river is leaving large deposits of mud
and debris on the wharf. We do
hope our city authorities, and espe-
cially the Wharf Committee, will take
measures to clean it off, One of the
steam fire engines could in an hour
each day wash all the wharf clean; or
two men could shove the mud into
the river as fast as it falls. Our river
commerce is one Of the most import
ant sources Of wealth we possess, and
we think that it is a duty as well as a
mark Of self-respcct that we keep the
wharf in good condition. We re-
specially ask the attention of the
Wharf Committee to this matter.

A shooting ARRAY occurred on the

Two roughs came aboard there, and,
after annoying the passe ugers and
officers, got into a quarrel with Mr..
