Immediately after divine services at theCatholic church last Sunday, the pews weresold and brought in over $f4oo; the highestprice paid was $39 for s- six-place pew, andt .e lowest $lo for a two-place pew. Thiswasfor the pews held by the white people.

Mr. Otto, the butcher, organized andcarried out a unique parade last Saturday .At the head was the standard bearer, carrying the national flag, immediately behind,ina. large carriage, was the brass band, thencame on foot a colored man carrying the axof execution, and bringing up the rear wasthe "baeuf gras" gayly bedecked with flam-ing colors, led a by colored man.

A gentleman from Crowley was in TheGazette office Sunday, and -reported thatsurveyors had been busy tracing a line fromAbbeville to Esthewood Station, for a pro-jected railroad between the two points.From what this gentlemon says this work isbeing done under the auspices of the Calca-sieu Rice Milling company. If this road isbuilt it will open a market for all the riceproduced in that section, and must redoundto the profit of the farmers of all that sec-tion of country.

Wm. Kleburg, assistant manager of theWaters, Pierce Oil Company, with head-quarters at Marshal, Texas, spent Mondayin Lafayette checking out the old andchecking in the new agent; Mr. Jno. I. Bell,the former agent, having been promoted tothe Shreveport agency. Mr. Bell had beenhere for the past fourteen months andproved himself to be at all times a pleasantand accommodating gentleman, and TheGazette feels that himself and family willbe missed by a large circle of friends; ourlost will be Shreveport's gain. We trustMr. Bell will meet with success in his newhome. To Mr. J. G. Broussard, the affablepresent agent, The Gazette extends amost hearty welcome.

A vision of loveliness stepped nimbly inThe Gazette office last Saturday and prof-fered the request that her name be inscribedon the subscription list, as she desired tosubscribe for the paper for her own-self.We hastened to comply with her request ands•e is now enrolled in The Gazette circle.We just want to add that we strongly sus-pect that pater familias corralled his copyevery Saturday, and after he had perusedit at his leisure, turned it over to his betterhalf, who in turn took a rest right thereand then from her household cares, and be-fore it reached the young miss, some timenecessarily elapsed, thus placinga tax on her patience ; this she de-clined to endure any longer, andnow she will have her own copy. To fare-stall any unecessary impatience to any one,our advice to the young !ady is to prevailon the old gentleman to adopt the plan ofthe head of a family of four in this town,and that is, to see that every member of thefamily is supplied with their own copy. Itworks like a charm, we are assured.

Easter Celebration.The Easter celebration at the Catholic

church, last Sunday, was observed with un-usually grand and impressive ceremonies,and the church was taxed to its utmost bythe large number of people in attendance.

Solemn high mass was sung at 9:30 o'clock,the Rev. E. Forge officiating, assisted byFather de Stockhalper, S. J., as deacon, andFather Seguin, S. J. as sub-deacon. FatherP. J. Healy was master of ceremonies. Mr.Seguin, S. J., was the orator of the day, anddelivered amost eloquent sermon, having forhis subject the "Resurrection of the Lord."

The handsome altars were most artistical-ly decorated with a profuseness of varie-colored flowers, beautifu fly arranged, andthe colors so exquisitely blended so as toform a gorgeous and pleasing harmony.

The choir was exceptionally fine, withMiss E. Mouton as organist; sopranos, MissesA. Judice, E. Gerac, N. Bailey, Gadratand Aimee Mouton, M. Cornay; altos, Mrs. E.Mouton and Mr. Henry Gerac; tenor, Dr.Frank J. Mouton; bass, Messrs. H. A. Eas-tin and Sam Plonsky. The solos werecharmingly rendered by ,Misses Alix Judice,Nellie Bailey, Estelle Gerac, and Messrs.H. A. Eastin, Dr. F. J. Mouton and HenryGerac.

Tke elaborate services concluded withthe benediction.

The Telephone Line.From a source entireqly reliable we are in

a position to inform our readers that it hasbeen definitely decided by the manager ofthe Teche and Vermilion Telephone lineto include.Lafayette in the circuit, and thatwork on the extension will begin next week,starting from Breaux Bridge.

The company, it may be remembere',had asked a helping hand from the peopleof Lafayette, but as it was not forthcoming,the company, we presume, deeming thefield very promising, came to the very sensi-ble conclusion to put out their own means.

T"his will be good news to our people,-iho entertained a fear that they would be

left out in the cold, thereby leaving them tothe mercy and continuance of a heavy toll.

this pap• received a telegram MondAy s~iSt. Martinville. The telegraph ofieblank shows that it- came via New Orleans,in dace of the fact that this town is onlytwenty odd miles from St. Martinville, whileNew Orleans is- 144 miles. Now With thetelephone line in the circuit with her neigh-bors, we could have talked over a matter ofsome importance, and despatched it in a fewminutes, at a much less cost, and without theunnecessary task and time involved in its set-tlement by the present mode.

The Gazette had its tow line out for thisline, and is happy to state that it did notpart. And now, The Gazette feels that ithas a right to extend its hand and shakewith the people over the near realization ofa very useful adjunct to their convenience,as well as a saving to their purses.

The Easter Sunday celebrationwas up to the expectations of all.As large a crowd never before gat-hered to our town; people fromevery corner of the parish came toparticipate in the celebration. Dan-cing was indulged in until a verylate hour and the hall was so packeduntil the last moment that no dis-crimination could possibly be madebetween the professional and theamateur dancer. Socially and fin-ancially it was the greatest successsince many seasons.

Quite an unusual occurrance hap-pened last Monday. A weddinghad been decided upon for thatday; preparations had beenmade- from - nick-nacks downto "boulettes"-and every Sardana-palus anticipated a hearty repast butlo! to their great discomfiture, oneof the principals failed to show up.Mr.- having all at once becomeimpressed with the grave, responsi-bilities of marriage, availed himself 1of the advantage of the S. P. R. R.and made his escape to- parts un-

-- .- wet w eep t ' it? ftears of disappointment-and theguests "Invited and uninvited-sandthe colation; well, no feast withouta wedding, some body else mustjoin destinies-none could -befound who would do so, hence theguests also met with bitter disap-pointment because the chances arethat pies, etc., must have been pre-served until some one else decidesto give them a trial.
