town of struggling dogs, some pretty
good ones having been sent, with the

We want to recommend to our real-
ers a reliable New Orleans business
man, one who is faithful, upright and
obliging. He is an extensive dealer in
steam engines, boilers, pumps, ma
chinery, &C., and is ono of the most
proficient machinists in the South. He
sells reasonably, and likes to have peo-
pie call and see him. This man is Col.
C. S. Hunt, No. 1856 Gravier Street,
New Orleans. If Col. Hunt ever did a
disreputable act, it was in making
a contest for seat in Congress, and for
that he ought to be forgiven.
REV. MR.. LAwsoN's LECTURE. -
We had the pleasure of listening to a
very learned lecture by the Rev. Mr..
Lawson at the Ouachita Female Acad-
envy, now under the control of Miss
Sallie c. Cox. The lecture was upon
and was in q great measure historical,
and showed deep research and profound
thought. It has seldom been our lot to
hear such an interesting lecture, so full
of interest to young and old and giving
such solid information upon our own
language. The attendance was not such
rs to convince us that Mr.. Lawson is
appreciated to the full standard of his
true worth. We fear Monroe is not
mindful of her educational interests.
Next Friday Mr.. Lawson will lee
ture again. His subject will be,
"Wheth er thorough course of Mathe-
MATES should be taught in our Female
Institutes The subject is of practical
interest to all parents, and we hope tc
see a crowded house at that time.

lie Cox comes up fully to all we have
heard, and we are sure she will build w
this Institution and make it an honol
