From Exchanges.
Messrs. Devereux 4 Co. shipped to-day
on the Molie McPike twenty-five tons Of
bones to New Orleans, en- route to Bos-
ton, where they are manufactured into
bone dust for fertilizing purposes. The
freight to New Orleans is only about
thirty cents per hundred, and about the
same TO Boston from New Orleans. Ger
tainly very reasonable freight, thirteen
dollars ton for three thousand miles
transportation. The old bones gathered
up away ont in Iowa, after going
through the mill, sell readily for fifty
dollars per ton to Eastern agriculturists.
Davenport Gazette.
Steamboating promises to be lively on
the Saint Croix. The Savannah line OF
boats, comprising the Viola, Weeks and
Lady Pike, will run here regularly. The
St Louis boats come in every week, and
then we have four or five boats running
exclusively in this trade. - Hudson
