STRANGE Co1Nc1DENcE.-Alet letter from
brother of Major Anderson to gentleman
in New York, mentions the following Curl
GUS coincidence:
1t is very strange coincidence that my
father was that Captain of the Continental
line" who by mistake of his superior began
the battle of Trenton, where Robert was so
long stationed. And, as Major, he was a
prisoner of war in actual jail, fed only on
rice, with the smallpox for dessert, in the
very Charleston where his son of the same
rank is now stationed--the former under
Tarlton, the latter under Buchanan. What
a coincidence.

chiefly in discussing the bill reported from spe-
cial committee on the division of the State. The
bill proposed to give assent to the Legislature to
the division, and recommending the Convention
shortly to re assemble snd take immediate action.
Discussion developed pretty strong element op-
posed to any division. A good many favored i'm
mediate action, on the ground that when the State

obtained. and they wanted to make use of the
advantage.

to remain few days longer Mt their camp until

~A friend of ours who visited the Catholic
Academy in this city, conducted by Sister st.
Ambrose Superior, states to US that in respect to
the accommodations of the building for pupils and
boarders there is no where to be found building
so well adapted for its purposes. Its halls are
airy, its porches are wide and convenient both as
respects school rooms and sleeping rooms; its
ceilings are lofty with windows affording ample
ventilation throughout the building and in all its
appointments the Academy is worthy of the eff
forts of the indefatigable Superior, and of the
sisters Of the mother academy, who, through
the efforts of the congregation of this city, have
sustained and encouraged the institution.
This is a branch of the institution of the isis
tiers of Providence of st. Marys of the Woods"
founded by Mother Theodore, which is now en-
joying the fruits of long labor and of trying cir
cumstances
The Mother Institute is now erecting and
about completing magnificent building formed
upon plan enlarged sufficiently to accommodate
the increased and still increasing number of pu-
pills who are DESTROYS of receiving education IN
der its tuition.
The Mother Of this Institution, Mother Ce-
ella, was until the decease of Mother Theodore,
Superior of the Academy at st. Marys, and
into her care and management is confided the su-
perintendence of the Mother Institution and its
branches.
We may say that the success which the Acad
envy here has met with il ample evidence of the
necessity which required its establishment. 1t:
prosperity, under its present management will bt
commensurate with the growth, Importance anC
intelligence of our city and people.
