$500 The spry, staunch and feet Grey
Eagle came down yesterday afternoon from
Louisville with fair trip of freight and
passengers, returning last evening at her

manly and efficient corps of officers that
have her in charge is the principal one.
Messrs Lusk and Vooris he thinks, from the
way they treat passengers, must have spent

mated - Principles of Poli:eness."

The damage to that portion of the newly
