We were much pleased yesterday to re-
ceive call from that universally esteemed
citizen Of the lower New River section, Mr..
Solomon Barmon, who came to town re-
sponsive to subpoena to appear before the
Grand Jury as witness. Mr.. Barmon
seems as young in body and mind as
when we first met him nearly fifteen years
ago, and chat with him lie as good medi-
cine for the blues as anything we know Of.
He reports crops and farming operations
very backward in his neighborhood, by rea-
son of the drenching rains that flooded the
country recently. The prospect has con-
siderably improved within the past two or
three weeks, and little rain just now
would be beneficial, as the ground has
been baked by the sun 80 that it retards the
growth Of the sprouting cotton.

ELECTION OF CHURCH WARDENs.-As pre-
dicted, the deep interest evinced in the
election held last Sunday for two members
of the Board Of Wardens of the Catholic
Church Of this place, brought out ali un-
usually large vote. The count of the tellers
after the closing of the poll at P. N. dis
closed the following result:
For six years. term. to succeed Alfred Esneault.
whose time of service has expired:
Dominique Variant. 273
Adelard Landry. Observation-Disclosures 1853
Variants majority. ITO.
For one year term, to succeed Jean Fevrier, re-
moved from the parish:
IL. r. Landry. 10y
Esneault's majority, 118.
The total vote was 1876. An amounnt of
canvassing, challenging and general log
rolling was INDUCED in that would have
done no discredit to political primary or
an election for town officers, aud an under
current of partisan feeling was exhibited
which it is to be hoped will soon subside.
harmony and fraternity are essential to the
spiritual aud temporal well being of the
Catholic congregation, and we trust gen.
eral effort will be made to establish and
maintain these sentiments.
