An Historic BELL.

"Perhaps it is not generally known,
says the Quincy Church Progress, "that
Illinois possesses within her confines a
bell that pealed forth its glorious notes
on the western horizon before the lib
erty bell OF Philadelphia was cast.
The bell is the gift of Louis XIV, of
France, to the Catholic Church at kas-
kaskia. in l74l, when Illinois was part
of the French domain, and it still rings
out it's shrill notes of invitation to
Catholics to attend mass and other
religious duties. When General Clark
captured Fort Gage in l77S this bell
rang out the glad tidinss of victory for
the American troops. and to this day
the precious souvenir is regarded as
one of the heirloom3 OF southern Illi-
nois."

Died.

MARTINEZ-At Donaldsonville, La, on Sun
day. October IL, 1885, at O'Clock P. H.. Mrs.
OLYMPIC SMITH, wife of JOHN MARTINEZ, aged
81 years and 10 months.
This much respected lady had been in poor
health for about two years, and was confined
to her bed more than eight weeks prior to her
demise She bore her sufferings with great
fortitude and died sweet and peaceful death
with crucifx in her hand and prayer on her
lips. Conscious of her approaching dissolu-
ton she summoned her husband foster chill
dren and other relatives and friends to her bed
side and babe them an affectionate farewell.
giving instructions as to the manner in which
she desired to be buried with as much uncon
Germ as if speaking of some matter of ordinary
household routine. Having lived truly Chris
tian life, it was natural that she should meet
the Angel of Death without fear, strong in the
faith of translation of her spirit to sphere
of never ending happiness.
Mrs. Martinez was a native of Assumption
parish, but had resided in Donaldsonville for
many years. Her mother was Miss Mary
Plaisance Of Assumption; her father, Daniel
Smith of Baltimore, skillful carpenter and
builder, who put up the first sugar-mill of the
pattern now in universal use in Louisiana. He
made the rollers of oak and it is claimed that
the iron rollers of the present day are virtually
identical in form and principle of action with
his modern ones. Besides husband to whom
she was for many years a dutiful and loving
helpmeet, Mrs. Martinez leaves two foster
| children, Mr.. Frank Martinez and his sister,
| Mrs. s. M. Fucich, to mourn the loss of one
who was to them all that tender and affec.
| Tomato mother could be. @M
| The funeral Monday evening was largely at
tended and the mortal remains of the lamented
deceased found resting place in the sacred
ground Of thu Catholic Cemetery Of this place
i Services at the church and grave were con.
Quoted by Rev. Father Dubernard, who had
also visited Mrs. Martinez during her last hour
and administered the sacrament of extreme
| unction.

SUGAR SQu1Bs. Grinding is progressing
satisfactorily at the sugar houses under
way throughout the parish excepting Nc
Call Bros, where slight accident to some
portion of the machinery has caused tenn
porary delay. The damage will be repaired
in season to resume operations on Monday.
A leaky boiler at the New Hope place is
being repaired by Messrs. John McPeet q
Son. As there are three batteries of boilers,
each independent of the other, no stoppage
of the mill occurred.
Among the mills that have started du-
ring the week are those of the Souvenir,
Evan Hall, McManor, Adlard Landry, New
Hope, Palo Alto and Rodrigue places, on
the right bank of the river and Bayou La
fourche, the Southwood, Bowdon, Conway
and Houmas places on the left bank of the
river.
Cane cutting began at Crossley 4 Sons
Riverside place yesterday, and hauling to
the Southwood mill will be commenced
Monday.
The Mt Houmas, Hermitage, Clark, Or
ange Grove and Riyerton mills, left bank,
will be started during the coming week,
as will those Of the Pelico, Peytavin, River
side, Point Roumasip places, right bank St.
Elizabeth, Crescent and Belleterre, left
bank of Bayou Lafourche.
Messrs. Reuss and Ballard of the first
ward will not begin grinding until the 26th
inst, or later. Work on the Germania mill
will not be completed in time for an earlier
start.
The first sample of sugar to reach the
CHIEF Office comes from the little place of
Mr.. Leon Bab;n, on Bayou Lafourche near
Donaldsonvile. It is of excellent grain
and pretty color, and is fine specimen of
the product attainable by the open kettle
process. ."""4
The weather continues clear and cool-all
that could be desired to ripen the cane and
increase its sugar giving capacity--an
! the prospect for heavy crop is extremely
encouraging. The market is still firm and
everything points to "a good sugar year,
for the planters and people of lower Lou
! isiana.

A. B. s.. p. A. of LA.-The October
meeting of the Ascension Branch of the Su-
gar Planters Association of Louisiana was
held Tuesday before last, the 9Th inst, at the
rooms of the Association, with Gen. Jos. L.
Brent in the chair and quite large attend
ance of members. The meteorological re-
port for September was submitted, showing
a total rainfall Of GOT inches, a maximum
temperture of 81 degrees on the LIST of the
month and minimum of 81 degrees on the
Oath. The Committee on Public Health
reported that the usual number of cases of
malarial fever, attended by severe gastric
symptoms, had occurred during September,
but that the mortality was exceedingly
light. After the transaction of some rou-
tine business and discussion of several
seasonable topics the Association ad-
journed until its next regular meeting day,
the first Tuesday of November.
