If you want a good sewing machine go to Marx Israel's and buy the Gro ver & Baker. The Tax Collector turned into the parish treasury $9321 21 amount of parish taxes collected during the month of November, 1573. We call attention to the new ad vertisement of Mr. John F. Park, watchmaker:tndjeweller. Mr. Park's reputation for proficiency in his bus iness is widespread and needs ,no in dorsement from us. Why doesn't some enterprising butcher start a wholesale sausage manufactory here? We have more dogs to the square acre than any town in Christendom, except Constantino ple, and she isn't much ahead of us. SCHOOL OF Aut.-St. Joseph Acad emy.-At this institution drawing and painting are taught, French, German and Latin classes are organized. No extra charge. Apply to M. Keating, principal. Wilkinson has on hand a very com plete stock of pictures of various kinds--chromos, lithographs, etc., which are sold on such low rates that all can afford to purchase some to beautify their homes with. Cull and asamine the pictures. A graed demonstration will be made in our town on Thursday, Jan nsry 1st, by the colored people, in boner of the proclamation of emanci pation issued by President Lincoln. A large assembly and an interesting display may be anticipated, as, peo ple will lock hither from all parts ot the parish to participate in the cele bration. In consequence of the anticipated WAR WITH SPAIN the prices of buggies at Marx Israel's emporium have been reduced to mere ly nominal figures, and nearly every man can now afford to have a turn out of his own. Any description of vehicle desired can be furnished, and a visit to Israel's will convince any one that no such inducements to par chase have ever before been offered here. We've enjoyed some "mighty pretty" weather in this region during the last week. So balmy and delightful has been the temperature at times that one would suppose the Cu ban atmosphere had fled from Spanm ish barbarity for the nonce to enjoy repose in this peaceful section. So far, the winter has been a very mild one, and quite in contrast with the bleak temperature prevailing in the North and West. the holidays are upon us. Before another number of the CHIEF issues merry Christmas will have come and gone and all the civilized world will feel better and happier for the relax ation usually indulged in on that ever joyful day. Scarcely will the dawn of next Thursday take its first peep over the 4asteirn edge of the hemi sphere ere all juvenile America will be moving with eager haste towards the chimney corner to examine the treasures generous Santa Clans has stuffed in the little stockings hung up in anticipation of his visit the eve ning before. We hope all our young friends will get as many pretty things as they can wish for, and that those of maturer years may join in their rejoicings with light and merry hearts. All hail the season of peace and good will, and may its spirit be with us in all time to come. The Tax Collector to-day sold at auction several pieces of property up on which taxes are due the State and parish. A tract of land formerly be longing to Mr. Theodule Marchand was sold }o Francis Ourso, Esq., a small place on Bayou Lafourche be longing to Wm. Biggs was bought by Mr. H. O. Maher; and property of Mrs. Edward LeBlanc,John Marchand, Daniel Settoon and Andre Cazar was bid in for the State. Other sales will be made in a few days and in addi tion to the amounts now due a pen alty of twenty-five per cent upon State taxes will be exacted, as this is the last djy upon which the Collec tor is authorized co collect without the prescribed penalty. The property holders of Donaldson ville will find something to interest then, in t e letter from Senator Bo vee which appears in another column, wherein the writer gives his views in relation to the imposition of a parish tax upon property taxed by corpora tions, and desires to obtain opinions of others upon the subject in order that he may act understandingly and in accordance with right and justice in moving to secure the adoption of amentiments to the town charter at the approaching session of the Gener al Asseuibly. Senator Bovee is a gentleman who will exercise a deal of influence in favor of whichever side of this tax question he may espouse, and those concerned in the matter will find it to their interest to lay the case fully before him. THE FIRE COMPANY.-The projec tors of this organization held another nmeetiig, last Monday evening, adopt ed a constitution, elected permanent otlicers, and directed the correspond ing secretary to advertise in the New Orleans Times for a second-hand fire engine. Of course some new recruits presented themselves for admission to the ranks of the company, and this will probably occur at each succeed ing meeting for some time, until the proper quota of members has been reached. We can safely pronounce the venture a success, and due credit should be accorded the enterprising spirits who took the lead in effecting the organization of an institution much needed in our town. A third meeting of the company is called for this eve ning, Saturday, 20th, when a report will probably be forthcoming from the corresponding secretary in rela tion to his advertisement for an en gine. POLICE JURY.-This body convened in special session, last Tuesday, at the Coert-House, and after the roll had been duly called and the reading of the minutes of previous meeting dispensed with, Mr. Reynaud offered the following resolutions: Be it enacted by the Police Jury of the parish of Ascension, in extraordinary sea sion convened, That the amount of fifty per cent. of the parish tax of 1870, imposed upon the tax payers within the corporate limits of the town of Donaldsonville, and the amount of twenty-five per cent. of the parish tax of 1871, imposed upon the tax payers of said town by the parish of Ascension, are hereby remitted; provided, that said years of 1870 and 187t be paid on or before the 15th day of January next, 1874. Resolved, further, That any and all parties who may have paid the whole amount of taxes imposed upon them for said years of 1870 and 1871, shall within thirty days, ap ply to the parish Tax Collector for a certii cate of the amount remitted by this resolu tion, and upon said certificate, the Warrant Clerk is hereby instructed to issue a certifi cate of indebtedness, and the Parish Treas urer is hereby instructed to register said cer tificate of indebtedness, as receivable inpay ment of parish dues. The vote upon this stood as follows : Yea-F. Reynaud. Nays-H. Heyman, H. Rice and E. Cantey. And the Jury adjpurned. MURDERERS ARRESTED.