EoLoRED Boy DRowNED.-Dr. Duffel was
called upon Thursday to hold an inquest
on the body of Edward Joseph, colored
boy about eight years of age, who was
drowned in the river in front of the eau
din plantation, mile below Donaldson
Eille. After inauiring into the circum-
stances, the Coroner's jury came to the
conclusion that there was no doubt that
death had been caused by asphyxia result
ing from immersion and that the boy had
accidentally slipped into the river. The
body was recovered near the bank and was
taken in charge and buried by the lads
relatives.

NJ. 3. CHURCH CULLINGS.-At the recent
annual conference of the M. E. Church of
Louisiana, Rev. Pierre Landry of Donald
sonville was continued in his position as
Presiding Elder of the Baton Rouge dis
trict, and Rev. William Smith was assigned
for service another year as pastor of the st.
Peter Church in this town. Rev. F. D.
Bowers succeeds Rev. P. F. Robinson as
pastor of the Gilbert Haven Church in OAR

to another field. Rev. Charles D. Shallow
horne, formerlya citizen of Donaldson
vile, has been transferred from jackson,
East Feliciana parish, to New Iberia, a
much more important point.

forms part is Rev. Emperor Williams, and
this gentleman is now in our parish, hav-
ing come up from the city last evening for
the purpose Of presiding at the quarterly

be held at that place. Mr.. Bowers, the
new pastor, has invoked the cooperation of
the members of his congregation in an
effort to raise sufficient means to finish the
building, and they hope to accomplish
their object at an early day. Each mem

WATCHMAKERs AND JEWELLERS. - There
are few persons indeed who do not some
times have occasion to employ the services
of a matchmaker and jeWeller or to make
purchases from among the various articles
of ornament add utility in which such an
artisan deals. Therefore, we are justified
in assuming that large proportion of our
readers are directly interested in the ad
Vertlsement of a new firm which appears
in the CHIRF this week. We refer to the
card of Messrs. f. L. Trepagnier Il Bro,
who are located on Mississippi street, next
door to the post-o6ice, and who are doing
a thriving business in their line. Mr.. FL.
Trepagnier, the senior partner, has been
established here about two years, and by
his excellent workmanship and agreeable
manner of dealing with his customers, he
has gained such liberal patronage that it
became necessary for him to procure an
assistant to enable him to handle all the
trade offered. He has therefore formed
co-partnership with his brother, Mr.. 8
J. Trepagnier, and these young men, con-
stituting the firm of F. L. Trepagnier &
Bro, are now prepared to execute prompt
" and in the best manner all orders for
cleaning or repairing watches, clocks or
jewellery. They sell such articles at lowest
prices, and purchase old gold and silver,
second hand clocks, watches, etc., or take
them in exchange for new goods on terms
most favorable to the customer.

PoLITIcAL POINTS. The Republican nom
mating convention for the Eighth Senatori-
al District will meet at Darrowville on Mon
day, but will probably adjourn from there

reported there will be two sets of delegates
from st. James claiming recognition.
The delegates to the Republican Judicial
convention will also meet at Darrowyille
tomorrow to agree upon the time and
place of holding the convention for the
nomination of candidates for District
Judge and District Attorney. It is under
stood that Judge Cheevers has no opposi-
ton for the first named position, but the
contest between Messrs. McCulIoh and
Earhart for the District Attorneyship
promises to be close and spirited.

Democratic parish committee, has given

Mack's mystery has been revealed at last.
His Favorite Exchange, on Chetimaches
street near the court house, was opened to
the public this week, and already indica-
tons are manifest that it will become a
popular resort for purchasers of staple and
fancy groceries of all kinds, liquors, cigars,
tobacco, etc. The bar is room separate
from the grocery, an arrangement that will
meet the approval of the patrons of the
latter department. MIR. Leonard T. Duffel
is the proprietor and manager of this new
establishment, Mack" being nickname
he acquired in base ball circles number
of years ago. Heis courteous, painstaking
and afable young man, and he has many
friends who will be glad to see him do well
in this movement to establish business
on his own account. He proposes to keep
the best and cheapest goods and to give
the fullest satisfaction to all his patrons.
Give Mack's Favorite Exchange trial.
