The Ladies' Guild, at. the residence Of
DR.. J.. M. Cunningham, Friday evening,
was attended by 1876 or more personss and
was a success, both financially and social
ly. The Las Vegas military band sere-
naded the party, late in the evening, ad-
ding quite materially to the enjoyment of
the evening.
The reception to Rev. f. 8. Brush and
wife, at the Presby terrain church, Satur-
day evening, was a most pleasant affair,
and certainly impressed those in whose
honor it was held, with the fact
that they are held very dearly in the hearts
of Las Vegans. A choice musical program
was rendered and dainty Refreshments
were served.
Large congregations greeted Mr.. Brush
at both sermons delivered by him, yester-
day, and his choice thought and words left
a deep impressio, upon the hearts of those
of his audience.
Mrs. Brush ia quite.ill with neuralgia, but
expects to be able to continue the going

A BIRTHDAY SOCIAL.
The Methodist people and their friends,
gathered at the home OF A. T. Rogers, Fri
day evening, in response to a rather unique
invitation. A most delightful musical and
literary program was carried out, and the
refreshments served were most delicious,
after which games of ell kinds, including
the "taking of the cake" were INDUCED
in. The affair was pleasant and satisfac-
tory in every respect. 1t is estimated that
100 persons were present, representing in
all nearly 1000 years.

Mrs. Enrique IL. Salazar died Sunday,
May 3lst, at 10 a. M, after but ten days
sickness, which towards the last developed
which the ablest Of medical science could
not put a stop, and TO which she finally
succumbed, keeping her full senses to the
last moment and passing away like a child
going to s.eep.
Agneda Lopez do Salazar was tho young
e,t living daughter Of Hon. Lorenzo Lopez

and, being the youngest out Of fourteen
children, she was the fayorite OF all the
family, and one on whom all laylshed
tender affections, and who was even
allowed her Innocent, childish persist

painful that at the very commencement OF
a life full OF happiness, surrounded by
loving connections, she has been carried
away to a heavenly home, leaving ON
unusually large number OF relatives and
friends In mourning, for the connections, OF
both her parents and those of her sorrow

people in this country.

Decoration day passed off quietly in Les
Vegas, with the Usual observance. The
perversities of the weather rendered the
celebration difficult, and doubtless kept
hundreds at home who otherwise would
have JOINED In honoring the memory and
celebrating the patriotism Of the defenders
OF the union in most perilous days.
In the afternoon Of Saturday, the road
to the cemeteries was lined with carriages
and people OIL foot and IN horseback, and
the silent cities of the dead fairly swarmed
with those who were only too anxious to
do honor to the loved ones who rave Joined
the majority. The Cave juvenile band
volunteered their services and rendered
excellent and appropriate music. Members
of Sherman Post, No. l, G. a. r., were on
hand in numbers and attended to the
decoration of the last resting places of the
soldier dead, to the number of twenty
eight, the graves having been previously
marked with small flags, as also were the
graves of prominent citizens. The E. Ro-
nero company marched out in a body to
the Masonic cemetery. where the graves OF
the dead firemen, P. j. Martin, Henry
Dold and John Rogers, were decorated,
thence they repaired to the Catholic grave
yard and likewise remembered the mound
above the dust of Miguel Romero.

Mr.. N. j.. Riddles place at Balls Station,
this parish. The principal facts We con
dense for our readers, who do not sec the
Picayune regularly. The mounds are five
III number. one having been so levelea by
tho pl)w Us to be scarcely noticeable.
THIS mounds arc square, All UNCOMMON
shape in Louisiana. From the center Of
one to the center Of the next is 900 yards,
and four arc il a regular line, the filth
forming tho end of an "L." The largest
mound is $50 # across the base by 50 across
the top, and l9ft high. There WAS stra-
tum of buckslot land, next layer Of
sand and gravel, which had been mixed
by the builders and brought from different
localities. Another stratum like the first
came next, aud then hard blue. black clay.
At u depth Of II # three skeletons We're
found resting upon " bed Of charcoal.
Prof. Boyer says these were not buried at
the making of the mound as the s?iu]i Of
one was pierced with two bullet holes
\ rudo pipe was also found in tins mound.
Two other mounds examined revealed
nothing more valuable than pieces of red
flint Clipped, asrowheads, and fragments
Of pretty, marked pottery i'll considerable
quantity.
The conclusion which Prof. Boyer reach
cd was that the mounds were built for
habitations, possibly for religious ccrc-
monies, but nat fer burial places.
