We were panied to learn yesterday, as we did
at the Mayors Court that Cain, the unfoi aunate,
individual who was cowardly and dastard!y
attacked in his own house on eth street, night
OF two after Christmas by man named Skahn
and another, who is still at large, is likely to die
of his wounds. Yesterday having been designn-
ted for the examination of Skahn, the Mayor re-
quested Dir. jackson to inform him as to Gains
condition The Doctor stated that he considered
his recovery somewhat doubtful--tllat, in truth,
his condition worse then than it had been at
any time since he received the injuries. During
the past night the unfortunate man had become
dellrious, and he could not predict how the
case mi ght terminate The Ma yor thereupon,
ordereda continuance of the case until to day,
and probably will continued it from day to day un-
tilthe crisis in the wounded mans condition sha Il
have been passed.

We insert the above with much pleasure,
it being but a deserved tribute Of honor to
the Institution spoken Of. We have often
visited Wake Forest College, and take pleas
ure in adding our testimony to the efficiency
Of instruction impaired hy the erudite Pre-
fcssorship, as well as TO the excellency Of the
deportment Of the young gentlemen pursu-
ing their studies there. Among no class Of
men, we believe, is the true principle Of tc-
tai abstinence from Intoxicating drinks more
scrupulously inculcated and observed, than
by those connected with this College. We
rejoice to know it enjoys an extensive repu-
tation for proficiency in instruction and OBJ
s~ervanco Of wholesome discipline.
This note of our Correspondent gives us
an opportunity Of referring to ONE I%nstitu-
tons Of Learning in our State, which were
inadvertently u~nmentioned in q former arti-
Gle on this subject. And first we may al
ludo to tho renowned Female Academy at
Salem, which has been for fifty years known
as one Of the best Institutions in the land
Upwards ofthree thousand young ladies have
been educated within it's time-hallowed walls F;
and the lustrc of It's renown continues I'M
dimmcd, as Is evidenced by the fact that it
has at this time some 225 pupils. Long may
its wcll-earncd laurels cluster around its con-
sccrated walls, and the light Of knowledge
and religious instruction be sent out for ages
to come, enlightening andpurifying the world.
The School Of Rev. Mr.. Lea, of Leasburg,
and Rev. Mr.. Mcdowell, Of Milton, Mr.. Wet
more's of Rockingham, and the Sons of Tenn
porance school at Lumberton, and many 9TH
crs, doubtless, are worthy Of the highest Gu
logiums-but in a brief paragraph, such as
this, and as was our former enc, many omis-
sions may occur without subiecting us to the
charge Of making invidious distinctions
Our course with regard to Education will
bear us out in the remark-we wish all the
most abundent success. We take pleasure
outthe entire State, the Principals and Teach.
ere of the Colleges, Seminarics, Academies
&C., are the firm, fast friends Of Temperance
many, indeed, most Of them, are active, eff
ficient members of some Temperance Asso
citation. With such impressions as they shall
make upon the minds Of the rising genera
ton on this important question, is there no
:, good reason to believe that when hey shall
, enter upon the busy theatre of life, we ma,
expect IN advance movement in this grea
, reform. Heaven prosper every agency, ed
