Some of Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays mail was delivered
to this office on Tuesday last. Is this a speciman of our fast
mail service.

Messrs. Florent Bougeois and Arthur Hymel, jr., have sent us a
speciman of very fine new rice, perfectly headed and of most
promising appearance.

L. Prudent DeBautte, Esq., the efficient representative of the reliable
house of Hermann & Grossman, of New Orleans, passed through Hahnville,
Sunday last.

We were pleased to see this week M. W. Fassmann, Esq., representing the
"Old Hickory Whiskey Distillery Co., of Cincinatti, Ohio, who passed through
Hahnville, on a business tour.

Our energetic and esteemed friend, C. O'Shaughnessy, Esq., the efficient
secretery to Mr. Sheafe, the General Superintendent of the Illinois
Central Railroad Co., paid Hahnville another visit Sunday last.

On Wednesday evening, 12th, inst., Rev. Father Jobard, tied the silken
knot between our esteemed friends, Mr. Thomas Casey of the Ashton place
and the charming Miss Lizzie Teichert, so well and favorably known in
Hahnville. We wish the young couple years of happiness and prosperity.

The piece of road fronting John Mongrue's place near Gassen's store,
is impassible. Last Thursday evening Mr. Baquie's horse and buggy
stuck in the middle of the puddle and it was with some difficulty that
both owner and horse were extricated from their precarious position.

Words cannot express the sorrow we feel in being called upon to mention
the death of another of Mr. McLeran's children. Lena, the beautiful three
year old cherub, whom everybody loved and admired for her beauty and
intelligence, has gone to meet her regretted sister Lydia. Two lovely
children gone in four days. What a blow to the afflicted parents. No
amount of words of condolence can assist their terrible grief, nothing
but time and Divine Providence will assist them through the ordeal
through which they are passing.

A visit to Bayou des Allemands was quite a treat we indulged in last
Thursday, in company with our friend, Charles A. Baquie, Esq. The day
was spent pleasantly with Mr. Charles L. Hopkins, who is a most amiable
host. We were the subject of many attention from Mr. George H. Adis,
the efficient operator at that point. Mr. Hopkins' Saw Mill is in full
operation, and things look quite lively around the Bayou. We wish our
friends success.

BAYOU DES ALLEMANDS ITEMS
_________________________
Des Allemands, is improving the latest addition is the Creole Saw Mill
situated only a short distance from the Rail Road Depot on an Island
making quite a pretty appearance known as "Pauls Island." The saw mill
is the property of Mr. Charles L. Hopkins, managed by Messrs. Torres &
Peregne. These gentlemen are experienced saw mill men. Their motto is cheap
first class lumber. In connection with the mill is the Schooner success ?
for delivering lumber, etc. The old reliable, Felix Roux's Saw Mill is
booming notwithstanding it saws a great deal of lumber for the Rail Road
Company, it also furnisheslumber to numerous Schooners, Luggers, for Barataria,
Grand Isle, and otherpoints. First class lumber-cheaper than can be had elsewhere.
Taking into consideration his fair treatment and sociable disposition after having
dealt with him once and you will be sure to come again. Who says Felix
Roux familiarly known as "Old Pap," is not up to snuff, he, is having
built, now nearing completion, a store immediately opposite the Rail
Road Ticket Office, when completed will add greatly to the improvement
of our little village. Mr. William Klienpeter, is boss carpenter, a good
one too, but he complains that old Pap, won't give him a Watermelon.
Miss Carrie Hoffman, of Bay St. Louis, Miss., has been on a months visit
to her sister, Mrs. Adis. She returned hom a short time since. She made
a host of friends while here, and all regretted to see her leave. She
has promised to come again during the winter.

The Misses. Fossier, have also returned to New Orleans, but we hope to
see them again before long.

We regret very much to hear of Mr. Emile Fossier, being called to New
Orleans, on account of his brothers serious illness. We hope he may not
prove so bad, and that he will pass the crisis alright. Mr. Emile Fossier
is a permanent resident here now, his agreeable and sociable qualities
make him a great favorite with all. Next week I will give you a fish
story. We have got the papers for it to. It knocks the spots out of
that Boutte, rattle snake story told at Boutte some time ago, Judge
Friedman probably remembers something about it. If you are not already
acquainted with our mutual friend Mr. L. Dasch you should immediately
do so and get a mess of those Livingston tomatoes. He takes great pride
in raising the Livingston speceies, to use slang, they are just the boss.

We had the pleasure of a visit from Mr. S. Lozano, representing the Singer
Manufacturing Co. If the Singer Co. don't sell machines in these parts, it
ain't his fault, he is a through [sic] business man the Co. ought to
be proud of ? valuable a man, for their business. We all take great delight
in reading the "St. Charles Herald," it is a welcome visitor and should
meet with success every where, until next week I bid you good.  SAW DUST
