DONALDSONVILLE, LA.,
Saturday, - June 7, 1873.
LOCAL JOTTINGS.
Use Dunham's yeast powders.
See advertisement of steamer Katie.
The Bayou Lafourche levees are ca- t
ving in several places, and require
attention. t
Sewing machines sold and repaired I
by Mr. 11. H. Willers, in the building I
adjoining the Wharf. Prices moder
ate.
List of letters remaining in the
5)onaldsonville post-office on the first
inst. published in this issue.
The river still rises slowly, but has
probably nearly reached the highest
point to which it will rise this season.
About $1500 has been paid in for
State and parish licenses during the
week just ended, and but few licenses
remain unpaid. These must be set
tled instanter.
There was to have been a meeting
of the Common Council Monday last,
but as Mayor Smith and Mayor ad in
teriu Weinsclhenck were both absent
from town the session was not held.
The Town Constable has piocured
a supply of poisioned beef, and is ad
.iiinistering this delicacy to all stray
Jogs that loaf around in his way with
out license collars upon their necks.
We are told that Messrs. Adlard
Landry, Henry Cook and Henry Hley
man have becn appointed to fill exist
ing vacancies in the Police Jury of
this parish, but we have seen no offi
cial evidence of their appointment.
Mr. V. Cantrelle, commissioned as I
SDl)eputy Sheritl, took to Baton Rouge
this week the only person who has
been sent to the penitentiary from
our parish this year-Henry Hahn,
convicted of horse stealing and sen
tenced to two years implisonment.
We are in receipt of a letter from
Maj. A. K. Arnold of the I!. S. A., in
forming us, that he will be in Donald
souville on the 26th of June to pay
bounty claims to parties whose case
have been favorably, considered at
Washington. Claimants in St. Martin,
St. James, Ascension and Assumption
parishes are notified to meet him in
D)onaldsonyvile on the day mentioned.
tSunday, June 15th, will be the
Catholic anniversary of the Fete de
Diceu, and will be celebrated, weather I
permitting, by a procession similar to
that which paraded the streets of town
ppon the same occasion last year.
This will be led by the St. Cecile and ,
and the St. Mary-Jeflerstim 'College
hand of St. James, w!ich has also
been invited to participate in the cer
emonies. An interesting spectacle
may be anticipated.
On Sattrday nexit the limitgrauted
by Act No. 46( to delinquent tax pay
rrs within which to.pay tmheir dues 4
X ithout beingi subject to the penairties
prescribed for delinquency will expire,
after which tinme collection will be enu
forced and penalties exacted. We
hope all interested in this matter will
take notice, and wisely square up be
fore the expiration of the time speci
I fled. It will be a great saving of
trouble anul expense.
Another week of almost daily rains
I1 has passed, and there's no telling how
much longer the deluge will continue.
The crops are certainly being dam
aged by the excessive amount of wa
ter which falls upon them, but it is
impossible at this time for us to ap
proximate the extent of the injury.
It will be a sad misfortune to our
planters if unfavoralle weather ruins
the excellent prospects of a large yi(eld
which have existed this season, for
they greatly need at least one year of
large returns from their labor and in
vestments to compensate ini a Ineas
ure for the losses and misfortunes that
have accunlmulated upoin thelI since
the war.
The magnificent steamer Katie will
pass D)onaldsonville upon her down
ward trip ,ev'ry Sunday af'terlool beo
tween the hours of one and three, and
will carry passe.ngers to New 4)rleans
at the rate of $2 O5 each. The Katie
will stop for hails at all points along
the coast, charging $3 each for passen
gers who embark below )omaldson
ville, and will also bring passengers
from New Orleans to I)onaldsonville
or intermediate points at the same
price. Many of our people who have
occasion to visit New Orleans will
hail with pleasure the opportunity af
forded them to make a trip upon the
beautiful Katie at a rate not exceed
ing the cost by rail. The otli'ers of
the Katie arc all agreeable and olulig
ing gentlemen, and the appointmeints
of the noble steamer are not e-'celled
either as regards eleganrce or com
pleteness by those of any (a'lft upon
the Missississipi, and a ride upon her
must, in the very nature of things. he
a most enjoyable episode in one's ex
pericuce.
THE IEAILlROAD SOLD.-ACCOrdilng
to advertisement the N. O., M. & T.
R. R. was sold at public auction by
the U. S. Marshal in front of the New
Orleans post-office yesterday. The
purchasers were Messrs. IIenry J.
Gardner and Peter Butler, both Mas
sachusetts imen, agents of the second
mortgage bondholders, the purchase
of course being mnade snlject to the
first mortgage bonds, which are as
sumed by the buyers.
For the section of road extending
froni Mobile to New (irleatis -,IOH),0t()
was paid; fIor the section extending
from New Orleans tenll miles beyond
Donaldsonville, S201),0(0 (; for the see
tioli extending from the point last
mimed to the Sabine river, $50,(0o0;
for the 'T'cxas section, extending from
the Salbine to louston, 15 0); and
for seventy-two thousand cross-ties,
$16,000, making a total of 6(i7,5010.
The parties who purchased the road
express an intention of prosecuting
the w ork of completing it to I lostoon
without unnecessary delay, and they
anticipate accomplishing the task
within two years.
We wish the new management Ile(:
most abundant success in their under
taking, and shall feel it a pleasure to
chronicle the renewal aId proglCess of
work upon the road.
Sc'loo1. MATTFIRs.-A meeting of
the I'arish School Board was held at
the Conut-llouse to-day, the oflicial
minutes of which will be pulnlished
in next issue. Although no resolution
to tihat eflect was adopted, there was
a tacit understanding arrived at aLmIong
the cimembers that the schools of the
parish should not be opened prior to
the first of September, after the heat
ed term) has closed. 'Teachers and
others to whom the Board is indeblted
will rejoice to learn that sufficient
funds are now on hand to liquidate
the entire amount of their obligations
upon presentation. Besides the April
apportionment, which amountedm to
over $700, the T'reasurer received $832
from the former Tax Collector in final
settleumcat of all collections of sciool
tax. There is now awaiting the order
of the Board, at the State Treasurer's
$153, accrued interest fiom school
lands, and the June aplportionment
will be ready in a few days, so that
when schools are opened in September
the Board will have a nuug little sum1
of utoncy with whicý to commence
operations.
The Town Board of School D)irec
tors will probably be organized dur
ing the coming week, and it may be
that schools will be opened in town
ilmmediately thereafter.
We publish in this issue the report
of the G ruand Jury of Ascen.ioun palish,
made tl t the Judge of the Diatrict
Court on Friday of last week. We do
not claim that our copy of the report
is a correct one in every particular, t
because we have extracted it from the
Leader, and have reason to know that
it has been altered in sever,:l plates i
and the language considerably uodi
lied, as can be proven by reference to
the original document. \Ve have
taken the liberty to revert to the
original language in two instances andl t
revise the punctuation somewhat ill
order that the reading of some doublt
ful portions may Ie rendered clear,
but aside from this the documecntt
is siubmitted in its ipristine purity to
theaduiting gaze of the worldat la rge.

is one thing in whicht all of our read
els who :aelc cogtlizalt ()tof the mater

agree, and that is, that the members 1
of that itnquisitorial body are no more I
guilty of the formation of their own
report than they are of having incited
the JModoc war. We are reliably in
formed that a mIeilmber of the Jury
was perfectly astounded thle other liay
by having sonime of the passages of lthe
report whicth hi had signed read to
