made the run from this city in little
over eighteen hours, making her time
from New Orleans to Cairo three days
and fifteen hours. She doubtless ar
rived at Evansville last night. The Pat

left here Saturday, at half-past six in
the evening, and arrived at Cairo at Z
p. m. last night, but claims to have made
the run in eighteen hours and forty-fye
minutes running time, occupying five
hours in taking wood and making land
ings. The Lee will arrive at Louisville
this evening.
Bill Brown, the negro who killed Mate
Doyle Of the Grand Tower, at Cairo, was
arrested there Saturday night, and is in
limbo. What pity it would be if some
of his friends should induce him to com
nit suicide.
The river bank is caving in rapidly at
Council bend, forty-ive miles below here,
and threatens to make a new chute which
will shorten the distance twenty-five
miles.
The Robert Mitchell will be due up to-
morrow on her way to Cincinnati.

Honest Joe" will, with buggy, harness,
etc., be rallied of in few days. Elem

new business that he cannot even exer-
else the nag, and will dispose of him in
that way.
