u.s.. ,g FRIDAY MORNING. June %. 1871.
WEATHER. BUSINESS. ETC.-Yesterday was
another of seething hot days, alike unen.
durable to man or beast, and more espe-
cially to those who had much moving
around to do, or exposed to the hot sun.
Toward evening clouds were lowering in
the northeast, which promised us a shower
perhaps during the night,
Business remains at a dead stand, moth
ing hardly doing, except the discharging of
the Katie, Richmond and Potomac The
outward bound steamers were getting but
very little, except the La Belle, for Shreve-
| port, which seemed to be doing very well
and would no doubt have a full cargo
The arrivals we're the ArgOsy and barges
from Cincinnati, the Katie from st. Louis
with rather a slim trip, Wade Hampton
from Natchez, G. II. Durfee from Jefferson
| with 1880 bales of the staple, Mayflower
| from Camden, b. L. Hodge No. Z from
Grand Eeore, Frolic from the upper coast,
| and the Lessie Taylor from OpelOusas
The departures were the Ouachita Belle
for Greenville, ID. l.. Tally for Camden, La
Belle for Jefferson, and the Henry Tete for
LafOurche - -
The Katie, after making the round trip
to st. Louis and not finding it very profit
able, has concluded to tie up the bank and
await better times. In the meantime she
will be fully overhauled, ready for the fall
campaign. .
The John T. Moore, CAPTAIN w. T.
Boardman, having completed her repairs.
will be found at the wharf this morning
ready to receive freight and passengers,
and will leave positively on Saturday. at S
r M for Shreveport and Jefferson "a
We learn from George Cayton, the courte-
Gus pilot OF the Katie, that the mammoth
sternwheeler Henry c. Yaeger was hard
aground, on her downward trip, at Vista
bar, above Lake Providence. She is a long
way out of the present channel and will re,
quire some tightening before she can get
off.
We regret TO learn of the sudden demise.
on board the steamer w. s. Pike. of James
M. Peterson, Esq, the well known steam
boat coal dealer. We could not learn of
what disease he died He leaves a LARGE
circle of friends and acouaintances to re-.
greet his loss. The steamers at the wharf
had their flags at half mast as token of
respect to his memory. We presume his
remains will be brought here for interment.
The Richmond not having enough to
justify her starting, has laid over until this |
evening.
The Lotus No. 8, failing to receive suffi.
clent cargo, has laid over until Saturday, |
when she will leave for Camden
