A stylish young man may be OccR-
sionslly seen upon our leVee whose
makeup would induce one to believe
that he was just from Ne-Yawk. His
coat tail ends where the tail of well
shaped gorilla begins, and his tight pants
give to his legs the appearance of
couple of brOOmsticks sticking out of
nnolasses kegs. The young lady who
sells apples at the City Wharf boat views
him with an adoring eye, and thinks he
looks "sweetly poorly"
The snagbOat 8. II. Long which has
been operating in the Arkansas, passed
up yesterday. or crew of twenty-nine
81 told, with which she went int that
river, twenty-one have been taken down
with the swamp fever, or something
very much resembling it. Having,
therefore, no crew for duty, she was
ordered to Cairo for the present.
The decision of the Judge in the
wharf boat question will, we learn, be
rendered on Monday. The Star Wharf
boat has been turned over by Capt. W.
Jay johnson to Capt. Larry HaTmstad.
It is still, however, in the hands of the
Sheriff who holds 3 claim against the
former prOprietOTs for the sum of $1,000.
The claim will be satisfied on Monday
when Capt. Harmstad will become sole
proprietor. We learn that the City
Wharf boat will be advertised for sale on
Monday or Tuesday next.
We learn that new steamboat agen-
CIV will be started in this city in few
days, by two young but experienced
steambOstmen.
The snag boat J. ]. Albert has worked
her way down to OseeOla, and will con-
tinue to this port, removing snags as she
comes.
The river bank, in caving away at
Sections, about thirty-tive miles above
this city on the Arkansas shore, has ex-
posed the hull OF a steamb boat, of which
the oldest inhabitant has no account.
The hull appears sound, and is that of
large sized steamer. A lady who has
lived in the vicinity for almost half
century, has no recollection of any boat
sinking at or near the point where the
hull now lies.
ECapt. John Bofinger has purchased |
the steamer Mississippi from the Attain
tic and Mississippi Steamship Company. |
Portland bar has become a serious OBJ !
staele to Manhattan. Boats stick on it |
daily.
The Judge Fletcher has laid up at JEFF

South.

points on the Arkansas, carrying the !
United States mails. The Ozark is light !
draught, and will go through without |
delay.

Capt. Ashford, leaves on Tues

The New Orleans Times says, and we |
indOrse every word Of the following
The fare of the Able, and eshin accom- |
naodati0ns, are not to be SURPASSED BY 4
the best hotels of the coantry, while no 1
more clever and attentive officers than /
those on board could be found. Messrs.
S. G. Creighton, John +. Douglas and ].
Langlois have charge OF the Office. Capt.
Nat Green informs US that the Mollie
Able will probably make one more trip
here this season, an after that viii layu
TO do some necessary repairing, rspaint-
ing, ETC., preparatory to entering the
Memphis and New Orleans trade the
coming fall The Moliie Able and the
Magenta are to be the alternate packets
In the trade, and will continue in it dur
ing the entire season, commencing in
September next. Due notice will be L
given to the public of the days Of denart-
ure selected by these packets. There
fore shippers here, as well as at Memphis
and the bend landings, would do well to
bear that fact in mind, and extend to
them the patronage which they are so
well deserving of. Both Captains, Nat
s. Green and J. F. Hicks, have been
identified with the Memphis trade for
many years, and We feel sure If any gem
1emen are entitled to the public patron
age, they certainly are.
