| FATAL SHooTrsG.-Andrew johnson, a
colored man who recently came to Assem-
sion from New Orleans, was shot and ia
| tally wounded on the 18th inst, by Abrer
| Harris, also colored, labofer employed
on the Mt. Houmas plantation in the eighth
justice ward of this parish. The alleged
| cause of the ARRAY was an illicit intimacy
between Harris and Jchnson's sister, and
refusal on the part of Harris to marry
the girl. Accounts Of the shooting differ
materially, the statement of Harris being
that he was met and halted CT the road
near the upper line of the Waterloo PLAZA
tation by Andrew johnson and his brother
Henry; that Andrew got down from his
horse and after a brief par1ey fred at him
with Il revolver: that he returned the Gre
from barrel of his shotgun charged with
No. 3 buckshot, striking Andrew in tie
stomach and face; that Henry Johnson ttea
drew revolver and fred at him, and he
shot Henry with fine shot from the other
barrel of his gun, wounding him slightly
on the body and hand. Andrew was con-
veyed to New Orleans and died at the res
idence of his brother in-law, G. Gerner,
the following Wednesday evening. A post
morten examination of the remains re-
vealed the presence Of twenty-sis buckshot
in the stomach, one in the right cheek and
one in the forehead. Harris made no at
tempt to escape, but was allowed to remain
at large after being brought before Justice
Fortune, who was in receipt of official no.
LITIGATION of Johnson's death. Kiah Pres
ton came to town on Monday aud made
an affidavit against Harris before Justice
Martinez, and Constable James McCray
promptly executed the warrant placed in
his hands Tor the arrest of the accused,
who is now confined in our parish jail.
Mr.. Bernard lemann and his bright and
handsome young son Ferdinand took their
departure last week for trip to Europe,

country Mr. Lemann will place his son in
one Of the celebrated colleges of the Moth

We regret to chronicle the destruction
by FIRE of the large single factory of
Messrs. A. Wilbert & Sons, at Plaquemine,
Friday night of last week, together with
about million shingles. The loss is
estimated at $4,000, while the insurance
is said TO be only $1,000. The fire broke
out about IL o'clock at night and its ORR
gin is not known but is believed to have
been accidental. The proprietors are
among The most enterprising citizens Of
Plaquemine, and we have no doubt they will
soon build new factory to replace the
one destroyed last week. -

youthful voice under iudicious culture.
She was accompanied ON the piano by her
cousin, Miss Mavor, whose accomplish
ments on the key board are far beyond the
power of our pen to portray.
Then we had a eornet and piano per-
Torrance by Mr.. and Miss Park, and anoth-
er by Mr.. Jno. Terrio and Miss Park. We
have all heard of Orpheus, how when he
played on the lutte, trees would bow their
heads in homage. Whether it was the re-
suit of enthusiasm, Or the consequence of
some liberal potation of diluted lemonade
or whether'it was veritable fact we can
not now exactly decide, but certainly we
left the shades of the Acadian grove of
classic Smoke Bend with an indelible i'm
preston on our optic nerves that in our
own degenerate days we had seen verified
one of the fabulous marvels of ancient
romance. The respective performances of
Messrs. Park and Terrio and the piano
accompaniment by Miss Park were simply
exquisite.
The young histrionic stars who probably
trod the boards for the first time gave us sam
pies of the best juvenile acting we have ever
witnessed by amateurs. They won golden
crowns of credit for their accomplished
impressarios, Mrs. Terrio and Mrs. Dodds
Their demeanor, acting and ges:iculation
were just perfection.
Mr.. Henry Comstock sang the "Dude"
in character, accompanied on the piano by
his talented sister, Miss Chlotilde Com
stock-and certainly Judging from the en-
thusiasm evoked among the gentler ele-
ment of the audience, the day when the
dude will be unpopular is in the remote fu-
ture. The charming melody" You are false
but I'll forgive you," was rendered with
incompatible effect by Miss Park and Mr..
Comstock. Both were pretty emphatic i'll
asserting their fidelity, and both, we are
sure, were really candid in their asseyera-
ton, but we heard some running common
tary on the subject in the crowd, to the
effect that if fallacy was possibly then
on the boards it certainly was not of the
feminine persuasion.
Mr.. Henry Terrio made q stump speech
which places him high in the lists of
humorous orators. We hope often to
profit by the Enthiopian craftsmanship,
political and social economy and philoso-
ply which he can expound with such ply
steal eloquence, after reeuperating his
vitalities."

tainments, but vs. have not enumerated

Mr.. Alfred Esneault, senior proprietor of
the Picayune and Lafourche saw-mills, has
returned from trip up the river made for
the purpose of procuring timber. he went
as far as Black river and in conjunction
with Mr.. w. G. Raglan of Thibodaux, pur-
chased several RATS, comprising 24OO logs
which. when lashed together, made the
largest raft'eyer brought out of Red river.
Mr.. Raglan takes 800 of the logs and Mr..
Esneault the remainder, one of the. latter's
RATS being ash. The timber arrived here
to-day, towed by the steamer Newcomb, and
the Picayune and Lafourche mills will be
at once set in full operation working the
logs up into lumber. The Improvements
in the Lafourche mill to which reference
was made by the Chief last week, will make
it one of the finest on the coast, and the
Picayune mill has an important addition
to its machinery in the shape of large
turning lathe to be used in the manufac-
tur'e of various implements. Peavine cut
tiers, for instance, can be repaired and
made as good as ever for one-half the cost
of new ones. The .dessrs. Esnault are
displaying great push ana enterprise in the
conduct of their business, and we shall ex-
pect them to reap still greater success in
the future than has attended them in the
past. -
