RICE CRoPs.-From all indications the
rice crop of 1885 will be one of the heaviest
every grown in this parish. So far as we
have heard, all interested in the cultivation
pf this staple are weN pleased with the out
look, excepting that the falling Of the river
denotes in earlier commencement Of
pumping operations than usual. Should
the present rate of decline continue, it will
he necessary to put the pumps to work III
the course Ct the next two weeks.
One of tic largest crops of Ascension will
probably be that Of Messrs. Geisnar & Ber-
seron, the lessees of the Waterloo planta-
ton, in the sixth Police Jury ward, who
will cultivate between 800 and 1000 acres of
the cereal, about 700 of which are already
planted. They are putting up fine eigh-
teen-inch double pump, with locomotive
boiler attached, which will be in readiness
to flood their fields with water when the
river has fallen SO low as to gender their
present fumes useless.

Mr.. Henry Cook. Jr., had the misfortune
to fall into the river before daylight last
Sunday morning, opposite Port Barrow,
byInaking misstep from one of the barges
in the tow of the steamer Oakland Friend
Henry had gone out to the tow in skiff
for the purpose of assisting in landing the
barge Of ice consigned to his father, and
and while attempting to step from one
barge to another he missed his footing and
was precipitated into the river rope was
promptly thrown him and with his usual
presence Of mind he seized it and was soon
drawn safely aboard the barge"again, mi
nus hat, shoes and socks, chilled through
by the involuntary bath, but otherwise
none the worse for the accident. Had the
tow been under Roadway at the time the
chances are he would have been carried
under the barges and drowned, but for
tunately the Oakland's wheel was backing
and her progress, had been checked. We
congratulate Henry upon his narrow es-
cape and are pleased to say that he seems
to have suffered no serious effects from
his early swim. This is the second dive
he has made into the river within the
past few weeks, and if he takes our ad-
vice he will quit that sort Of thing until
the swimming season opens.

Capt. Joseph Gonzales deserves the thanks
of the New River community for the in
terest he has taken in the work of erecting
tire school house in his section, and the
boom he has given in school matters. The
captain has not only sacrificed time and
money, but has gone to a great deal of trou-

and occupied. The school-house is sub
stantially built and is very commodious
The desks and benches are of fine work
manship. The work on the upper school,
house is progressing, though the citizens
in that locality are little lnkewarm in the

| BASE BALL.-Ihe great game of bali ad-
yertised to be played here on the 18th inst.,
between the Young Ladies Athletic Club of
Philadelphia and the Nolans of Donaldson
VILE, has been postponed until the follow
ing Sunday, the 10Th inst. Manager Free
man wrote to the captain Of the Nolans on
Wednesday AS follows: II regret to in
form you that it will be impossible for me
to get everything in readiness to leave here
Sunday, as much as desire to do so. Two
| Of my players are coming from Philadel-
phia, andtas they do not start until to-mor-
row, fear they will not get here in time.
But We will positively have everything in
readiness and will not disappoint Won SIM
day week. This postponement of one
week may be matter of regret to you, but
not more so than it is to me-" On Thurs
day Mr.. Freeman wrote again: "WiM not
disappoint You on the 18th, so keep the
thing booming" Of course it was some
what provoking to our local players to have
the expected match deferred week. but
they have accepted the situation with
equanimity and will take advantage of
the delay to put their park in still better
condition for the novel contest. In fact.
they propose to receive the female team
and the public on the 10Th on the best ar
ranged BAH grounds in the State outside of
New Orleans. The grand and ladies stands
will be Fat in first-class condition and will
afford shady seats for 500 persons. The
fieid Is IN SPLENDID trim. a strong nine will
be pitted against the young ladies, members
of the Nolan club, assisted by several DO
licemen, will maintain good order SO that
| nothing will occur to offend the most re-
| fined sensibilities, and altogether the &C
| casion promises to be one of pleasure and in
terest to both players and spectators.
From all directions we hear that the fe-
male game is exciting much comment and
expectancy, and the event is likely to draw
the largest audience eyer yet assembled in
the Nolan park. The visiting team will
parade through town before the game, nc
companied by their own field band.
Owing to the postponement of the match
between the Young Ladies' and Nolan
clubs, the Fortiers and Nolans will play a
consolation game" tomorrow evening.
These clubs crossed bats last Sunday and
the Nolans were victorious by score of 10
to 8 in five innings.
A game is about to be arranged for the
Goth inst, between the Lonsdales of New
Orleans and the Nolans of this place. Mr..
p. A. Gilly, who captained the Berries of
Assumption last season, is leading mem
Der of the Lonsdales.
The Viguets of Plaquemine invited the
Nolans to visit that place on the 10th to
play friendly game, and the in1>
tation was accepted, but the subsequent
postponement of the Young Ladies Nolan
match to that date, compelled the Donald
sonville boys to cancel the engagement
with their Plaquemine friends. An early
meeting of the Viguets and Nolans
will no doubt be arranged, however, and
will be awaited with much interest by the
friends of each club. Strengthened by the
acquisition of a semi professional battery,
the Viguets expect to down their old-time
friendly foes this season.

SUGAR PLANTERS MEETING.

SUGAR PLANTERS MEETING.
The local Sugar Planters Association
held its monthly meeting last Tuesday. Re
ports received relative to the condition of
the cane crops were all of a favorable char
actor. The meteorological table for March
showed total rainfall of 5.33 inches, that
the thermometer reached 50 degrees on the
18th and 18th, and fell as low as, "a on the
10th and 23rd. The committee on public
health reported the prevalence of broncfi-
tbs and pneumonia, with fatal result III
several instances. Three cases of measles
imported from a neighboring parish &C.
Cured in the first ward. two of which were
fatal. Otherwise the health of the commu-
nifty was very good. President Brent d.
rected attention to the action Of the Senate
in extending the time for the ratification OF
the Mexican reciprocity treaty, and ex-
pressed the hope that s. President Cleveland,
in sanctioning the resurrection of the Ell
tinct 80 called reciprocity treaty, has not
intended to indicate his approval of its pro-
visions, so inimical to the sugar and sor-
ghum interests of the country and SO preju-
diciai to all intelligent tariff reform" Gen.
Brent characterized the treaty rs railroad
lobby project, and thought its possible ef-
fects we're significantly indicated by dis
patch from the City of Mexico to the New
York Times of the End inst, announcing
that agents of Chinese commands yyera me-
gotiating for permission to import 10000
Chinese laborers into Mexico.
1t was decided to make the next meeting
one of sociab!e character, as it will be an
annual reunion of the Association, and all
members are requetted to be in attendance.

In the early spring il is often the case that
seeds are sown IN boxes to obtain early sets
In this plan ii is often noticed that If the
seeds are little too thick the plants form
but few lateral roots, but throw the growth
into one central or tap root. The plant
when reset has thus but little root support
and unless under very favorable conditions
many Of the plants die. II in planting these
see6s very shallow boxes are used. and only
an inch Of very fine dirt is allowed, the
plants, II sown not very thickly, will in
stead of the central root. throw cut side or
lateral rootlets in abundance, so that when
the plant is transplsn ted il has a means OF
subsistence that is not possessed By tie out
rooted Ulapt
