The Solitary Grave.

Irlpune. writing from the Wind
River Valley, on the Plains, de-
scribes bivouac of the soldiers
stationed on that post, and relates
the following incident:
At the further side of a meadow
stood log hut, and near it stood
a solitary grave. Here, all alone,
had lived an old man named
Frcnchy, until last May, when the
Sioux murdered him. He was q
queer case, and came from Cana
da, where he has a brother living,
who is wealthy. Old Frenchy, as
he is called, kept no arms, and did
not believe the Indians would
harm him. Tho frontiersmen re-
monstrated with him, and an of.
fcer passing one day with troops,
s eos long before he was killed, of.
,ereu y, - 70 I ,end him a gun and some
wnnId I.,IHl ha n;l,,oa assuring him h Q
clined, saying, 81 have never done
them any harm, why should the
Indians wish to hurt me Z" In the
East Frenchy would have been
called n Quaker, but ont here ev.
erybody called him a crazy.headed
old fool. One day last May, while
he was planting potatoes, a party
OF Sioux rushed down from the
hills upon him, and after shooting
linn through the body, stuck a pick
through his temples, so the point
stuck in the ground, and SO left
him, after stripping off his clothes.
MAJOR Baldwin, with a party of
citizens from South Pass, found
him next day and buried him.
His real name was La Cour. and
no persistently claimed that his
father had served as a brigadier
general under Napoleon, and that
ne had great relatives in France.
Old Frenchy's house was curious
structure, and worthy of a sketch
in Harper.
Near where he lived the timber
was very large, and as the poor
old man had no horses and no one
to help him, he had to cut the thick
logs in short pieces 80 as to be able
to drag and lift them. With a
rope he had hauled some of these
logs moro than q mile, and it was
incredible to see what heavy ones
he had lifted on his house, and
how nicely lie had joined the ends
together, it taking two and some. |
times three lengths to reach along |
one side of the building. He had |
made an old.fashioned shaving. |
horse, and with a rusty shaving. |
knife had hewed down poles and |
made chairs, tables and hunks. |
Inside he had an extra bed nicely |
fitted up; and to sleep here and |
partake of whatever he had to eat |
in his cabin, all white men and In |
clans were welcome. He never |
refused to divide what he had will, |
whoever came, and was the friend |
of all alike.
Savage, indeed, must have been
he nature, and hard the hearts, of
hose who, in cold blood, conld
murder such poor old man. We
elr, as we looked at his lonely
grave, that had we his murderers
n our power they soon should pay
he forfeit of their crime; but
iome frontiersmen seem to have

F." Father, Come Home" This was quite
perfect in it's kind. Miss Nellie O'Brien
sang various other pieces than the one pre-
viously mentioned, and always with the
softest, sweetest of voices. Several other
young ladies, whom we do not now remem-
Der, also sang very WELL Miss Mary
johnson detained piece, The Neglect
ed Child" with great distiactness and APP
probation, and Miss Maggie Wynd another
on " Labor" and no doubt other declama-
tions, which we either missed or eannoe
now recall, were wei worthy of notice.
Mr.. Jovian, by way of affording variety,
also introduced songs and scenes by parties
not precisely members of the school, but
whose talents helped to make the occasion
more pleasant to all. There were Ethiopian
scenes by a local club, and vocal quartettes
by Messrs. Ennis, Smith, Centlivre and
Rideau-all very well executed indeed.
The most amusing incident of the whole
entertainment was musical farce by
German couple, where singing, dancing
and laughing were all mixed up with the
enumeration of various musical instrn-
ments for which the parties expressed
prediction and upon which they proceed
ed to give imaginary performances. I'm
fortunately we do not know the names OF
these7two actors. A young gentleman ia
vored the assemblage with some spirited
and remarkably skilful, performances on
the violin, and Miss Cannon, the accom-
plshed young lady organist of st. Ann's
Church, sang several beautiful pieces. The
brass band in attendance did itself great
credit.
In conclusion, we must add that Mr..
+ Hartung, who trained the children in their
songs and presided at the piano, deserves
special mention for the diligence and good
taste withJwIich he prepared his depart
ment. Several of the local clergy were
present each evening, and at the close Of
al, Rey. Father Smith, of st. Joseph's
geve an address, which was SO happy and
pointed that we should like to reproduce il
! il wei had space but with our warm con
CALCULATIONS to Father Cornelius on The
complete success of his zeal and energy in
this most important enterprise, we must
close. .,, -

