A good joke is going the round
on one of our widowers, who was
not we'll; we think he had fever,
and his best girl called to pay
him visit, but he had not shaved
for a couple Of days, and presum-
ably, looked tough; he was not
visible! But soon after q courier
was dispatched for a barber to
make the toilette of our fevered
widower, and then he was in shape
to smile gracefully upon the OBJ
ject of all his affection, when she
entered the room. We do not
know who this fellow is, but we
have some doubt.
Work on the Steel bridge is
beginning to take shape, the iron

is yet a hitch between the Bridge
Company and the parish as to the
cement to be used. The bridge
company wants to use Rosendale
cement for the center pier and the
parish want them to use Portland.
The parish is right, because accor-
ding to all information the Rosen-
dale is a very poor quality of &C.
rhent, and entirely unfit to be used
in water. The parish officers will
do we'll to keep a close watch on
all material which is used, and to
watch the workmanship very care
fully. Since the above was put in

at between the parish and Bridge
Company in regard to cement
We learn that the number of
children who attend the public
school at this place is very small.
There must certainly be some neg
lect on the part of the parents,
because there are enough children
in this town to overflow all our
schools. This is an objectionable
negligence, when q good public
school open in q town the size of
St. Martinville, short of the re-
quired number of children. Let
the parents make up their minds
to send their children to school it
they want to make good useful
citizens of them. We have entire
ly too much ignorance in this
town and parish, and now that q
good chance is offered us to i'm
prove our condition intellectually,
let us take advantage of it, and
profit as much as we can.

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK MARKET.
The Features Of the Days Dealings In All
the Leading Stocks.

New York Dec. 1.-The character Of the
buying of the last few days was disclosed
by today's results on the stock exchange.
The day opened with every appearance of
Yesterdays sharp demand for stock being
still in force The lower prices from
London We're ignored and large orders
placed on special stocks caused sharp ad-
vances in the whole market.
The amount of commission house buy
ing indicated Il considerable awakening in
the outside interest The buying of the
Changers, Sugar and Union Pacific was
especially bold and confident and by the
close of the first hour the market had
become very buyant and some sharp adj
vanceS in prices had been obtained.
Then without any dimunition of ac-
tivity it became evident that the advance
in prices had come to a stop and that a
heavy realizing movement was in pro-
gress. When Sugar fell point and the
general list showed an actual decline the
market became duh and efforts were
made to rally it by pushing up the prices
of special stocks. First New Jersey Cen
trail, then Peoples Gas and Rock Island
were rushed up by manipulation.
But this plan proved unavailing to
effect a renewal of the advance and dur
ing the final hour Of the day the tone of
the market had become decidedly weak
and there was lively throw overheard of
stocks to save losses.
