ART PUPus.-Miss Spear, who has taught
drawing from the Round and Oil Painting,
for twenty years, and by far the most sc-
cOmplished teacher of Art in the South,
begins her regular engagement at W. T.
Wards Seminary on the LIST of January.
We can now justly say that with a tho
rough Collegiate department, French de-
partment, the unrivalled Music depart
ment, and the department of Art, where
the great principles of the Masters are
taught, this Seminary offers advantagesno
elsewhere found in the Southern country.

LIGHTS AT ODD FELLOWS HALL.-Several
pleasant gentlemen requested one Of the CREs.
CENT reporters to visit Odd Fellows Hall, in their
company, Friday evening. in order to witness the
efficacy of the new burnets aud chandeliers fixed
in every chamber of that building by Capt John
G. Fleming, the unequaled dealer in gas fixtures,
144 Poydrss street. bIuhh as the reporter had
seen Of Capt. Fleming's magnificent depot, where
every imaginable variety If gas, oil and kerosine
lights is 10 be bought, he had no expectation Of
witnessing so grand aud comprehensive an illu.
minaion as he found in the five stories of the i'm
mense edifee. From bottom to top every room
was resplendent as at noon day, and in the ball or
concert hail, the two bronze chandeliers, with
their thirty nine burners, every burner inclosed
in beautiful glass globe, shed light so soft and
at the same time SO brilliant, that nothing more
could be desired. The chandeliers ia the ball
room are certainly tie completest and most elab-
crate and elegant in America.
Those o. our citizens who want their houses
lighted up in handsome and economical manner
have need only to apply 20 John G. Fleming, l4l
Poydres street. who will suit them to simple or
complicated burners chandeliers hall lights, etc.,
of the most beautiful patterns. Hotel keepers,
coffee-house propretors and others can find no
better or more honest and straightforward man in
the gas-ftting business than John G. Fleming.

all times complete stock of flour, comprising
the lowest and choicest grades, together with q
large supply of green meats, bacon, pork, lard,
onions, potatoes, dried fruits, etc, which we are
satisfied can be obtained at the lowest market
rates as the facilities Of the firm for Offering in

most extensive dealers. We therefore suggest TO
the trade the benefits to be derived from examn-
ing this stock ere purchasing and can assure each
and all that any transactions with these parties

agreeable and satisfactory manner.

The SOUTHERN PLASTIC SLATE ROOFING Con-.
PANY.-The adoption of thing by the community
in which it lives is an evidence of its value and
intrinsic worth, and as the style of roofing done
by the Southern Plastic Slate Roofing Company is
being almost universe ly adopted by our citizens,
we feel no hesitancy in pronouncing it as among
the best now used. Those doubling the substan-
tial and intrinsic merits OF this style of roofing are
respectfully referred to the roof Of the large grain
elevator in the Fourth District, which is pronounced
by the knowing ones to be most excellent. The
plastic roof is durable, perfectly watertight and
economical and is considered by the architects of
the Northern cities by far the best. The com
pany, whose Office is at OIL Magazine street, have
roofing materials for sale in quantities to suit pur
chasers. Parties who are building should give
this roofing trial, as il is most expeditously put
on and economical.

introduced by these gentlemen are intended for the
purpose of filing up this destructive void to our
commercial prosperity, and by the immense econ.

triumphs at the State fairs over some Of the most
celebrated competitors, out have been pronounced
by sklful and experienced judges as being fully
capable Of sustaining the high reputation that
have been accorded to them from the most rel
able sources. But we would much prefer that our
planters should satisfy their minds by an ocular
evidence. and as MessrH. Wynn & Farr have, at
all times on hand every description of stationary

TIE STATE SEMISARY. The citizens OF New
Orleans do not seem TO know that we have in this
State an institution that is as capable Of giving
our youth an academic education as any other
similar one in the world. At Alexandria is located
q school, supported by the State, taught By
Louisiana men, filed by Louisiana boys, and yet
to this institution the city Of New Orleans sends
but seven students. Now, this is not as it should
be. While we have every facility Ia our own
State, our boys should not be sent away to other
States 10 obtain their education. Whea they want
collegiate training, send them to the great scho-
lastc institutions OF the land, but when they only
need that which we ourselves can give them, lei
us send them to school that is emphatically our
own,
