THE RIvEH.-Matters along the
landing looked very brisk yesterday.
several boats were receiving freight for
points below. We name the Rebecca
for Parkersburg; the st. Marys for
Cincinnati; the Importer for the lower
Ohio and ST. Louis, and the Glasgow
for Pittsburgh, among the number.
These, with the local packets arriving
and departing,and the usual loading and
unloading thereof, made busy scene.
such an one as we have not witnessed
on the wharton months. AT one time
yesterday there were eight or nine
boats thus engaged, and with
ringing bells, blowing horns,
and splashing wheels, memories
of other days were called up. We
had the pleasure OF meeting Captain
John Rogers, OF the "Greenback"
and its attendant craneboat, in the
city yesterday. Capt. Rogers is engaged
in clearing the snngs out of the river,
by order of our old Uncle Samuel. AT
present the "Greenback" lat Dog Ham
bar, and the Captain informs us that
operations will soon have to be sus-
pended on account of the lateness of the
season. The water is too cold for men
to work in, and such exposure will tell
on the health of the employees.
Captain Rogers says that in the new
channel on tine left OF Bruno's Island,
sixteen inches of water will be found
when there is scarcely enough on the
Glass House rifle TO float skiff. he
thinks II boat can get through the
Sisters, she can go to Pittsburgh with
out any delay.
Mr. w. G. Thompson, the efficient
and gentlemanly clerk of the Edin-
burgh, arrived in the city yesterday.
He leaves for Cincinnati to-day, and
the Edinburgh will resume her trips on
her regular days. She may be looked
for some day next week.
At dark there were four feet ten
inches in the channel, and falling.

y HANDSOME PIANO, manufactured
expressly for Mr.. w. II. Sheib, was
yesterday put on board the steamer
st. Marys. Mr.. Sheib has been doing
large business in the piano line re-
Gently, no less than three first class
pianos leaving his Iware-rooms during
yesterday. The reason of Mr.. Shieb's
success lies in the fact of his selling
only good instrument at low prices.
Six new pianos will arrive this week
for Mr.. S. Go and buy Steinway,
knabe or Emerson piano.
We were told yesterday, that there
will shortly be accommodations in the
State LuuRtic Asylum at Weston, for
two hundred additional patients. This
announcement will be gladly received
by those, especially, who have friends
laboring under this saddest of all ar
Elections, and are now confined in
county jails awaiting better quarters
and treatment in the asylum.
