The late long and successful rolling
season has been one that has yielded a
financial result, to the laboring man
that can be scarcely estimated.
Every mar that was disposed to
work came from the sugar mills, at the
close of the work, with from 500 to
$4,000 in his pocket.
With this money the laborers have
been enable to purchase themselves an
immense number of articles useful 70,

The number of cooking stoves, fire
CRATES, sewing machines, and other
articles and implements necessary
that have been purchased. far exceeds
that of any previous year. Wagons,
for the last 40 days. have been on
stantly seen leaving town with those
articles and household furniture which
have made many an humble home
nor pleasant and comfortable than
it was, addingto the joyof the inmates
and the beauty of the household.

Francois Bergeron.

On Sunday evening, February 1,
inst. a large number Of people, follow
ed the remains Of the venerable Fran
co.'s Bergeron, to his eternal rest, in
St. Joseph's Cemetery.
This patriarch had passed the sew
enty fifth mile stone of his journey
through life He was a native of this
parish, and ever lived therein, honored
by his friends, loved by his family, es-
teemed by his neighbors, and revered
by his children and grand
children, who had grown up and stood
around him in his old age, and called
him "blessed."
Social and kind to every one, honest
and faithful in his obligations, devoted
and indulgent to his family, unobtru-
sive and gentle in all his transactions
none who knew him can fail to mourn
the loss of the good old patriarch,
whose journey in life has come to an
end.
He was a true and faithful member
of St. Joseph's Church, and died in
that firm belief of future happiness,
that removes the darkness in the val
ley of the shadow of death, when a
christian Ia enters therein. Peace
to the memory Of the venerable patri-
arch in his silent tomb, awaiting the
resurrection Of the dead.

There is quite a rise coming down
the Mississippi river. At Cincinnati,
the water is 2.5 feet above danger and
rising but a fall is close behind. The
Cumberland and Tennessee rivers, are
both rising but not much more than
half full.
AT Cairo the river is rising but lacks
5.S feet of danger, but at Helene it i.
6 feet below danger line, and at Vicks-
burgit will require a rise Of 1O.1 feet
to reach danger.
So that there is ample room for the
rise In the Ohio and tributaries, in the
Mississippi without any great danger,
So far there are no serious indications
of an overflow.
