THIBODAUX HOLIDAY

The Twenty third Annual Parade
OF the Thibodaux Fire Department,
TOOK place, last Wednesday, April
10 inst and proved to be equal in
interest and enjoyment TO those Of
past years.
The Engines were haudsome,v
decorated by the skilful hands Of
their lady friends, and when in line
presented a beautiful panorama to
the eye of the spectator.
At two O'Clock, p. NJ, the pro
cession moved from Court House
square, along the line indicated in
the programme, eniivened by the
various bands Of music, and proceed
ed BY a gallant troop of marshals
mounted on fine horses, whilst the
firemrn clothed in their elegant
uniforms, added greatly to the mag
n'ficence of the long procession.
A band of music fiOm Lockport.
made its first appearance in Thibo
daux, at the head of the Hook d
Ladder Co., and attracted consider
able attention. for the fine music it
played along the route.
When the Parade dismissed. the
different companies marched about
town serenading their various
friends and patrons, until the going
down of the sun.
We return thanks to the gallant
firemen for the serenado with
which they honored the SENTINEL
Office.
The ball 10 the Firemen.s Hall
was an elegant entertainment.
The large Hall was filed with the
beauty Of Lafourche, Assumption
and Terrebonne, who enjoyed them
selves in the gay festivities until
a late hour of the night.
Taking it all in all, the Firemen,
the citizens, and the visitors will
all have kindly membranes of
the Firemenis Anniversary, and re
greet that such pleasant days only
come once q year.

About six months ago whilst a
colored man name Belt and q wO
mar were walking home, along the
public road, a short distance above
Jefftles Foundry, in front of the
Coulou plantation, ut about 9 or
10 o'clock, p. NJ, they were attack
ed by two negroes, who knocked
Belt senseless, and committed an
Infamous assault upon the woman.
Some parties appearing, the rufians
escaped. A few weeks after, one
of the villains, came to Thibodaux
by rail. On landing ut the depot,
in which he remained, a boy dis
covered him, and told Belt who
happened to be- near by, that the
man who had knocked him down,
was in the depot. Belt immediate
" sought Legendre, the Town Con
stable, who, together proceeding to
the depot, arrested him aud placed
him in Jail.
On last Wednesday he was tried
in the District Court, before a jury.
1t did not take the jury 10 minutes
to return into court with a verdict
OF "guilty'. The evidence was so
plain and indisputable, and the act
so barbarous and outrageous, that
the villain may be thankful that its
lnfamy was not known to the pub
lie previous TO the trial. He is now
In irons and will .hus await his
doom.
His accomplish is supposed to be
his brother, and has not been arres
ted. He calls himself VIM. Mckin

/. WATER!-WATER!

On last Friday night, April II,
1884. the rain fell in heavy showers
that caused the water in the over
flowed Districts to rise consider
ably. The protection levees on the
Laurel Valley plantation, and Rous
seau's plantation in the Vacherie
Livaudais Dugue gave way, and ad
mitted the foods into those fine
fields.
TN Saturday and Sunday small
rises were reported on both sides of
the Bayou.
Ou Monday evening, however,

vase slowly but steadily moves up
the swamps, spreading outward on
to the rear lands of the plantations
both in Lafourche and st. James.
On Wednesday the rumor that
the rise had ceased West of us ap
pesred to have proven correct,
and that the worst was known in
the valley between the Lafourche
and the Teche. The water had

Thursday Hon. j. S. Perkins from
Assumption reports that the water
West of Lafourche was falling and
the newsall along the line indicated
that the worst is over in the basin
between Lafourche and the Teche.
Lockport visitors state that the
water was rising considerably East
of that place aud the rise continues
all the way up the Bayou.
MeSsrs Kraemer and Hotard re
mort a rise of about two inches per
day in the .Malagay settlement,
with the ridge covered about five
feet deep. Work was begun on the
Jamison crevasse, which ought to
