RE RRY BOAT.

VETHE Subs crber would inform the pub
a lie that he has in successful operation
splendid new Steam Ferry Boat, now
plying constantly between the wharf at
Jefferson City and the opposite shore. He
has procured good and substantial floats,
or landing ooats, and horses, wagons, &c,
may at all times cross the river with ease
and security, and in the short time of two
minutes and half.
The roads leading from Hannibal and
st. Charles, in the direction of Arkansas
and Texas, are. now in excellent condi-
ton, and as The route by Jefferson City is
forty or fifty miles nearer than any other
the facilities of 2 good Steam Ferry Boat
at this point renders it the most desirable
for crossing the Missouri river.
There will be no detentionS, and the ut
most care will be taken to prevent any
accidents.

by the time it had got near the

half mile above Goat Island, it
was directly above the Island.
I here it was turned up the riv-

he standing at the stern with
his car, changing the course of
the boat down the current, and
as it plunged over he sat down.

rise with the mast and sail stan

directing the boat towards the
shore. As he came to the next
and to each succeeding fall, he
sat down, and then would rise
and apply his oar in the inter-
mediate current.
Still there was a hope that he
would come near enough to the
pier to jump, but in a moment
it was gone. Another, that he
might jump upon the rock near

terribly appalling, almost sub

At about sun-down last eve

the Falls. Who he was is not
known. From his management
of the sail boat in which he came
down the river, | think he was
not well acquainted with the
current Of the rapids. His dress
and appearance indicated re-
spectability, and after he got in
to the rapids his self-posSession
was most extraordinary. His
boat was "a very good one
decked over on the bow, and
should think would carry three
or four tons. From what ]
learn of a sail boat having been
seen below Black Rock, coming
down, Think it is from there OF
Buffalo. No other than a per-
son unacquaihted with the cur,
rent above the rapids, would
venture so near them.
