SrucK on TIE Kocks-Thc Bill Hendcr-
son, in passing up the river above the rail
road bridge, this morning, met the steamer
Canada coming down, and turning out Of
the main channel few yards, to give the
down boat a chance to pass, ran aground,
and it was some time before she could get
off aud steam forward again.
The Canada was about two days in get
ting down from Dubuque. The water is
getting so very low that the large boats
must surely lay up, and the smaller ones
will have hard pinching to find a channel
sufficiently moist to admit Of q successful
passage.

Gas LIGHT. The gas committee have
already commenced the labor Of selecting
the seventy five lamps which arc to be light
cd under the late arrangement entered into
by the city authorities and the gas company.
We are inclined to the belief that lighting
seycnty-tive lamps only will be the source Of
dissatisfaction, and consequently the City
Council will be flooded from meeting to
meeting, for an indefinite time, with peti-
tons asking for more lamps, and that the
result will be the Lighting Of one hundred
lamps instead of scventy-ivc. For city Of
the size and importance Of the city Of Dav-
cnport, We think one hundred lamps little
enough, and we hope that the terms Of the
agreement will BE so modified as to make
the number an even hundred, instead Of
seventy five The intention is to commence
lighting the city with gas again on the first
day Of July. Mr.. Dermody, the superin-
tcndcnt Of the gas works, is already getting
out the lamps and repairing them, prepare
tory to putting them on the posts without
delay. Our city viii again assume q more
enlightened appearance when these prospec-
tive improvements are consumated. There
will be no more stumbling about Of dark
nights, and the per ccntagc Of crime will un-
doubtedly be greatly reduced.
