THE COMMITTEE
FOR the Examination of the Pupils of the Little Rock Academy, attended
at the institution on Friday last. In consequence of the examination
being limited to a single day, and the classes being numerous, an
estimate of the respective merits of the individuals could not be made.
The Committee, however, state, with pleasure, that the subordination and
a good order which was manifested through the proceedings of the day,
the promptness and accuracy with which the members of the several
classes answered the numerous and varied questions propounded, and the
emulous spirit that seemed to excite the pupils, with the correctness of
the mode of the instruction adopted by the tutors, met their unqualified
approbation. The institution is certainly conducted with much skill,
zeal, and industry, and deserves the notice and patronage of the public.

OBITUARY
DIED at Washington, Hempstead County, A.T. on Saturday, the 10th inst.
Maj. Jeremiah D. Hayden, a Paymaster of the U.S. Army for the posts on
Red and Mississippi rivers, in this Territory and Louisiana.
His attack was a high grade of bilious fever, which terminated his
existence in three days from its commencement.
The deceased was a stranger in the land but his last moments were
soothed by the kind and hospitable attentions of all around him. All
that the physician, or the kindness of the citizens, could do, was
speedily and cheerfully administered. But the mandate had issued for his
removal to another and better world, and human means were abortive.
He was buried with Christian and military honors. The Rev. Messrs. Henry
and Tennant performed divine service, in an impressive and feeling
manner; and Capt. Oakley's company attended the body to its last abode,
and fired three salutes to his departed spirit.
In the short period he was with us, he made a friend of every one that
approached him and never stranger was more respected, or died more
regretted. He bore his afflictions, and hailed his approaching exit,
with the firmness and resignation of a Christian and a soldier. -
Communicated.
