Memphis, Tenn.—Through the kindness of Judge J. O. Pierce, the cabinet of Le Moyne Normal School has just been increased by the addition of a fine collection of minerals and fossils, numbering some hundreds of unusually fine specimens. A very interesting feature of the institution, added this season, is an experimental kitchen in which practical cookery is taught to the girls of the school. Besides this, classes are trained in needlework, etc., a room having been fitted up for this especial purpose.

REV. ALFRED CONNET, M’LEANSVILLE.
On the 23d of January the church licensed John M. Brooks to preach Gospel, the license to extend till the time of the meeting of the State Conference at this place next May. It is expected that the Conference will be asked to examine him and renew his license. He is industrious, economical, has good talent, is a good student, one of our most advanced pupils, a zealous Christian, a member of this church, and anxious to gain a thorough education, that he may preach Christ to his fellow-men.
