We learn that the steamer Sunny
South has been tied up at Wheeling by the
United States Marshal. The claims against
her amount to about 81 900, ana she will
doubtless be sold soon. She has been very
unfortunate craft, never having made dol
lar. She is a fue boat for the cotton trade,
and is only about six months old. The
steamer Capitola, also built for the Southern
trade. is in the hauds of the Sheriff at.
Wheeling.

in search of two suitable boats for Cumber-
land rivera fact which shows freight to be

1890 Vast quantities of pork, grain, and
produce are being transported over our rail-
road destined for the South. Drays are
kept busily engaged in hauling it from the
railroad depot to the steamboat landing
from whence the most of the shipments are
made direct. Our wharf is covered with
the northern products almost daily, and
shipped without delay.-N A. Ledger.
----"The steamboatmen of Cincinnati are
certainly generous hearted and benevolent.
They make donations almost weekly for the
benefit of the poor of that city. They do
mated quite sum last week.
---.''0ver 5000 packages of pork and
lard were shipped South from New albany
last week. The great portion of it arrived
over the Louisville, New Albany, and Chi
cago Railroad, and was destined for the Sc
