RIVER FAvoRs,-In behalf OF our readers
we return sincere thanks TO The clerks of the
Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Keystone
Stale, for their kindness in furnishing US
with late Pittsburgh and Cincinnati papers,
Most of the o.her packets leave us papers
occasionally, but these boats we can always
depend upon. While on this subject we will
take occasion to say that If you wish 10 be
treated, kindly and dhove 7leasan,trip either
up or down the river, always travel with clerks
who remember the river press. Those who
neglect these matters are generally selfish,
iIl.nalured and impudenI. AT least we have
always found them SO. While WEAVER
was on the Buckeye Stale we never heard
any complaints from passengers. Now. we
wonder that any one makes second "trip on
her. Ii was our misfortune 10 return from
Cincinnati on the Buckeye last week, ana
we can safely say that more surly dog than
the frs, clerk, cannot be found on the river.
When we select lha, boat again, another
clerk will be al The desk.

A TEMPERANCE STEAMBoAT-On our re-

Der, quiet, and orderly. On further exami-
nation, we asceriained that there was no Bar
on the boat, aud in conversation with the
Captain, he informed us lha, no, drop ol
liquor was ever allowed TO be drank, or kept
on board by any Of the officers or crew
Furthermore, no card-playing, either foi
amusement or gain, was permiued or sane
lioned. The Captain further informed us
that for twelve years he had commanded Q

consequence is. he has no difficulty in con-
trolling his men, or in preserving The Strict.

little Maine-Law craft is the "Financier.'
The Captain is worthy Of far better boat
and if his example was followed by rivel
men generally, there would be much more
pleasure and safety in travelling upon The
river. Success attend The "Financier."

are no, annoyed by ii. Wine is also used
at dinner, but only by those who order it,

Having "imbibed" pretty freely along the
way, he soon became rather oblivious, his

Jack was seen crawling out Of a sand-heap
by the roadside. After brushing the dir
from his eyes and mouth a moment, he ac'
cosled the driver, who had checked up:

The WEATHER. rarely mention this
subjectin our columns; but the extraordi-
nary change within the past week seems to
deserve passing notice. AS a matter for
future reference, therefore we mention the
fact that at the present writing, April 18th,
1854, the ground is covered with snow, and
we are seated by warm stove, with all our
regular winter clothing on. Yesterday,
Easter Sunday we experienced a violent
snow storm-one which would have done
credit to the middle Of February. The riv-
er is in excellent stage for the largest boats,
and rising rapidly. The snow continues to
fall, and every thing without resembles the
depth Of winter. A few days ago it seemed
like midsummer. Trees and fields were
green, or white with blossoms. We fear
our fruit will be entirely killed, and the
grain will suffer severely.
