though somewhat chilly. Business was
rather dull. We observed very little doing.
The river continues to reeede, but the change
is very slight. -

8 .-----The Charley Bo,oen with Captain
Dexter in command, leaves for Cairo to-day
at noon. The Boscen is supplied with all
the neeessaries and Injuries of life,5 has very
pleasant state rooms, accommodating en-
ployees, in consequence, rendering pass
age on her exceedingly agreeable Passen-
gers will find it to their interest to secure
berths on the Boi0eB. 4i y L,.a.ii q. al-.I
The splendid Diana will leave for
New Orleans this afternoon. She is one Of
the finest boats on the river, and Capt. Stur-
geon one of the most reliable of boatmen.
She will take some 800 or 400 tons of
freight from this point. -tfaa
The Bos0ling Green presented her old IA
miliar face yesterday. She leaves to-day
for Green river. Her accommodations are
excellent both for freight and passengers.
...... The Charley BosCen arrived early
yesterday morning with light trip of
freight and passengers. The Queen Of the
West arrived last night, keen for New Or
1890 The Dunbar departed at noon with
light trip. She took on some flour from
the lower mill and some groceries to fill or
ders. - i 1T.
ION the last trip of the Dunbar, while
at Uniontown, the second Engineer, Mr..
Haywood, was seriously hurt, while attempt
ing to oil the pitman. The scalp was torn
from his head and. he was otherwise con-
siderably hurt. He was brought to this
city, and in consequence of having no bones
broken, will probably soon recover.

laborers engaged on the leyee at Cairo.
..-...The ,Scioto came down last night,
and returned TO Louisville

vile, died on the 9Th. He had been enga-
ged In the steamboat agency business for
over quarter of century, and previously

We clip the following from the N
o. Picayt1le of the 7th inst :
Yesterday was dark and dismal, without
n redeeming point. 1t rained all day, re-
lieving the levee of that dust, that had be-
come an intolerable nuisance. -
Business on the levee was dull. The de.
partures and arrivals were not very numer.
GUS. Among the departures we notice thai
of the Grand Duke she had a large trip oil
freight and passengers.
......The following rather absurd para
graph we find in the Cincinnati Commercial
of yesterday. We incline to the belief thai
the Southern boatmen are getting sick and
tired of Northern boats. They are finding
out the fact that cheap built freesoir boat;
are dear bargain in the end: =
A gentleman posted in boat building mat
tiers informs us that parties inst. Louis are
about contracting here Tor two hne packets
for the st. Louis and Memphis trade. Two
new packets will also be built here for the
Arkansas trade, another for White River
and probably low water packet for the
Cincinnati and Memphis trade. Two of thu
new packets for the Memphis and New Or
leans trade will also be built here.-Lou
Courier
What there is absurd that person should
go to Cincinnati to have a boat built, W.
are at q loss to discover. We presume Their,
are several places on the Ohio River wher,
steamboats, can be built just as good ant
cheap as at Louisville. By the way, neigh
Dor Courier, don't your attempt to excite tn
prejudices of Southern people against North
ern built boats, appear contemplate, nov
you take second thought on the subject
