kept along the stream, the body has not
yet been recovered.

was discovered to be on fire. 'Ampng th*
persons in the vicinity who respended to
the alarm raised by the inmates of the
house, was Mr. Sam Pinel, who finding
to water handy, with commendable
promptitude tore off the burning shingles
from the roof and stopped the flames in
that way, spoiling a suit of black clothes
in the operation. The fire was cNeed

side which passed entirely through his
liver. Dr. A. C. Love was summoned

-to ascertain the whereabouts of the b411.
The patient is in a precarious condiion
and the final result of his wound can
not be yet determined with any certainty.
Tit CONCE*r.-- We have wh4 appce

given at St. Joseph's Academy, last Sat
urday evening, under the .direction of
Rev. J. Charle, tWas attended hIy a very
large and asipaeeintive 'itidience; thai
the entertainment passed off with great
eclat, and that the proceeds exceed idall
expectations, footing up about $325 ex
clusive of expenses. With this sum a
new organ has been purchased for, the.
Catholic Church, and the instrunienthas
already arrived and been placed in the
church. In next issue we shall give the
detailed report of the concert which its
character and the merits of the perform

Recently in Donaldsonville two Da

and shot each other so badly that both
are expected to die from the Wounds.
Only one of the men was dfungetou y
wounded, and he has since recovered;
and fronrinformation we have but re
cently received, it appears that on%
the injure4 j sties was lot boao4neb'ihei
the quarrel at all, but that the principal
shootist was the husband of the woman

A Brilliant Publication.
Frank Leslie's Sunday Magazine for May
is a remarkable unuber of this always
entertaining, instructive and edifying
periodical ; and is highly creditable to
the talent, carefulness and industry of
the editor. The 128 quarto pages pre
lent a vast variety of delightful reading,
interesting to all classes and calculated
to gratify all tastes. There are good,
solid articles, replete with information;
essays; serial and short stories; adven
inres; sketches; poems; biographies,
)hituaries, etc., etc.-all deserving of
warm coulmendation-and scattered
throughout are brilliant literary gems.
rhe illustrations number probably one
hundred, and exhibit the best style of
rood engraving. The opening article,
'Mohammed and his Religion," and
'Martin Luther," a biographical study,
ire exceedingly interesting. In the de
artmient of fiction, " Be-Be, the Nail
naker's Daughter," and "Little Hinges"
ire continued with increasing interest;
uid there are several admirable short'
tories by popular writers. The poems
ire very meritorious; thp miscellany un
isually abundant, as are also the Reli
;ious Notes and News at Home and
Lbroad. There are obituary notices of
elebrated divines, Recreations for Sun
lay Afternoon, a beautiful Hymn (the
music by Mendelssohn), etc., etc.; but it

Fovertr and Distress.,
That poverty which produces the great
est distress is not of the purse but of the
blood. Deprived of its richness, it he
conmes scant and watery, a condition
termed ninqte sn meiie;i writings. Given
this condition, and scrofulous swellings
and sor,.s, SeeIaderosde
throat ea nt nsi l ark'
among the common results. Therefore,
if you are a sufferer from thin, poor
blood, do not hesitate, but employ Golden
Medical Discovery which enriches the
blood and radically cures those affections
by striking at tc .root of thp evil and
removing the ca'use.
For all bronchial, throat, and lung
affections, sever lingering conghs, weak
lungs, consumption in its early stages,
asthma and kindred affections, Dr.
Pierce'sGolden Medical Discovery is the
sovereign remedy, anm has outrivaled alt
its competitors. It is harmless in any
condition of the system, yet powerful to
cure. Druggists sell it.
"ADVANCE AND RETREAT" is the title
of the posthumous book of General J. B.
Hoon, whose modest personal bravery
was the adjairatiop*( eevery pne during
the lae tur. , It is a arritive ofhis er
sonal experieuces in the Armies Qf the

It is very handsomely printed, octavo'

some heliographic portrait in full mili

of the warrior in citizen's dress. Both
are excellent likenesses. The book also
has four lithographic maps of battle

