SUNDAY MORNING. July 9. 1871.
WEATHER, BUSINESS, ETC.-Yesterday
morning opened up with heavy rain, and
We had various and numberless showers
during the entire day, but this done but lit
tie good in cooling the atmosphere, for be-
tween showers it was very close and sultry,
making everybody feel very much debili-
tated, and no one seemed anxious to take a
foot race with such hot weather to contend
with
Business on the landing was confined al
most exclusively to the departing steamers,
and they all seemed to be doing very well;
in fact, as is usual on Saturdays. The drays
and wagons all seemed to be busy, and have
as much hauling as they could attend to.
We noticed that the iron steamer John I.
Moore seemed to have her full share, and
went out with a full load of freight and
passengers. Also, the Gladlola for Jeffer-
son, and Hodge for Grand Ecore, looked as
if they had been we'll patronized.
The only arrival since our last was the
st. John, from Baton Rouge, but the City
of Quincy was looked for every moment
when we left the leve6, and will no doubt
be found at the landing this morning.
The departures were the John L. Moore,
for Shreveport, Gladiola,. for Jefferson, B.
l.. Hodge No. 2, for Grand Ecore, w. S.
Pike. for Vicksburg, Frolic, for upper coast,
st. John, for Baton Rouge, LESSEE Taylor,
for Opelousas, and Cherokee, for Attakapas.
The river still continues to fall rapidly
and we may soon expect low water IN all
the tributary streams and bayOus, when the
low water crafts will come in for their har-
vest.
The iron steamer John T. Moore. which
arrived Friday evening. brought down
fine trip, consisting of 80 passengers, 316
bales of cotton and AS head of cattle.
BY telegram from Shreveport, to r. F.
Britton, we learn that the La Belle, Captain
ID. ID. Danals, will arrive here Monday,
and leave again on her regular day, Tues
day, July ii, at p. NJ, for Shreveport. If
you want any further information, we ad-
wise you to call on Dick Britton, at l35 Ora
vier street, who will gladly give it to you.
The Lotus No. 3, Captain NJ. n Wood,
will be found at the landing this morning.
and leaves again on Tuesday, July ii at 5
z. NJ, for Jefferson.
The mammoth steamer James Howard, of
the Merchants Southern line. left st. Louis
will arrive on Thursday and have imme
date dispatch on her return trip.
The steamer Henry Ames, Just as she
was leaving the wharf, on Friday evening,
received an order to proceed to the bar
racks below the city to take on a load of
soldiers to transport to some point up the
river, after which she went to the elevator
to take on a lot of box sugar. After COM
pleting the cargo, she could not leave until
after nine o'clock yesterday, before she
could get her clearance papers out of the
CustomhOuse. In the meantime her pas
sengers were suffering from heat and
mosquitoes to most intolerable degree.
We had the pleasure yesterday of well
coming back to our city our old associate,
Matt L. Scovell. He looks in fine health,
and we hope he may long continue so.
The steamer Texas, Captain C. w. Stinde,
j. F. Muse, clerk, will leave for Louisville
and intermediate ports on Monday, July 10,
at P. NJ, and we advise all travellers who
desire a pleasant and agreeable trip to
give the Texas a call, as she has fine large |
and airy rooms, and her officers will give |
you all attention and make you as com
Portable as you can find on any boat in the
trade.
