The Weather, yesterday, was yedy
pleasant The air was warm, the sky clear,
and everything indicated that Spring har
really come at last.
Business on the levee was rather
dull. Few boatsarrived. Our shippers are
anxiously awaiting the arrival of fleet of
New Orleans boats, as they feel confident
they can just about load feet The car
go of one boat-like the Peytond-is hardly
a drop in the bucket. The amount of
freight she took is not missed.
$1,000 FreigAts remain as we quoted them
yesterday morning. They are still on the
increase. We will venture that no other
landing on the river presents SO enticing
prospect to the captain of an empty boat as
oar own From one end of it to the other,
freight is piled up ready for the first boat
that will take it.
1.-THE reliable and swift Dunbar is the
regular mail packet to Paducah to-day at IL
O'clock The Dunbar has facilities for MAX
ing travelling pleasant possessed by few boats
on the river. Her officers never seem so
well pleased as when they make their pas
sengers enjoy themselves.
... The steamer Bowling Green arrived
last evening about o'clock. She had
fine trip of passengers, but not great deal
of freight Mr.. Crexall has placed US I'M
der obligations for manifest. The B0a0-
ling Green left at o'clock this morning.
1890. The Peytona failed TO take all the
freight she agreed to. She couldn't hold it
all
...... The superb and unapproachable
Autocrdt left New Orleans last Sunday, and
will be home about Friday. There is plenty
of freight for her when she comes. i.
--... The Republic will be down to-day,
and will, no doubt, take large amount of
her load from this place. Among other
freight there is considerable stock awaiting
shipment which the Republic will probably
take. After the Republic comes the Ne,o
Uncle Sam and Chancellor. Between these
boats we hope to see our freight Trimmed
out somewhat. s.r

passengers escaped to the shore, except two
firemen and one deck hand, who lost their
lives. The Peoria was a new steamer, and
was built in Pittsburg at a cost of $50, 900.
She was insured in that city for SIS, 900.
'.--.- 1t is reported that some designing
scamp had placed train of powder under
the levee which protects the rear portion of
the town of Napoleon, to which he applied
a match, AMI the result was an utter de-
struction of the levee for considerable dis
lance. This act, it is thought will greatly
damage Napoleon, and the most intense ex-
element existed among the citizens. A
planter in the vicinity whose interests were
affected by the levee, is suspected as the per-
petrator of this high-handed outrage.
The steamer Izetta is now running from
New Orleans up the Missouri river. The
CROeta,o is plying between New Orleans and
ST. Louis.
