President OF the - Dnyillc Fra iIrOad.

Lewis F. Iarvie. Esq. OF Amelia was last night
unanimously elected President of the Richmond
and Danville Railroad Company. We doubt
whether the Stockholders of the Company could
have made u more judcious selection than this.
Mr.. Haryie was one of the earliest aud most in
doniiable friends of the Rond, and wthal gen
tleman of experience intelligence and capacity,
ami will make most faithful, efficient, and popu-
lar officer.
We may say in conclusion that Vincent With.
or, Esq who has go ably and faithfully presided
over the affairs of the Company, for the last two
or three years, carries with him into his retro
ment the gratitude, respect and good wishes of
each and every Stakeholder of the Company. He
has discharged all his duties well and aoceptably
and for one trus. that the evening of his life
may be happy and serene as its morning and mid
dny have been useful and glorious.-R Wing Of

What led thee hither 'mong types and cases
Dost thou not know that running midnight races
Ger standing types is frnught with imminent danger?
Did hunger lead thee ?-Didst thou t ink TO find
Some cheese Parmcsan to delight thy mawY

A love for letters, and that sort OF thing;
But why, thou wire tailed imp-thou yermin king
Didst tnou, but yes'ernigh devonr our paste,
And throw our types in pyramids of p'F
Thy doom's dccreed Come Towser at him ny !
