SUGAR SouIBs.-The planters have had
another week of first-rate weather, though
the rain Of last Saturday made the roads
heavy for hauling.
Capt Nolan has run all his cane through
the mill at st. Elizabeth plantation, bat it
win require several days more to finish
boiling and working up the second and
third sugars.
Mr.. Cofeld's Point Roumas mill con-
cluded its lakors for the season Friday
evening, bot Mr.. Cofeld does not wish to
give statement Of the crop until the sugar
has al been dried and barrelled. We have
70 estimate of Capt. Nolan crop either.
At the present rate of progress grinding
will be concluded on Mr.. james Teller's
Riverside and Messrs. Lemann d Hanson's
Belle Terre places in about ten Gays. Mr..
Teller's sugar-house had narrow escape
from destruction by fire Saturday night,
the 18th inst. An oyerheated fue set fire
to the boiler shed, and il required brisk
work on the part of the hands employed in
the building to extinguish the flames. The
shed was pulled down, however, and the
progress Of the destructive element ar
rested. We hear that Mr.. Teller's yield will
aggregate about soc, coo pounds and that of
the Belle Terre place about 100000.
Work has been brought to standstill
at the Belle Alliance mill by the breaking
Of spur wheel. It will require nearly a
week to obtain new wheel from the city
and get it into place. In from ten days to
two weeks after the resumption Of opera
tions the seasons labors will be finished at
Belle Alliance.
Another accident has taken place at Mr..
Beirns's New Hope mill. The top Of the
steam chest blew off sand operations were
suspended to await the arrival of new
piece from the city.
The mill at Mr.. Buckner's Crescent
plantation has finished its labors, but the
work of drying sugar will continue several
days longer.

We hear that Mr.. j. 8. Burbank, the
the young gentleman who was employed
as salesman in the house of Mrs. NJ. Isra-
ell & Co., come months ago, thinks of Open
ing skating rink in Phoenix Hall at an early
day. Under the management of such an
ahfable and popular director, this enterprise
would no doubt prove highly successful.
Our community developed a decided fond
ness for roller skating last spring when the
mercury was away up the scale, and as the
exhilarating amusement is much moro
pleasurable in cool weather than warm, it
ought to become all the rage during the
winter.

rolling season. Several of the local players

halfway game. With the termination OF
the sugar making season, We shall look for

The signal service station at Coushatta
proves itself q pretty good prophet. A severe
frost invariably follows the appearance of the
fag.-coushatta Citizen.
In Donaldsonvilie the reverse of these
propositions would hit the nail squarely on
the head. Our Old Probabilities doesn't
prophesy worth second hand tinker's OBJ
struction. Every time the frost flag is run
up we don't have any frost and on the only
occasions when venerable Jack has shown
us his white face the flag pole surrounding
the liver foundry has been as bare as bill
lard cue. Then the possible freeze ban
ner that has been displayed two or three
times invariably proved precursor of
milders weather, and people who donned
their overcoats in anticipation of a cold
wave would have felt quite as comfortable
in seersucker suits, with palm leaf fan and
ice water trimmings. We shouldn't be
surprised if the party who telegraphs us
our weather is bit of an Irishman, since
his predictions 60 by contraries.

The Observation-Disclosures the heavy
rain that fell Saturday afternoon and con-
tinued until almost dark.-a large crowd Of
people focked to the big tent Of Barrett 4
Co.'s circus. We have heard the atten-
dance variously estimated between 1900 and
1000, and there were many in this large
audience who had come through rain and
mud from long distances in The surround
ing country to see the show. The ring
performance was very fair, all the acts
being of an interesting character and we'll
executed. The usual concert took place
| after the main show and fully thousand
people remained to be victimized by an
entertainment even below the usual stan
| dard, attended by a pretended distribution
| Of silver prizes among ticket holders that is
| most transparent fraud. The only win
| nsrs were couple of "pikers connected
| with the show. The menagerie had fair
| showing of animals, including three ele-
plants, half dozen camels and the usual
complement of lions and smaller animals.
The street parade during the forenoon was
one of the best features of the show and il
an advertisement that can scarcely fail te
: draw big crowd anywhere.

IT seems hard to realize II but II is q
fact that the United States Census.
which was taken In the month Of May,
in the year 1880, has not yet been issued
in complete form, certain fragmentary
statistics being the utmost which have
thus far reached the taxpayer. As re-
spects California, at least, when these
statistics shall al last reach us. they will
really DO no longer uoeful for any earth
ly purpose. Combining ourselves to Los
Angeles county, for example, the city
has increased from eleven thousand and
several hundred inhabitants TO over
twenty-five thousand since May, 1850,
and the county has grown in almost
equal ratio. Bureaucracy, which Is de-
veloping at an unheard of rate at Wash
ingtop, is doubtless responsible for this
unconscionable delay. The gentlemen
who have charge Of this work may possi-
bly, have made up their minds to string
the job out 10 the next census, thus as
suring themselves good living and inn
munity from those anxieties of life which
beset those who have to do full days
work before they handle the per diem
which keeps the wolf from tho door.
