Tbibodaux keeps carpenters, pain

—The Pblice Jury will meet, in

As business of much importance

—On April 21 and 22 tbe Yoang
Men's Benevolent Association ot
Lafourche will give a grand Fair
in Firemen's Fair Grounds. This
organization never does anything
by halves, but works always with
tneigy and w ill which is a sufficient
guarantee that tbe proposed en
tertaimnent will be a grand, pleas
ant and successful one.
—The Bayou remaiued stationary
from Friday last until Tuesday
evening when it began to rise ajid
by Thursday morning it bad risen
aibont 3 or 4 inches.
During the day it was stationary,
bat rose an inch during the night*
bringing it yesterday morning to
within about 14 or 15 inches, of tbe
highest water mark of 1882.

The Markets— Ft would be a
good idea to have the markets
iu Tbibodaux opened every Sueur
day from 5 to S 1*. M.
The market is crammed with eus
tdrners on Sunday morning, so that
the vendors cannot properly at
tend to them.
It the markets were opened on
Saturday evening it would not on
ly facilitate trade but be a great
convenience for many people who
woujd prefer buying their supplies
on that day, than to be crowded
tor a 'half hour on Sunday morn
i —Col. Lagarde from Lower La
i fourche gave us a call on Monday
last. He reports everything in
prosperous condition iu the neigh
borhood ot Longuevillc, and fears
no future trouble from the old
break in the canal that gave so
much trouble iu 1882.
—v\ e regret to have neglected
to make any mention of a very ia
teresting event that occurred in
Thihodanx some three weeks ago,
which took place at the residence
ot Mr. J. S. Goode, one of tire able
members of the Bar of Lafourche.
It was the celebration ol his crys
tal wedding. A number of the
friends of the family, armed with
every imaginable species of crystal
or glass ware, gathered at his com
fortable home, at dusk, where they
were received with that hospitality
and friendship, characteiistic of
the family, and during the evening
entertained in a very substantial
manner by Mr. Goode and wife,
around a table loaded with luxu
ries and comforts for the guests.
—The pupils ot the Gnion Acade
my are rehearsing a number of
songs, recitations and addresses
with which they propose to euter
tain their friends and the public at
au entertainment to be given iu
the early part of next month, say
April 7 aud 8.
The proceeds of this delightful
affair will be used for tbe prolenga
tion of tbe session when the public
funds will have been used.
. There will not, probably, be auy
money received from the Peabody
Fund, the current year, which
makes it more urgent for both pa
rents and pupils to use all lionora
ble means to raise fuuds to contin
ue the session during the scholas
tic year. As the projected enter
tainraent will be given exclusively
by the pupils the public will feel
au interest in its success, and will
doubtless assist liberally to render
the enterprise a success both so
cially and financially.
—Judge Arthur F. Kuobloch's
work has just been published. It is
entitled "The Louisiana Civil aud
Criminal Justice'' with an appen
dix containing ''The Parish Officer's
Guide by Judge Olcott aud Judge
Hemy M. Spofford," revised, correc
ted and eulaged.
The work of Judge Knobloch is
designed to supply a want long felt
in (his State, that of furnishing Jus
tices of the Peace with an accurate
and complete guide to their [duties
when exercising their civil or crim
inal Jurisdiction.
Though following the arrange
meat, to a certaiu extent, of the
''Louisiana Magistrate''yet it is iu
no sense a revision of that work.
On the contrary, the learned author
has wiitten a uew and original work
embracing everything of interest
not only to Justices of the Peace
but to young practitioners at tbe
bar.
A valuable feature is a synopsis
ot tbe law of evidence and of crirai
nal law, both of which topics are
bandied with great skill and dis
play the profound knowledge of the
author.
This work is so far superior to
the ''Louisiana Magistrate'', that it
will, without doubt, supersede it eu
tirely.
—The Sentinel is ntu'er obliga
tions to Mr. A. J. Meyer of Thibo
daux for an invitation to the An
nual commencement Exercises of
the University of Louisiana that
will take place at the Grand Opera
House in New Orleans on Tuesday
March 29th, 1883. Annual address
by the Rev. Bishop Hugh Miller
Thompson and the. Valedictory by
Stanhope Jones.
Oar young townsman Mr. Meyer,
occupies the honorable position of
Chairman of the Committee of Ar
rangements, one which he will till
with dignity and credit.
—There is a case of Varioloid in
a house on Green street near the
canal, and a case of small pox on
Harrison street, in the tear of the
Episcopal Cemetery.
Both are isolated and are appa
rently doing well. The first is a
man named Williams ; the other a
boy named Brooks, both colored.
Small Pox. —The frequent cases
of small pox occurring in this Pal
ish, although isolated and general
ly confined to one family, are sufti
cient to create considerable anxiety.
This loathsome disease is becoming
too cotmnou to add to the comfort
or pleasure of the masses of the peo
pie and has a tendency to interfere
with business.
Whether any laws can be legiti
mately passed to check the recur
rence of the disease is a question
that is difficult to decide.
Iu the Palish of Saint Mary
stringent laws have beeu passed
against the appearance in public of
any one who has been ntHicted with
small pox until a certain delay has
occurred. Iu -West Felieiaua the
Police Jury has passed an Ordi
nance forbidding the admission of
any child into the public schools
who has not been vaccinated, and
other stringent laws have been en
acted in other Parishes. Coinpulso
rv vaccination should be required.
If people are so silly as not to com
prebend the benefit of tlfis simple
remedy to at least, remove many of
the horrors of small pox, the mas
ses of the geueral public ought not
to be made, to suffer iu cousequcuce
thereof.
—James Lewis has been appoint
ed Surveyor General of Louisiana.
Oil the principle that the occupaut
is uot expected to understand any
ot the duties of tbe office be occu
pies, this is an admirable selection.
Lewis is a colored gentleman,
stands well with all classes, and is
worthy of the position. That he
will make au efficient officer, no
oue will doubt.
