...-. Yesterday was a bright, beautiful
day, and g good deal of business was trans
acted on the landing. The river is still rising
slowly, but we may look for it to be on
stand to-day, as it is falling at all points
above. The Wabash is falling at Vincennes
There has great deal of freight accumulated
during the past week. We have no mate
rial change to make in the rates of freight,
which we quote as follows

...A young couple who had escaped
from Owensboro, KY, were married on the
Charley Boiee,i, last Saturday. The couple
had gone down on the boat, expecting to
cross the river and go into Missouri, where
they could obtain license, but the ice was
running so heavy at Cairo the ferryboat re-
fused to go, and Capt. Dexter kindly volun-
teered the services of his boat took the
happy pair to the opposite side of the river,
obtained the services of a Squire, and they
were made one, aud returned on the Bo,cen.
..-..The Inspectors Court was in session
yesterday, taking evidence in the collision

--..-Capt Dexters Charley Bocen goes
to Cairo at IL o'clock to-day without fail.
The Ro1ce1 is one of the best boats on the
river, and Differed by experienced and ac-
commodating men, which makes trip on

boat on the Lower Ohio, and we advise all
those who want pleasant and quick trip
TO try her.

has been attached to the ferry boat Empire,
came in to port on Sunday. 1t is an inge-

Mississippi to cut out the channel.

for Louisville to-day, and passengers can
find no more gentlemenly men to travel with

again. Mr.. Moore, her pilot, went to Cairo
yesterday, to take her into that stream. We
