The Kins ton Collegiate Institdtb,
This institution under the direction of
Dr. Richard H. Lewis is a credit to a
place of far more city like pretensions
than Kineton. There are iu attendance
during, the present session, between one
hundred and forty and one hundred and
vfifty pupils of both sexes. Nearly
very county in the State east of the
W. & W. Railroad is represented, and
all branches from the. primary to the
highest collegiate course are taught
The strictest discipline is observed, and
to Dr. Lewis and his efficient corps Of
assistants, great credit is due for ! the
high standard which the institute' has
attained to since its establishment. Tne
musira! department is one of the best in
the State, being ably presided over in
the person of Mrs- Dr. Davis, whose
annual concerts during Commencement
week thoroughly attest her proficiency
in musical culture. We would like to
ppeak further in re?Hrd to th
school, but for the lack of space we are
pronioueti troni doing so.
Resumption Alter a silence of three

about a week in the receipt ol Balti
more freight, the Commercial News
resumes with a supply of wlite paper

prospective enlargement and other
important changes in the paper.
Heretofore conducted by single indi
vidual effort, the paper is about to pass
into the hands and under the cc ntrol
of a joint stock company of commer
cial men, who, by co-operative effort
a"d capital, will be able to make it
wlftt the business of the place and the
wants of the popiilatiou, town and
county demand it should be.
The scheme has sufficiently matured
to be spoken of in' this public manner
and only a few shares of the neeessarv
stock remain to btf taker. In this con
nection it is not improper to represent to
al! the bufciuess men of New Bertie that
they are equally inteieted in the estaW
lishment and suppcrt of a live daily
paper in their midst.
