Rail Road -' doenture.—A short time
since, a young gentleman travelling from
the city of Newi York to Rahway, on the
New Jersey raid road, found himself seat
ed by the side or a young lad y , richly
dressed, and extremely beautiful . She sat
musing in sileece,.evidently a straeger
to all in the call until after they had haft
the Newark Depot, when she suddenly
manifested syniptoms of uneasiness and
alarm; so muchl as to attract the attention
of the gentlemao by her side and prompt
him to inquire into the cause. - She raised
her veil, and in a low tone very modestly
informed him that she had lost her purse
containing the ticket to New Bruswick
end every cent of money she had with her.
The money she remarked, was of little
consequence, heing only eight or nine
dollars, but the loss of the ticket would
expose her to the suspicion and perhaps
inwult of the agent and others of the car.
She had purcha se d the ticket 'before she
left the city, and could not imagine when,
where, or how she had lost her purse con
taining it. 1 •
The gentleman endeavored to soothe
her tipprehensions, by saying that the
price of a ticket to Nt w Brunswick was
but a trifle, and he would most cheerfully
procure one foi her before she left the
I car. She app eared to be very grateful
for has kind interposition to relieve her
from the mortification of being obliged to
expose her aituhtion to inquisitive agents,
and drew from flier finger an elegant dia
mond ring, to 'icompensate him for his
kindness and the cost of.the ticket, which,
of course was declined. At Rahway he
left the car, alter giving the lady his
name and residence, and she went' her
way. A k•ttiaye afterwards he received
a letter from ew Brunswick, signed C.
D., inclining t e identical ring which , had
been offered him, and a five dollar 'bill,
with an assent that at some future pe
,riod he Should made acquainted with
her true namel—Newark Eagle.

Another Boundary *uestitm.—We
learn from the Richmon 0 Enquirer that
another difficulty in relati, n to our Win.

(that paper.says,) has laid claim to Fay-
ette and Miller counties, i Arkansas; and

of the people side with T e xas, have elec
ted representatives to thTexian Con
gress, and bat% oroani - zOd counties, and
elected 'ehertffs, c lerks, II coroners, &c.
They refuse to pay taxes ito or to recog
nise the jurisdiction of Arkansas. The
subject has been referred 'to the Legisla
ture of Arkansas by the Governor, who
recommends that Miller county where the
greatest disaffection exists; and where, he
says, the laws cannot be faithfully execut
ed, be abolished, and her territory attach.
ed to some othei county possessed of mote
patriotism. The Governor states, that he
will immediately communicate / with the
President of the United .States, and pro
cure, if possible, an ear'y. and definitive
adjustment of the boundary qu estion. He
concedes that a portion of Miller county
may, on a settlement, ftill to Texas; but
asserts, that our Govetiment, since the
purchase of Louisiana, h e always claimed
and exercised jurisdictioi over it, and will
not peaceably surrender its claim until a
decision against, it by an huthorised tribu
mil. The Arkansas Legislature has not
