M. E. Cnca Ozarnzas.-At the recentannual conference of the M. E. Church ofLouisiana, Rev. Pierre Landry of Donald.sonville was continued in his position asPresiding Elder of the Baton Rouge district, and Rev. William Smith was assignedfor service another year as pastor of the St.Peter Church in this town. Rev. F. D.Bowers succeeds Rev., P. F.

e. HonsE Bvaum.-On ue-day last,-at fl.o'clock in,the forenoons a house situatedin the quarters of Mr. Oliver Beirne's

A Clark plantation, and' occupied by theme family of Cubit Jackson, caught fire acci-.dentally and iraq burned to the ground, to-

gether with its entire conitents. 'Mr. Jack-son's wife and two graadchildren were theonly persons in the house at the time, but' they were in a front room, and as the fire

originated in a rear bedroom, they werenot aware of its existence until the flameshad burst through the roof and it was toolate to arrest their progress or to save anya considerable portion of the furniture or

11 household effects. Besides losing all these

V Mr. Jackson is said to have had $275 inr paper money concealed in a crack, which

also fell a prey to the destroying element.The fire left him and his family with noth-ing save the clothing they wore. He is ar highly respected colored man, occupying

the responsible position of foreman ordriver on the Clark place, and his misfor-tune will excite the sympathy of all whoknow him, white and colored.

Upon returning from New Orleans lastI evening we were much surprised and pained

to lesrn of the death of Mr. John Bour-I geois, an estimable youngcitizen of Smoke

Bend neighborhood, which occurred Wed-nesday morning about 8 o'clock. Havinghad no previous information of his illness,we were totally unprepared for the tidingsof the fatal result of the attack of smallpox to which he has fallen a victim. Mr.Bourgeois was a native of Ascension, about25 years of age, and his usual occupationwas that of a clerk, in which capacity hewas formerly employed at Mr. CharlesGeiger's store in Smoke Bend. Deceasedwas a young man concerning whom wehave never heard any but complimentaryopinions, and he seemed to deserve andenjoy the good will of everybody who knewhim. Pond of outdoor sports and popularamong his associates, he became an activemember and secretary of the H. McCallBase Ball Club, and took much interestin the affairs of that organization. Hisunexpected death has deeply grieved a large Icircle of relatives and 'friends, to whom theCmar extends its cordial sympathy.

FaM.Ea 's FBsoLc.-About fifty passen-gers took the train for New Orleans at thisplace last Monday, including a delegationof sixteen members of Ascension Hook andLadder Company who went down to par-ticipate in the firemen's annual celebrationon Tuesday as the guests of JeffersonSteam Fire Company No. 22. The boyswere accompanied by the St. Joseph BrassBand and marched to the depot to the in-spiring maicof that organization,~afterpartaking of liquid refreshments on the invitation of sr. Pat Reddington of theMechanics' Exchange, and serenading thenewspaper offices on the way. Arriving atGretna they were met by a large delegationof Jefferson 22, also headed by a band, andwere escorted through the principal streetsof Gretna and across the river to 22'sengine-house, stopping at several saloons to ac-ceptnppreciated courtesieasextended by theproprietors. The parade of the 4th wasone of the finest the. New Orleans firemenhave ever had, and was witnessed by animmense number of people, notwithstand-ing the drizzling rain which fell during agreat portion of the day. In the matter ofdecorating the engines, all former attemptswere eclipsed, and it was universally ac-knowledged that the "Lucy Schreiber" ofJefferson 22 had no superiors and few ifany equals in the line. This gallant com-pany made a very fine display, and themembers can well pride themselves uponit. The exempt members rode in carriages,while the actives manned the ropes, pre-ceded by their guests of Davy CrockettNo. 1 of Gretna and Ascension Hook andLadder No. 1 of Donaldsonville. On theway to Canal street in the morning andback again at night, several halts were'made to partake of tendered refreshments,and after roll-call and some speech-mlakingat the engine-house, Jefferson and itsguests were entertained at dinner by theirmarshals. This affair was a pleasant con-clusion of the day's enjoyment, and willnot soon be forgotten by the participants.The officers and members of our Hook andLadder Company present were as follows:Henry Cook, foreman; T. W. Cook, first

assistant; Thos. Harp, second assistant;Jno. P. Forcha, warden; L. E. Bentley,president; A. J. Bethancourt, financial sec-

retary; Jean Fevrier, treasurer; CharlesCook, Charles Collins, S. M. Melancon,Antoine Gomez, J. Bradford, Camille Ber-cegeay, R. Vacarissas, Arnold Ramirez, R.H. Thatcher, H. R. JardeL All are warmin praise of the royal manner in which theywere received and treated by their esteemedfriends of No. 22.

Several members of Phoenix Fire Com-pany went to the city intending to paradewith Irad Ferry 12, but they were so fewin number they decided not to turn out.All theexcursionists are at home again, de-lighted with their trip.
