out of the twenty belonging in the city,
marching up Third street and down D in pro.
cession, and deliberately haltiug at D'Arte-

have concluded not to haul any mere freigh,
from the landing on Sunday. during the dry
weather. Going down to the boat, yester-
day evening they ascertained that the freight
would not be unloaded before this morning,
and consequently that they would be expect

and informed patrons concerned Of their in
tention. BY way of solemnizing their agree
