THE Heather, yesterday, was some
what variable. Starting out with fac
shower in the morning, the clouds soon
cleared away, allowing the sun to shine
forth brightly, and cool breeze springing
up, the greater part of the day was as pleas
ant as one could wish. Toward evening
however it again clouded up, and became
close and sultry, with prospect of rain.
1.-The d. b. Campbell will be found
at our landing this morning, with fine
load of tobacco.
1.-The GreenUWe left on Saturday on a
short trip to South Carrollton for load OF
tobacco, which is to go East by railroad.
80" The Glendale passed up on Saturday
morning with only one wheel in operation
We did not learn the cause Of the trouble.
I'VE learn from the officers of the
Peytona, that on Friday night the Scio:o
was set on fire while laying at the landing
at Louisville, and totally consumed. In
sured
$3.50. The steamer Kate Sarchet, which
left this port on Wednesday, struck snag
on her way down, about o'clock on Fri
day afternoon. Failing to get over Nine
Mile bar, she was compelled to return, and
at latest advices remained at Little Rock,
sunk in feet of water. She was loaded
in part with 500 barrels of SALT about half
of which was lost, but the remainder OF
her cargo was uninjured. The snag struck
her just forward of the boilers, and split
her open as far aft as the doctor engine.
We are unable to ascertain the amount OF
loss, which We suppose is covered by in
surance.
DREADFUL ACCIDENT-THREE Persons
DRowNED.-Just as we were going to press
last night we received the following
OLDHAM's LANDING, Ky, June 1st.
To-day, while attempting TO cross the
river in skif, just below here, a young
man by the name of Giltner, his sis ter, Mrs
Jacob Grim, and her daughter, about l:
years old, were run ove by the mail boa
Jacob Strader, and all three drowned. A
number of persons now engaged il
dragging for the remains.
In haste, a. J. OLDHAM.
P. Slow the occurrence happened
have not learned.-Lou. Courier.
'-....Capt. Pilsbury, of the Masonic GEN
left for Louisville, on the GREY Eagle, o.
Saturday evening, for the purpose of pro
curing a couple of engines for the Gem
prior to starting her as regular semi
weekly mail packet between our city an
Bowling Green. We are little surprises
that the Captain should go to Louisville 70
his engines. Cannot our extensive machn
shops turn out engines that would do tn
work as we'll as those at Louisville?
.....As we came up yesterday evening
we met the Bo1cen we'll on her way 70
Cairo, undaunted by wind or wave. Their
is now no regular connection between Pa
ducah and Cairo except the regular tw
chances a week, which the Bo,cen offers
for the Scott the former Paducah and Cair
packet, has of necessity laid up for repair!
The regular, Evansville, Mt, Vernon. Pa
ducah and Cairo boats should be sustained
for when, they from any cause, suspen
their trips, it leaves the river communities
ton between these places in doubtful con
dition.-M. Vernon Umpire.
