Mr.. VIM. H. Davis of Hampton store,
Ascension parish, was married on Thurs
day last, at St. Augustine Church, New Or
leans, to Miss Marie Emily Jacquet of that
city. The ceremony was quiet one, at
tended by only few of the nearest friends
of the bride and groom, party OF whom
accompanied the happy couple on board
the steamer Pargoud which conveyed them
to their future home at Hampton store, on
the beautiful Point Houmas plantation
owned by Mr.. j. @. Cofeld, brother-in-law
of the groom. Friday afternoon Mr.. and
Mrs. Co6eld gave reception and banquet
in honor of the newly married couple, and
the occasion afforded rare enjoyment to q
numerous gathering of guests. The CHIEF
returns thanks for courtesies received from
friend Davis aud his charming bride in
connection with: their suspicious union,
ceeding day and yearso their married life
| happier and more prosperous than its pre-
decessor. The groom is one of the most
esteemed, popular and genial young citi-
zens of our parish and could not draw a
prize in the matrimonial lottery that would
be of greater value than his merits deserve;
and, from all accounts, he and the bride
stand on equal ground in this regard. The
| marriage seems verify one of those which
are planned in heaven-a joining together
of youthful hands and hearts made for each
other. May its early promise be amply full
filled in long life of peace, bliss and con-
tentment. A.G .-".

TOWN POLITICS.

g As thp date the ANIMAL town election
appreache The mApicipsI polite pot begins
Is simmer With hoorly increasing vigor'
and it is not unlikely that in the course OF
another week it will be boiling furiously.
The presumption has been that AL or near
~ all the present town officials would be
candidates for reelection upon one ticket,
and "citizens and tax payers" move
ment has consequently been organized
npon an announced anti administration y
basis, to prevent il possible tho retention
in ofice Of the men who are charged with
gross acknowledgement of the affairs OF the
corporation during the past year. 5t '5'5''
The friends of Mayor Maurin opened the
ball with torchlight parade in his honor
last Monday night. The st. Joseph brass
and Conway field bands we're both en-
ployed for the occasion, and the paraders
made the welkin ring with martial music
and cheers for their favorite candidates
The opposition followed this demonstra-
ton with public meeting at the Court
house Thursday evening, the proceedings
of which We publish in full in another col
umn. To the surprise of many, two mem
bers OF the administration-the Collector
and Treasurer-were endorsed for re6lec-
ton, and ss only three nominations were
made, it would appear that an observance
of the same ratio in completing the ticket
wonld reduce the proclaimed anti-adminis-
tration issue to rather too fine point to
be provocative of much interest or enthu-
siasm. It seems to have been ascertained,
however, that one of the candidates just
referred to has declared himself not in sym
patty with the reform movement, and is
likely to be given the grand bounce at the
adjourned meeting of next Thursday even
ing.
The leaders of the apti-administration
party seem thoroughly in earnest, and are
uttering criticism and comment upon the
record of the incumbent officials of a char
acter that affords meagre latitude for hon
orable or manly rscantation, yet the air is
laden with rumors of conference and COM
promise, and We have heard the opinion
that election day will find the
warning factions united in a quiet if not a
happy family-in other words, that infiu-
ences which have proved potent on former
occasions will be brought to bear upon the
opposition leaders to force them into 81
lence and submission. Nous rerrons.

BASE BALL.-The Fortiers and Nolans
of Donaldsonville played consolation
game at the Nolan park last Sunday after
noon, to fill up the gap caused by the post
ponement of the Young Ladies' Nolan
game for one week. The score by innings
was RS follows: 4
Fortiers, % @ s II ! 3 g,
Umpire-W. l.. Tearney.
BcOrers-J. Il. Blum for FOrtiers. w. g..
Wilkinson for Nolans.
The Nolans we're crippled by the absence
of their regular catcher and the disability
of their pitcher, and although they seemed
up to the fifth inning to have a walk-oyer
in prospect, the Fortiers put on their bat
ting suits from that time to the end of the
game aud fairly paralyzed their opponents.
The pitching OF Master Castaigne!9of the
Fortiers was very effective and he was we'll
supported by one of the strongest teams
the club has ever had in the field. The
contest between the Nolans aud Fortiers
for the local championship promises to be
unusually close aud spirited this season.
The game between the SYoung Ladies
Club and the Nolans will be played before
this issue of the CHIEF is printed. ,4
The Lonsdales of New Orleans are ex-
pected here on the 18th inst, to CROSS bats
with the Nolans, but it is not positively
known that the city team is coming. II
this game is not played, the Nolans may
go to Plaquemine to play with the Viguets.
