The following suggestions were made
in the report of President Boyd to the
Board
would respectfully suggest that to
the president and the two professors be
entrusted the preparation of a course OF
study to be reported to the board OF SUI
pervisors at the regular quarterly meet
ings in December; and that meanwhile
the Faculty he empowered to adopt such
course of study as may to them seem best.
1wou]d also suggest that the rules and
regulations of the late Louisiana State
University be temporarily adopted as
those of the new school, subject to such
notifications as the President of the fac
ulty ana the vice president OF the board
of supervisors may deem necessary to con
form to the laws establishing the lnstl-
tute and that said notifications OF those
rules and regulations be reported at the
December meeting of the board OF super
visors.
would further suggest the propriety
of communicating with the honorable the
Secretary of War relative to the assign
! ment of an officer of the United States
Army to this institution to give instruc-
ton in military tactics, strategy, ETC., in
| accordance with general law Of Con-
gress, providing for such assignment to
the several state agricultural and me-
| chanical colleges.
Iwould suggest, too, that the vice pres
ident of the board of supervisors and the
president of the faculty he specially en-
powered to make such arrangements as
they pay deem necessary for the board
and lodging of students in the building
Of the institution, providing that said
boarding department must be sclf-sns'
tanning, and that no part of tho endown'
ment Of the institution shall he used in
tlefraying the expenses Of boarding and
lodging students, and that these two OF
ficers shall report any such arrangement
which they make to the board OF super
yisors at the December meeting.
! There are other matters of Importance
to be laid before the board, but my time
is out and the above is all perhaps that
tho board has now time to consider.

The above observations are in
the maiu correct. The city papers,
however, give more attention to
country interests than the SENTINEL
credits them with; but it is none
the less true that it is the parish
paper which looks fully and espec-
tally after the home interests Of its
people. A we'll edited country pa
per is of invaluable service to a
community, and every citizen Of
the parish should subscribe for it
AID pay for it in advance before he
thinks of taking any other journal.
There are no papers wo read with
so much pleasure as our live coun-
try exchanges: They give US the
class of intelligence which is Of
most importance TO the public, and
through their columns we keep En-,
rapport with the people of every
portion of our own aud neighbo:ing
States.
Among the country papers OF
Louisiana there are a number con-
Quoted with intelligeh ce, spirit
and independence; these papers We
always know represent and intiu'
ence the community in which they
are printed, and we attach great
value to their articles. There are
others which are almost disgrace
to their parishes and deserve Nc
support. They are horribly print
ed; they contain less matter than ar
apprentice could SIT in two days,
and they never furnish Us with al
Intelligent opinion or an item C.
local news. A live, energetic coun
try editor does more for his com
muri,y, and generally gc's les
lay for it, than any other either

KILLED BY LIGHTNING.-JOhn Bowling, %
years of age, was killed by lightning about two
o'clock on Thursday, the 18th inst, on the farm
county, in whose employment he had been for
several years. Mr.. Bowling started with his
horses just after dinner; a storm coming up
before reaching the field, he sought shelter un-
der large oak tree in very exposed position.
The return of one of the horses caused some APP
prehenslon for his safety, and upon going to
look after him, Mr.. Edmondson found him in o
sitting position against the tree, cold in death.
The electricity passed through his hat, entered
the breast near the shoulder, extended the en-
tire length of the body breaking the skin in
several places on his right leg.
Mr.. Bowling was a man of NOSE exemplary
moral character, member of the Baptist
Church, esteemed and respected by all classes
of the community as man of sterling integri-
ty. He leaves dependent widow and four
small children, whose agony of distress is truly
heart-rending.
The first act of generosity, which we trust is
but the forerunner ofmany others, was the do
nation to the widow by physician of his bill
for frequent medical attentions to the family of
the stricke en- father and husband.
The funeral services were conducted on the
following day by Rev. John Taylor in most
appropriate and impressive manner, basing his
remarks upon the text: "Be We also ready for
in such an hour as We think not the Son of man
cometli.'' large and respectful number of
persons assembled, to show by their presence
and their solemn mein their respect for the de-

