TRENTON INSTITUTE.

TRENTON, La, June %, 1878.
Editor Telegraph
I take this method of giving your
readers short sketch of the closing
exercises of the Trenton Institute,
which have been going on for the last
few days. The Institute is under con-
troll OF Prof. Robt. A. Smith and Mrs.
Matte Bergman, able and competent
educators. The pupils have stood an
exceptionally good examination, show
ing the thorough discipline and excel
lent training of the teachers in charge
of the Institute, and the intelligence
and brightness of tho young ladies
and gentlemen composing the school,
Monday, Tuesday and "Wednesday
the scholars were examined in the text
books studied by them during the ses-
sion. On Thursday morning the
school was divided for a spelling match,
and boquet OF beautiful flowers was
awarded to Miss Lucy Morris for the
best speller in school. Thursday after
noon original compositions were read
by Misses Ella and Ada Parker, Mat
tic Bynum, Sallie Standifer and Lula
Drago. Selected speeches were deliv-
cred by Messrs. Crosley, Duncan and
Standifer, and a piece of poetry recited
by Miss Beulah Cans.
The grand affair of the week was the
Fair on Friday night, many play
things, books, eatables, valuable pres
ents, &C., were furnished by the teach
ers, patrons and friends of the school
for the occasion. These were arranged
on tables and sold at reasonable price
to the children for a money resembling
greenbacks which had been given
them by the teachers for perfect les
sons. The scholars, big and little, per-
fectly delighted, went through the
sales room buying the goods from the
clerks or bidding with animation for
the articles offered by the auctioneer.
Prof. Smith has accepted the presl-
dency of Homer College, and intends
moving to Homer soon. The patrons
all express much regret at losing him
from the school, and many friends
ioin in the wish that he should stay
with us longer. We can congratulate
Homer on securing for the college a
president who will be an honor to the
school and a valuable accession to the
community.

Major Green kindly took the trouble
to obtain many of these figures direct
ly from factories. His great experience
in such matters, taken with the fact
that he has made his estimate t::fttU,"
and his well known cautiousness to
avoid misleading, render these figures
perfectly reliable.
We submit to you that the amount
can be raised by private subscriptions.
There is scarcely grown man in both
parishes who cannot afford to subscribe
for one share, $50. But it will not be
necessary to raise the entire amount.
Gentlemen who are best informed on
the subject assure US that if enough
money is subscribed to grade and
bridge the road, that the iron and roll
ing stock will be furnished as stock by
