A colored citizen was Ieard to remarn this morning," Fore God, boss, de freemon. itor's done gone down 'bout a foot. I heard a gemmen say it's only fifteen degrease 'bove Cairo." According to the opinion of a bright Donaldsonville youth, thte mercury is " Near sirop and .l.!rning to sugar." The editor of the CmxEF has been confined to his room by an attack of indisposition attributed to the sudden change of weather, hence our promise to islue the paper " on time " has been delayed of fulfillment. We trust ourifriends will bear with our tardi ness yet a little longer.

NEW PosITMASTEa.-Mr. Camille Mollere, an old and highly respected citizen of this parish, has been appointed by President Cleveland as Postmaster at Donaldsonville, to succeed Mr. Louis Lefort, whose term has expired. The selection of Mr. Mollere will no doubt prove aceptable to the entire community as he is a very popular gentle man, and we presume the Senate will promptly confirm the appointment. Those splendid man's white shirts for $1 each at Kline's Old Reliable Store are the best article for the price ever sold in Don aldsonville. Our friend and neighbor, John F. Park, Esq., has decided to resume his old business as a watchmaker and jeweler, and is fitting up a corner of the dry goods department of the Park brick store with this purpose in view. He will be fully supplied with all the implements and material for the prompt and satisfactory executior of all work in his line and his well known skill as an artisan and the success he has achieved in years past, afford ample assurance of his ability to give satisfaction to all his patrons. Mr. Will Alexander, a young gentleman from Memphis, has engaged Phoenix Hall for a short term for the purpose of con ducting a series of roller-skating entertain ments. He opened last Tuesday evening and was fairly patronized until yesterday, when the blizzard set in and kept people at home. Mr. Alexander is wonderfully ex pert on the rollers and it is said to be worth the small price of admission to see him skate. He has a large supply of skates of the most improved pattern upon which a person can scoot around as slick as axle grease and smooth as glass.

At the special meeting held on the 31st alt., as reported in our last issue, the license or. dinance of 1885 was resoacted and contin ned in force for 1886, on motion of Alder man Duffel.

This change would prove a decided convenience to a large portion of the traveling public of our section, and we hope to see it accom plished at an early day. We understand that steps have already been taken to obtain the right of way and survey the route of the proposed deflection. Get the dollar shirt at Klhne's Old Relia ble Store.

Gondraun Jr., private Ernest Giaclard and Corporal F. N. Gray were appointed aeom mittee of arrangements for the annual din ner which is to be discussed at the popular Riverside Hotel to-morrow evening. It was decided to raffle to-morrow the plows donated to the command by the James H. Hall Plow Co., and Messrs. B. F. Aver) & Sons, and Messrs. G. A. Gondran, Jos. (Gondran, Jr., and F. N. Gray were named as a committee to superintend the raffle. Another meeting of the Rifles is called for Tuesday evening next, the 12th inst. No better Wines, Liquors or Beer any where than at Maurin's Cheap Crocery Em porium. Mrs. Euph. Guigon, sole proprietress of the locally celebrated Champion Bakery, calls attention to the continued facilities of that establishment for furnishing bread of unexcelled quality, and at the same time takes occasion to notify all whom it may concern that the business is conducted sole ly on her own account, that she employs no agent and is not responsible for any obli gations incurred in her name until they shall have received her personal sanction and recognition. Mrs. Guigon's hnsband, our friend Alfred Guigoo, Esq., is well known as one of the best bakers ever en gaged in the business here, and the fact that he has charge of the oven is sufficient assurance to the patrons of the Champion that none but the best bakings will be per mitted to emerge from it. Every purchaser of a box of Manhatta Cigars will be given an elegant cigar case frce, AT INOMwN's. Responsive to the advertisment inserted in the CaHIBr, the St. Joseph Brass Band of this town has received and accepted a sat isfactory proposition from Lafayette Hook and Ladder Company of New Orleans to furnish music for that well known organi zation on the occasion of the firemen's an anal parade on the 4th of next March, The St. Joseph was employed by the same com pany last year and its music gave the fire men such perfect satisfaction that they have made haste to secure the service of Donald sonville's celebrated colored musicians for another parade. The boys of Lafayette 1 will be better pleased than before with their bargain, we feel confident, as the members of the band are now handsomely uniformed and present a much improved appearance, besides supplying first-class music. Fifty sacks of Coffee just received at Man rin's Cheap Grocery Emporium. Best and cheapest in the market. Mr. J. B. Wilkinson, Jr., of Plaquemines parish, having been appointed Chief Clerk of the Appraiser's office, New Orleans custom-house, has resigned his position as member of the Plaquemines Police Jury, and Mr. R. A. Wilkinson has been appoint ed to fill the vacancy. The latter gentleman is the same, we believe, who has occupied the post of sugar maker at Messrs. Lemaunn & Bro's. Peytavin plantation, in this par ish, during the sugar season just closed. He had contemplated going into the news paper business here as a co-editor and pub lisher of the Ascension Democrat, but al tered his plans, and wisely, we think, since there is little ground for supposing that the field would have yietled a return coemen surate with his marked ability as a writer or proposed investment of capital.

