over 5.ooo-other Matters.
Special Correspondence Evening Journal
NEw CASTLE Jan 17.-People who
read Of the ice blockade on the Delaware
and grow tired of hearing about It, -
have very small ideas Of the extent Of
the greatest ice gorge in the Delaware
river that has been known for forty
years As far as the eye can reach from the
Maritime Exchange signal station here
fields and piles of the soldered chrystal.
resembling greatly Lieutenant Peary' 8
pictures Of the Arctic regions. Forces Of
machinery however have been working
against the power of the ice. and are
able to do what would have been re-
garded as impossible In the old-fashioned
winter days.
tits difficult TO foreshadow the effect Of
continued freezing weather ON the com
merce. The ice boats will continue TO
operate as long as they can and their
commanders are confident that they can
keep a track open wide enough for all
the commerce that will come TO the port
during the continued cold The ferry
boats are running subject to the delays
incident to the weather.
The tugs Albert ~ Hughes and Pro
tector arrived in the harbor last evening
to tow out the four masted schooner
Andrew Adams to-day. The Adams has
been ice-bound in the harbor for more
than a fortnight She has stove coal in
her hold for Boston. She may not get
out to-day.
When the captain OF the Alfred Du-
mois, a steamship loaded with the
choicest foreigL fruit glanced at the
Maritime Exchange signals at this city
to-day it is not probable that he used a
hymn book. The signals read that he
must turn around in his tracks and pro
ceed TO New York This is done both to
allow the vessel TO get her cargo dis
charged without delay and TO get a bet
ter price for her fruit, which Is in demand
in Gotham
The Geaman steamship Hafs staunch
iron vessel loaded with a valuable cargo
of merchandise, had a peculiar expert
ence yesterday afternoon in trying to get
up the river and finally had TO drop
anchor above this city Tor the night.
The HATS would be carried by field Of
ice ia swift current and carried back in
spite Of all her engines could do. Then
she would drop anchor, keeping her
engines going, and thus resist the heavy
ice and send it around her.
"ButtonWoods" Again Sold nt Big In
crease.
The handsome farm property above
this city known as the "Buttonwoods'
owned by Charles William Edwards
business manager of the EVENING JouR
NAL has been sold By him 20 Isaac Sol.
omon of Philadelphia. well known
capitalist. The property includes about
third Of mile of river front on the
Delaware which commands an uninter-
rupted view of the beautiful stream for
many miles both north and south. II is
said that Mr.. solomon paid considerably
over $4,000 for his acquisition. The
farm has changed hands several times ia
the past ten years, each time at an in.
creased valuation. This is certainly an
evidence that New Castle is a growing
city and prosperity is ahead.

a Word to Bows.

Boys: lie kind to loved ones at home
Don't wound your parents hearts with
words of impatience and disrespect,
Remem Der the love and care they have
lavlshed and will continue to lavish on
you, from the cradle to the grave. Re-
member what your life has caused them
-how many sleepless nights and dreary
days have come to them because of
their love for you. Don't come into
their presence with an cir of disrespect
and self importance; don't imagine
that because you came into the world
several years after them that you are
wiser; don't get resentful because they
favor you with some of their dearly
bought experience and wholesome ad-
vice; don't expect them to see things
from your standpoint or sy,rpatllise
with you IN all your little disappoint-
ments., Remember they have fought
llte's tlercest battles aud been sOrely
wounded therein and they know you
are, as yet, only on the skirmish line.
Don't he too eager to leave the home
nest. Of course, it is natural and right
for every boy, when the proper time
comes, to think and plan for a home of
his own, but don't imagine the time has
come When you put Oh your first sval-
low tail and cravat.
No matter how well you may promise
to do, the day you leave the old home
stead to start out for yourself in the
world, will be !; day OF mourning for
the old folks therein. So be careful and
don't try to remind them on every occa-
sion that the time is coming and that
you are anxious for it to come.
BE courteous to your sister. There is
all Old adage that (" as the 10y treats his
sister so the man will treat his wife"
Show your sisters the same kindness and |
courtesy that you would the fairest lady
in the land. Don't appropriate the east |
est chair in the room, and leave them to
take the f00t-stool or hunt a seat at !
pleasure. Don't snap them up when
they ask you a question, or answer them |
as if they were idiots incapable of CON- /
pretending a sensible reply. Don't 20
into the room which their careful hands |
have made tidy and throw things around
so as to convert it into a curiosity shop
and then wonder why your "tlIinss''
are not always in order. 4 gentle boy
will make gentleman, and there is no
surer proof OF boys character than his
at home.

Notice ! Notice

Messrs. VIM. Hill & Co., cotton buy
ers, whose main office is at Alexandria
have opened branch office in Opelou
sas. which will remain one of the per-
manent fixtures of our town.

est cotton houses in the world, and ship
direct on through bills of lading to more
than a dozen different points in En-
gland, France, Italy, Spain, Germany
and Russia, besides to innumerable
New England Mills.
By this addition to our town, the
planters will always find a ready mar

A High School.

We announced in our last issue that
Dr.. V. X. Irion had left in the early part
of the week for Baton Rouge. His mis-
sion was to appear before the State
Board of Education, which met at the
capital last week, and endeavor to in
duce them to take some steps whereby
/ the Franklin College property, situated
| in our town, might be utilized and made
{ to yield some revenue for the purpose
to which it was dedicated long years
ago-tbat of education. We are graft
| fed to announce that he was entirely
successful. The State Board has ap-
pointed three TrCstees-Dr. V. X Irion,
L. FL. Lewis and j. j. Thompson-gen-
tlemen of liberal and progressive views
regarding education, in whose hands it
has placed the property, with authority
to use its revenues for the support of a
high school here which will be open to
all the children of the parish who are
qualified to follow its advanced course
of studies
This is a step in the right direction,
and it will give strong impetus to the
move for the establishment of high
school here, a move in which DR.. Irion
and Il few other public spirited citizens
have been deeply interested for some
time.
With tho proper encouragement from
the school board, the police jury and
the town council, and tho support of
friends of education throughout the
parish, Opelousas and ST.. Landry will
soon have a school in which children of
both sexes between IA and II may ac-
quire an acadcmical education at small
cost right under the eyes of their pa.
rents, thus removing them from the ter
rible dangers which beset those who at
that tender age are sent away from be-
meath the family roof-tree. We will
then be on all equal footing with New
Iberia, Monroe and other towns in the
State which possess such schools and
chiefly for that reason have outstripped
us in population and wealth a desirable |
class of people will be attracted to the |
town and neighborbood, eager to take |
advantage of the improved educational !
facilities we will have to offer; every
branch of business and every industry
will be directly benefited and promoted,
and our upward progress, now so slow
and tedious, will be rapidly accelerated.
We felicitate DR.. Irion and his en-
ighteued CO. workers upon the success
so far achieved, and we congratulate
he community upon the alluring pros
)ects which their unsellish labors have
