The Cananoneers are tloGeaany E of the Field Artillery. This hias beent a week of raiuy and cold weathlr. There was a heavy rainfall Tnesdaa " evening and a coueple of light oaus later in the week. Wednesday nighe was the cldset we hare yet experienced this seasn, and Thursday was the cold eat day. There was considerable ice via ible in the early morning. To-day is uu uesonably warm. Mr. William Pugh Nicholls, eldest son of the late Larry D. Nicholls, and con seqeaetly a nephew of ex-Gov. Francis T.

Mr. Nicholls occapies a respoesible position in the State National Bank, and is a geutleman of excellent character. The Jery Commissioners of this parish will meet at the oice of the Clerk and Recorder next Saturday, the 16th inst., at t) o'clock A. x, to draw a jury for service at the February term of District Court. As the 16th is the latest date upon which the jury can be legally drawn;, the Commissioners are requested to make it a point to be in attendance. Mr. Robt.

Mr. Eistenberg has vimited the CnInr~ oitice on two or thre oecasion', Int we had the mis f'rtune to be absent each time. We .,arnely think he will be so lucky next time he enlls. The Post-office Department is con-id Pring the adljiability of abolishing the Iohen Sams office, in this parish, as the person appointed postmaster there has failet to qualify. Those interested in the maisntenanee of the otiice skonld take immediate steps to hare some suitable ,idividual recommended who will takei the position of postmaster.

Lan dry of wariler MrL Nems had a tah crop an his ittle place, bat the waters of the Landry crevase snbmepged nearly all of it and the prodcet of one acre of cae run through Mr. Gibiuoa's mill is all he has to shew for the year's labor: We hope hwi misfortune will be Cetpensated for by a first-lass crop next year. Mr. Landry has anished grinding and has done splendidly. We heard the number of hogaheads he realised, but it has es caped our memory, and we shan't guess at it. W. W. Dedrick, Eaq., is iu town again after a visit to Missisippi, and is looking up more evidence for the government in relation to cases betre the French and American Claims Commission froth this section. This reminds us that we hare heretofore omitted to report that the claim of Mr. Louis Dalmas for property destroyed by the Federals when Donald sonville was partially burned in 1862, has been disallowed by the Comumission. In a considerable majority of the cases already passed upon the decisions have been adverse to claimants, and in most instances where a contrary result has been aanoutaced, the amounts claimed have been redaled. Work was brought to a halt at Mr. J. C. Cotield'a sugar-house by the breaking of a roller shaft Wednesday night. The damage will be repaired and operations resumed by the middle of the coming week. We are informed that a million pounds of snor have already been made on the magniticeut Point Honmas place and that there are 45 acres of splendid cane yet to grind. Owing to the favor able situation of Mr. Cofield's plantation his cane escapes serious injury from ice and friet when the crops of other planters are badly hurt, hence it is unnecessary to say that the Point Houmas cane has not been affected injuriously by the little freeze of the current week. Tar RIv. aIDE.-The bar-room and oyster saloon attached to the Riverside Hotel, on Mississippi street, have been purehased by that popular young gen tleman. Lenard T. Dutffl. Esq., and will hereafter e couc!rnted under his man age. ent and proprietorship. The saloon has been handsonmely rearranged and re titted and is now one of the neatest and most attractive places of public resort in towns. A pigon-hole table has been ad ded to the other tixtures and proves a favorite featu re. Friend Lenard-the boys still call him by his base ball name, ! Mack"-is esteemed by all who know him, and we can not doubt that his le giou of friends will euconrage him with liber'l patronage ill his new venture. We had a call last week from Mr. J. B. Billeisen, of Austin, Texas, nephew of the late Joseph Billeisen of Donaldsouville, who visited our town to dispose of the property belonging to the snecession of his deceased uncle, consisting of the residence, shop, etc-, at the corner of Lafourche and Ibervillo streets. Mr. Fred R gge, proprietor of the popular arber shop and hath roomd on Mi-si is sippi street. purchased the Billeisen place, and we believe the investment will prove a good one. Mr. Billeisn runs a hotel ot the European plan in Austin and is doing a good busiuness. He reports the Texas capital as exhibiting signs of marked progress and improve ment, and thitiks the place has a bright future. The many friends of that old anu; ster ling citizen. Mr. Adlard Landry, will be glad to hear that he is recovering from his recunt iudispositiou and gives every pro.ise of being soim restored to his for mer healthy state of minud and body. The anxiety and loss of rest consequent upon the dangerous ilmness of one of his sons, the work of taking off his crop, angmentedl by the delay and worry re sulting front several accidents to his ma chinery, were making serious inroads upon his plyjical and mental strength, but happily a chante fi.r the better has taken place and he now seems on the Ligh road to complete recovery. It is pleasant to hear that his crop is turning out handsomely. He has already potted over '?i0 hogsheadts and will be grinding nearly two weeks longer. Last year he made 93 hogsheads, year before last 195. It rained cats and dogs-to use a com mon lepression-last Tuesday evenitg, and people who had occasion to be out in the rain, mud and darkness were in- I deed unfortunate. The editor of this pa per was one of the unf',rtunates. It was blacker than the inside of a cow, the rain came down vith all enthusiasm not ex ceeded by that of a political torchlight procesion. and the mud stuck closer than a brother. We sounded several of the street contractors new ditches and found them of ample depth-in fact, they were apparently rather too deep-for the oc casion. at least. We sat down once in a while-not to rest. but because it was easier to sit down than to stand up-and accumulated so much of the soil of Lon isiana upon our person that a homestead privilege would scarcely have covered our vaule :'s real estate. We navigated Railroad Avenue to its headwaters, hav ing been sulnmoned to the depot by tel egram to meet a friend on the evening tr:a:u. ad we are morally convinced that Washingtou's historical trip across the Dieewaroe by night was a Sud~nay school eiectr-:, ight p-nitc beside our da-rk and pr:nios voyage.

