M ary's academr.— We recently had occasion to speak in favorable terms of this nourishing institution conducted by the Society of Christian Brothers in New Or leans. We have to-day to call attention to a card in our advertising columns which «peaks for itself, giving in a succinct form a few of the most important advantages possessed by that popular institution for the intellectual development of its stu dents; also, its terms for tuition, «fee. We were favored on Tuesday with a call from "Brother I saiah ," the President of the College and "Brother J ovian ," one of the Professors, who are on a visit to our city. They are gentlemen of intelligence and agreeable manners, and we were highly pleased at making their acquaint ance. We commend them to tho good graces of our citizens, and trust they may find their sojourn amonjf us both profitable and pleasing. Ktw F ikm .—Wc inaert to-day in onr ad vertising department, the card of Messrs A echek H kndekson . Those gentlemen, it will be seen, have become associated in the Forwarding and Commission and Gen eral Agency business in our city. Thoy are well known to be eminently qualified and reliable as business men, and aro among our most worthy citizens.

Boat and cargo a total loss. No lives Jost. The cot ton belonged to parties in this city, and we are afraid there was no insu rance on it. The loss of the boat is a calamity to the whole community, as she whb a light-draught, and well a dapted to the trade above this point. Shreveporl Southwestern, 26 th. Keif General Pillow made a public speech at Columbia, Tenu., on the 31st ult ., in which he said the South had fought gallantly, and had been gallantly whipped. He thought all ought to submit to the State Govern ment, which is legitimate and ought to be obeyed. The franchise law is just and called for. He was properly disfranchised and would stay away from the polls. He advised all in like condition to do the same. jRjKThackeray says that ''when a man is in love with one woman in a family, it is astonishing how fond he becomes of every one connected with it. He beats time when the darling little Fanny performs her piece on the piano, and smiles when wicked little Bobby upsets the coffee on his shirt." T fie S nake- B itten M an .—-We met yesterday Mr. Sheuster, tho man who was bitten by a rattlesnake in Concord township a short time ago, an account of which our readers will remember was published at that time. Mr. Sheustor is looking fine, and able to get about apparently as well as ever. It is true his hands and arms are still swollen much, but will soon heal without the loss of his thumb, the part bitten. Tho most remarkable portion of this enake story, in our opinion, is that, incredible as it may appear, it was a decapitated head that did the deed. Mr- S, says the head and the portion of the vertebra attach ed, which he cut ofif, was not much more than one inch and a half in length. This wag lying with the head 1 pointing from him, when he picked up a short stick abo*t eighteen inches j in length, to gratify his curiosity in examining it, when, just as he touched it the head sprung at him and fasten ed on his thumb with its fangs. Was it not this fact is well authenticated we should be a doubting Thomas and tempted to discredit the whole yarn. Dubuque Times, Jnly 25th.
