The Weather and Rivers.
The weather yesterday was dry and
hot-just the thing for the growing corn
and cotton, and week of such weather
will help the planters greatly. The
river rose two inches yesterday, and
stood twenty-five feet eleven inches
above low water. A decline of several
inches is reported at Cairo, and the river
at st. Louis is stationary; but above
there the water is evapOrating in both
the Missouri and Mississippi, while the
Ohio is rapidly getting down to a
troublesome stage. We are without the
signal kilograms, and for that reason
cannot give the usual detailed report.

| Movements OF Boats.
Yesterday was decidedly quiet day
at the landing, as the limited number of
arrivals would indicate, and the business
| done was hardly sufficient to pay the
boats for the coal used in getting to and
| from the wharf, which, by the way, has
had so little freight pass over it recently
| that a splendid crop of grass is growing
in some places, and in one or two local
tiles corn has sprouted up from between
! the cobblestones and is several inches in
hight. In view Of this fact it is sug-
gested that as business il the wharfage
collection way will be limited for some
| weeks, the city might realize a profit
from it by leasing it for q grazing
farm, provided the authorities would
fence II in. The City of Vicksburp
bales of cotton and 353 sacks seed, and
laid over till last evening, getting quite
number of people. The r. r. Lee

amounting in all to 234 packages, and
had about 60 through passengers, get
| ting a few here, and passed up for ST.

missed yesterday, or rather his lecture
was, by those who usually 20 out to

bic and shady spot and delivered his |
usual discourse from q pile of Nicholson |

and Pontotoc Streets The R. T.. Lee

Bread boat" in respect to the memo |
~ Of the chap who took a look at
her some time since and asked |
where the bread was sold that was
made on the boat, came up from the |
PHILIPPINE isle yesterday. She makes !
the run, eight miles, in an |

works remarkably well. She will enter |
the trade to Presidents island in a few
days as a regular packet......N n otwith- |
standing the exceedingly dull times the |

were not money-making, and on those |
