CHAs. GOODWIN.
The weather yesterday was warm.
The nights have turned cool; sleepers
do not find a light layer of blankets
uncomfortable.
Business at the landing was dull
and nothing of interest TRANSFERRED eX-
cept the sinking of the MOhaWk's
barge and the examination of the
wharf by the city's cu5tOdians, a full
report of which will doubtless be
made at their meeting this evening.
If they would cause the removal of
the bluff, nov SO u~nattractive an en-
Enlistment to the front of our city,
and make the dirt useful at the upper
landing, it would be a wise move.
