dance with an advertisement by the
| sheriff of Hamilton county, the MOllie
Norton was again offered for sale yester-
day, and was purchased by Mr.. w. r.
| Coffin for $500, which was the highest
bid received. This boat was offered for
sale at auction by the United States
marshal on the 10Th of July, and was
run " to $500, but was withdrawn be-
cause the bid was not sufficiently high to
Justify the sale. She was again offered
on the S0th of July by thes sheriff, when
the highest bid was $195, but the bidder
failed to produce the money. On the
Sth Of August she was offered by the
| United States marshal q second time,
when the highest bid, $500, was again
rejected. Yesterday she vas offered by
the sheriff a second time, and sold as
above stated. af.F SD aGH80JeEt
1t is well understood that the obliga-
tons Of the Mollie Norton will reach
about 81, 600, and that, therefore, she
will be again sold by the United States
marshal to satisfy these creditors, and
that the sale of yesterday was only to
liquidate certain claims, 10 order that
the marshal might give a good title.

meut ON the upper rivers to st. Louis is
increasing. An Illinois boat was COM
PEELED to refuse 1900 sacks grain and As
hogs. Missouri river boats come down
loaded to the water With hemp, tobacco,
| grain, etc. Every boat OF the northern
| line running have all they ear attend to
| up the 500 mile stretch and back. The
line is B valuable agent In the commerce
of st. Louis, and the management OF its
present officers is deserving Of the high
est encomiums. River falling here
steadily, and upper rivers still declining.
