Rapides Collegiate Institute.

We omitted last week the usual Gus
tom of calling attention to a new ad-
vertisement, in the case of the card Of
Messrs Bringhurst & Hunterannounc-
ing their Intention of opening an &C
cademy Institution for the education
Of boys or young men and preparing
them to enter college either here or
elsewhere. This omission was entire
ly accidental and owing to our atten-
ton not having been called to their
advertisement. Good wine however
says the prover5, needs no BRAID and
these young gentlemen brought up,
and SO well and so favorably known
in this community need no recommen-
dation from us to insure them success
in the honorable though arduous occu-
patton they intend to embrace or rath-
or We should say that one of them in
tends, as the other unless We are mis-
taken has already had some expert
ence aud gained a good deal of credit
in the profession.
Both of them we have no doubt have
all the requisite qualities for instruc-
tors in all they profess to instruct in.
Both are graduates of Collegiate In
stitutions of a high order, and Mr..
Bringhurst having spent some time at
college in Germany, the head centre
as might be said of learning, sci nee
and literature of all kinds and being
besides young gentleman of no ordi-
nary natural ability must be peculiar
]y adapted to the profession.
Added to these recommendations as
to the principals of the proposed insti-
tute, the location selected is another
great inducement to parents aud guar
dams, here, as we'll as abroad. Far
enough from the river and town to be
perfectly healthy and safe from any
travelling epidemic, it is near enough
to be convenient both to residents
here aud visitors by steamboat or 9TH
erwise, and in short the prospectus
which the principals have issued, sets
forth so many inducements and ad-
vantages, that we can not doubt it
will have the desired effect. 50 So

Treadway's rancho yesterday, between
two and three o'clock, vas jostled by
some empties that were turned into
the switch against it. The chain of the
brake which was tightly drawn. snapped
and the old c. P. box started down the
steep grade on its mad career. A brakes
man jumped on board and tried to stop it
but the job proved to mnch for him, he
very prudently jumped of, and allowed
her to slide. Down it came rafting and

OUR NEW SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNOR.
Mr.. Thornton appeared first in the
Capitol yesterday. He is quite a young
man-younger than his predecessor even.
He is handsome and we presume will not
be less favorite with the ladies than the
lately appointed Justice B. We are not
apprehensive of having to take anything
back when We say that he is all energy,
that he is possessed of much information
and Of rare fuency and power in con-
versation. We extend our warmest well
come to the young gentleman, feeling
assured that our estimate of him based
upon an interview of only few minutes
length, will be more than confirmed to
the people when they have had an oppor-
tunity to look at him more closely, and
to criticize him while actively employed
in the discharge of his official duties.

She was walking upon the railroad track
near her fathers house when she heard a
whistle blow, and being frightened
turned suddenly to run away. As she
stepped upon the rail her foot turned
and was badly sprained. We heartily
sympathize with the modest and en-
gaging young sufferer, and hope to see
her out again in a few days as merry and
as happy as ever.
