"A committee representing persons own
ing property in the vicinity Of the public
markets yesterday called upon the Governor
for the purpose of urging on him the neces-
sity Of enforcing the act regulating the pri-

-. Nature seems to have on this season
a "truant disposition" We were shown an

shape Of an ear Of corn fashioned after hu-
man hand, holding base ball, and grown on
GENTLY Ridge. What will she show next?
=. The steamer Thompson Dean, which
arrived this morning from Cincinnati, brought

liberal, wide-awske clerks. While they give

-. a casual visitor to the various billiard
saloons now could not but appreciate the
dullness of the season and the large number
Of idle persons in our city by the crowd of
loungers hanging about. Nodding in chair
sits an old dilapidated Individual, whose in
terest in the several games has gradually
grown DINNER and DINNER, and dreaming of
future wealth, he slides off into nodland,
whilst his elbow companion, dapper young
gent, WHO displays blue bordered silk hand
kerchief, sucks his ivory cane. wishing for the
opening Of faro banks. ALI about the room is
visible the fact that summer is upon us, and,

feed on the Car track on St. Charles street,
Now what puzzles US is not, SO much, the
curious and abnormal appetite Of the cows
which induces them to feed on iron rails, nor
the unconcern of the railroad company, which
calmly witnesses the destruction of the track,
upon the maintenance of which its profits de-

ufacturing milk out of their iron food. We
have often heard that the most productive
animal in the ordinary dairy is the scow
with the iron tall" but this thing of cows

-. The St. Johns Rowing Club, we learn,
contemplates building boat-house at the
Lake Fad of the Bayou ST. John, so soon as
the Orleans Street, City Park and Lake Rail-
road is completed. The idea is a good one,
and will enable the members of the club to
practice out in the open lake every pleasant
day, which will be vast improvement over
the narrow and tortuous bayou.
Our lake shore is not properly appreciated |
by the people, and there is really no reason
why there should not be pleasant residences
erected there where families could spend the
instead of running further away to
places that have not SO many advantages. The
of the railroad referred to, will
greatly tend to develope and improve the
lake Shore and unless we much mistake the
indications will make Spanish Fort the most
delightful spot within easy reach of New Or
leans.