No school jas yet been established in
the-upper portion of the sixth ward, be
cause the local director has been unable,
so far, to procure a suitable building
for its accommodation. This section of
the parish has ben sadly deficient in the
educational facilities afforded its resi
dents, and it is to be hoped some citizen
will be found with sufficient public
spirit to afford the School Board the use
of a building that will serve the purpose
of a school-house.
A meeting of the Board of School
Directors will be held at the Secretary's
office, next Saturday, for reorganization
and the transaction of snch other busi
ness as may be presented. We hope a
quorum of members will be secured this
time.
A STRIKE.-The laborers upon Tu
reand's Brul6 plantation, in the lower
part of this parish, and on MrsJacobsha
gen's Union plantation in the upper part
of St. James, struck for higher wages
during the early part of the week, de
manding seventy-five cents per day and
rations. There has been no interruption
of work on Tureaud's front place, nor
\vas there any indication up to yester
day, that the laborers of the Burnside or
other neighboring places would partici
pate in the strike. Yesterday morning,
however, the hands on Burnside's
Conway and Orange Grove places refused
to turn out to work when the bells rang,
and about 10 o'clock they formed agang,
all mounted on horses, and marched
two-by-two over to the Clark, Donald
son and Riverton places and compelled
the laborers there to suspend work un
der pain of violence. should they refuse
to comply with the demand. Affidavits
will be made against the lenderg of the
movement this morning and it is to be I
hoped lje$beriff will meet withmno app
position in executing any warrants that
may be placed in his hands, in order
that our parish may not become the
scene of such displays of lawlessness as
attended the strikes in parishes below l
us. It is important that our laboring
classes Vhoul have a correct apprecia
tion oftheir rights and privileges and of
the restriction placed thereon by the
laws of the land. Every man has a right
to estimate the value of his own labor,
and to- work, or refuse to wor, for any
rate df compensation it pleases him to
accept or reject, and he is likewise privi
leged to induce othere, by 4eeilgmssion,
to adopt his way of thinking; but the
moniett bhvintplrys threats or violence -
for this bamiose, he ;places bhianeet out
side the pale of the law, violates rights
co-equal with his own and becomes a
veritable '!bulldozer."

MILTARY FiOLIC.-Sunday afternoon,
the 18th inst., the members of Cofield's
BattefOC., aoewiipanied by the Inde
pendant Brass Band, jumped into a
couple of large cane carts kindly loaned
them by Messrs. Hanson & Lemann and
went down the river to pay a visit to
their estimable friend and patron, Mr. J.
C. Cofleld. The merry cavalcade was
led by a barouche containing Col. A. J.
Bachemir., Capt. D'E. Jones, Lients. La
fargue and Earhart and Mr. James Angus
tin, reporter for the New Orleans Demo
crat. The band furnished an abundance
of lively music on the way down and
back, and the party veritably " aroused
the natives " along the route. Arrived
at Mr. Cotield's beautiful home, the visi
tors were cordially welcomed, and after
a brief address by Capt. Jones, a serenade
by the band and a display of drill on the
spacious grounds in front of the residence
the Battery and its friends were invited
in to partake of refreshments provided
for the occasion, consisting of several
tine brands of liquors, a delicious cham
pagne punch and cakes galore, to which
amplejustice was done. Toasts to the
health of ttub princely host and his fair
lady, and other appropriate subjects,
were quaffed with enthusiasm. After a
most agreeable half-hour spent tu social
converse, the Battery reformed in line,
the b d gave a parting airT and. t'e
wtlel'c e intruders took their leave. Get
ting again into their vehicles, the party
were quickly eonveyed back as far as the
hospitable residence of the Gaudin broth
ers and their estimable relative Mr. Cam
ille Mollere, where a delightful hour was
spent, partaking of refreshments, danc
ing and chatting. The gentlemen and
ladies of the house entertained their
guests in their usual perfect manner and
all regretted the arrival of the time to
depart. The Battery marched back from
Gaudin's, the carts having been oefm$
home from there. Arrived at the Lee
Hotel the musicians and soldiers took a
parting "smile" upon the invitation of
Lients. Klopman and Lafargue, and then
