An Incident beon AJa triage.

Walker's celebrated Exchange, in'Louis-
ville. is the farorito tsorv o f tha citizens
of that burgh; and its gentlemanly proprie
tor enjoys a popularity there which would
almost elect him Governor of U a Stale, if
he would but consent lo run for the office.
Strangers of course,, go to Walker s and
ha takes them in, out sometimes he puts
tbem out. A ense of the latter knd was
related to ns the other day, which deserves
to be chronicled, ,
A young p-entleman anived in Louis-
vile about two week since, on a matrimo
nial visit, and. of coarse, lie donned his
best suit to visit his intenilexl. He made
his call, f arranged all the preliminaries,
passed a delightful afternoon "and evening,
sipped a honey kiss from the lips of his
fair inamornia at parting, and atar ted down
to bis lodgings at the Gall House. The
wedding was set Tor the next cay, anq tne
hap.iv young dog tripped along, so bony-
ednphjr anticipation that you would have
guessed, 10 hae seen him, that, he had
Mtrcury-like, wings to his heels. Un bis
ijfay down, he, observed that the light was
burning in "Walker s, - and the Urge pla
card at the door of "fresh oysters in the
shell." wss too tempting an invimion, at
tl.et interesting period, to be stoically pas
sed by so he thought lie would just step
in and taste a auzen oy way oi invigora
ting his dreams. . lie entered and regaled
himself until his general good feeling was
measurably heightened. He turned to
lesve, and, as he wns the l ist customer, the
bar-keeper followed him to the door, o
lock it after him. . ,At that moment, a jolly
crowd came around the comer singing-
The banging of tlie door behind them, and' to the amount of 3 or 9409, belong:ng
The bar-keeper kno winglHe crow tl'vat'

midnight, desiied to shut them out so
he! politely hurried the young stranger
through the door, slsmmed it to, locked it,
put the bar across, and retreated with his
amD un stairs. Presently there was
tremendous rapping st the front door, but
the bar-keeper, salisfiod that it was the
noisy company he had barred out, rolled
himself up in the quilts, and turned over to
bis "wmlcs.".. . : - .. . ,,.
"Jim will you open this door, you
d n fool!" shouted one of the crowd,
wi:h stentorian lungs,,
"I ain't no such fool," grumbled Jim,

him. . . . , . ' ,

new coat, and the bsr-keeper, in shutting
one-half the door, securely fasten d the

course, that he would observe, and instant

I would like to do so gentlemen," wss

The bar-keeper, on learning the trooble,
had quietly descended, opened tn aoor,

We regret to be compelled to stste, that
the steamboat Wayne, owned by our enter
prising townsmen, the Messra. Dibble, as
she wss. nearing ihe wharf on jjb.i Trsnl
nearly opposite the Devereaux buildings,
about half paat 7- oVlock on Thuisdav

before the flames could bo arreated, trss

bad jnst .returned Irons a trip toJSmuh
field, and had en board among ether freight
a number of casks of turpintine. In pas
sing between a vessel and uneoi the wharves,
one of the cask s'ruck against tha vessel
and was stove. . Ihe. spirits: rtn upon
the deck of the steamboat and over her side,
at the moment when th cask was stove
and on of the hands was in the act of
throwing overboard the fire, . which caught
the , spirits floating on the surface of the
water, and in an Instant communicated
to Ibe boat.' The? name spread with
great rapid ity and - ss tho Surest means
of securing the safety of the pasengerson
board the boat wss run along aide the
wharf; Ths. alarm was instantly given
and every exertion mad to extinguish the
fire, but all to little purpose, until the, boat
and ; most of her contents were consum

The Wsyne had been insured for tiOOO.
But the policy we learn expired some time
