l.. E. BENTLEY, ESQ.,, EDITOR CHIEF:
Dear Sir--From your issue Of the 21st ult..
am glad to learn that measures have been
taken to organize branch of the Catholic
Knights of America in your town. 1t has been
tried once, but in vain. hope this second
trial will prove successful. Sacred Heart
Branch No. $40, Smoke Bend, is the only
branch in the parish, and since its organization
its members looked with great anxiety for
another to spring up, and trust in the course
| of time Ascension will show larger member
ship than any other parish except Orleans.
It is very important society; it not only
helps tho poor widows and the fatheress. but
above all, induces man to profess his religion
as he ought to. All the other societies have
succeeded 80 far. Why should not Catholic
societies succeed as we'll? Therefore, let all
| Catholics work with earnestness and zeal to
| build up this grand organization. Let our
! brother members interest themselves by bring
ing new members and by attending the meet
ings. ETC., and the coming year will see more
eati sfactory increase of membership III our

Mr.. Chas S. Gray informed US that,
during the two days he canvassed Donald
sonville and vicinity in the interest of the
rattle of his picture of ''rhe Boy Jesus i'll
the Temple" he placed 163 chances. He
will canvass the bayou country between
here and Thibodaux and expects to fill the
list of 400 numbers without trouble. Per-
sons who wish to contribute something for
the benefit of two orphan children and at
the same time secure chance to win
beautiful painting, can do so by forward
ing their names aud cash to Mr.. Gray
through the Paincourtville post-office, or
leaving them at the CHIEF Office. The pic
ture is valued at 800, and chances are %
cents each.
SHOOTING AFFRAY AT MCMANoR.-John
Archinard and VIM. Robinson, colored
men employed on Mr.. Richard McCall's
McManor plantation, in the second ward,
had quarrel last Sunday evening over a
game Of dice in which Archinard had lost
IS, and on the following morning. about
o'clock, resumed their dispute in the field.
Robinson advanced on Archinard with a
cane knife, whereupon Archinard fred at
his antagonist with a revolver, the ball en-
tering Robinson's breast just above the
right nipple, inflicting a wound that Is
considered extremely dangerous. Archl-
nard was promptly arrested, and Justice
Bush comm tied him to the parish jail to
await the result of Robinson's wound and
the action of the Grand Jury. The wound
ed man was resting badly at last accounts,
but he is being we'll cared for, and has the
benefit of DR.. McGalliard's skillful treat
menK hence if his injury is not necessarily
fatalthe chances of his recovery are good.
Holiday week will be enlivened in Don
aldson\ lille by grand fair to be given on
Saturday, Sunday and Monday, the 26th,
9th and 2Sth inst, on the grounds of the
Catholic Church, for the benefit of the
Catholic parochial school known as St.
Joseph's Academy. In connection with
the same event there will be two concerts
and dramatic entertainments, Saturday
and Sunday evenings in the Academy hall.
Admission to the fair will of course be
free to the concerts aud dramatic enter
tainments only 25 cents, and each ticket
holder will have chance in the drawing
| of a tombola of valuable prizes. The
worthy object in view, coupled with the
fact that the Catholic ladies of the commu-
nifty are interesting themselves warmly in
the arrangements, render the gratifying
success of the festivals foregone conclu-
sion.

In JA!L.-An inspection of the records OF
: our parish Jail shows that from the lst 10
the 9Th Of the current month only seven
persons have been confined in that institu-
ton, and five of these were incarcerated
for violations Of town ordinances. On Sat
urday last there were only two prisoners
remaining in Jailor Duffel's custody
Sampson Roland, under sentence of death
for murder, and awaiting the result of an
appeal to the Supreme Court, and Moses
Flanders, accused of assault with dan
gerous weapon. This is an extraordinarily
good showing and indicates condition OF
peacefulness and observance of law that is
creditable to the community.
II will doubtless interest our readers
down the bayou to learn that the large and
we'll known establishment of Mr.. David
Levy, in Napoleonville, has received an
immense and varied stock of goods for
the winter and holiday trade, and is offer
ing pilt-edge inducements to the public IN
the way of the best qualities of merchan-
disc at lowest prices. The newest styles OF
ladies' apparel and gentlemen's, youths
and children's clothing are special feat
nre. Mr.. Lem Lemmel is the manager of
this fine establishment, and to his affabil-
ity.fair dealing and business tact are due in
large measure the enviable reputation and
popularity attained by the Levy store.

BY TOMMY ].
He's dead,' were the words that soleInnly fel
On the ears of mirthsome, noisy throng,
But those words struck home like q funera
knell, ...
And solemn hush spread all along.
And the big, strong men stood all aghast,
And their eyes betokeped a tear suppressed.
And hearts were humping hard and fast
Meath many rugged. tender breast.
He'd woven web of affection throughout
The broad domain lie had traversed much,
His kindly deeds are spread about,
Some joy has graced his every touch.
No trIer guardian to his trust
Than he mas e'er among us dwelt,
But know HIM. love him then you must,
His virtues live for they've been felt.
May that Higher Power serve him well
As he has served his fellow men.
He's breathed his doleful, last farewell.
God rest him-may we meet again.

selves from worldly enjoyment out OF re-
spect to the mandates Of the church and
from desire to give their c0nsciences a