Bas.- BALz..-A rery interemting serau game of ball was played on Nolan Square Sunday afterno. s between nincechosen for the occasion, with Me.rs. Keating and Cook as the " battery n on one side and Meers. Tearney and Bentley on the other. A majority of the players were members of the Nolan club. The score was as follows, the totals being the same as those of the Bapides-Nolan game at Alexandria: ýe ý.ing.nine.... i 0 0 0 0 1 012-1i The Nolan boys are highly pleased with a new rule adopted by the Natiounal Base Ball League this week at Providence, where the League's legislative assoeia tiou has just closed its inaual session. This rule prescribes that any ball dcliv ered below the pitcher's shoulder shall he deemed legally pitched. Under the rule heretofore existing the piteher was nominally required to deliver tile ball from below his waist, and although the regulation has been ignored and consid ered a practical nullity all over the country, the Nolans have been annoyed and embarrassed in two or three of their games during the past season by objec tiouns to the manner in which the ball was throwun by their pitcher. This was particularly the case at Alexandria, where spectators joined the Rapides players in urging complaiuts against the delivery of the Nolau pitcher and in in sisting that the rule as written should be adhered to, although the Nolans had vol untariiy waived a more important regu lation-that of the " foul strike "-be cause their competitors had not been in the habit of observing it. We are glad the rule with reference to the pitching of the ball has been amended so as to conform to the general custom in the matter. The Nolans will hereafter be in a positiou to fllow the written law of the gauss as strictly as could be desired by the maet exacting, now that the sec tion which was more honored in the breach than in the observauce has been sensibly amended. DistRnuctCouar.--Judge Cheevers held court on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs day of the current week, and the follow ing business was tranusacted: Leon Godchaux re. Sucee-.iun of Elot Dicharry : the motion and rule herein was tried on Wednesday and ThurWIay, and judgment rendered in favor of plain titf, directing that he recover from- the Sherit andtl Tax Collector 1ill 70, being the amount retained in the latter's hands for State and parish taxes of 1677 and . ' on the succession property adjudi catedl to plaintiffat Sheriff ' sale. The ground taken in the motion, as we have previously repotted, is that the taxes are prescribed and their payment can not now be enforced. The Distlict Attorney, representing the defendant in rule, cou tended that un evidence could be outer tained to traverse or explain the S'uerilff' deed, and reserved bills of exception to the rulings against him on this point.

Lan dry and several other gentlemen. a lit erary and debating society has been or -ganized here nuder the title of the Guild of Ascension. An election for ufricers was held Monday evening of last week, with the following result: President. R. Prosper Landry; Vice President. Dr. A. '. Love; Se,:retary. I. 3i Cullloh: Treasurer. John F. Terrio; Committee on Protrammme of Exercises. J. X. Keating. F. N. Gray, and K. P. Landryex.coIcio. A committee on constitution and by laws which had been appointed at a pre vious meeting asked further time to re port and the request was ;granted. Last Monday evening there was no quorunin of members in attendance, and those present adij:orned until next Monday. The meet ings of the Guild are held in Mr. Stuart's little school rtou adjoining the Episco pa! chirch. The organiAz.tion1 is an ex cellent one and we hope to see it thrive and becomie perlalie.et. The selection of officers could not have beau more jn diEcius. KNIGHTrs OF HosOR.--At the next meeting of the Donaldsonville Lodge, K. of H. officers will be elected for the ens:i ing year, and a full attendance of the members is particularly desired. The: imeeting will take place on Tuesday, the 19th inst., at Hook and Ladder Hall. The new officers will be formally in stalled at the first meeting in January, and it is probable some entertainment will be devised in connection with the ceremony. Several months ago we heard the suggestion made that it would be a goodl idea for the lodge to engage Prof i Geo. Soule or some other prominent gentleman to deliver a public lecture here on the character and purposes of the mutual benefit assocration appro priately entitled Knuights of Honor, and the proposition impressed us favorably. Such a lecture would uodoubt attract a large audience, and its effect wouldi be beneticial to the interests of the order in general and to those of the Donaldson ville lodge in particular.
