The cars are now making regular daily
trips from Evansville to Vincennes. They
made their first trip to that place on the l4th

We are now but two or three hours travel

sentiment and of persons. We are told there
are no more sociable people on earth, than in
Vincennes. Their houses are open as their

Although thingshave been quiet lately, SO
far as public talk is concerned, relative to
the Strait Line Railroad, yet the work has
been steadily Progressing-we mean both

Engineer. 1t is about time for this corps to
return, when we shall be able to give par

lost in putting this portion of the line under

forward the interests of the road. BY the
following article from the Washington Sun,
it will be perceived that Mr.. Carpenter is
hard at work in Daviess county, and that re-

THE RAILRoAD.-Mr. Carpenter has been

subject of tie straight-lne railroad. The

Mr.. G.. has visited nearly all parts of the
county. Quite a numerous audience attend

Let it not be forgotten that on tomorrow
evening these fine works Of Art, by George
Winter, will be distributed among the SUBJ
scribers. We have notion of getting one
ourself. There is no diversity of opinion as
to the merits of these paintings-each one
seems to have its particular admirers. We
have our preference-still we would be re.
oonciled in taking the large one" scene on
the Wabash. !" We sincerely trust that the
Artist will be amply rewarded in his visit to
our city. The paintings are all splendidly
framed, but they are subordinate to the ex.

We accepted an invitation from one THE
Trustees of our Public Schools yesterday TO
attend an examination Of the pupils OF AR.
NV. knight, the teacher Of the principal
Male school in the city. There were quite a
number of spectators present, chiefly parents
of the pupils, or officers Of the school depart

in reading, consisting mostly of lads from
seven to ten years of ags, and of q remarka-
bic uniformity in size. This class acquitted
itself with great degree of credit, both in
reading and spelling-and also showed a good
degree of advancement in their knowledge
of the general principles Of the English Ian.
guage. The second and third class were
boys more advanced in years. In these
classes, it was very obvious that Mr.. knight
did not have their first trainng-while there
were many good scholars among them, near
ly all evinced want of the early elementary
drilling now practiced in the school. The
class in Geography was highly interesting
almost every pupil showed more accurate
knowledge of that branch than most adult
scholars possess on the completion of full
college course. In mental and practical
arithmetic, the classes exhibited a more rapid
progress than in any other branch in which
they were examined. The present system oil
teaching mathematics-as adopted by Mr.
knight, cannot fail to make accurate and
ready scholars in the department of figures a,
a very early age.
The examination, on the whole, was one Of
extraordinary interest, proving conclusvely
that the present Public School system in the
hands of such teachers as Mr.. Knight is jus,
what we want, and what all should encour.

THE FRENcHnAx AND TIE YANKEE

THE FRENCHhAN AND The YANKEE.-A
Yankee and Frenehman owned a pig in
copartnersbip. When the killing time came,
they wished to divide the carcase. The Yam
kee was very anxious to divide it so that he
should get both hind quarters, and persuaded
the Frenchman that the proper way to divide
it was to cut it across the back. Tie French
man agreed to it on the condition that the
Yankee would turn his back and take choice
of the piece after it was cut in two. The
Yankee turned his back and the Frenchman
asked; "Vich piece will you have; re piece
wild Re tail on him or re piece vat Amt got no
tail on him!""The piece with the tail" shout
ed the Yankee instantly.-"Den by gar you
take him and | take the ODER" said the
Frenchman. Upon turning round, the YAM
kee found that the Frenchman had cut off the
tail and stuck it in the pigs mouth.

MAN SHOT BY SHEEIFF.-A letter from
a kind friend in West Liberty informs US that
Mr.. Mynhier, the Sheriff Of that (Morgan)
county, shot man named w. r. Lamastees
on the 30th ult. 1t seems that the Sheriff in
attempting TO arrest Lamastees was resisted
by him and his father, aided, perhaps, by 9TH
ers, and in defence of his person, in the exc.
cution of his official duties, shot Lamastees in
the left breast. the ball lodging against the
spine. 1t was thought the wounded man
would recover. The sheriff demanded legal
investigation, which was held by Justices
Prater and Cooper, who discharged him from
custody, finding the act justifiahle. l'

"A gentleman member of wholesale house
down town, recently called at one of our
Banks to pay note of $4,000, as due that

little imperfect, he pushed aside the check
and filled another for The same amount, pre-
sented it., received his note of $4,000, and re-

boy to present it. The paying teller, sus-
picious that all was not right, either from the
fact of having just paid one for that amount,
or the imperfection in the signature which led
the drawer to reject it and write another,
