very important yet it is quite profitable to the
counterfeiters when the coins are made in large
quantities. They are darker in color than the
made of pure copper. The cent coin must
weigh As grains. and from a pound of copper
about hundred and forty counterfeit coins can
be made of that weight, with profit of about
seventy-five cents to the manufacturer.

BURNING OF A CoTroN G1N.-Dn Wednes-
day last the steam cotton gin operated by
Mr.. Hercule Landry at Prairieville, in the
eighth ward of this parish, caught fire acct
dentally while the machinery was in mo-
ton, and burned to the ground, together
with fifteen bales of cotton. Tho cotton
was insured, but there was no insurance on
the Clubhouse and machinery. valued at
about $4,000 and owned by Mr.. Lardry's
brother n-law, Mr.. Austin Babin of New
Orleans. The exact manner in which the
fire originated is not known. Strenuous
efforts were made by the employees to stay
the rapid progress of the flames, but the
task proved hopeless. The destruction of
this property is severe loss and backset to
our esteemed friend Mr.. Landry, and his
misfortune is much regretted by all who
know him.

weather for plantation work has been
vouchsafed to our sugar producers. and a
big crop is now assured to most of them
The yield has been steadily increasing dur
ing the past five or six weeks and has in
most instances reached a point seldom
passed in Louisiana. Three thousand
pounds of sugar per acre has ceased to be
an exceptional figure; 1000 is being secured
on number of plantations and we have
heard report that claim of 5000 is about
to be put in by we'll known Ascension
| manager.
Wednesday was, we believe, the coolest
day Of the season, and its low temperature
incltsd a majority of planters to stop their
mills and go to windrowing. Their sugar
houses will be steaming again on Monday.
Mr.. Henry Cook was the first Ascension
planter to finish grinding. He wound up
ons Thursday, the 2Gth, just one month after
starting his mill, and has made COZ hogs
heads of fine sugar from 20 acres of cane.
AS we remarked last week, he would have

ginning of the season.
At Mr.. Beirne's magnificent Clark planta-
ton plant cane is now yielding fully 1900
pounds of sugar to the acre; 7OO, 600 pounds
have been manufactured to date and the
cane yet to be ground is expected to yield
Coz, 900 pounds. II this anticipation is real
lied, Clark will probably lead all the i3eirne
places in the matter of yield for the present
season.
Mr.. Beirne's Donaldson place, the syrup
from which is being granulated at the
Clark sugar-house, has made 4GO, GOO pounds
to date and will give about 100000 more.
The combined crop of Orange Grove and
Conway will not fall far below that Of Clark
and Donaldson.
Mr.. Adelard Landry will make over eco
hogsheads this year, or three times last
years crop. His son, Mr.. +. 0. Landry
has 149 hogsheads to date aud expects to
reach 1856.
Mr.. Leon Babin will finish grinding by
Friday next, and will realize about 81 hogs
heads-a fine crop for his small place. He
has sold about eight acres of splendid cane
to the owners of Belle Terre plantation.
Mr.. B.bin ground some cane for Jules
PlaiseEce, colored neighbor. which
yielded 6 hogsheads of sugar and barrels
of lnolasses.
At Mrs. Vickuair's Half Way plantation
i'll Assumption, grinding will be finished by
Friday next, and the total yield will be
about 200 hogsheads.
Mr.. Robert Naurin of the same vicinity
is nearly through aud his crop will be about
the same at that of the Half Way piucc
On the fine Armelise place of the Dugas
Bros, near Painconrtville, 400 hogs
heags had been made up to Thursday
with three weeks work yet in sight. This
place has sent the finest syrup of the season
to tine New Orleans market
We are informed tina: Messrs. Prejeau &
Truxillo Of Assumption made 20 Aogsheads
from II acres this week. and sent sample
bunch of cane to the city measuring u feet
III length, cut for the mill

SENSATIONAL EPISODE.

A decided sensation was created in Cath
Ole circles last Monday by the report that
Father Ceuppens, formerly curate of this
parish, had arrived at the rectory of the As
cension Church and announced that he had
returned to resume possession OF his former
charge. As there is no good end to be sub
served by giving the full particulars of this
peculiar and unlocked for affair, we con-
fine ourselves to the statement that Father
Dubernard visited New Orleans and &C
quainted tho Archbishop with the circum-
stances, returning on Wednesday with an
order from His Grace which will no doubt
prevent repetition of the contretemps.
1t is expected that Archbishop Gibbons of
Baltimore, who is to visit our town on
Tuesday, will finally. dispose of any: pretext
that may exist for disturbing the adjust
ment of the controversy that recently di-
vided the Catholics of Ascension into in
imical factions.
It is considered certain that Father Du-
the position Of curate for the parish, and
such action will meet with the cordial ap-
proyal Of the Catholic community, who are
highly pleased with his administration and
desire that thei: past differences shall not
be revived.
