! The woods along the river which
are Just beginning TO don their emer
ald haollments OF spring, gave back
IN joyous echo, the strains from the
Caseyville Brass Band, who accom-
panied the boat On trip of pleasure
and recreation.
Everywhere we landed, hands we're
extended tie Captain Duncan, and the
eager grasp and sincerely welcome
smile testified the general joy Mt his
return.
Captain Duncan IS endowed with
peculiarly winning and happy gifts of
address; a genial, handsome face, q
genuine heartiness and cOrdiality of
manner, and a make yourself-at-ease
style, renders his presence suushiny,
breezy, and agreeable In the extreme.
His courtesy, too, rs universal and
not exceptional or select. The writer
has often observed him in his inter
course with persons; and the poor
humble deck passenger claimed as
much of his attention and politeness
as the well dressed nabob who stalked
IN regal style In the cabin above.
This bespeaks kindness of hcartand
gracefulness of character Whiah are
as commendable as they are rare.
Guy Ninyard is known and appre
clated for his good humored and
pleasing attention to the wants Of all,
and is blest In being composed of ma
terial that will wear long and grew
brighter by the friction of social in
tercourse and business relations. We
hope that the old pioneer craft, that
gave to Evansville the very large and
profitable trade she now enjoys from
this section of the country, may have
a prosperous season before her.
She as IN the JtsL1 Nth her bonner
her coL0rs nailed to tie standard. May
their folds ripple and float only to tho
breezcs of prosperity, is the wish of
many, and the ardent and sincere hope
of ID.
