Bailay,of Louisiana, who is now soioafnins with
his wife at the Virginia Hotel, il this city, for
5iJ.Ie272, caused considerable discussion IN
the IIo1se of Representatives Oh Friday last, on
motion OF Mr. Lawrence, Of Ohio: to strike. it
oft from the award OF the commissioner OF
claims. The bill, however, was finally passed.
as it came from the committee, and we presume
there will be no objection to it in the Senate.

rain storm was sweeping along the railroad
near the depot. at this place. Monday last, an
old man walking along the track, was struck ana
,,ocke over by one Of the shifting cars. lie was
considerably bruised and cut, bNt we understand
was not dangerously injured. We did not learn
his name. It was supposed that the wind pre-
vented him from hearing the warning whistle,
or that he was deaf.

Springs, and viii open them on the lst OF June,

advantages, having Sulphur, CIaiybeate, Alum

The facilities for reaching the Springs are first
