One day last week we were shown by
our townsman Moses Fischer, who is
n of the patentees, a new egg case or
carrier for packing eggs for shipment.
The blk which is about the same size
as the ordinary patent cases, is when
put up, II inches high, "a inches long
and Il inches wide; the ends being of
sheet iron, the top, bottom and sides Of
wo den pieces SO constructed that it
can in an instant be knocked down" to
a package II inches wide, 3 inches
thick and "a inches long. It will be
seen that this gives quite an advantage
to the shipper of the empty case in the
way of eeonomizing space and freight
charges. For solidity and lightness
this patent case certainly is far superior
to any we have seen in this market and
We believe it will come into general use
very rapidly after the merits are known
and appreciated. Mr.. Fischer and his
associate L. Fl. Flory are negotiating
arrangements for the manufacture of
these cases on a large scale and we
hope to soen be able to report their sue
cessful accomplishment.

boiler repairs and was not available for
service on this occasion.
The warehouse contained a considera-

Why can't Abbeville have a college
Dozens of towns nc larger have them
and if some one would only take hold
of the matter and push it We would
have one. The little town of Crowley
has a college since about two years and
they are preparing to secure it perTna-
nently. From the Signal we learn that
the site for the new college building
has been agreed upon, and will be not
far from the courthouse. on the east
side of town. The grounds will embrace
fifteen acres, and will be laid off in a
manner to afford a commodious space
in front and to isolate the college from
the noise and din of town and passers-
by. About $1,000 has been subscribed
to the building fund, but it is desired
to raise $l5, 900 before commencing the
erection of the structure. Every citi-
zen in Acadia parish should contribute
something to this educational enter
prise, because it will materially assist
in building up the entire parish and
promote the higher education of Il
rising generation.