ST. PATRIcK,s PARoCuIAL SouooL.-It
will be remembered that Rev. Father Fla
nagan succeeded, several months ago, in
organizing paroehial school after great
exertion and under many difficulties. We
are happy to find, from an invitation ey~
tended to us by Mr.. Graham, principal,
that the school has progressed sufficiently
TO have its first examination of pupils dur
ing the present season of such displays.
The two evenings dedicated to it are those
of next Thursday and Friday, the 18th and
10Th inst, and though not so much is to be
expected as Of classes that have been in
progress>1 full year; yet we doubt not that
spectators will be amply recompensed for
their attendance.
Exercises commense at P. NJ. in the
school building, on Foucher street, between
Julia and st. Joseph.

Cape Girardeau.

The College of st. Vincent, situated at
Cape Girardeau, Mo-, is>ESell known in this
community. Its IA the charge of the
Lazarist order,/and has for many years
been a favored resort for Louisiana stu
dents. On its present roll we perceive
that>thcy number more than one-ninth of
Che whole.
This institution can be most highly COM
mended to parents who specially desire
their children to be reared in practices of
piety. Though by no means intended as
amere theological seminary, yet the senior
department is devoted exclusively to that
purpose, and the junior, or collegiate depart
ment proper, is SO arranged as to afford n
fitting preparation for the ecclesiastical life
Though many of this department never
go beyond it, or. develop any vocation for
holy orders, yet all receive a good classical
and business education, and participate in
the religious instructions and dcvotions pro-
per under the circumstances. All students
are required to approach the sacrament of
penance every fortnight and for great fes-
rivals. They must attend morning prayer
and ii short meditation, besides mass. In
the afternoon there is spiritual reading,
followed by the rosary. On Sundays and
festivals spiritual conferences are given by
tire + resident and other officers OF the coli
lege.
Parents can thus be assured that their
boys will have none but the best associa-
ton, example and instruction. They may,
of course have no vocation for clerical life,
but they come away thoroughly versed in
their religion, pure i'll their character, and
with habits of virtue strongl y'rooted. These
are considerations, when joined to thor
ough collegiate education, certainly not to
be overlooked.
As is we'll known, the institution is ex-
cellently located for beauty and health, on
high bluff some forty miles above the
mouth of the Ohio, with spacious grounds
many acres in extent. The students have
formed associations for improvement in
eIocution and oratory as also clubs for the
promotion of muscular development. 81
Father y. Verrina, President of tie Col
lege, is now in the city, and may be con-
suited at st. Joseph's Church, Common
street, or st. Stephens Church, Jefferson
City, until the middle of August, when he
will take of the students destined for the
Cape.

cation either to the Rev. clergy of st. Jo-
seph's parish, or to Mr.. Charles Elder, com

~ SISTERS OF PRoyIDENcE.--As previously
announced, fhe corner stone of the. new
Convent for this Sisterhood was laid last
Sunday, the very Rev. Able Perche offieia-
ting, assisted by several others of the
clergy. A great crowd was in attendance,
consisting principally of colored citizens,
whose manner evinced a lively interest in
the proceedings. Their general intelli-
,gence aud responsibility of appearance
showed plainly that much can be expected
of their race when enlisted in the cause of
religion and education.
Our friend August Stuart, Esq, is the
contractor for the work, and of course we
infer from that, that it will be completed
both expeditiously and substantially. The
cause of education among our colored
people who speak English will thon be
fairly inaugurated.
