A SIAMEsIAN lNvEsTAET. - About three
months ugo a gentleman Of Caddo Parish, La,
left, among ether personal property, to his two
sons valuable slave named Jim. Jim was
favorite Of both his masters, and neither would
sell his half Of Jim to the other but about the
first Of this month gentleman Of this city who
has plantation in Louisiana, and in whose ser.
vice Jim was hired, informs us that one Of his
owners, finding himself insOlvent, resolved TO
sell his half Of the slave at auction for cash, and
did net wish his brother 10 get him.
Tho boy jim had accumulated, by one way
and another, small pile of money, and when
he was put up at auction in the slave market at
New Orleans, jim bought one half Of himself |!
Well, time were on, Jim working faithfully for
the man 10 whom he was hired, receiving one
half his earnings himself, until about the first Of
this month, when, in swimming bayou, he
became weak, and fearing that he should drown,
cried Justify for help, and offered his half Of
himself to any ono who would save him. A
man standing ON the shore showed Of in skifT
and got to jim Just Us he was about to 90 under
and pulled him in, Jim now, like an honest
fellow, offered 10 give his own half Of himself
which his mOgnanimous preserver declined
taking, when Jim imploringly held up his hand.
and exclaimed: elf ebber Jim gifts any more
money, massa, 70 God, he'll ncbbSr invest it il
lint nigga stock widout he insured. Dis sort o
stock is berry unsartain, sure"

CONTEMPLATED STAGE LINE.

by an article in the Hannibal (Mo.) Journal
we observe that our Pike county Friends arc
determined, notwithstanding the drawback and
disappointment which has attended their efforts
in ths construction Of railroads, that they at
least are determined that should they fail in one
they will have the other 10 fall buck upon.
This is commcndable, and Mcssrs. Donaldson,
Brown, Klein, ind other citizens Of Barry and
Kindorhook have boon deputed 10 the above
place, TO ascertain tho feeling and sentiment in
reference to the project Of establishing u daily
limo oil coaches from Naples, on the Illinois
river, to Hannibal, on the Mississippi, running
through Florence, Pittsfeld, Barry and Kinder
hook. We ore Familiarity acquainted with the
people and business transactions in those Sec
tons, and are satisfied that similar enterprise
has been called fer years ago, and the rapid
growth and wants Of the community loudly de-
nAnds such u step, passing, as this road will,
through densely populated and wealthy coun.
try, which for enterprise and energy cannot be
surpassed.
The cost and outfit Of this road would com.
paratively be nothing, when compared 10 the
increase Of travel which would find an outlet on
either point, and from thence up the rivers "a
Chicago aud eastward. AZ the subject at the
proper time will GENE before Congress, we have
no hesitation in believing that, with the aid Of
the efficient services Of Col. w. A. Richardson,
Senator Of this district, that the measure will
receive favorable attention and due consideration
at the hands Of Congress.
Whilst upon the subject Of Stage Lines, VIZ
would state that q similar effort 10 being made
BY our CantOn friends for the establishment Of
tri.weskly line Of coaches irSm Pokin to War
saw, passing through Canton and MacSmb; il
which enterprise we assure the company theJ
have the hearty cooperation Of the enti=e people
of this section.
