YEsT1E next session Of .fathsps .acaasmy will be-
n gin on Monday the ith Of January l64l. The
buildings have lately undergone repairs. and are
now IN good order to receive a large number Of pu-
pills. The Trustees have employed three teach-
ers besides the Rector to give instruction in all
the branches Of an aeademical education. Boys
are prepared either for the College or Counting
Room, as parents or guardians may direct. The
morals Of the pupils committed to the Rectors
charge will be carefully watched.
Jackson, where the Academy Is situated, is con-
nected by railroad with the Mississippi River
aordng every facility to persons wishing TO visi-
the place. It presents opportunities for the edn-
cation Of families not equaed in the Southern
lcounfry. The College of Louisiana, one Of the
Oldest literary institutions in the State is situated
here; besides which there are several Female Sem
inaries in successful operation.
The health Of the place may be known from the
| fact that, although upwards Of 200 pupils, male
and females annually attend the literary institutions
sickness is scarcely ever known among them.

CIVIL WARM TEXAS.

For some time past the parties IN East
ern Texas known as the Regulators and
Moderators, have been induIging in sed-
tiouS broils and feuds, committing retalia-
tory acts of outrage upon the lives and pro-
pertv Of the citizens, rendering the peace
and security Of the community prccarious
in the extreme. The violent measures Of
each party have at length, we are informed
provoked the Government Of Texas to &C
tive measures for their suppression, and
the Colonel COmmandant Of the militia Of
San Augustine county has received orders
to draught two hundred men to quell the
tratorous factions. There will no doubt
be some blood shed in the event of an en-
counter. The militia may be joined by
the Regulators, but it is believed that the
MOderators will be routed out. The OBJ
Ject which primarily brought the rcgula-
tors together was the honorable wish TO
rid the community Of the more inveterate
of large band Of Ioa(ers, rowdies and
gamblers, who were residing in their midst,
and sadly lnJurlng the interests of the
community by their ungoverned and law
less conduct. The Moderators have risen
into distinction by opposing all the acts of
the Regulators. In their ranks are this
band of desperadoes. Both parties are
large in numbers, and comprise a great
portion of the inhabitants. They have re-
gularly chosen captains and commanders;
their discipline, too, is based on an arbitra-
ry and military code. Whenever a band
OF either party meet together battle en-
sues, and the victors carry off their priso-
ners in triumph to their head quarters.-
So has the battle been hitherto waging,
and so it would continue, only increasing
IN the number Of combatants, were no stop
put to it by Government 1t is but the
other day that professional gentleman by
the name Of DR.. Butler, while riding near
Shelbyville, was attacked by one of these
parties, and his horse shot from under him
and himself wounded. AS to the amount
OF citizens they have taken from their pur-
suits in life, and made prisoners, it is i'm
possible TO ascertain. There has been,
however, a rumor in town that the Mode
Tators had lately made capture Of thr-
teen. We hope that sufficient and ample
provisions will be made ty the Texas Co
vernment for their entire determination
and in the meantime we have to wish eve
ry success to the patriotic citzens,of San
Augustine county.

HARD FIGHT.-On Thursday last, as
farmer was returning home from town al-
ter disposng of his load Of marketing; he
had passed the bridge this side Of Florissant
and entered the woods on the opposite side,
when he heard something cry like a child,
and stopped his team to see what it could
be. 1t was about 9 O'Clock in the evening,
and the moon was shining very bright
After stopping a few minutes and hearing
nothing he again started, when the same
noise and crying was repeated, apparently
nearer than before, and he again stopped
and got out Of the wagon. He had no
sooRor got out than large panther sprang
at him from the limb Of tree near the
road, but missed him. Being possessed Of
great presence Of mind he caught the pan
Their by the tail, and hoying but a wagon
whip in his hand, his only chance was to
prevent the "varmint" from turning on
him. We must give his own account as
near as VIC can, and you will perceive from
his lingo that he was Dutchman. L" VEIL"
he said, "when gets him by the tail he
tries TO jump dis way, and then pulls him
dis way, and gives him little dump NIT

TIIE METEORS.

