The Bali. To-Night .—We would re
mind our citizens that the Ball to be
given for the benefit of the Baton
Rouge Brass Band is to take place
this evening at Pike's JJall. Ample
arrangements, we learn, have been
made to render the affair one of the
must agreeable and attractive of the
season. Good musio and a fine sup
per will combine with the exhdera
tiug exercises of the dance to give
festivity aud enjoyment to the occa
sion.
The supper will be under the man
agement and supervision of Mrs. Bon
nincj , u lady whose qualifications in
this connection are of acknowledged
merit, and cannot fail of giving gener
al satisfaction.
We hope there will be a full at.
tendauce of our citizens on this occa
sion, to the end that tho worthy object
for which the Ball and supper are
given may bo successfully promoted
and ultimately realized.
St. Josrph's Church .—Rev. Fa
ther Larnaudik , late curé of this
Çhurch, having been called to, and
accepted of the Presidency of Spring
Hill College, near Mobile,' as we are
informed, has left our city for his
new sphere of labor. Whilst here,
Father Laknaudir uniformly ex
hibited such marked kindness, be
nevolence and amiability of char
acter, both in his clerical and per
sonal relations, as to have firmly
entwined him around the affections,
esteem and veneration of our fellow
citizens, of whatever class or de
nomination. It may be easily im
agined, therefore, that his departure
from our midst is followed by many
eincere regrets, and by an equal
number of fond hopes and wishes
breathed for his future welfare aud
prosperity.
Previous to his departure a band
some testimonial, pecuniary in its
feature, the generous contribution of
numerous citizens, was presented to
Father Larnauuik , as a faint token
of the high appreciation in which he
is held by our community.
Rev. Father Lacroix , his buc
cessor, late pastor of St. Gabriel's
Church, in the parish of Iberville,
has arrived and taken charge of his
now pastorate. Iiis reputation gives
Assurance that he will be no mean
occupant of the place so worthily
filled by his immediate predecessor.

Prick of Gas .—By a notice
the President of the Gas Light Com
pany, to be found iu our advertising
columns, the- publiais informed of
the rwduction of the price of gas to
the old rate before, the war. Ppü
Bidrfring the hrgh prict; of coal at
this time, and comparing it With the
low price at which it codj'd farmerly
1
i
to demand no small sacrifice of IU " I
terest on the part of the Company,
11
We are informed by the Prosident
- 0 11
of the Company that during the war
and up to this time, the Company
have ijetted nothing out, of their con-;
cern They hope by reducing the
r , i ,i
pr .c. of gi*. to «dug. Hi. mmm
of its consumption among our cltl "
zens, many of whom are using the
kerosene oil, on account pf its cheap
neBS, but who, no doubt, would pre
fer the gas if they could obtain it as
cheaply, which they will now be en
abled to do, and even more cheaply
than any other manufactured article
'
of light.
" , , ... .1
To show the rapid increase in the
consumption of gas in New .Orleans»
we are told that at the gas works in
that city, where not long since ninety
retorts sufficed for the manufacturing
process, they are now compelled to
use as many as one hundred and
twenty retorts. This great increase
in the manufacturing capacity of the
New Orleans Gas-Works is evidence
of the growing favor in which gas is
held by the citizens as an article of
light, superior in cheapness, safety and
wholosomeness to all others. r lhe
business of the New Orleans Compa
ny is thus stimulated from one degree
of prosperity to another, an idea of
which may be obtained from the sim
ple fact thattheir Stock sells readily in
the money market at $1 80, having
risen about 20 cents within the past
few weeks.
We hope that the effort n\>w made
,, „ „ t . , A n
by the B. Rouge Gas Light Company
to facilitate an increase of consumpiion
in gas by loworing its price so as to
place the article within the reach o'
almost every one, will be appreciated,

one fell swoop he swept the artny of
glasses off the counter. Ono ham
per of champagne, however, yet re
raained, and, determined not to be
beaten, he ordered it tobe opened and
placed upon the floor, and jumping in,
stamped the bottle with his heavy I
boots, severely cutting his shins by the
operation. But although the chaui

handful of gold pieces to dispose of,

The Recent Terrible Tragedy iff
Mississippi .—From a reliable source,
we learn the following particulars of
one of the most diabolical acts ever
chronicled in the history of crime :
A man by the name of James
Thornton lately returned from South
America, after an absence of ten
years, to hi« father's home near Brook
villè; in this State, and induced his
father, a wealthy mati and of uoim
peachable character, to make his
i property over to him , promising to
I protect it against confiscation under
the Peruvian flag. The father did so,
but has since err^
son to release him, promiiing one
but has since errdbavored to get his
son to release him, promiiing one-half
of his cotton crop of 200 bales. The
son became dissatisfied, and deter
joined to murder the whole family,
and thus secure the entire estate. lie
had been with his father, on Saturday
• ([ lbe Tlbigb«' river,
k mi t0 build a boat to ship coftou.
Uj 0 l e ft bis father that night, aud
reached his Lottie, one mile south of
Brookville, ou the Mobile and Ohio
Railroad, and begun his fiendish
work.
"ITe first entered the room of his
I brother, shooting him in the head,
killing Witt instantly. He next went
I A. iCn Pntnlltf KAAtn UD !l OTCk lllO 171(11.11 Al*
to the family room, where bis mother
.1 and oldest sister were sleeping, killing

] rived.
lie then ascended to the room where
his two remaining sisters were sleeping.
They, having been aroused by the
firing below, n.id bolted the door. The
wretch broke it open, and with his
pistol blew out the brains of the two,
who were on their knees pleading for
mercy. The other sister hid herself
under the bed, where she was shot,
twice in the leg—she then ran behind
the wardrobe, when she received a
ball in her breast and fell. The as
ssassin then left the house, thinking
he had finished his hellish work in ex
temiuating the whole family—and
proceeded to the river, determined to
kill his father. He came up with the
old gentlemau as he was leaving the
house for his boat, and fired on him
twice, wounding him slightly in the
shoulder and hand. The father leaped
immediately from the buggy and
seizing the soti, held him till help ar
lie was secured and taken back to
scene of his murders, and then
hung by the enraged citizens, near

The particulars are gathered from the
à„d make off to South America, and
only surviving sister, who lies in a
hopeless condition—the one who hid
herself behind the wardrobe, and was
left lor dead.
Another brother of the murderer
was supposed to be implicated. He
is a resident physician of Mobile, but
had been visiting at home for a time,
and was absent on the night of the
nurder. The plot was that the son
(James) was to murder the family
this other son (the physician,) being
the only surviving member of the fam
ily, was to dispose of all the property
and join his brother in Peru.