SUGANR lquI3.At tei'eyavin- sugar hubas of Messrs: Lemann the long season's work was brought to a elose on Thursday, with the grand total of 2,300,000 pounds of sugar as the product of 18,811 tons of cane, the ton. The molasses Ailled 2000 barrels and the consumption of coal reached 38,000 barrels. Grinding was commenced on the 38rd of October, and the average production of sugar was, in round figures, a million pounds per month. Of the total tonnage of cane the Dugas place produced 7988 tons; _eytavin place, 7486 tons: Perseverance place, 2688 tons; and 654 tons were. bought from Mr. Jacobs of the Stella place. Dn gas therefore led Peytavin 497 tons, equiv. alent to nearly 60,000 pounds of sugar-in fact, the proportidb was still greater, elnoe the trash and tops of thirty acres of cane on the Degas place Were burned off by fire while lying in the field, hence this cane lost in weight but gained correspondingly in the average yield of sugar. The general re suit is highly creditable to managers Green wood of Dogas, Hanson of Peytavin, Drake and Mollere of Perseverance, but we think the.feather in Mr. Greenwood's cap is enti tiled to precedence, since he has managed with splendid success a place that has not been heretofore considered as profitable as its neighbors, and has produced from it a crop that will compare favorably with any other in the parish. The mills are still going at Messrs. Cross ley and & Sons' Southwood place and it will take right or ten days work to finish up the Southwood and Riverside crops. All the Beirne places have gottenthrough, Or ange Grove, Clark and Donaldson being the last to wind up. Clark holds the horns with a total of 1,270,000 pounds, and the yield of the other places is just about as reported in our last issue. We have no positive information from Chatham, Mt. Houmas or Houmas (l'u reaud), but believe they are all through. In this event the Southwood and Yale mills are the only ones still in operation in Ascen sion. At Mr. Leon Godchaux's Souvenir place, near Donaldsonville, the total acerage of cane ground was 345, which gave 8863% tons, an average of slightly more than 2516 tons to the acre. We have not learned the exact sugar yield, but it was considerably more than 1,100,000 pounds, adding another to Manager Fulgence Bourgeois' list of hand some achievements as a cultivator. Work was finished at Capt. Aldrich's Mag nolia place, Assumption parish, last Tuesday evening, and the total yield is reported at 550 hogsheads from 240 acres, the best crop made ou the plantation since the war. The yield last year was 318 hogsheads. Many inquiries are made for a reliable Indelible Ink for marking clothes WITHOUT PBEPARATION. The public are informed that this article can now be had and also an ele gant rubber pocket stamp with pen and lead pencil combined all for ONs DOLLA, at Ing- I man's. We venture to say that there are few pret tier or more attractive articles displayed at the New Orleans Exposition as the product of colored labor than the beautiful patch work quilt made by at committee of the colored ladies of this parish, and placed on exhibition Jan. 1,. the anniversary of the issuance of President Lincoln's emancipa tion proclamation. The face of the quilt pre sents a handsome and faithful design of Ascension Academy, the new institution of I learning erected in Donaldsonville during the past year, traced by Andrew Gingry, I E.q., and worked in variegated silk patches by the lady members of the following Ex position Committee: Mrs. A. Lawrende, president; Mrs. S. G. Chinn, vice pres ident; Mrs. E. Slater, secretary; Mrs. Dr. Mary Smith, treasurer; Misses Sallie War. ren, Josephine Madison, E. Bush, Mmes. M. Turner, V. Harris, C. Isom, L. Nelson; Messrs. Preston Holmes, M. Moore, J. Francois; Rev. F. T. Chinn, superintend ent. The work has been executed in a very skillful manner and the effect produced up on the eye is extremely pleasing. AssxnrrION IrxEs.-Napoleonville Fire Company No. 1 held its annual election of officers last Thursday evening, choosing tihe following admirable corps. President, P. J. Gilbert. Vice President, Oscar Degas. Recording Secretary, Jos. U. Falso. Financial Secretary. Leon Lemmel. Treasurer. Frank Bergeron. Foreman. E. P. Heiluin. Assistant Foreman. isuis C ,rde. Engineer. Wm. L. Phelps. Assistant Engineer. Thew. A. Blanchard. Hose Directer. P. E. Thtbodaux. Assistant LHse Director, Alc6e Leland. FiranaIn, Arthur Marquette. All of these were reflected, except in the single instance of the Recording Secretary. With such an efficient set of officers to man age and direct its affairs, Napoleonville 1 should continue to prosper and maintain its high standard of excellence. At Paincourtville, on the 8th inst. Mr. Ducroisel Blanchard, a well known and much esteemed citizen of Napoleon ville, died at the residence of his respected father-in-law, Victoria Triche. Deceased was 31 years of age and was well thought of by all who knew him. For several years lihe served in the capagity of, a mail carrier, and was always faithful, prompt, and blon est in the discharge of his duties. He leaves a young widow and four children bereaved by the loss of an excellent husband and parent. Mrs. Heloise R. Laudry, daughter of our esteemed friend, Judge H. H. Carver, has been called upon to sustain a sore af fliction ti the death of her infant daughter Concordia, aged three months, which oc cured at Napoleonville on the 7th inst. The CHIEr tenders its sympathy. The advent of the steamer Cherokee in the Bayou Lafourche trade has been warm ly welcomed by the host of friends of the popular owners, Capt. R. U. Joe. Gau threaux, Messrs Justin R. Gauthreaux and H. Chauff. As a practical evidence of this fact, we observe that the Cherokee came out with a full load of freight picked up along the bayog between here and Thibo daux. Mr. Jean Gouauz, the widely and well known Napoleonville druggist, is the proud parent of a new-born boy. The CuIEF is glad to bear that mother and child are do ing well. The Jury Commissioners met at the Court-house on Thursday and drew juries for service during the first and second weeks of the next criminal term of District Court, opening on the first Monday of March.

