There is rise from nearly all the trib-
utaries to the Mississippi, from the Hi
nois river down, and everything now
promises quite food, though the river
at St Louis is now falling slowly. There
was slight fall of snow at St Louis on
Friday last.
The st. Patrick will be here in time to
leave for Louisville tomorrow evening
at six o'clock.
The water at this port is twenty inches
below the highest mark in 1865, and
twenty-five inches below 1862.
Cincinnati advices state that there is
not enough up-riyer tonnage or travel to
pay fuel bills The Cincinnati, Nash
vile, Vicksburg and Arkansas river
packets get nothing to do. 1t is estima-
ted that there is not one in ten of this
feet on the.western and southern waters
paying their current expenses.
STEAMBOAT PRINTING. We respectfully
ask our steamboat friends to call and ex-
anime the specimens of fine steamb oat
printing daily executed at the PUBLIC
LEDGER Office. Our prices will be found
to compare favorably with those of Gin
cinnati or St Louis, and to be greatly
below those asked by other city offices.
Bring your orders directly to us, and
save the commission charged by parties
who take in work they are not prepared
TO execute.

HOUSES OF ILL-FAME.-We thought for
while that our police were going to
keep pegging away at these houses until
they were forced to retire from the cen
tire of the city, and still hope that such is
their intention They are as impudsnt
as ever, but we notice that carriages and
loungers are not seen in front of these
dens, and much Of that outlandish bold
ness with which they did everything has
somewhat subsidized This is one step
toward reformation, and if our police
will only keep up the work of arresting
these sore nuisances, the time will not be
far distant when their work will be
crowned with success. They could rem
der the respectable citizen no greater ia
vor than by accomplishing this much
needed reformation. 1t is bad enough to
see these fallen creatures parade their
shame in public, without blazing their
sin in all its depravity, from some of our
finest buildings on our most frequented
thoroughfares.
