er Wednesday night with a fair trip,
and proposed to return last evening.

of Green River and concluded to lie
by until the ice run cut or grew setter
The Nick Longworth had good
trip, and after stopping here a few mo-

before her. Capt. Ed: sent his wife
and family home by rail last evening
If he can reship his freight he will
reload here and below for New Or

in her appearance yesterday, having
doubtless, been deferred by the for
midable appearance of the floating
ice...............The Belle Lee left at L
o'clock yesterday, blowing her way
through the ice in fine style

tention to go though to Louisville IL
