everybody seemed happy and pleased at it.
Not mnch prospect OF any more rain at

Business on the landing was extremely
where at present, and what boats were
loading were doing it at very great
sacrifice to their pOcketbOoks.
The river still continue receding and is

water gauge of 1862 ,.-.
The arrivals yesterday were the Wade

The Jennie Howell not receiving enough
business on Wednesday, laid over until last
evening, and left with fine trip for Qua
chita river.

plete her repairs was unable to get off the

vice in her trade during the season, has
concluded to take a short rest, and the
