A DELIGHTFUL CONcERT.-The musical
entertainment given at Phoenix Hall last
evening by Prof. John Kelly, the pioneer
California vocalist and violinist, assisted
by his accomplished wife, afforded a rare
treat to all who had the good fortune to be
in attendance. Although u years of age,
Mr.. Kelly retains the musical powers Of
earlier years apparently unimpaired, and
his hearers scarcely knew which to admire
tho more, his vocal efforts or wonderfully
skillfql and beautiful performances upon
the violin and banjo. A pupil and CON-
panion Of Ole Bull, the most celebrated
violinist al his day, Prot. Kelly was not
only fortunate in securing the famous
masters favorite violin to be- 800
years old-but also in acquiring or inner
ting his marvellous power of execution
upon the instrument. Our space will not
permit q review of the programme so hap
PLY rendered by Mr.. and Mrs. Kelly,
but We hope the artists will return to Don
aldsonville at an early day and give
the lovers of good music here another
chance to enjoy their admirable entertain
mont. Should they conclude to visit our
town again, We feel safe in promising them
large end apprecaatlve audience. The
artists returned to Baton Rouge this morn
ing and will give third concert there at
the urgent solicitation of the most prom
iuent people of the city.
The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1885-04-11

MAss-MEEr1NG CALLED.-The coming
town election is not to be snch tame af-
fair as some people have supposed, after
all. A call appears in to-day's Democrat
for meeting at the courthouse next
Thursday evening att O'Clock of all citi-
zens of the town interested in reform and
an economical administration Of municipal
affairs, "for the purpose of advising in
council with regard to the selection of
proper candidates to be voted for at the ap-
preaching municipal election to secure the
needed reform in cur town government -
1t is currently reported that this meeting
will name either Frederick Du6el, Esq. or
Mr.. Armand Richard as candidate for
Mayor, and either of these gentlemen
would no doubt prove acceptable to a ma
jority Of the citizens who are opposed to
the reelection of Mayor Maurin and the
other officers of the present administration.
The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1885-04-11

Mr.. w. G. Wilkinson, who has been a
citizen of Donaldsonville for nearly twenty
years past, has pulled up stakes and gone
to New Orleans, where he proposes to To-
cate permanently and conduct publishers
and manufacturers agency. During near
~ if not oil the term Of his residence here.
Mr.. Wilkinson has been engaged in bust
ness as newsdealer, stationer and book
seller. His successor in this line is Mr..
S. S. Ingman, whose announcement invites
public attention in another column of our
paper. The departure of friend Wilkinson
and his family is viewed with regret by
their many friends, and the most cordial
wishes for their future prosperity aud hap
piness will follow them.
The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1885-04-11

The approaching town election has not
created much stir as yet, but it continues
to be matter of general comment that
Maurin's Cheap Grocery Emporium offers
the greatest Inducements to consumers of
the thousand and one articles of food,
drink and household use comprised in the
heavy stock of that establishment.

SHOOTING AT 6oUvEN1R.-Last Wednes-
day, on Mr.. Godchau1's Souvenir planta-
ton, about three miles above Donaldson
vile, Isaac Preston was shot aud in all
probability fatally wounded by a fellow la
borer named Dallas Brown. The men are
said to have been always on amicable terms,
and it is difficult to account for the conduct
Of Brown, who apparently had no other
provocation for the shooting than jesting
demand by Preston for some coffee that
Brown was drinking. The weapon used
was a So calibre Smith d Wesson revolver,
and the bullet struck Preston on the left
cheek, glancing downward and lodging In
his stomach. Brown fed Immediately upon
observing the effect Of his shot, but was
promptly pursued, captured and lodged in
Jail. 4a
