q roiler-skating entertainment took place
~ fhBnix Hall last evening under the aus
/ plces o. the Independent Brass Band. There
was good attendance Of skaters and the
ooys on rollers amused themselves to their
hearts sconfent, although the weather was
llttie TOO warm for such violent exercise.
| inere were only half a dozen ladies in ut
tendance, hence the dancing with which the
entertainment was advertised to close was
cut very short.

Judge +. +. Gilbert of Napoleonville
passed through town this week en- route to
New Orleans on flying trip, and we were
glad to have the honor of a cell from him.
The Judge is looking we'll and We infer

common report that he is doing thriving
business as Justice of the Peace and Nota-

When Mr.. John Solozano visited West
Baton Rouge this week for the purpose of
bringing back the thief who stole his mare,
he learned that Il colored man whose name
has escaped his memory is in Jail there, de-
tanned upon the suspicion of having stolen
dark bay horse from Ascension or some
adjacent parish. The prisoner has been
confined about three weeks aud claims to
have come from the Weiham' plantation, in
st. James. The horse is i'll possession Of
deputy Sheriff Delaney, keeper of the West
Baton Rouge Jail. s
Choice Hams of all grades, from the fan

1t gave US pleasure to receive call last
Saturday from our much esteemed young
friend, Constant Meancon, Esq, who had
arrived home the night before from Jean
erette, Iberia parish, where he has been en-
gagged as assistant sugar maker in the large
Vaufrey refinery during the past grinding
season. About two million pounds of sup-
ar were granulated at this refinery, AGO.
COO pounds of which were from cane raised
on the two plantations of Mr.. A. L. Monot. |
proprietor of the refinery, and G0O,0o0 |
pounds from syrup manufactured for
neighboring planters.
Our attention has been called by Mr.. Vim.
klopman to slight mistake in our para |
graph of last week announcing his arrival |
from New York. We stated that lie had
come on from that city to take the position |
of receiver of the firm of Mrs. NJ Israel &, |
Co., whereas he came South in his capacity |
as general agent for the New York Life In
surance Company, and had been in New
Orleans week or more before the appoint
ment Of n receiver was made by the United
States Court. Had we given the phrase II
second thought its error would have been !
manifest.
For the benefit of the lovers of the MAN
HATTA Scent cigars, will state that these

Mrs. Boudreaux's groceries. Ask only for

Mr.. John Sanchez of this place was mar
ried to day, in the village Of Port Barrow,
to his cousin, Miss Velina Sanchez of La
fourche parish, Squire Frank Martinez of
ficating az :tier of the matrino nial knot
The young couple were so anxious to get
married in this parish that they left Lock
port without acquainting the brides rela-
tives with their purpose, and drove to Port
Barrow in about as quick time as relays Of
horses could bring them. We hope they
will never have reason to regret the step,
and that all parties concerned will become
