Everybody says times are hard, and wat everybody says must be true; but hard times rather increase the business at Man rin's Cheap Grocery Emporium than other wise, because economy and neccessity lead people to buy where they can get the best and most goods for the least money.

Leumas of this town has been appointed local agent for the house of Jacob Reed's Sons, merchant tailors of 920 and 922 Chestnut street, Philadelphia, and has an attractive line of samples to exhibit.

A large quantity of river sand is being put on the town streets in places where it will do most good. The street gutters have been cleaned out and deepened, but as the work was done without regard to the pitch of the ground, its effect has been more in. jurious than otherwise in many ,localities, 1inasmuch as water now stands in gutters from which it formerly flowed freely. Ellis Lewis, a colored man who had been nearly blind for the past three years, died at his home in this town Thursday night. He lost his sight from the effects of a bullet wound in the head inflicted by one Wm. Lewis, at the Stella plantation, during the year 1882.

By an unfortunate slip of the pen the bundle of Crars of the 14th of February intended for Hohen Solms post-office was misdirected and sent to some other office, hence our Hohen Solus patrons did not re. ceive their papers of the date mentioned until this week.

Miss Fan nie Schonberg, sister of Messrs. M. and S. Schonberg of this place, was also present, dressed in "cream satin with silver tinsel trimmings, neck and sleeves relieved by Escurial lace." Judge Morris Marks was a member of the floor committee. The ball took place at the Washington Artillery Hall, and was an exceedingly brilliant af fair. The public schools ofathls parish were opened Monday, and so far as heard from they all begin the term of 1885 under fa vorable auspices. The Donaldsonville white and Smoke Bend colored schools each have an attendance of between 25 and 80 pupils, but this number will be consid erably increased, particularly in the case of the Smoke Bend school. The name of the young man placed in charge of the Galvoz school is Robert Webb, a son of Mr. S. D Webb of the eighth Police Jury ward. No teacher for the Lake school has yet been appointed. Andrew Baker, a colored resident of the fifth justice ward, is in durance vile charged with perjury. The head and front of his of fending consisted in making oath that he is worth $100 over his debts and liabilities, in order that he might be accepted as surety on the appearance bond of one Henry Jack son, who is accused of carrying a consealed weapon. The affidavit against Baker is a model document. It was made by Justice Nelson Washington, who appeared before himself and made oath to himself that Baker did " crimefully, wautfully and cor rnptfnlly " commit perjury. Judge Morris Marks paid Donaldsonville a flying visit early this week and favored the Cmnzw office with a call. In anticipa tion of an early retirement from the posi tion of Receiver of the United States Land Office at New Orleans-which, by the way, he has filled with credit to himself and the government-the Judge has formed a law copartnership with Bernard Brusnn, Esq., under the title of Marks & Bruenn, and opened a convenient and well furnished office at No. 30 Carrondelet street. We wish the firm a liberal measure of success. Judge Marks is chock full of energy and we shall confidently expect him to attain a prominent position at the bar. The steamer Alice LeBlanc came out of Bayou Lafourche last Sunday and on the following day was examined by Inspector Moffatt, who came up from New Orleans for the purpose, and who issued a license authorizing the steamer to carry twenty five passengers. The LeBlane left for Thibodaux on Tuesday, to resume her place as a regular freight and passenger packet, running between Thibodaux and the Cut-off, below Lockport, where she had already grown quite popular and has a fine business in prospect. The officers are Capt. F. Barilleau, master; Felix Babin, pilot; J. Q. Fisher, engineer. The two latter are from Donaldsonville, and Mr. John San chez, also of this place, is chief cook and bottle washer in the culinary department. A. B. S. P. A. oz LA.-The monthly meeting of the Ascension Branch of the Sugar Planters' Association of Louisiana was held at the rooms of the organization last Tuesday. A report was submitted by the committeeoof public health showing Donaldsonville and vicinity to be almost completely free from disease, barring a few cases of pneumonia and bronchitis of be nign type. The committee were without edvices from other portions of the parish. Dr. McGalliard handed in the meteorologi cal report for February from which ap pears that the total rainfall during the month was 2.61 inches; maximum temper. ature, 75 degrees, on the 8th; minimum, 23 degrees, on the 11th. A general discus sion concerning plantation work was had, and the reports with reference to the pro gress of planting operations and the con dition of the cane were uniformly favor able and encouraging. The growth of the staple has been somewhat retarded by the cool weather, but a few warm days will suf fice to remedy this slight drawback. Both stubble and seed are sound and the outlook is all that could be expected or desired at this season of the year. KILLmzo or Wm. Tunzan.-A party of colored men were playing dice in a small building adjoining the store of Mr. J. E. Landry in Lacroix Bend, last Sunday afternoon, about 1:30 o'clook, when a quarrel occurred between Wm. Turner and Warren McCray, two of the gamblers. Tur ner, who was the aggressor in the dispute, fired from his breeches pocket at his an tagonist, and as McCray was running from the building Turner drew a pistol and fired at him again. The crowd stampeded at the first shot, some running out and others hud dling together in the back part of theroom, and Turner deliberately turned about and fired at the latter. Andrew Jenkins shot twice at Turner in return, both bullets taking effect. The wounded man uttered an exclamation and ran out doors to the gallery of the store, where he fell and ex pired almost instantly. Thirteen bystand ers were arrested and placed in jail until the following day, when Coroner Duffel held an examination and ascertained def initely that Jenkins had done the shooting that resulted in the death of Turner. All the other prisoners where thereupon re leased, but Jenkins is held to await a judi cial investigation of the affray. From all appearances it is a case of justifiable homi cide, as Turner acted in an outrageous manner and seemed bent upon com mitting murder when he was himself killed. According to the certificate of the Coroner's inquest one of the bullets that struck Tur ner caused a flesh wound of the left thigh; the other entered the upper portion of the left shoulder, breaking the second rib, pass ing through the apex of the left lung, pro ducing internal hemorrhage and death. This ball ranged obliquely to the right and lodged against the spinal column. SHnIur"'s SALE.-The Pelico plantation, well known as the property of the late Ed mond Bujol and now owned by his heirs, will be offered for sale by the Sheriff of this parish on the 4th of April to satisfy a writ of seizure and sale issued in the suit entitled Louise Bujol, wife of Samuel H. Landry, and husband vs. Mrs. J. E. St. Martin and husband.

Married. WALTHER-MOTLEY.-At the residence of Mrs. C. F. Moser, in Port Barrow, Ascension parish. La., on Tuesday, March a, 1885, by Rev. it. S. Stuart. Mr. ERNEST F. WALTHER of the 'lark place to Miss MARY MOTLEY of Bayou Sara. We had the pleasure of being one of the small party of friends and guests that witnessed the suspicions ceremony above recorded, and we take occasion to repeat in an editorial capacity the good wishes already extended the young souple individually. Mr. Walther is the head blacksmith on Mr. Beirne's Clark plantation, Ind is not only a first-class mechanic, but a roung gentleman whose genial nature, strict in tegrity and manifold good qualities have won him the respect and regard of all who know him. The bride is an amiable and charming roung lady from West Feliciana, whose attrac tions of person and character, have made her I favorite in a large circle of friends and ac juaintances. Owing to the recent bereavement sustained by Mrs. Moser-the bride's aunt-the wedding was a very quiet affair, attended by only a few intimate friends of the contracting parties, but to the congratulations of those in attendance will be added the felicitations of a iost of absent well wishers. Mr. and Mrs. Walther are stopping in Port Barrow for the present, but will next week establish them selves in a little cottage on the Clark place, near the railway station, where we hope they will have a home as happy as any in the land.
