mark, and must henceforth increase which, from all
accounts Of the growing crops will be higher mark

and we think.the boatmen have good reason to look
forward with bright anticpations to the future.
Daily we have our delightful showers of rain, some
very heavy. They render the weather very pleasant
We have not only the most healthy but by far the
most pleasant city for summer residence in the
whole Union. We have cool bright mornings, de-
ghtful midday showers to wash the streets and cool
the air, rendering charming evenings still more
pleasant while we inhale the healthful sea breeze.
What more could be desired to induce our citizens to
stay at home
Our vocation calls us up and down the levee daily.
We have therefore the very best opportunity of no.
ting the repairs that going on. 1t is with pleas
ure we con inform all interested and especially our
absent boatmen, that the wharves are being put in
complete order At the upper steamboat landing an
extension is being made out into the river OF some
distance, all new and substantial. This will afford
plenty of water for the boats, and give much more
space for their cargoes. At the lower steamboat
landing the Improvements are not quite extensive,
but they are putting on the necessary REPAIRS
