We opine Wil l;ison will make I good judge. Numerous flocks of ducks have plassed overhead during the past two weeks, and we judge that the crack of the hunter's gun is frequently heard in regions where these Iighly prized birds most do congregate. Friends from the New River and Manlchac sec tions inform us that game is plenty there now, consisting mostly ofsquir rels. Last Saturday evening the chimney of Mr. J. T. Nolan's sugar-house top pled over and came " within an ace" of setting tire to the building, but this catastrophe was happily averted iby the promptness" of the employees who were on duty at the time. The ,chimney was soon replaced and se cured in such a manner as to prevent a repetition of the accident. SPECIAL NOTiC~!-Sellilug out at Great Sacrifice!--Mr. Henry Loeb has the largest and most varied stock of dry-goods, groceries and hard ware an town, all of which he is seJiig off at great sacrifice as he is erecting a ;nagnificent store and wishes to dis pose of his present stock in order to ay. in a fresh supply as soon as his buildizg is completed. Every one desirous of making good bargains thuuld giawe him a aldi. Kline went fishing the other day near the wharf-house, and hooked an alligator gar 5i feet in Iaugth. This is not " flish stoy " in the common acceptance of the term, nor a garbled tale for thg deception of the credulous, but is an allegation that can be sub stantiated bythe testimony of cred ible s itnesses who saw the " critter " just after he was yanked from his na tive element. The pretty steamer Seminole made her appearance at our landing yester day morning, .looking as fresh as a maiden of sweet sixteen. She is a staunch little packet,.and with such a popular officer as Capt. Joe Dal feres on deck is bound to prosper in the Bayou trade. The Seminole will leave New Orleans Monday and Thursday evenings at 5 P. M., and returning, leave Donaldsonville on Wednesday and Sunday worniega. Gregg's Purchasing Bureau, No. 4 Burgundy street, New Orleans, is a wholly reliable and excellent institu tion, and persons who have dealings with the proprietors will join us in commending them to the public as prompt and honorable in all their transactions. If the ladies wish any thing from New Orleans, they can save the expense of a trip to the city and at the same time insure them selves satisfactory. purchases by ad dressing the Gregg Bureau. Read the advertisement elsewhere in the CHIEF.. We take pleasure in announcing the unanimous re-election of Mr. Chas. Oberkamup, Sr. to the position of Town Barber, which he has so successfully filled for several years. Through the kidudnss ou the Supervisor of Regis tration we are enabled to present full returns of the vote, which stood: For Oberkamp,.. .....................1 Against him,. -...... ................ 0 All the boxes heaa d from. This flat tering result demonstrates the popu larity of Mr. Oberkamp among the many acquaintanceshe has scraped in this community. We are in favor of an unlimited namber of teruies as ap plied to the position of Town Barber, and Mr. Oberkamp is our permanent candidate. The steamers Hlenry Tete and Liz zie Hopkins are plying between New Orleans and this place regtltarly, the former making three trips a week. the latter two. The Tete, with J. F. Aucoin as master and P. A. Charlet I clerk,leaves New Orleans each Sun- I day at 9 A. M., Tuesday at 12 M. and Thursday at the same hour; return- I ing, leaves Donaldsonville Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings, t running down the coast in daylight. t The Hopkins leaves the city Mon- I days at 5 P.

HB.A BALL.-We are told that the Assutmption Base Ball Club has re organized and will prae;ice at every favorable opportunity until i fit con dition to smeet the Burnsides and re trieve the defeat they sustained in the recent Match with that.4b. If our hore l ayers desire to Waintain the prestige their last victory gave them, they must not be idle, for the Assumptions will not be such easy prey six weeks hence as they were a' month ago. Most of,the New River ball tossers will be employed at sugar houses during the grinding season and con se9uently nothing of importance will occur in base ball circles there until the sugar crop is made. The Assumption club has a new uniforpm. PERSONAL.--Messrs. Oscar A. Rice and George F. Dury arrived here from Assumption Wednesday 'morn ing and left for New Ouleans by the train the same day. Our friend George was somewhat disappointed at the result of the election in his parish, where, despite a colored ma jority of 140 in the registration, the Conservatives managed to poll from 50 to 75 more votes than the Republi cans. There are irregularitiss alleged in the balloting and counting which, if substantiated, may change the re suit, but we are inclined to believe our Republican neighbors were out generaled and outworked by their wide-awake opponents. However, this is merely an opinion, and George may be entitled to a victory where figures now demonstrate a defeat. FKosT.--The first frost of the sea son visited this section last Monday morning, and its effects are visible in the blighted appearance of vegeta tion. The cane has been considera bly injured, n'e understand, and the warm weather that has prevailed since Tuesday has not conduced to i improve its condition. Our planters are making strenuous exertion to ac i celerate the work of grinding aa much 1 as possible, and those who have no water are procuring pumps to supply their ponds from the bayou or river. A second frost was visible Tuesday morning, but it was not so heavy as that on the day before. Owing to the election and subsequent demands upon our time 'we have not had op portunity to ascertain the amount, of damage caused to the crops, but rve will endeavor to do so by next issne of the CHIEF. RAILROAD CHANGE.--Passengers for Donaldsonville, Bayou Goula and all way stations now take the cars at the head 'of Canal street, New Orleans, at 7:45 A. M. Returning, the train leaves Donaldsonville at 1:30 each day, instead of 2:15 as heretofore. A freight train will leave Donald sonville daily (Sundays excepted) at 1:40, and freight will be landed upon the levee ,at Mew Orleans at 7 A. M. the day after shipment. Rates on sugar, $1 50 per hhd. Molasses, 75c per bbl. The traveling public will be thank ful to the road authorities for resum ing the former arrangement by which passengers can embark or disembark at Canal street, and if a correspond ing desire for adding to the conveni ence and comfort of patrons be dis played in the remaining details of management, we think the ro(1d will soon enjoy an increased. popularity among both traveling and freight shipping classes. Planters will ap preciate the prompt delivery of sugar and molasses entrusted to the road, I and will doubtless bestow a large share of their patronage upon the in stitution this season.

