Judge Michael Hahn, on Saturday evening last, tied the silken knot,
which bound together Mr. George Beer and Miss Jenny Floyd. A number
of friends were present at the marriage ceremony who enjoyed a
supper with the bride and groom, drinking to their health. Music
being then in order, the merrymakers tripped the giddy mazes of the
dance until a late hour.

We regret to announce the death of a child of Alceste D'Arensbourg,
the energetic merchant of Freetown, above Hahnville.

Our sanctum and Hahnville, were favored with a visit (in our absence
which we regret,) from those popular gentlemen, of Boutte; Messrs.
N. M. C?re (Care?/Cure?) and M. Laque-Call again.

Mr. William Holloway, the popular and energetic representative of
Mr. Charles Holloway's, well known Hardware house of No. 25 Magazine
St., visited Hahnville while on his usual trip up the coast.

We were presented by Mrs. K.M. Haggerty, with a fine sample of rice
and cotton raised by her scholars on their miniature farm, adjoining
the school house in Hahnville. This is the first open cotten we have
received this year.

Robert Porter, (col'd) alias Tangipahoa, started in the clothing
business, while the owner, Mr. Paul Delaville, was not looking. As Mr.
Delaville objected to this mode of acquisition, Robert was jugged in
Capt. Martin's Hotel.

Some enterprising person or persons in this neighborhood have again
started raising poultry-this time out of Jos. Stein's chicken house-
they are anxiously expected to put in an appearance soon. Go and lose
all fondness for poultry hereafter.

We have received from Mr. J. S. Brady, manager of the Ashton Plantation
of this parish, the champion sugar cane of the season. It contains
eighteen red joints, is one and a half inches thick and seven feet four
inches in height. It is decorated with the blue ribbon; come and take it!

We were favored with a serenade by Charles Yeager, a son of the famous
old time leader of Yeager's Brass Band of New Orleans, accompanied by
several friends on Tuesday night last. A number of popular and well
known airs were played quite skillfully by our musical friend.

The many friends of Mr. Matthew Block, formerly of Hahnville, now of
Palestine, Texas, were pleased to greet him once more on a visit to
his mother and brothers, Raphel and Charles, the energetic Grocers and
Butchers of our town. We trust he may have a pleasant reminder of his
visit to the Pelican State.

We had the pleasure of Telephonic communication with New Orleans, on
Tuesday and Wednesday nights last. Through the courtesy of Mr. Battles,
in charge of the work up the coast, we were enabled to send greeting to
the New Orleans Times-Democrat and Picayune, besides other friends in
the Crescent City. We hail this as another grand step forward in this age
of progress.
