Business was rather dull on the Ievee
yesterday morning, with no arrivals. The

ant packet........The st. Louis Democrat of
Tuesday says that John Thayer, from
Evansville, a deck hand, was drowned
from the Linnie Drown, on the 18th, at the
mouth of Little Red river. We never
heard of any such man in EVANSVILLE.
Steamboat men everywhere admit that the
steamboat printing and blank books from
the Evansville JOURNAL Job Office and
Book Bindery excels anything of the kind
got up between Cincinnati and New Or
leans. All orders are promptly filled in
style that defies all rivalry On Monday
next the Rose Hite will take the place of
the Tarascon as the Monday boat from
Louisville-the Tarascon coming out on
Tuesday This is done for the special ac-
commodation of excursion parties on the
9Th of July-the Tarascon having more
room than either of the other boats in the
line. This shows the desire of the mail
line to accommodate the people.
