LOUISVILLE. - The Courier, Of 7
says:
The Belle Lee on her last trip was
FIVE days and 19 hours out, and this |
trip she has accomplished it in little /
over FIVE days, and it is but reasona-
bic to calculate that if she made a /
run for it, the time could be made in
a little over five days, say four days
aud six hours. We believe she can
do it.
As an evidence of the forwardness
of the season, we learn that the first /
boat to arrive at St. Paul, Upper Mis-
sippi, this season, was the Phil. Sher-
idan. on the 18th inst. Last Season
the first arrival at that port was the
Itasca- on the list, or II days later In
the season.
The Sheridan arrived at St. Paul
on the 4th inst.