HOMICIDE AT ORKNEY SP2INGs.-Some time
ago Mr.. James Johnson, living in one ofthe cot
tages near the Springs proper, attacked capt.
Avis, of Charlestown, w. Va, and father of
James L. Avis, of this place, and Capt. Avis
caned him. On Friday afternoon about3 O'Clock,
Capt Avis. who has charge Of the hotel store
room went down to Mr.. Perry's store, kept by
Mr.. Brown Capt. Avis was followed into Mr..
Perry's store by Mr.. johnson who made an at
tack upon him. Capt. Avis, evidently desir-
ing to avoid q difficulty, went out of the store,
Mr. Johnson following him. When on the out
side Mr.. johnson either threw orknoc.ead Capt.
Avis down and jumped upon him. Capt. Avis
turned him, and whilst he had him down struck
him several times with a rock Capt. Avis then
walked to the hotel and Mr.. johnson to his
house. His wounds were dressed, but on Sun
day morning between nine and ten O'Clock
death ended his suffering. On Sunday magis-
trate summoned a jury and held an inquest.
The testimony was conflicting, and the Mags-
trate held Capt. Avis in the sum of $780, Col. ].
w. j. Moore becoming his bondsman.
Mr.. Johnson was buried Monday morning
about one and a-halfmiles from Orkney, near the
sulphur spring. He was nearly fifty years old,
and Capt. Avis is about sixty. The affair was
very unfortunate for both yet, from what we
can learn, Capt Avis was acting in self-defence.

Capt. Avis was we'll known in this city dur
ing the war as Provost Marshal. He was the
jailor of John Brown, and webelieve his hangs
man. Johnson was q hue. kster of milk to the
cabin visitors of the Springs, but had no en-
ployment at or connection with the establish
ment. He had been married. but we learn did
not live with his wife,

LET Us LEARN FROM OTHERS

LET Us LEARN FROM OTHERS
Forty years ago Pennsylvania was very
poor and talked about repudiating her
debt, very much as some silly people in
Virginia do now, and the infamy of the
suggestion was denounced in every COM
mercial center in the world. The repu-
tation of the State received blow from
which it took years of honest dealing
to recover. She finally did recover it,
but only by paying the full interest on
her obligations. This debt, like the
debt of Virginia, had been contracted
for building her public works, digging
canals that have been comparatively
useless, and making turnpikes as our
own was. Hard times pressed upon the
people, and they felt that they never
could pay the interest upon their forty
millions of debt. But let us look at the
sequel and take hope. In a few years
Pennsylvania through the development
of her mining and manufacturing in
terests, entered upon remarkable ca
reer of prosperity, such as is now prom
ised to Virginia, and her debt became
mere bagatelle, 1t no longer troubled
her,-and for many years the only diff
Guilty has been that she is paying it too
fast to suit the convenience of her cred
itors. And SO will it be with Virginia,
and in the very near future. Let us
not despair, but be firm in doing right.

INDIAN REMAINs.-A few days ago there
passed through here on the Chesapeake & Ohio
Road several boxes of Indian remains taken
up in Rockbridge, and on the way to Rich
mon. They were the result of the explorations
of Mr.. Mann S. Valentine of Richmond, who
opened two mounds ON the farm OF Mr.. Bell,
near Goshen. One of the mounds contained
the remains of but one body, a Chief and with
him were buried his paint which was still ca
pable of being used when exhumed his amulet,
beads, some pottery, &C., and the other was ev-
identity a battle mound, containing the remains
Of some fifty warriors. Some of the instru-
ments of warfare and domest use made of
stone showed from the holes drilled through
them that the Indians mast have understood
the use of diamonds in drilling. MI. Valentine,
who is the famous discoverer of the meat juice,
is much given to researches about the aborigi-
mes and has received from the Smithsonian In
stitute at Washington very complimentary let
tiers acknowledging discoveries made by himself
and young son, Mr.. Granville Valentine

BUSINESS FOR EVERY ONE-Our attention
has Been called to a new cooking utensil, re-
Gently invented, which makes baking pleas
ure, instead of dreaded necessity; the inventor
of which has conferred an everlasting blessing
upon every housekeeper. We refer to the Pat
emit Centennial Cake Pan, with which, by rails
ing hook, you can remove the sides OF the
Pan from the cake without breaking or injur-
ing it. How annowing it is, after making up a
nice cake to have it break to pieces getting it
out OF the pan-this can never occur in using
the Patent Centennial Cake Pan. II can also
be converted into plain bottom pan for bak-
ing jelly or plain cakes, bread, etc. They are
sold exclusively through agents to families, and
every housekeeper should by all means have
them. A splendid opportunity is offered to
some reliable lady or gentleman canvasser of
this county to secure the agency for a pleasant
and profitable business. For terms, territory,
etc., write to L.. E. Brown & Co., 2l4 and 2l6 Elm
