Having been taken seriously i'll on Tues
day afternoon we were unable to close up
our river reports, having been compelled
to take ourself to bed.........The Tarascon
and Mary Ament came and went with very
moderate trips.......The Sam Orr left late
with a good trip-better than we supposed
she would get The Argosy arrived dur
ing Tuesday night and laid up at the bone
yard She will, however, we learn, take
the place of the Charmer and go to Cairo
to-day............The VIM. White, singularly
enough, laid over and was preparing to go
out last evening. The Ada Lyon had q
good trip in and left again last evening.
....We think it would be more profitable
to the boats, and convenient to the people,
to have the Green River packets keep their
regular days, and that those days be differ
ent one. from the other. Sometimes we
have three boats Egoing out together, at
other times, for two or three days, no boat
leaves. Fix you days, gentlemen, and
keep them.
