Business at the landing was rather
quiet, as it should be on the Sabbath,
and the discharging of the Grand Tower
at the elevator was about all that tran
spired worthy of note. The Continen-
tai passed down during the morning
loaded to her full capacity, and took six
hundred and eighty sacks Of grain below

twenty-three bales cotton and one hun
dred and twenty-five sacks of seed here,
and brought one hundred and twenty
five people to see Momus. The Grand

nine hundred tons, including four thou
sand six hundred and eighty dry barrels,

and forty casks bacon, four hundred and
ninety kegs OF beer, and three thousand
and ninety-three sacks corn, bran and
oats. The Andy Baum, Idlewild, Le-
gal Tender, Commonwealth and several
other boats were due, and doubtless ar
rived during the night.

into the river. The belI-boat of the
