RIVER NEws-The Sucker State arrived
from below and departed for Dubuque this
morning.
The Keithsburg come in from Fort Mad
ison last evening 30 minutes past midnight
having left that place At twelve minutes past
nine in the moning,-making the run and
stoppingat all the landings, in fifteen hours
and eight minutesi Capt. Campbell claims
that this is the best time that has been
made on that beat since the days Of the J.
Mckee. The Ke,thsburg is in tip-top order
from stem to stern, and with anything like
fair sailing can keep making just such
trips.
The New Boston will be the regular
packet for Fort Madison, to morrow morn
ing at o'clock. Shippers and passengers
will find e-erything right and agreeable on
this boat. Capt. Buford spares no pains to
accommodate his numerous patrons, and
the public found out long ago that Lem
Parkhurst was whole team in the Office.
The James Means will be the regular
packet for Dubuque and intermediate land
inas Tomorrow morning promptly at 7 o.
clock, passengers should he on hand and
shippers must have their freight ready,
Capt. Wood always leaves on time and
makes connections promptly. Remember
the James Means tomorrow merning.
The river is falling slightly, though there
is water in abundance.
The steamer Lansing left Dubuque last
evening on an exploring expcdition-to see
how FAR up the river might be open. The
opinion is that boats can run as far up as
Mc,'regor by this time.
A NEw ARRANGEMENT. The Dubuque
Times says the Northwestern Packet Com
pany. together with the steamboat compa-
MICS that navigate the Upper Mississippi,
have entered into new and novel arrange.
men in regard to gentlemen who receive free
passes Tor steamboat travelling. Hereafter

as they are on reaIroads, receiving their ride
free, and paying for their meals.
