in
our town. There have been several spo-
radio cases on two or three plantations in
the parish, but we believe these have all re-
covered and that the localities above named
are the only ones in Ascension still afflicted
by the presence of the malady.
The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1884-03-15

FoR REPREsENTAT1vE.-Mr. Benajah Glib
son, one of the most prominent public
spirited and popular planters and citizens
of this parish, has announced himself an
Independent candidate for election as a
member of the House of Representatives
from Ascension, and none who know him
will doubt the earnestness and truth of his
declaration that he will, if elected, serve the
public interests to the best of his ability.
Mr.. Gibson is a native of Mississippi, but
has resided in this parish most of his life
and there are few men among us whose
circle OF acquaintance is as wide as his, or
who can boast an equal number of friends
among all classes of our people, white and
black, rich and poor. His large interests
as sugar planter, rice planter and the
owner of lands which he is selling out in
village lots and small farms to white and
colored persons of limited means mostly
laborers-identify him peculiarly with the
welfare and progress of the entire popula-
ton, while his familiarity with their af-
fairs and needs would fit him in an emf
nent degree to legislate understandingly
for their benefit. Notwithstanding the
heavy Republican majority in this parish,
Uncle Ben," as his friends love to cali
him, will doubtless prove dangerous op-
ponent to. the Republican no minee, and
were we in the latter's placs, Mr.. Gibson is
one OF the last men in the parish we should
wish to have for competitor.

The first intimation the editor of the
CHIEF received of the fact that he and his
elder brother had namesake in the eighth
ward of this parish, was conveyed by the
notice which we publish in another COL
umn of the death of little Linden Emerson
Broussard, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Solomon
and 0phelia e. Broussard, who succumbed
to an attack of scarlet fever on the 4th inst,
at the fender age of years, 10 months and
8 days. We deeply sympathize with the be-
reaved parents in their sad affection. The
child was nephew of our esteemed friend
81. Thompson Brown, Esq.

Mr.. Alfred Levy, formerly of Donaldson
vile and more recently employed as man
aging salesman in his brother-in-law g store
at Thibodaux, has removed to New Orleans
and is now occupying the position of sales
man in the large and we'll known house of
O. Lazard & Co., clothiers and furnishers,
at Nos. 20, 81 and 80 Canal street, corner
of North Peters. Alfred is polite and
agreeable young gentleman, and We have
no doubt he will become as popular with
the patrons of Messrs. Lazard & Co. as he
was with those of the house of Mrs. NJ.
Israel & Go. of Donaldsonville, where he
was employed for number of years.

SUGAR CONVENTION. space and
lack of time compels us to delay q report
of the proceedings of the sugar convention
until next week. The action of that body
seems to herald the opening of new era
in the politics Of Louisiana, in which our
sugar producers will throw of the yoke of
q party that opposes their material inter
ests and ally themselves with one that
promises American industries and; work
men protection against the pauper and
slave labor of other countries.

You don't know half the good things
kept in frst-class grocery until you have
visited an establishment like that of Mr..
Charles A. Maurin. Besides -four, lard.
butter, cheese, ham, shoulders, coffee, tea
and other staples Of the choicest and fresh
est quality, he keeps large assortment of
preserves, jellies, canned goods, pickles,
sardines, crackers and host of articles too
numerous to mention. Not only are his
articles the best in the market, but his
prices are so low he defes competition.

One of the best indications of the thriv-
ing business that is being done by the pop
ular young grocer, Mr.. Charles A. Maurin,
is that he is compelled to run down to the
city every two Or three weeks to replentish
these trips this week and has wealth of
good things to display to his customers in
consequence. He only deals in choice
goods and his prices are so. low that no
housekeeper need longer feel compelled to
use inferior articles through motives of
economy.