MANAGERIAL CHANoGE.-With the open. inug of a new year's labor on our sugar plantations we are called upon to chronicle the following interesting series of changes in tihe management of several well known places belonging to Mr. Oliver Beirne: Mr. J. M. Breaux leaves his old position on Con way to assume charge of the Ascension place, on this side of the river, about six miles above Donaldsonville, where he will be assisted by Mr. Leo Folse of Assump tion parish. Mr. Eughne Tircuit, the old managerof Ascension, goes to St. James to take general charge of the large Armant place, front and back. He will reside on the front division of the plantation and will have his son, Mr. Thos. Tircuit, for assist ant manager there, while another son, Mr. Chas. Tircuit, will he first assistant man ager of the rear division, ably seconded by Mr. E. J. Dnhon, recently of this parish. Messrs Alfred and Powell Beckner, lately of Armant place, have gone to Conway, the former as manager and the latter as assist ant, and Mr. Gerard WIebert relinquishes the position of assistant at Conway to take charge of the stables on Orange Grove. Mr. Steve R. Boote has resigned as assistant at Riverton to take a simnilam place under his brother, Geo. Boote, Esq., on Mr. Yale's Home plantation, and Mr. Harris Heath has been chosen to fill the vacancy on Riv erton. On all the other Beirne places, so far as we have learned, *the management will remain the same as during the past year. We hope the changes noted will prove agreeable and profitable to all con cerned. Oats, oats, oats, cheaper than ever. Big supply just received at Maurin's Cheap Crocery Emporium. Mr. G. A. Goudran, Superintendent of Public Schools for Ascension, authorizes the announcement that the schools of this parish will be reopened on the first Monday of February. It is to be hoped that tile funds available for educational purposes during the present year will permit a long and beneficial session.
