Rapides Collegiate Institute.

We omitted last week the usual Gus
tom of calling attention to a new adj
vertisement, in the case of the card OF
Messrs Bringhurst & Hunter annOunc-
ing their Intention of opening an ac
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 OF rath-
or we should say that one of them i'll
tends, as the other unless We are mis-
taken has already had some expert
ence and gained 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
situations of a high order, and Mr.
Bringhurst having spent some time al
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
u adapted to the profession.
Added to these recommendations al
to the principals of the proposed insti
tute, the location selected is another
great inducement to parents aud guar
dams, here, as well as abroad. Fal
enough from the river and town to bt
perfectly healthy and safe from any
travelling epidemic, it is near enough
to be convenient both to RESIDENT
here and visitors by steamboat or 9th
erwise, and in short the prospectus
which the principals have issued, set
forth so many inducements and adj
vantages, that we can not doubt il
will have the desired effect. IS,
