We were favored by a call from Judge John H. Ilsley, of Ascension
parish, yesterday morning.

On Monday next, our friends, Frederick Toups and Sosthene Bourgeois,
will begin rice cutting in this parish.

We received several days ago from Ursin Rousscan, a fine sample
stalk of sugar cane, raised on his place below Hahnville. It was,
at the time, the best we had received.

Telephone communication between Baton Rouge and New Orleans will
soon be established. The work of setting up the posts is being
pushed with vigor through this parish.

We learn with regret that Mr. Telesphore Baudouin, father of our
parish Assessor and Superintendent of public schools, T. T. Baudouin,
Esq., is lying seriously ill at his residence above Hahnville.

Judge Michael Hahn who for the last ten days, has been confined
to his bed by severe illness, has recuperated enough to enable him
to take a trip to the City on Wednesday morning. He will open Court
here on Monday next.

Dr. Stein's horse patient, "Old Grey" is dead, and the doctor
refuses to be comforted. So many days and nights of toil and
homeopathic attendance were certainly deserving of a better ending.
They have our sympathy.

Mrs. Urban, a sister of Judge Hahn, her two daughters, Mrs. Maes and
Miss Maggie, with her son Albert and grandson Urban, returned to
New Orleans last Wednesday, after a short, but we trust, pleasant
visit to our village.

We are again called upon to announce another death in Hahnville.
The infant child of our fellow townsman, L. Bernard, Esq., died on
Sunday last after a long and painful illness. Our sympathies are
extended to the afflicted parents.

Jules D'Arensbourg, Pierre Warfield and James Warfield were arrested
Thursday evening on a charge of obtaining goods and money to the amount
of $120.90 from Anthony Madere. The parties were not incarcerated
but gave bond for their appearance.

Victor Baptiste, an old and respected colored citizen of Flaggville,
better known as "Pichon" died on Thursday evening, at 9 30 o'clock,
aged about sixty-five years. He was sunstruck in the field during
the day and from the time he fell, uttered not a word. He died
beloved and respected by all who knew him. His funeral took place
on Thursday evening under the auspices of the "Dieu ?ous protege"
association of which the deceased was an honored founder.

We have received from Owen McLeran, Esq., civil engineer and surveyor,
a map of the Marmillion plantation, containing 2300 acres, located
on the Mississippi River, in the parish of St. John the Baptist. It
is a good piece of work and reflects great credit on its compiler,
our worthy townsman.

Mr. Theo. Brou, on Thursday morning last, inst, sent to this office
a sample of ribbon sugar cane raised on his place above Hahnville.
It is still better than any we have received so far, and is justly
entitled to wear the blue ribbon. Next!

In the District Court, the following cases are fixed for trial next
week.
