After the close of the game at Na
poleonville, three cheers for the As
sumption nine were given by the
Burnside boys, which were heartily
returned by, their antagonists, and
they were invited to a dinner of which
they were nothing loth to partake,
spread for their benefit at the Wash
ington Hotel at the expense of the
Assumption club. At 6 o'clock in the
evening they started for home, arriv
ing here at 9.
In conclusion, we must say that the
members of the Burnside club, indi
vidually and collectively, conducted
themselves in a very gentlemanly
manner throughout the entire game
and reflected much credit upon them
selves and Donaldsonville. Better suc
cess to them next time.

eminently the best Western farm and
fireside journal. It is original, reliable
and comprehensive, each number pre
senting a rich variety of instructive
and entertaining matter. Issued week
ly, its contents are always fresh and
seasonable, and notwithstanding its
present high standard of excellence,
its uniform progressiveness warrants
the expectation that it will be a bet
ter paper next year than ever before.
Through design especially to meet the
wants of Western, Northwestern and
Southern farmers and industrial men
and their families, it is also just what

about Westiern farming, fruit growing,
tree planting, cost of land improved
and unimproved, character of soil and
climate, mode of civilization, average
yield, etc.
