Wife of Deputy Sheriff J. L. Martin, Sunday 22nd. He was presented
by his wife with a bouncing boy weighing 10 lbs. He was allowed
the week to enjoy his home happiness and recover from the effects
of the event.

Mr. Charles A. Bacquie's horse died a few days ago.

Judge M. Hahn has been confined to his bed for the past week owing
to an attack of chills and fever.

There is considerable sickness, principally fevers, in this and
adjoining parishes.

We were favored with a visit last Thursday, by our genial friend,
Dr. J. F. Mojonnier, Coroner of our parish.

The lightening of last Tuesday, we learn struck the Sugar House
Chimney of Messrs. Milliken & Kearney, (Dugans) causing some damage
to the same.

Dr. S. D. Gustine wishes to know what inducements the people of
Hahnville will offer him in order to persuade him to locate in
their midst.

We were favored with a call from the active and industrious
representative of Messrs. Herrman & Grossman, Wholesale Grocers,
of 11 South Peters street, N. O.

Mr. William Holloway, representing the popular house of Charles
Holloway, dealer in Hardward, Stores, etc., of No. 25 Magazine st.,
New Orleans, was in Hahnville last Saturday.

Mr. J. M. Hainkel, of the well-known crockery house of Marx Weil, Esq.,
of No. 94 Common street, N.O. passed through Hahnville on a business
trip in the early part of the week.

We will miss the smiling countenance of our jovial friend, Thomas J.
Sellers, for some weeks, as he has treated himself to a trip to
Long Branch, the favorite seaside resort, and other prominent points.

Mr. Jos. Reichenberg, a brother-in-law of Judge J. B. Friedman, who
has been residing in our parish for some time past, has gone to
West Baton Rouge, for the purpose of merchandising in that town.

We have received the champion blue-ribbon stalk of sugar cane from
the Ashton plantation four miles below Hahnville. It contains ten
red joints, well-developed, and is the largest we have seen this
season. Who will take the ribbon?

A colored girl was drowned last Saturday morning while in bathing
with some others, at the Speranza planatation, belonging to Charles
Lafitte, Esq., about 2.5 miles below Hahnville. The body was
recovered, an inquest was held by the coroner, and the body buried
on the following Monday.
