i TRE LAKE HousE.--It was our good fortune
| the other venning to be taken over the Shell
Road BY gentleman of this city mot more widely
known for his fine horses than his excellent
financial abilities. AT the close of an exceed
/ ingly pleasant drive we drew rein in front of
i ,Cullum's Lake House--a place of resort more
1 largely patronized and better deserving of pa
1 tronage than any other near New Orleans We
consider. ourselves as public benefactors in in
forming the community that Mr.. Cullum is now
in the full tide Of successful experiment, and
has every luxury Of the season and climate.
He has all the wines that can be obtained any
where, and we had clear demonstration of soft
1 shell turtles eroakers, sheep head, duck, green
| peas, and other delicious edibles. George has
a great many friends. A few of them haven't
been down yet.
1 FINE HoRsEs.--We spoke recently Of seeing
some fine horses. We have since set eyes on
a few spans belonging to Gen. Smith, Of Cinein-
natl, which are superbly s constructed and got
| up to order. He has a span of bays that would
do credit to any gentleman's carriage, and 9
! few fancy animals Of the real Kentucky stripe.
4 Those who have ever been at Hiram Kings
stables know the sort Of beasts likely to be
found there BY the side of Sheco and Sheriff,
and will only need an intimation to look up Mr..
| Smiths stock.
| SHELBY CoLLEGE, SHELBYyILLE. KY.--We
are requested to state that DR.. Guentz, the
| President Of this fiourishing institution, is now
A at the St. Charles Hotel, where he may be seen
daily, from 10 to u, A NJ, and from 5 to 8
o'clock. Il NJ. All young gentlemen who wish
to enter the new course, either in the Prepara-
tory or in the Collegiate Department, or in
| the Scientific School, will dowell to inform DR..
Guentz Of their intention, and to prepare for
departure without delay, as he will return to
Kentucky within few days, and will person
ally accompany ill such as are ready to start
with him
| MADAME ADoLPHE. This renowned sympa-
\ thist and most marvellous fore-teller Of coming
events. still remains in the city, and continues
to be consulted by great numbers Of people
concerning affairs ofloye and business. Madame
Adolphe is stopping at the Magnolia House, on
Poydras street, and will astonish all those who
call on her, by the exactness of her knowledge
and the directness Of her prophecies.
The testimony Of Col. Young, of Columbus,
Miss, is the most fattering of any thing we
have seen commendatory of DIR. Sherman's
Patent Truss and Linament in the relief of rup-
lures. 1t is highly calculated to raise the an
ticipations Of those who are testing the same
means as well as Of those who are determined to
lei the hour Of danger no longer torment them.
Strangulation may at any time overtake the
unfortunate victim to hernia, unless provided
with the above named popular instrument.
The facts set forth in Col. Young's statement
are worthy of consideration, and we cheerfully
call the attention of our readers to them.
4 We learn from the Memphis Wing that an
effort is being made in that city to raise money
sufficient to build suitable monument to the
memory of John r. Trioe, the brave pilot Of the
steamboat Caroline, recently burned on White
River, who persisted in the attempt to guide the
boat to the shore and save the lives of those on
board. Capt. Morgan Bateman, of the steamer
Julia Dean, offers to give for this purpose $25
| more than any other person. Let monu-
ment be erected for it will not only be a just
memorial of this gallant man, but will nerve
others to perform like noble deeds.
| PosTAGE TO HAyASA.--A house at Havana
recently paid on eleven newspapers from the
| United States, four dollars and twelve cents, or
/ III cents per ounce This is the regular rate
ut present. OF course it is designed to be pro
hibitory, and such is its effect in most cases.
