in this parish, ON "wednesday, all the MEM
bers present excepting Mr.. Ross Of st.
James. After receiving the report Of the
State Engineers, presented By Chief En-
ginesr Henry r. Richardson, it was unani-
mously decided to fix the district levee tax
for the current yser at 1--WE mills on the
dollar. Gen. Brent offered the following
resolutions, which were adopted without
dissent:
Resolves That in the opinion Of the Board Of
Loveo Commissioners OF the Second District
the constitutional limit upon the power OF the
levee districts to tar themselves for protection
from overflow Is prejudicial to onr interests
and contains the possible germ OF the ruin OF
Resolved, That in our opinion there should he
an amendment of the constitution allowing the
majority OF tax payers to empower local boards
to levy the necessary taxation to secure the
country from overflow.
The Third District Levee Board convened
at Davis Station, ON the Texas aud Pacific
railroad, st. Charles parish, on Friday, and
also levied district tax of Ave mills for
1885, in accordance with the reoomenda-

yellow SroRE.-The popular establish
ment located ut the corner of st. Patrick
and Claiborne streets, Donaldsonville,
owned by Mr.. Louis Wild and under the
management Of Mr.. Jos. Bradford, begins
the new years business with every indica-
ton of a prosperous and successful season
in spite of the general depression COM
planned of in nearly all branches of trade.
The cause to which this effect is attributed
is the extremely low rates at which staple
and fancy groceries and other goods COM
prising the stock of the Yellow Store are
sold. Mr.. Bradford has had years of ex-
perience as buyer aud seller of merchan-
disc. He can visit the New Orleans mar
ket and readily secure the best bargains it
affords, seeming to ferret them out intui-
lively, and rs he knows the value of the
maxim, "Quick sales and small profits, {"
he puts his goods down to such figures as
to place them within the reach of the Slim
NEST purses and thus disposes of them
rapidly. Such an establishment as the yell
low Store is thus made blessing to people
of limited means, for it Affords them an
opportunity to live we'll and cheaply and to
keep their household expenses within the
limits rendered necessary by the general
reduction of wages.

SUGAR SQUIBs.-The work Of. drying sec
ond and third sugars has been completed
at New Hope, but is still in progress at
Palo Alto plantation. At New Hope we
are informed that the amount of sugar al
ready dried aggregates about 1913, 600 ponnds
and that the thirds stihin cars will make
nearly 100. 900 more, thus bringing the whole
crop up to almost 100000 pounds, which
is greatly in excess Of earlier antioipations.
As this total was produced from 32b acres
of cane it will be seen that the everage yield
was ye5 large. We understand that Mr..
Jom fucker will remain in charge of
the New Hope plantation and Mr.. Tircuit
Of the Ascension, and that both will plant
for q heavy sugaf crop the coming season.
The tota! crop at Palo Alto will be about
lilo, 900 to Lis. GOO pounds, produced from
GOO arpents Of cane. showing fine everage
yield. Mr.. Henry @. Wilson will remain
rs manager of the Halo Alto place the en-
suing year, and Messrs. Lemann & Lum
are to be congratulated upon retaining his
services, as he is one Of the most compe-
tent and successful sugar planters in the
State.
A friend who is Ri position to be we'll
informed upon the subject has kindly fur
nished us the following approximate esti-
mate Of the sugar yield of the past season
upon the plantations of Mr.. Oliver Beirne,
located in this parish and st. James:

About 15o, Goo pounds of sugar was lost
by the burning of the sugar-house of the
Ar,nant place. The above estimate Of the
New Hope and Ascension crop, it will be
observed, is some 140, 600 pounds below that
we have received from other sources.
So far as known to date there will be no
changes in the managers or assistant mana
gers ON the seven Beirne plantations in this
parish for 1885, and we think there will be
comparatively few throughout Ascension,
The cut in salaries and wages seems to
have extended all over the sugar district
and employees will find it difficult to bet
ter their condition by changing their loca-
tions.
