Boats Leaving To-Day.
1t is impossible to predict with any
degree of positiveness, what boats
will leave to-day The Mary Erwin
is the regular Friday packet, and
viii no doubt return to Cairo if she
arrives in time; if not, and the Louisa
/ arrives, she will most likely return !
to-day. The Rose Hite is the boat |
due from Louisville, but it, is /
scarcely possible. for. her to get in.
The Ollie Sullivan will, we presume, /.
leave early to-day, and cunnect with I
the Louisville packet at Owensboro.
