We note to-day, as a rsther singular
/ fact. the arrival Of i've Kansas farmers,
with their families, who propose settle

gusted with the fierce winds which de-

The excursion to Little Rock on the
4th Of July bids fair to rival all previous
gatherings of the kind, and We feel war
rsnted in the guarantee that all who avail
themselves of the opportunity thus af-
forded Of visiting the capital city Of Ar
kansas, wiz meet with q hearty reception
at the hands OF q Pu~bhc-spirited people.
How beautifully the whole phIloso-
ply OF life is depicted here In these lines
on the habits Of the flea OeBass.

An exciting chicken tight took place
I In s alisyWay back Of Union street ysster-
day afternoon. Both birds were let out Of
coOps by mistake, and went At it immedi-
ately they found themselves free. Singu-
Ter as il may appear, the cOloreds who
were looking on o opposite sides at
once, and when the chicken fight was
over they adjourned TO q barber-shOp on
Main street and lad a lively time at hsti-
cutting.
William Scutcheson, a cook on one Of
the boats, was brought to the station
house last night, and charged with cutting
q dgrky with q knife. It appears he was
serving out grub to the hands- when a
row took place about the v~ictuals, in
the course Of which the sbove-named
gentleman swung round his knife rather
incsutiously, and u g cOlOred man in the

The Memphis and Charleston railroad,

improve every scheme designed to please
or delight the multitude. Therefore they
have postponed their day Of rustic en-
lOyment, and designate the 18th Of July,
when art, taste and all the appliances for

General P-lesssnton, Of the Internal
Revenue Department, has decided against
the use Of standing casks by liquor deal
ers, The decision says, in explanation:
Every cssk on being filed must be
gauged, marked and stamped at each I'LL
ing, and the stamps and marks must be
Obibsrated whenever the cask is empti6d.
This alone must render it impracticable TO
use the expensive and highly ornamental
casks now as stand casks" and the
repeated gsuging that must follow their
use muE also tend t. render it impracti-
cable 20 use them.
"A saddle horse was unwisely left
standing in the glare and heat Of b sun
yesterday; the consequence Of which was
that be concluded TO seek the shades Of
friendly woods. With this idea strong in
in his mind, he backed violently out from
the post to which he was hitched, and
thereby pulled it up. He then turned his
head determindly down Main street, and
swept along the sidewalk IN the west
side Of b street, from Union to Beale.
The right Of way was allowed him at
every point on the route u~udisputed. He
cut across Beals and tore down q section OF |
fence in front Of the little house &c the
southeast r of Bsale and Union. |
That was The first point he reached where
the desired WOO we're found, and he
made Tor them. The fence proved no bar
rier TO his progress, but, having reached
the inside, he concluded to resi- content
with the scant shade the shrubbery
afforded. The owner captured him there.
we call the attention Of our readers to
the notice Of the Selma, Marion and Mem /

The custom heretofore has been, to carry

York, and our own people, who wish 20
purchase them, have had TO send their
orders there to procure them. We there

market. II certainly is not necessary to
have New York stock jobbers to pass on
our securities before we can have conf
dsncs In them. The bonds here offered,
yield a good return, and there can be nc
doubt Of either the sOlvsncy of the
ties that issue them, OF their obligation
or willingness to pay. Moreover, IL has
