ASoTHER STEAMER BURNED. - The
steamer Silver Spray, bound from New
Orleans To Cincinnati, with . fine trip Of
assorted freight, and fair passenger trip,
took fire yesterday ut Charley Harris
Wood Yard, about 40 miles above Mem
phis, and was totally destroyed.
The passengers and crew escaped to the
shore, and no lives are reported lost. The
City Of Cairo arrived soon afterwards, and
returned to Memphis with her passengers
and crew.
An old superstition exists among steam
boatmen to the effect that when one seam
boat meets with an accident, two others
will meet with similar one. The Dan
Able and Silver Spray have gone, and In
the language of tho barber we ask, "next."
