The Montgomery (Ky.y Republican
thus discourses Of thephysical charms
of the ladies of that commonwealth
"While it has always been acknowl-
edged that the Kentucky women are
the fairest in the Union, yet the half
has not been told Of them, Their
forms are perfect models of ease and
grace, and there is q certain style and
gesture in their walk which is not
possessed by one out of a thousand
in the North, Their features are
regular and handsome; their skin
fair; light, heavy, waving hair; dark
blue eyes, and peaehy bloom on
their cheeks which makes them al
most irresistable-to a married man.
Their forms are much better develop
ed than are Northern women, and
though slender enough around the
waist, their muscle is sufficient to
curb the fiery steed upon whose back
they take their monthly exercises. "
That is editor Of theright grit, even if
the women of his neighborhood are
as ugly as an African gorilla and as
ungainly as n kangaroo, We like to
see q man stand up for. his own local
institutions.

A NoRTH CAROLINA belle, according
to local journal, recently started
for horseback ride near Morgan,
town, in that State. She was riding
rapidly with a gentleman down o
long slope, when the gentleman.
horse stumbled and fell. The lady's
horse cleared both him and the rider
at one leap, and then became quite
unmanageable. Two hundred yards
further on narrow lane was block
AIDED by a negro, mule, and cart
square across it. Her horse was ca
reering at full speed. To pass round
was impossible, to stop, equally so;
but the agile animal at one fearful
bound cleared negro, mule and cart.
The charming equestrienne never lost
her balance, and was laughing gaily
when her horse was checked two
miles further on.

in 1S49. From that time to the

Santiam Canal, from Lebanon to
Albany, is miles, affords unlimited
water-power and is now being used
as ameans of transportation on small
canal-boats. Capt. Wheeler has just
commenced operations with his little
canal.boat"Red Jacket" which carries
300 bushels Of wheat at load, with
only one forse and two feet Of water;
but the intention is TO deepen the
canal and then much bigger cargo
can be transported The farmers al
along the canal intend to ship their
grain by that cheap transport, which
is probably only the beginning OF q
great system of canals in this Valley.
