OTB By reference to our commercial col
umn, it will I've seen that we have effected an
arrangement with one of the fist Provision

SUPERINTENDENT or THE l. & L. RAIL-
RoAD.-The Courier at Lafayette, and the
Journal of this city, sugges, Mr.. NORTH for
Superintendent of the L. & |. Railroad, to
fill the vacancy occasiOned by the resignation
of Mr.. DURBIN. We know of no man whom
we would rather see occupying the position
than Mr.. N; nor do we think the Company
could select man who would be more ac-
ceptable in all respects. Mr.. NORTH was for
long time conductor on one of the trains ON
the Road, in which capacity he was deserved
ly popular. He is practical maxwell ac-
quainted with the duties of Superintendent
CIV, and we feel confident that the Directory
would consult the interests of the road by his
appointment AS the citizens of Boons coun-
ty are much interested in the appointment,
we should like to hear an expression from our
friend of the Pioneer upon this subject.
or The Lafayette Courier says the Madi-
son Banner denies the story that a Mr.. Nc
DONALD, ofthat city, has had three of his ribs
broken by the boa constructor recently exhi-
bited in that city What did occur was that
the serpent, while at one of the principal
hotels, broke out of his cage at late hour of
the night, and betOok himselftO the bar-rOom,
introducing himself to the solitary attendant
by raising his head and darling out his tongue
in a manner so very inquisitive that the bar
keeperleaped the counter, leaving his snake
ship" monarch of all he surveyed" till the
keeper of the monster was found to take in
charge and re-cage his highly valuable pet.
OF By reference to our advertising col
ums, it will be seen that our friend, o. B.
forfeit Esq, is prepared to procure for all
soldiers in any of the Wars of the United
States, land warrants, under the late act of
Congress. We enjoy the pleasure of an init
mate acquaintance with Mr.. T., and can assure
those who may place claims in his hands for
prosecution, that he will act for them with
promptness and fidelity, Mr.. t. enjoys a
high reputation as an attorney. and we take
pleasure in recommending him to those who
may require the services of a legal adviser.
