WE'LL DONE.

On last Monday there was tried be-
lore u jury of this parish the first Sun
day law case. There had been indict-
ments before and the parties accused
had invariably pleaded guilty and suf-
fered the penalty.
But of late there had been so much
sentimental bosh spoken and written
against the law and some Of the great
dailies of New Orleans had gone SO far
astray in teaching the pernicious doe
trine that juries were the sole Judges
Of the law and hat as such they could
disregard a law which they deemed
obnoxious, that some people seemed to
have been led to believe that it would
be impossible to get Il jury to enforce
the law.
The test was made and another
proof has been given of the high repu-
tation for integrity, honesty and intel.
ligence for which the citizens of
the parish of Lafourche have long
been famed. They indicated their
manhood and their impartiality as
judges by rendering a verdict strictly
according to tie law and the evidence.
NO matter what their personal predi-
lectiOrs may have been, and notwith-
standing all appeals to their sentiments
and prejudices. And their action is to

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Louisiana Planter, improves with age.
Each number is replete with informal
ton and suggestions that are simply
invaluable to every sugar and rice
planter, and to every engineer. over
seer, sugarmaker and macllinist who
is in anywise interested in the cane i'll
dastry. Now, that diffusion has been
ascertained to be an undoubted sue
cess, everyone connected with our
great industry should read the Planter
and be informed as to its different
stages of development. The question
OF economy of fuel is a serious one. and
on this subject the Planter supplies
the best attainable information. Each
parish in the sugar belt, including La
fourche, is provided with a special
correspondent, and in this way home
news in reference to the doings of all
planters in each parish are furnished
weekly to subscribers. Mr.. T. A. Ba-
deaux is the authorized agent at this
point.

there were, we are informed, some
anti Sunday law members in its COM
position.
This verdict solves the question of
the Sunday law in Lafourche. 1t
publishes to the world, that whatever
may be the private opinion of our peo-
pie as to the expediency or inexpedien-
cv Of the law, SO long as it remains IL
law, it will he enforced like any other
law. That is the correct course for a
people who value their liberties and
the institutions OF their country to
pursue. If any law is bad, try to Sc
care its repeal through the proper
channels but as long us it remains Il
law, enforce it, without favor or fear.

BOARD OF HEALTH.

The Health OmeeRss Monthly Report.
 The regular meeting of the board of health last night was quite uneventful. The prinoi- pal matter of interest was the monthly report of the health officer. This showed the num- Der of deaths in the city during the month to be 77. The chief causes were as follows: Typhoid fever 2, whooping cough 1, diph- thsria 4, malaria 4, alcoholism 9, cancer troubles 21, old age 3, apoplexy and oonvul- sions 10, heart disease 8, bronchitis 9, pneu- monia 5, Bright's disease 8, suicide 3.
 There were 19 cases of contagious diseases reported during the month, few of which were fatal.
 There are quite large number of cases of bronchitis reported by some of the physi- clans, notably among women and children. The report of the health officer shows that already nine cases have been fatal.
 Several nuisances were reported to the board and action was taken as follows: Nos. 244 and 256 East Chapel street were ordered to be put in sanitary condition, and at Nos. 161 aud 165 James street the privies were or dered to be abolished.
 Bills to the amount of $S65 were approved. Complaint was made about a catch basin at the corner of Lafayette Place and Monroe street in which the contents of privy vault had been emptied, but no action was taken.
 The board adjourned to meet at @ special meeting the latter part of the month.

METHODIST CHURCH..
 Evening services as usual at the Methodist church. The Rev. MT. Thorpe read selec- ton, after which an anthem was rendered by the choir. Prayer was offered and the 415th hymn, ssReck of Ages Cleft for Me.n sung, the congregation heartily joining. The sub ject of the evening was entitled the 'tPeril of Delay" and may be found in the Acts of the Apostles, twenty-fourth chapter and twenty fifth verse, t'And as he reasoned of right eousness temperance and judgement to come Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time, when l have a conven- lent season I will call for thee.'" Rev. Mir. Thorpe delivered logical discourse, clearly defining the great peril of delay in becoming Christians. He cautioned his hear CTS not to put off the hour of conversion like Felix, who was never converted, but that now was the accepted time. He claimed that the great question of the trinity, that problems in mathematics, that science and great ques- tions of state were not what the people want ed or cared about so much as their souls sal vation. He quoted history and depicted viv- idly the peril of putting of until tomorrow what should be done at the present.