-TWO col ored men named John Bowler and Henri Brown were arrested in the seconll yard by James Twiler, con stable, Wednesday afternoon, upon the afldavit of Thomas McGay who charges them with the murder of his uncle, Cato Jones, in the city of Nat chez, on or about the 6th of Decem ber. It appears that the accused stopped a the house of Jones over night, and learning that he had that day sold a cow, they arose in the night and murdered him with an axe for the purpose of securing posses sion of the money, which they obtain ed, also taking from his person a sil ver watch which they acknowledged to McGay to having disposed of. Mc Gay followed the two men on foot to this place, they having a few hours the start of him, and over took them in the second ward, where they were arrested as above stated. After pre liminary examination the murderers were sent to the parish jail, where they will be detained until the Nat chez authorities can be notified and procure a requisition upon the Gov ernor of this State for the bodies of the prisoners. Judge Cheevers wrote to the Chief of Police of New Orleans Thursday, informing him of the ar rest, and that official probably tele graphed to Natchez the same evening. THE CIRCUS COMING.-By his ad vertisement in another column, the people ofDonaldsonville are informed that Dan Rice, the most famous cir cus clown of the age, will pay them a visit on Wednesday, the 3lstinst. To assure our readers that the bill of en tertainment promised them by this most popular of American Circus Man agers, will be amusing and in structive, would be a waste of both time and labor. The fame of Dan Rice is world-wide, for nearly half a century, for his native wit. In every land his inimitable talent as a circus clown has been illustrated. Let old and young go to the great Circus of Dan Rice, on Wednesday, the 31st inst. The treat there in store for them is truly a rich one. The won derful blind talking horse " Excelsior" will positively perform, as he is not dead as reported, but living. The best gymnasts of the age will be there, to thrill the audience with their won derful performances. The best bare back horse-riders in the world, male and female, will make an exhibition of their surpassing skill. It would be idle to attempt an enumeration of the wonders with which Dan Rice will re ceive his patio l . All should go, who would not miss an entertainment which can rarely be seen more than once in a lifetime. TowN CoUxcu..-The city fathers assembled at the Court-House, ten 1 days since, in extra session. The committee on public works submitted a report showing that the Wharf has been repaired, the Market-House needs to be, and the Bayou Lafourche levee is being. It was resolved that the regular -meetings of the Council shall here after be held on the first Friday of each month. Ou motion of Mr. W4lSchenck all licenses for 1874 will be the same as during the current year, excepting the license for bar-rooms or groceries retailing liquor, which will be $25 each. A resolution was adopted provid ing for the appointment of a com mittee of three to confer with the members of the bar with a view of drawing up suitable amendments to the town charter relieving property holders inside the corporation of par ish taxation, and the committee also to urge upon the Representatives from this parish the necessity for such amendments. The chair appointed Messrs. B. Lemann, J. F. Link and C. Martin on said committee. The Treasurer was ordered to sell the ferry, Market-House and Wharf farms; a new tariff of rates of wharf age wasadopted; the Town Attorney's salary was fixed at $150 per annum; sundry accounts were approved; a bill of S. Brand for repairs on the Bayou Lafourche levee, $173 to-wit, was referred to the Town Attorney; the Council disbanded. Through an oversight on our part we failed last week to give our read ers any synopsis of the proceedings of the Police Jury at their session of December 8th. Dr. McGalliard reported the jail in improved sanitary condition and his report was spread upon the minutes. The warrant clerk, Prosper Landry, Esq., submitted a statement showing that from the 13th of October to the 6th of December he had received 728 properly approved accounts, aggre gating the sum of $15,015 42j, for which he had issued 395 certificates of indebtedness. Mr. Reynaud offer ed a resolution to increase the salary of warrant clerk to $600 per annum, which was laid on the table. Mr. Landry theD presented his resignation, and on motion of E. Cantey it was ac cepted. Mr. Cook tried to resign his position as President of the Jury, but made a complete failure, as the members re fused to accept his profered declina tion. A petition from the leading mer chants of Donaldsonville was read, asking the Jury to remit the parish tax upon their stock in trade, but after considerable discussion the doc ument was tabled. The following appropriations were made : $20 to Henry Stokes for tak ing care of a sick man named Henry Parker; $48 to the Sheriff for 12 pairs of blankets furnished for the use of prisoners; and $426 to Fred. Duffel, Esq., Parish Attorney, for his profes sional services in the suit of Maurin I et als, vs. Smith, Tax Collector. Henry Heyman moved to go into the election of Warrant Clerk. Mr. 0. Terrio's name being offered and there being no other nomination he was declared elected. ADVERTISEMENTS. St. Joseph's Academy.
