leans with three produce boats, passed into
the canal yesterday afternoon.
The Mary Miller, on her way to the White

From the Nicksburg Timesl
The Evening Times says: 1.-The Belle Yazoo
arrived with 600 bales Of cotton, which went
forward on the Lee
Mistaken, neighbor it went aft. Her
all.
You're mistaken again /; it went down. Oh,
you Aleck.
[From the st. Louis Republican, Dec. 81
The departures were the John F. Tolle,
which boat, after visiting the elevators, went
down on her way to New Orleans with well
filed deck, all she could carry on the present
water. The Commonwealth gets out at day
light this morning, and has all she can carry
IN the present attenuated channel. The two
departing boats in the Anchor Line, carrying
Memphis and Vicksburg freight, had good
trips.
It seems that the Paragon in her late ground.
ing rested on broken ice. It is the opinion
OF steamboatmen here that if fires had been
made in the hold the ice could have been
melted and the boat relieved in a short time
after the mishap. In 1861 the steamer Hia-
watha, in command OF Capt. Carson, met
with similar circumstance and was speedily
set afoat by the means mentioned.
rive have often heard Of fires III the hold
relieving steamers of debts, but this is the
first time we ever heard OF its being used to
keep them afoat.-REr. BULLETIN.
