MISCELLANEOUS.
Business was fair on the landing,
Saturday, although there were no ar
rivals outside the regular packets......
The Idlewild arrived after daylight.
with moderate trip of freight, but
good passenger list.........The Fayette
came up full of people......The new
Florence Lee arrived at III o'clock, |
and hundreds rushed aboard to ex
anime and admire her matchless
beauty. She is beyond question the
most elegant, beautiful, best appoint
ed and best adapted stern-wheel
steamer we have seen. She leaves for
Eastport tomorrow. when we will
give complete description of her,.
The Morning Star arrived little af.
ter 2 o'clock, with fair trip of freight
and many people.........The Florence
Lee had all the freight she felt safe
in taking.
GIeauIngs from Our Exchanges
PITTsBURa.-The Commercial Of
Thursday says:
The marks last evening indicated
three feet and falling. Trade on the
landing below the suspension bridge
was dull. At the Monongabela and
Geneva landings fair amount Of ac-
tivity was perceptible.
CINCINNATI.-The Commercial Of
Friday says:
John Gilbert President of the
Evansville, Paducah and Tennessee
River Packet Company, and Captain
Henry Miller, of Evansville, were
among the Florence Lees passengers
last night, both destined for Evans
vile. The latter will return here in
a few days. The Lee departed from
here one hundred days after her build
ing contracts were signed in Olncin-
natl, and we may add her owners are
delighted with the fne specimen of
marine architecture they have in the
trim and beautiful Florence Lee.
Miss Florence Lee, daughter of Capt.
Thomas l.. Lee, has presented her
namesake with a beautiful water urn,
goblets and salver, which adorns the
ladies' cabin Of the boat.
Capt. Yves. Jacobs has chartered
the Champion from the Express Line
Company, and will run her between
st. Louis and Cairo.
That last paragraph is evidently a
mistake. We saw a letter, Saturday,
from Capt. Asa Mason to James
Clark. pilot. who. with Geo. Hukill,
brought the Florence Lee here, ask
ing him to come to st. Louis. The
letter was dated September LIST
Clark went by the IdleWild. The
Commercial further says:
Cant. Chenoweth and Clerk r. w.
Wise. of the Emma Floyd, have ar
lived from Portland.
