the Sugar Market from the Levee at New
Orleans to the opposite side of the river,
called to meet at the Court House in Thi-

VI SuO SoAAsOs s-s-.t
WHEREAS: The present locality, in the
the city Of New Orleans, at which sugar
is landed to be sold, is too small to suit
the increasing demand Of this agricultural
interest; and whereas, owing to the too
narrow space, sugar has to be sold within
thirty-six hours after landing, or be ware.
housed; and whereas, other great evils
have been imposed upon the sugar interest
and have become so great as to require a
change; therefore 'aaaaH,' .5.' - e-a
Resolved, That in order to relieve the
sugar interest Of this great burden, we
earnestly invite the cooperation of all per.
sons interested in the sugar crop Of Lou
isiana, to unite in devising ways and
means to remedy the evils complained Of.
Resolved, That we invite the different
parishes interested to hold meetings to ex-
press their views on this subject.
Resolrcd, That, in the pinion of this
meeting, the only way to relieve the sugar
interest of the evils complained Of, is that
large and commodiods warehouses should
be erected on the right bank Of the Missis-
sippi river, as convenient to the terminus
of the Railroad as possible. "aa "f
Resolced, That we hear with pleasure
that the N. O., G. w. Il o. R. R. Com

accomplish this desirable result. Ss'9

John Randolph,

Of the many amusing anecdotes of this
eccentric man, we have never before seen
the following: ai'.# IT,, IS .saeet s
He was travelling through a part Of
Virginia in which he was unacquainied;
meantime he stopped during the night at
an inn near the forks of road. The inn
keeper was fine gentleman, and no
doubt one of the first families in the Old
Dominion. Knowing who his distinguish.
ed guest was, he endeavored during tho
evening to draw him into conversation,
but failed in every effort. But in the morn
ing, when Mr.. Randolph was ready to
start, he called for his bill, which on be-
ing presented was paid. The landlord,
still anxious to have some conversation
with him, began as follows:
Switch way are you travelling, MIR.

of displeasure, shave paid my billy

"Well, I'm going just where please
do you understands ~ 1aisi a.
"Yes.' ,'t Hi la!n. r-Hti
The landlord by this time got somewhat
excited, and Mr.. Randolph drove of. But
to the landlords surprise, in a few minutes
the servant came to inquire for his master
which of the forks Of the road to take.
Mr.. Randolph, not being out of hearing
distance, he spoke at the top of his voice:
"Mr Randolph, you don't owe me one cent;
just take which road you id please.
