Argyle, New Orleans Dunbar, Padudah
Kate May, Ark river Anglo Saxon, ST. Louis
The weather night before last and
yesterday morning was singing cold. 1t
showed the greater part of Tuesday, and
froze hard Tuesday night. Yesterday after
noon it moderated little, and the snow
commenced to melt. Business on the land
ing was unusually dull. The river contin-
mes 20 decline. Freights are without change.
We record but few arrivals and departures.
The Dunbar came in early in the morning
and left at noon with a fair trip. The Kate
Sdrchet arrived short time before l Q o clock
with a good cargo. We give her manifest
in another place.
Last night the weather again turned
cold, and it was one of the most severe
nights of the season.
49,. The splendid steamer Grey Eagle
will be down this evening from Louisville
and return. She is one OF the most complete
boats on the river. Her outfit is all new
and has been selected with especial reference
to the trade in which she is now running
Her furniture is rich, her living sumptuous,
her accommodations unrivalled. Capt. Dam
iels and Duncan are known far and near for
their gentlemanly department and urbane
dispositions. They succeed in making all
who take passage on their boat feel perfectly
at home. Persons desiring 10 go to Louis
vile should make their arrangements to take
passage on the Grey Eagle.
On the last trip of his steamer, Capt DAN
iels was favored with magnificent present
from our fellow-townsman, Mr.. Christian
Hedderich. The gift was a magnificent
Grey Eagle-the American bird, but in
confinement. The specimen was one of
the finest of its species, and could it be rem
dered tame enough to remain on the boat
without being placed in confinement, it
would be an object of great interest.
