some of our business men. In the course
OF the past season, the owner of the Fer
ry, has purchased a splendid Steam Fer
ry Boat, called the Alexander Nc Gregor.
This Boat will vie in neatness and appear
ance with any Ferry Boat on the river, be-
sides being constructed so as to make her
a pleasant craft to travel on. She arrived
here late in the season, her arrival was
greeted with demonstrations ofjoy BY the

The future Of 4AcGregor is more diff
cult to write. but the attraction it already
has, with the facility which its citi-
sens will shortly possess for communica-
ton with the East by Rail Road, must
cause thousands to visit, and add to its
population. Our Rail Road communica-

Cities, will give the people the command
Of trade East in addition to heavy

The projected road from AcGregor in a
Westerly direction, the construction of
which is almost certain, viii give this
