.. The River at this point is again sta
tionary at about l 2 inches above the level
at which it commenced to rise. There is
now about l feet of water in the channel
above this city.
Business on the levee was dull, and
the boats at the landing were doing a
very slim business.

en-, leaves for Cairo to-day. She is the best
boat of her class in this part of the river,

accommodating set of officers ON any part of
it. Mr.. P. D. Viets is her agent here, and
will receive all freight with which she
may be favored. Passengers will find the
Boaoen everything they can desire.

under those popular officers, Capt. Pillsbury
and Clerk Edwards, is the boat selected for
this service. She will be the pioneer mail
boat between Evansville aud Bowling

repairing she has undergone, may be con-
sidered the finest boat that ever went into
Green river On Monday morning she will
make a trial trip and return Thursday
morning, and on the first of July the mail
will be started. We anticipate great benefit
to Evansville from this enterprise.
