pany..ImpOrtant Improvements.

We copy the following from the ST. Louis
Republican
This important branch of our river com.
merce has of late assumed gigantic proper.
items. and the amount of freight that is
weekly taken away by them is truly aston
Ishlng. The line consists of six powerful
towboats and about fifty barges, with car
rying capacity of from 600 to 1900 ton each,
which Is equal to thirty steamboats,. For
the past season this company has sent out
about three thousand tons per week The
freight usually carried down stream consists
of produce, while on the return trip hea w
cargoes of iron and merchandise are brought
up. The company has at times as much as
twenty thousand tons atioat.
The company was organized in May. 1866.
and, notwithstanding the many difficulties
it had to contend with, has nobly fought its
way through. and permanently established
itself as one of the leading and most i'm
portant transportation companies in the
country, its boats and barges. when strung
out In line, measuring within few feet of
two miles i'll length.
For the fall trade, the company, at a very
heavy outlay, have built three extra sized
barges as an experiment, each of which has
an average capacity of fourteen hundred
tons. They have been constructed with
great care under specification of Captain
Miller of the board of underwriters, and
are III every respect as heavy in timbers as
q steamboat. One of these, the wv II.
Frisbie,' which is included in the tow that
left yesterday morning. has on board 725
tons actual weight, and is drawing one
inch less than five feet Of water. which
establishes the fact that large transporta-
tatiOn is equally practicable in low as we'll
as high water. The new eighteen hundred
ton barge recently built at Mound City will
arrive here on Tuesday in tow of the kellogg
1t Is claimed that on six foot stage of
water she will carry not less than a thou
sand tons, which is truly marvellous
The tOwbOats of the company are all
being thoroughly repaired, and will be in
fine order for the fall trade. The Atlantic,
under the command of Captain Alexander
Grant, has received very thorough over
hauling under his superintendent and
will take her place in the line next week.
The Mary Alice, the duck of the line,
has been newly painted, her ctimneys
raised six feet, and many other improve
ments made which renders her. without ex-
ception the finest towboat on the Western
waters
The perfection to which this branch of
our river commerce has attained is very
gratifying to those interested. which EN-
braces all classes, as by the river trade St.
Louis has gained her position as the great
est commercial emporium in the West The
efforts OF Captain George H. Rea and his
efficient corps of officers have been most in
defatigable in establishing so important an
enterprise, which alike benefits the entire
community.
The iron barge mania that has recently
broken out atresh will receive due attention
from tins company, and as soon as practical
Bile they propose to test the matter in most
thorough manner.

A Strange Story Of Old Men, Yeuns Wo.
nen, Beard Bills ana Brandy Geek
tails-The Troubles Of Hotel Keeper.
From the New York World.
On the ninth of July last an old man, not
less than sixty years of age, who gives his
| name as Carrot May, and his residence as
1863 Blocker street, called at the Atlantic
Hotel, Bath, Long Island, and engaged two
rooms and board for himself and three lady
friends, one of whom he said was his wife.
They did not occupy the apartments until l
and his lady friends came to the hotel in a
carriage. They at once repaired to the
| rooms and proceeded to enjoy themselves
| regardless Of the comforts Of others.
They were in fact jolly party, and none
more so than our ancient friend Of sixty.
The other guests at the hotel thought it
rather singular that man 80 far advanced
in years should be the husband of SO young
lady, and not only this, but that he should
have two more equally young and pretty.
They enjoyed themselves at the hotel until
about four o'clock on Monday afternoon,
when they left, having been presented with
bill for fOrty-One dollars for board and one
for twenty-seven dollars for brandy cock
tails at the bar, the latter Of which the old
gentleman paid.
He left without paying his board bill,
uOWcNcr, anu uIu uOt MAKE his appearance
again until two weeks ago to-day, when he
was found boarding at the Bath Hotel, adj
joining the Atlantic. Mr.. Furnell, pro-
prietorjOf the last named house, sent con-
stable to Mr.. May, who reminded him that
he had better pay his bill in order to avoid
trouble. Mr.. May went to the Atlantic
Hotel, stated that he was short of funds,
but promised to pay the bill as soon as
possible, and left his gold watch and chain
as security for the Sal due. Last Tues
day he sent messenger to Bath with
s25 to pay the bill and get the watch.
Mr.. Furnell refused to deliver the pro-
perty, however, whereupon Mr.. May
appeared before Justice Walsh and
preferred a complaint of highway robbery,
upon what grounds it is difficult to see. The
case was called on at ten o'clock Yesterday,
Counsellor Ready appearing for the hotel
keeper. Mr.. Furneil, and John P. Troy and
Mr. Mcclure for the complainant in the alb
sence of Mr.. Hughes. The testimony of
Mr.. May settled the case. he stated that
he left his watch in pledge for his board
bill, forty-one dollars. Whereupon Judge
Walsh dismissed the complaint, telling Off
Ger Frost to give the watch back to the
hotel keeper. This ended the case for the
present, but it is understood the accused,
who has been locked up two nights. will
sue Mr.. May for $4,000 damages.

The Difference,

The Savannah Republican says that while
Grant is sending his soldiers to Europe to
learn the art of war from the French and
Prussians Napoleon, it seems, has invited
Lee, johnson and Beauregrd over, in order
that Europe may be taught the art of war.
That is to say, Napoleon desires to learn
how to retreat, and eventually, after he has
been licked, how to dictate terms to his
conqueror, and when those terms are con-
ceded, how not to abide by them.-Ameri-

In Vassalboro'. one of the most fourishing

Returns from New Hampshire are coming

the cities, show an aggregate net decrease
Of 6l42, compared with the census of 1860,
Reports from the whole State viii probably
