ST. L. l. X. R. R.-Mr. Angle aud
Dr.. Carpenter were 10 Troy last Satur-
day to see what could be done iu the
way Of rssuuing work on the St. Louis
and Keokuk railroad. They have for
fsited their contract by abandoning the
work, the time of Suspension having now
exceeded thirty days. These gentlemen
appear very anxious to commence work
again, and speak confidently Of carrying
The work on rapidly. They have, how
ever, already shown their inability to do
this, 10 stopping the work and failing to
pay of their hands. We see no other
reason for their action, unless they we're
prevailed upon BY parties favoriug an.
other route, in order to give them time to
msturs their scheme but such . charge
carries With it sn intiustios Of "bargsin
and sals," which 10 would hesitate 10
making. We prefer to believe the first,
that they we're not able 10 comply with
the contract; and not being able thes, Il
would, to ssy the least, BE- hasardous to
renew this contract sitsr their forfeiture.

CHRISTIAN INSTITUTE ExAMINATIN -
fast Monday the annual examination Of
this Institute closed, the day being do
voted to the graduating cless, consisting
Of Misses Lena May. Lou. HUT, JEANNE
u. Morrison and SalIie Crump. The
class acquitted themselves in an admira'
bic manner, to the pride and qualification
of their friends. The exhibition will
take place this Thursday evening, aud
as the faculty have decided, as was stated
last week, to charge an admission fee Of
twenty Eve cents, We feel it incumbent
upon us to soy that the proceeds will be
contributed towards the improvement Of
the cemetery, near this place. It will,
doubtless, be largely attended. aud it in
keeping with past entertainments Of this
character given at the Institute, will be
highly gratifying to oil Who witness it..
1t is with regret that we learn this is
the last term that will be under the
guidance and tuition Of Prof. Christian
and his accomplished lady. He contem
plates retiring from his present avocatiou
for the purpose Of practicing law, and will
shortly leave Troy for New London, Rails,
county, whero he exE ects to commence
his labors 10 the legal profession. The
| Institute under the tuition Of himself
and lady has been admirably conducted
aud their places as seachers will be diff
cult to supply. May success attend
them on whatever sea their bark may be
cast.