On the very interesting subject which
has Of late occupied SO much of public at
tention, both in Europe and Amcrica-,thc
periodical return of the meteors in August
and November-wc have been favored
with the following communication from Sir
John HcrSchoIl:
CoLLINGwooD, August Is, 1871.
SR:--Thc bright moonlight of the 9th
inst. having prevented my obtaining salts
factory observations Of the mcteorS, to
whose periodical return on the 9th and
l0,h of this month Professor Quetclet has
drawn much attention, as being more re-
gular than the displays OF the 10Th and
18th of November, allow me, in place Of
observations for the current year, to Offer,
Us my contribution TO our stock of knowl-
edge on the subject, the following inciden
tai mention of such an occurrence which
occurs in Sir W. Hamilton's account of
the great eruption of Vcsuvius in August,
1893, after describing the phenomena Of
the eruption during the day, Till 7 o'clock
at night, when all was calm, Sir w. Ila-
milton goes on TO say: it was universally
remarked that the air this night, for ma
ny HOulS "ItCI TIC Gil ptlOb, was Hllcu Will
metcors, such as are vugarly called fall
ing stars They shot generally in hori
zontal direction, leaving luminous train
behind them, but which quickly disappear
ed. The night was remarkably fine, star
light and without cloud. This kind of
electrical fire seemed to be harmless, and
never to reach the ground; whereas that
with which the black volcanic cloud of last
night was pacgnant appeared mischievous
like that which attends a severe thunder

FIRST GUN.--A little boy got his grand
fathers gun and loaded it, but was afraid
to fire it; he, however, liked the fun of
loading, and SO put in another charge, but
was still afraid to fire. He kept on charg-
ing but not firing until he had got six
charges into the old piece. His grand
mother learning his temerity, smartly re-
proved him, and graspng the old continent
tai, discharged it. The recoil was ire
mendous, throwing the old lady on her
back; she promptly struggled to regain her
feet, bat the boy cried out, {" Lay still
granny, there are five charges more to go
off yet"

EXTRAORDINARY OccURRENCE.-The
following relation appears in the SentimeHc
OF Ieulon, on the authority of letter
from Algiers. a lady Of Algiers who
some time ago buried one of her children,
recently obtained permission from the mu-
nlclpal authorities TO have the grave and
coffin opened, for the purpose Of placing
in the latter Il stl-born infant. The cof-
fin was found to be entirely empty, and
an inquiry being set on foot as TO the cause
of the disappearance Of the remains of the
first child, it was ascertained that the
grave-dlgger who is the owner of AN I'M
mcdSe number of pigs, and who supplied
most OF the pork butchers Of Algiers, fed
his pigs with the corpses which he buried!
In his house were large quantities Of hui
man flesh chopped up, and on examining
the graves in the cemetery, every coffin
was found empty. A discovery was also
made in the house Of the graye-digger, Of
Jewelry TO the value Of about fifty thou
sand francs, which had been buried with
the bodies. The criminal is arrested and
the prosecution is going on; but, what a
dreadful reflection it is for many to think
that they have been eating pork fed with
the flesh of their own relatives! The use
Of pork has been interdicted for some time
and all the grave-digger's pigs have, by
order OF the Procureur General, been killed
and instantly buried

run off into the woods. ooh de tivel-no,
no! if | have let go his tail it would be bad
business" Well, what did you do with
him? "Vell, | says go along to mine
horses, and | drives him home, and my
son lac dakes up de axe and knocks him
on de head" The distance he drove the
''varmlnt" was over three miles. During
the fight he beabored the animal so unmer-
cIiuIIy with his cart whip, that he became
conquered, and only attempted once TO turn
apon the wagner, in the Whole distance.
