A SHREwD BoY.-Judge T. travelling in
one of the Northern counties, met boy,
with whom he entered into conversation,
and was much amused with the shrewdness
of,he boys remarks. On being asked what
trade he intended 10 learn, the boy hesita-
ted little, and then answered that of all
trades, he should like to be an executor.
= An executor said the Judge, why an
executor z Because, replied the hoy,
formerly our family were badly of, but ev-
er since father was made an executor we
have wanted for nothing

tbs ARKANSAS INDIANs-MoRE TRouB-
LE.-The Arkansas Gazette Of the 3Oth Of
last month furnishes the following informa-
ton concerning the Indians in the western
part Of that Territory:
"We regret to learn that considerable
dissatisfaction is daily manifesting itself
among some of the Creek emigrants, who
have been removed to our western frontier
within the last year or two. Our informant
says they show but little disposition. to
plant corn, or to do any thing for their fu-
lure support. in several instances they
have destroyed their own fences and other
properly, and given other evidences Of a
turbulent spirit aud the old woman among
them have been heard to declare, as soon
rs the green corn is ct to pull, the white
people must look out
ave are not disposed to excite alarm
among our citizens, by every idle report
that is put in circulation but this comes
from such source as In leave US no doubt
Ct the hostile intention Of many OF the new
cmigrants. Our informant is a gentleman
of undispufcd veracity, who has been en-
gagged Tor several years in removing the
Isdisns to the West, and has Just returned
from That country. lie does not tLink

From the n. Y. Evg. Post.

The Independent Treasury bill is shortly to
be called up in the House of Representatives
and every body is specializing on its probable
fate. The Journalists and their Washington
correspondents are painfully employed in Ella
borate calculations of the respective numbers of
the friends and enemies of the bill, and are pub
fishing lists and calculations with as much
Parade Of exactness as if they were giving an
army roll.
We have no desire to make figure along
with those who take so much pains to display
their poverty Of knowledge on subject which
will soon be as clear as the test of public vote
can make il; but we will assure our readers
that our friends at Washington have strong
hopes of passing the bill. There are several
members whose opinions are undecided, and
whose votes are doubtful; but if these are e.
qually divided between the friends and the op-
ponents Of the measure, the result will DC that
the bill will pass the House. The uncertainty
that still surrounds the question arises from the
doubt in regard to the vote of these members,
and whatever the journalists or their correspon-
dents may pretend, the same uncertainty is
likely to exist until the vote is taken.
