allied to the utmost. With an exception
ally fine body of officers and members and
ali abundant promise Of equally desirable
accessions to its ranks from among the ex-
emplary citizens of st. James, we see no
reason why the Lodge should not assume
leading position in the grand jurisdic
tiop of Louisiana.

ArrEMprTD MuBDEn IN 81. JAMFs.-A das-
tardly attempt was made last Monday night,
about9 O'Clock, to murder a Chinaman
named Charley Sing, who resides and con-
ducts butchers shop on the Delogny plan
tation, which is located ON the right bank
of the river, in st. James parish, about four
miles below College Point. According to
the statement of the victim, two young
white men, Leon Levy and Armant Tregre.
knocked at his door and called him to come
mess. He refused to comply at first, but
being acquainted with both the parties he
finally yielded and opened his door. No
sooner had he done so then he was struck
on the head with club and knocked down,
shot at. stabbed twice in the neck and bru-
tally beaten by his assailants, who left him
lying for dead in the mud in front of the
house and proceeded to search the premi-
ses for money. They found 800 in the
house and took $40 more from the China
mans pocket, with which they decamped.
The Chinaman's chances for surviving his
wounds were deemed very slim, but he was
recuperating at last accounts and seems in
a fair way to recover. On Wednesday his
alleged assailants were arrested and al
though his eyes were so badly swollen that
the lids had to be forged open with the hand
to enable him to see, the wounded man
promptly identified Tregre and Levy,
among cIoYd of some thirty persons, as
his would be murderers. The accused were
taken to Jail to await preliminary exami-
nation of the case which has been set for
next Monday, the 2lst inst.
Charley Sing has been conducting bust
ness in st. James for the past sixteen years
and had acquired quite respectable COM
petence. He is said to have $1,000 cash
on deposit with prominent citizen Of the
parish, and as he was about to pay for a lot
of cattle he had recently purchased, it is
supposed his assailants thought he would
have much larger sum of money in the
house than they secured. The circumstan-
tial evidence against the prisoners is very
strong, but they avow their innocence and
! claim to be able to prove an alibi.

A BROKEN LEG.-Last Tuesday morning,
as the steamer E. ]. Gay was landing at
Ashland, in this parish, the swinging stage
struck the handsome and popular second
clerk of the boat, Mr., Jno. S. Cannon, a
heavy blow, fracturing his left leg near the
thigh. The Gay at once returned to Don
aldaonville and tine injured clerk was car
ried to the Lee Hotel, where he was atten-
| ded by Drs. McGalliard and Hanson, who
| instituted the course of treatment usual in
such cases. Mr.. Cannon bore his sufferings
like Major" and when he was again
carried aboard the boat Wednesday evening,
on her return from Bayou Sara, he de-
qlared that he felt like a fighting cock. We
suppose he meant a part game cocktail

early day.
