LECTION OF CHURCH WARDENss

| ELECTION OF CHURCH WARDENS.
The notice of election issued last week by
| DR.. Theo. Webfe, President of the Board
Of Wardens Of the Roman Catholic Church
OF Ascension, has been amended so as tc
call for the choice of two new members OF
the board instead of one-the first to sue
coed Warden Alfred Esneault, whose term
Is about to expire, the second to replace
Warden dean Feyrier, who has removed
from this parish. As we stated last week
the election is to be held at ST. Joseph S
Academy on Sunday, May 8, between the
hours of 10 A. NJ. and N.
There appears to be some difference of
opinion among members of the congrega-
ton as to the legality of the proposed
choice of a Warden in Mr.. Fevrier's stead.
1t IS claimed by some that there is no va
cancy in this instance, is Mr.. Foyrier has
not rendered his resi- gnation and is not be-
lieved to have taken up permanent resi-
| dence in New Orleans; that ne attends the
meetings of the board when notified, and
on the occasion of his last visit here intima-
ted that he might conclude at an early day
to come back to Donaldsonville, which he
still regards as his home. .~...
It is further urged that the charter under
which the Board of Wardens was organized
provides no 1nethed OF filing vacancies in
that body excepting those occurring by
reason of expiration of the terms Of service
for which its members were respectively
chosen, and hence that there can only be
one Warden elected each year, but we do
not think the omission of express author
lty to exercise such a necessary function
would act as an inhibition, as tie board
might become depleted by deaths, resiyna-
tlons, etc., If the congregation were power
less to fill vacancies resulting from these
causes.
we Judge, however, that no mere differ
ences Of opinion Ga the points referred to
will be allowed to seriously disturb the har-
mony of the Catholic congregation. The
unfortunate experiences of the recent past
are too fresh i'll the minds of the members
to permit the superstition that any faction
can desire to renew the controversy SO hap
ply adjusted BY mutual concession and
forbearance.
Messrs. R. P. Landry, and .. Variant
are mentioned as candidates for election to
the Beard of Nardens. and the prospect is
that they will be the successful aspiran.s.

IMPROVED CROP PROSPECTS.

A few weeks ago our sugar planters were,
| as rule, very much discouraged by the
outlook for this years crop, but ktely the
prospect has improved wonderfully and adj
vices from every direction are Of the most
encouraging character. Both stubbIe and
plant cane promise an excellent stand,
with few exceptions, and although the sea-
ditions during the rest of the year there is
every indication that the sugar yield will be
fine one.
As a sample of the advices we have re-
ceiyed WITHIN the past few days, we quote
the following extract from letter written
us by an observant and intelligent cores
pendent whe writes from Lane post-ofice,
this parish, under date Of the 21st inst:
Cane crops are generally very good on both
sides of the river in this immediate vicinity.
On the Claiborne plantation. in lower lberyllie
now most intelligently managed by the vet.
eran sugar planter, A. Sigur, Esq:-the stand Of
ocular demonstration.
One of the largest and most intelligent
planters in this part of the State, whose
place is only a few miles from Donaldson
vile, predicted a couple of months ago
that the planter who saved enough cane for
seed this year would be exceptionally for
tunate. Within the past week the same
gentleman has been heard to say that his
stubbIe and plant cane are both in excellent
condition and portend highly satisfac-
tory crop.

Constable Paul N. Wagner, on
Saturday last with warrant issued
by Justice of the Peace, John Par.

Jacob Kennard, against Harvey Nor

the writ, was resisted by Harvey
who was assisted by two of his Sis

stable. The parties then surrendered,
and were taken to Elkton, where they
were released, Mrs. Gerry, widow of
the late Samuel Gerry, going security
in the sum of $500 that the offending
party shall keep the peace.
A good many people are inclined
to take the side of the Morrison girls
and their afflicted brother, believing
that the warfare waged against them
is in great measure unnecessary.
The girls are very lonely, and have
had great family Affections to con-
tend with, and are entitled to the
sympathy of a charitable community.
They inherit violent tempers, and
have had very "hard row to hoe"
in this world. Their lines have fall
en- in any but pleasant places, and
their lot has been to face a harsh, un-
feeling world, which they make
harder by meeting it with defiant
violence.

Large Carp.

Friend Lloyd Balderston has a
pond which he stocked with young
carp two years ago. A few days since
the family concluded to take mess
and test the merits of carp as table
fish. The carp is not much of game
fish but will take the hook if tae bait
pleascs them. Some hooks and lines
we're provided and the party went
fishing for carp. The bait used was
grains of sugar corn. A half dozen
fish were taken weighing pound
each, but one rouser took the hook
which when landed measured two
feet in length and weighed 6 lbs. 2oz.
