Miscellaneous. -yya, sE.r,.,
Yesterday was the-dullest day on the
levee that we have experienced for
some time, even in these dull times. TT e
only boat doing anything were the Louisa
and News Boy, and they were not receive
ing largely before noon.......The prospects
for an Improvement In navigation are
gloomy enough, and many -observant
frog nosticators predict q continued slim
channel and an early freeze up this win
ter. We rather cOncede in this view,
though we wish it were otherwise.
There. is a rise of six or eight inches Ie-
ported at Pittsbnrg. but it win require
heavy and continued general rains to pro-
duce a good tide in the Ohio....--.The
News Boy towed one of the Henderson
wharfboats home rom the dry dock, on
Monday night. .......The Ollie Sullivan ar
rived at 10 o'clock yesterday, with a
moderate trip. The Bermuda is the on-
