The steamer kentucky.

Our notice of this boat and its officers was
neglected yesterday. in the hustle of Railroad
and other matters that crowded our cOmpos-
itors as we'll as our columns. The boat, we
are happy to say, has now fallen into ener-
ge,ic and experienced hands. Her owners,
Messrs. Hill g. Birkischt, and the gallant
Capt. Brooks, have thoroughly renovated her
from stem to stern. making all the necessary
rep hrs to put her in safe and staunch condi-
ton for business. She has been scraped and
painted till she looks as neat and clean as the
packets on the river. On Monday,
the officers proposed to give an entertaindien
in the evening TO the "ugliest men in toscn''
and in pursuance Of their kindly preferences
the wharf rats" and members of the Press,
were all invited. The Kentucky's cabin
about O'Clock in the evening presented a
scene of feastihg and conviviality rarely ex-
celled. The luxuries Of Evansville were
served up in great pro'usion and in the most
delicious style, by Mr. Hitler OF Killers Hotel.
Old Bourbon, Port and Claret occupied their
place on the table and were used with moder.
alton. Everything went of in the most pleas
ant manner. Toasts were drank and re-
sponded to most heartily, and the good wishes
of the guests will follow the Kentucky and
her gallant officers wherever they may go.

Railroads rs Canals.

The annual report Of the Auditor ofthe
State Of New York, shows that the railroads
in that State are fast rivallng the canals in
the transportation of freight. Every descrip-
ton of freight is now carried over the East
ern railroads, and at rates that will justify
shippers in most cases to give preference to
railroad over canal transportation. In many
instances it is equally as desirable for the mer-
chant TO save time in the transportation of
his goods, as it is TO save time in travelling
himself. The natural increase Of commerce
in the future, will doubtless sustain the BUSH
ness Of the principal! canals in the country
but it is very obvions, as the New York rail-
roads Rave illustrated during the last year,
that transportation on railroads is to be vastly

One OF our youngsters has received letter
from juvenile now in Otegon, who former
~ lived in Evansville. But we might just
as well tell the name of the Oregon chap, as
his letter shows he takes a more common
sense view of things than his seniors gener-
ally do, and besides he has keen perception
OF the ludcrous. Well, Bill. Dunbar q good
boy is Bill, and go-ahead fellow in every
respecO taking a sensible view oil tmngs'
thinks he will be back in Evansville by next
November. He very wisely concludes ne can
learn trade much better in Evansville :han
he can in Oregon, especially as it will cost
him much less. As Bill is at the printing
business, we can promise him if he will re-
turn. not only to learn him the business on
the most scientific principles. but TO allow
him something as recompense. But Blu
must excuse US for taking further Liberties
with his letter, which by the p.ovidential in
terposition Of an accident fell into oul
han Is.
For the information Of boys, we give the
following item about skating in Oregon. Ht
says-"We have had one days skating here
the first in three years. There are no skate
for sale in town, and what do you suppose
mad to pay 10 get pair made! Why. IS 90
so SO for runners, So 25 for woods. 81 q
for straps-and had about two hours t
! pay for this! Eight dollars for two hours
: when you can get better pair Of skates tina
D mine in Evansville or twenty cents."
Bill gives some very interesting India
talk, which we omit from not having the ne
cessary types. But he follows 1t with tn
following Prices Current for Portland, Ore
