RIVER ITEMS.

- Business at the wharf continues COM
paratively dull. But few large boats have yet
come out of their summer quarters while the
smaller boats are but making expenses, and do
ing we'll if they are accomplishing that much.
The river is falling at all points, but in first
rate stage from Cincinnati down.
THE Cumberland river was reported
rising last Monday evening" with water enough
on the shoals for all boats
- The large stern-wheeier Clifford ar
rived here yesterday morning from Pittsburgh
She put out tremendous lot of dry goods, &c.
here, remaining at the wharf nearly all the
morning to do it. .-,t.
by advertisement it will be seen seer
the little steamer Gazell is offered for sale at
Cincinnati, in the neghborhood of which she
is now lying. An effort will be made to pur-
chase her for the Evansville, Henderson and
Newburg trade, by citizens of this place, at
least there is talk of it---and we hope the thing
will be done.
- The John Tompkins, from the Ten
nesee river, was here yesterday afternoon
Her principal freight consisted ofiron for Lou
isville.
- The Empire State, from st. Louis
passed up yesterday for Cincinnati, with good
many passengers.

THE MISsTRELs To-NIGHT.---The Terre-
Haute press comes to us with highly compli-
mentary notices Of Woods Minstrels, who have
been performing in that city with great success.
Although several of the members had been
shaking, they still shook some of the best mu-
sic out of themselves that Terre- Haute had ever
heard. We presume those who were present
last evening at Crescent Hall, were satisfied
with the entertainment and laughed out the
worth of their money without any trouble
Tonight they will have an entire change of
performance.
