Pointe Coupee Echo OF the "a Saws :

The Pointe Coupee Echo Of the ID says:
We would call the attention Of the planters on
False River to the critical condition of the levees
on Pointe Coupee, and especially in the neighbor-
hood of Red Store. The leyee in one or two
places has entirely gone, and unless some effort is
made by the planters on Pointe Coupee and False
River to rebuild the few breaks we may expect TO
be oveIhowed again the coming season. 1t Is use
less to hope for any assistance from the Board Of
Public Works for with the Grand Levee they have
as much as they can well attend to, and II that
levee should be built, the danger below will be all
the greater. Do not put 1t of until the last mo.
meDt, bot come out like men, and try to protect
yourselves from the approaching high water.
Only those who help themselves are helped.
The Baton Rouge Advocate OF the lst says
There is every prospect now that Grand Levee
will be completed in time TO Withstand the spring
rise. The river now is very low for the season,
but we never escape water over the banks IN the
spring. The completion of Grand Levee insures
one foot more Of water between that point and
this than would have been thrown upon our le-
wees, had the gap remained open. The long Ines
of levees we're in former times anxi0usly watched
by the planters behind them, and weak, danger
Gus spots were black with labo.ers who were hur.
ried there on the first alarm. Now it is different
few give much attention to their own levees, and
il is matter Of hundreds of dollars Of individual
outisy to strengthen a weak spot In high water
The police juries of the levied parishes should
take the matter vigorously In hand, and require
every weak levee TO be thoroughly repaired pre-
season. is sure to be upon Us before many weeks
elapse. The inspectors should also be empowered
to employ day and night guards, who should &c
over every foot of levee in their charge daily and
nightly when the water is over the banks. Timely
precaufion will insure immunity from disaster from
The coming high water. Will not those interested

How $40 900 RoBBsBy IN BosToS Two
YEARS AGO WAS WORKED UP.-The details OF
the robbery Of the brokers' Office of Charles
Gooding, over two years ago, and the recent cap
ture Of the robbers, show the whole affair to
have been an extraordinary case. The rooDer,
Penny, hired a portion OF the brokers' olnce, and
under pretense Of having his portion OF the store
repaired, with the assistance OF four others VINO
worked az carpenters, committed the robbery OF
the ten thousand dollars in gold at night. The
broker put his case into the hands OF detectives,
and be himself went into the haunts OF thieves,
but was told that the rogues bad gone to Canada.
He soon discovered that five persons were fmpli-
Gated. These were the parties, and two more
men. named Barton and Wilson, English thieves,
who rad gone to New York and had their share
of the gold exchanged there by fence. Learn
ing sfterward that some one had noised the affair
abroad they decided that the fence had blowed.
They then followed him 10 Philadelphia and found
him in bar room. One put his knee in the back
of the suspected traitor and the other cut the
throat Of the unfortunate man. The fence how
ever, recovered, and bis wonld.be murderers are
in Pennsylvania Jail. The victim Of this out
rage gave valuable information. Mr.. Goodng
went TO Canada, where he found aud renewed the
acquaintance of Penny, who revealed something
concerning the robbery. Last Friday, many
months after that renewal of acquaintance,
Penny left Montreal with the tools of q burglar
to commit a burglary In Ogdensburgh, New
York, on the Canada line. The detective was on
tue track and when, on Sunday morning. be
crossed over to 0gdensburgh he was arrestsd.-

J, CATHOLIC EDBCATroN IN BoMBAY.-The re-
cogniti6n blythe Syndicate of the Bombay Uni
versity of st. Mary's Institution a college for
degrees in arts must be regarded striking
fact in the educational movement Scarcely
more than five years have elapsed since the
founding of this educational establishment in
BycnHa by the Jesuits, and. already there are
enrolled within it o larger number of pupils
than in all the other Christian educational in
situations in the city. The staff of professors
provided for the institution will be transferred
to St. Xavier's College soon AS that building
is completed, which it probably viii be by the
end of Nav next. The Romanists have taken
the lead in Christian education in Bombay, and
the zeal of the promoters, as we see has rested
not until suitable buildings have been provided
for carving out the objects in view. 1t is
creditable to the Roman Catholic community
that its members have been able TO establish
such a school as that of st. Mary's at Bycuila,
and college like that of St. Aaylers on the
EspIanade If the teaching capacity of the
of those who have established the college, sue
cess must follow the efforts put forth to adj
vance the rising generation of the Catholic
community And not this only, but as already
the walls of st. Mary's are known to contain
many of Protestant parents so 1T IS to be pre-
sumed that the college, the only college for
| Christians, will receive large number OF Prot
| estant pupils, Whether this is to be considered
good thing in itself, we leave the different de-
! nominations of Protestants to determine All
that we can pretend to decide is that, as ad-
vanced education can only be secured by seek
ing it in n Roman Catholic college, parents ana
friends may feel compelled to send cnlldren