Hamilton, the ex city treasurer of Jersey City, who ab scoided some months ago with *65, 000 of the publie funds, returned Thursday night, and delivered him self up to Po sae Inspector Murphy, at the latter's residedee. Inspector Murphy, it will be remembeied, fol lowed the fugitive to Matamoras, and deman4ded his arrest from Governor Cortijas, into whose hands Hamilton haw' idlen, ademand that wasrefused. TIe inspector upon Hamilton's sur rendering himself, at once took him before the Chief of Police Champuey, who lodged him in the Gregory street police station, where he was visited by his wife and a number of his friends, including Charles H. Wis field, his counsel. At noon Hamilton was taken before Judge Hoffman, and arraigned on ,two indictments, one charging himn with the embezzle usent of $15,000 in cash and theaother with appropriating $51,000 in city bonds. He pleaded not gmlty in obedience to the wishes of his coun sel, who had ntt h.a the opportunity to examine the indictment. Permis si 'n was granted him to withdraw the plea and subatitute the plea of guilty, if he so desired. Judge Hoff man fixed the bail at .$5,000, which not being forthcoming, Hamilton was remanded to the coun ty jail. His mother-in-law Mrs. Clowes, the widow of the i;.lam avenue gate keeper of Jersey City ferry, offered to become his su.)tey, but Judge Hoffman refused to .accept this, as he considered she had only a life interest in her dead husband's estate under the bill. Hamilton de clines to say anything about his acts as city treasurer, except that he alone is the guilty party. The story of his flight and tra.vel is rather romantic. He says that he took flight at nighbt on a sleeping car of the Hudson River railroad bound for St. Louis, from which place Je went to Galveston, Texas. He then took passage on the sloop Henrietta for Corpus Christi. Buyifg an ambulance, he started across the country, and at Patri Weli creek in Texas, he was captured by Tom Parker, chidfof the police at Corpus Christi, with whom he com pr.mised for $3000, and continued on bja journey. A few hours afterward, Parker, with a body of friends, again overtook him and took $17,000 from him. He reached- Matamoras, where lhe was arrested by the chieff police, who kept him prisoner in hopes of securing $30,000 from the Jersey City police to deliver him up. He was soon after released on his paying the money, and went to Vera Cruz, and thence to Havana, subsequently find ing his way to New Orleans, where he took passage on a steamer for England. After traveling for some time in Europe he returned to Boston, and then went to san Francisco by why of Canada. After wandering around California and the West for some time he got tired of traveling, according to his story, and determined to give himself up.--Ner York World. At an anti-monopoly convention at Iowa, recently, some fellow bawled at the door: " Candidates are requested to step down stairs a few minutes." Thein every body went down stairs except a deaf old fellow who wanted to run for jailor. r Fifty years ago i Anng English of iceer, named Hendricks, was traveling with his sister in Italy, where lie iet. wooed, won afd ran off with the I charming daughter of a rich and proud nobleman. ' Even as the.father of Desdemona disowned her, so the Italian Count swore never again to acknowledge his recreant daughter. Nothing distiurbed thereat, she ac companied her hnsbandto the British dominious in North America, thence to New York, where, after giving lbirth to a daughter, she died. Hen dricks, having thus lost his wife, gave himself Up to dissipati6n, but was so far mindful of his mothetless infant as to marry a German woman who had taken a filncy to the child. The girl grew to maidenhood received little education, for the family was poor, and when still young was married at Vincennes, Ind., to an Ohio River mate named Hiram Titus. They Ilivedclappily enough until Titusdied, when The removed to Louisville, where she led if not a dissolute still not a virtuous life. Now the Count, her grandfather, has yielded to Heav en his vital trust, and as sole lineal heir she has gone to Italy to claim his title and his wealth. The fortune which thus falls to her is variously estimated from $200,000 tb $800,000. A singular case which occurred many years ago in one of the rural towns of Vermont is thus described by the Rutland Herald: " Capt. A. elhot and killed a dog belonging to his neighbor, Smith. This act was char god upon pie G., and a suit was brought against him to recover dam ages. The case was tried by a justice of the peace, and Capt . A. sat as a juror. Circumstantial evidence' was presented to prove that G. shot the dog, and the jury agreed to return a verdict of " guilty." Several years after the trial Capt. A. acknowledged that he killed the dog, and defen4ed his course in rendering a verdict of ' guilty" against G. on the.ground that his juror's oath required him to decide the case according to law and evidence, and it was fairly proved, he said, that G. killed the dog." WAR PREDXITED.-Father Hyacin the and Victor Hugo have joined Mr. Disraeli and the Pope in prophesying the approach of a tremendous war, which shall rage all over Europe and elsewhere. Mr. Disraeli predicted that the war would be a religious one, and that it would convulse the globe. The Pope described the" impending struggle as one between the armies of the Archangel Michael and the hosts of Satan. According to the prognos ticatioan of jFather Hyasinthe, the coming war will be three-fold, and 4 will include a fearful conflict between polpular rights and the power of cap ital, in which the combatants will tear each other to pieces. According to the vaticination of Victor Hugo, the great and inevitable encounter is to be "between two-principles, republic . and empire." ADVEETIBEMBTS. TALMAGE'S PAPER. The Christian at Work.
