Straight University.

The examination of this institution. pre-
vious to the summer vacation, closed yes
terday. The exercises were all of the
higher classes, those of a lower grade hav-
ing been finished on the previous day. The
examinations of the Latin and Greek
classes were creditable to the diligence and
studious habits of the pupils, and the whole
course must have been highly satisfactory
to the friends of the institution and to the
parents and friends of the children present
The following roll of honor for the
academical and normal departments in
cludes regularity of attendance and de-
pertinent, as well as scholarship: Jennie
Miller, Mary johnson, Maggie Coleman,
Alice Carrian, August Toussaint, George
Kellar, Albert Gabriel, William A. Brown,
Cora Smith, Charles Bourgeois, Marie
Francois, Edward Field, Fannie Aliod
Edgar Frances, Florence johnson. j. D.
Kennedy, John Larche, Matilda Wakefield.
The constant progress that Straight Uni
versity has made, through many difficulties,
evinces that the corps of teachers are fully
equal in qualification to any other similar
body throughout the country. Since the
commencement of the academic year now
about to close, the institution has had
the benefit of the cooperation of Professor
J. F. Fuller to supply the vacancy occa-
stoned by the resignation of Professor
Tucker Professor P. NJ. Williams is asso-
ciated with Professor Fuller in the higher
departments, assisted by Mrs. NJ. l.. Marsh,
lady of remarkable ability and attain
ment. The other teachers (all excellent in
their departments) are Mrs. NJ. V. Marshall,
Miss S. F. Hitch, Miss Nellie A. Ansell, and
Miss NJ j. Thompson-the last named lady
having formerly been a pupil. We learn
that Mrs M. L. Marsh, whose talents have
attracted much attention, will teach a
night school during vacation.
Last evening, concert was given by kel-
ly's splendid Union Band, for the benefit of
the university. And tonight, the grand ex-
hibition takes place, comprising readings,
defamation, dialogues, Rotations, music,
etc. No doubt the occasion will be one of
great interest.

This is from the Shreveport Gazette:

On Monday evening, about five o'clock,
a difficulty occurred between Mr.. r. HI.
Parker, of this parish, and Mr.. 2. NJ. Gate
wood, of johnson county, Texas, which
arose from transaction in cattle. Angry
words passed, when Mr.. Gatewood at
tempted to draw his pistol, and Mr.. Parker
fired two shots with derringer pistols. One
shot struck the end of GatewOod's thumb,
and entered the left side above the heart;
did not penetrate the lungs, but glanced
around. The wounds are not considered
dangerous. GatewOod, after he was shot,
drew pistol and snapped cap at Parker.
Both of these parties are respectable men,
and very friendly prior to the difficulty.
Mr.. Parker lives five miles from the city,
and after the shooting, which occurred in
front of Hays & c., at the west end of
the city railroad, went out home. We
learn that officers were sent out to arrest
him. As he has always sustained the repu-
tation of peaceful, law abiding citizen,
we take for granted that he will give bond
and stand his trial

The Killing Business.
From the Opelousas journal

From the Opelousas Journal
The circumstances of the killing of Mr..
Andre Prud homme by John Sonnier, in
Prairie Mamou, which we mentioned last
week, are these:
An orphaned nephew, boy, of Sonnier's
lived with Prud'bomme, and had been cor
rected. logged, by him; he complained to
his uncle Sonnier, who went to Pru-
d'homme's house, called him out to the gate,
drew his pistol, and told him he was going
to kill him. Prud 'homme started to retreat
to the house, when Sonnier shot him through
with ore ball, and burst two other caps at
him. This happened at five o'clock in the
morning of the fifteenth instant, and Pru-
d'homme died about three o'clock in the eve
ming of the same day. The deceased was
about sixty-three years old, and his slayer
twenty-seven.
No effort was. made in the neighbOrhoed,
we understand, to arrest Sonnier; and before
the Sheriff's deputies could reach there, he
had made his escape, probably going to
Texas.
This makes four men who have been
lately killed in this parish: Wallace and
Bruce Small, May l5 at Big Cane, by w.
NJ. Keller, who escaped; Pierre s. Guidry,
June ), at Barry's Landing, by Raymond
Deshotel, who surrendered himself, had a
preliminary examination, and was let to
bail in the sum of $1,000 for his appearance
at the next term of the district court; and
Andre Prud 'homme, June Is, by John
Sonnier.
This killing business will never be stopped
until there is some legal hanging done.
Illegal killing. if it does not find many ad-
vocates is certainly practiced to a great ex-
tent; but it is very difficult to find jury,
who have sufficient regard for their oath,
and the sanctity of human life, and who
have the moral courage to find a murderer
guilty Hungry thieves are found guilty,
and sent to the Penitentiary for shedding
the blood of hogs and beeves; but when a
man willfully and maliciously sheds the
blood of human being, he generally goes
free

Chicago Orders Fountains from New Or
leans.


Since the completion of the ornamental
fountain at the junction of Canal and Camp
streets, the structure with its machinery
has afforded a source of pleasure to thou
sands of our citizens, whose occasions lead
them to the neighborhood, and more es
peeially has it been the delight of the juven
lies, who stand hour after hour gazing with
wondering eyes at the play of the fountain
with its Accomplishments.
Our readers are of course aware that this
fountain was constructed by the enterprise
of Mr.. j. o. Belknap, and the public spirit
of Mr.. George Cronan, the eminent iron
founder. We learn from Chicago papers
that these gentlemen have already received
orders to erect similar fountains in that
city.
Mr. Belknap has had correspondence
with Mayor Mason, of Chicago, on the sub
ject, and that gentleman submitted the mat
ter to the Board of Public Works, who at
once approved the plan.
The Chicago Times of late date, in con-
Guiding an elaborate description OF the
fountain in this city, says: 1.-The city com
missioners have taken the matter into con-
sideration, and it is probable that Chicago
will have one or two, and if they are liked.
more of these beautiful ornaments in the
public parks"
We understand that our enterprising citi-
zen, j. T. Tucker, Esq, who is ever ready to
promote every industry in the Crescent
City, gave the projectors of this work the
benefit of his extensive Chicago acquain-
lance and influence to assist them with the
Board of Public Works of that city.
1t is to be hoped that more of these toun-
tains will be erected in our city, and we
NAV add that for their enterprise and pub
lie spirit Messrs. J. o. Belknap and George
C1onan undoubtedly deserve the credit OF
public benefactors.
