sunday Morning, June 70, 1874.
We would respectfully call the attention of oul
steamboatmen to the superior advantages offered
| by the BULLETIN as an advertising medium. 1t
is the only daily paper in the city that publishes
the full manifest of steamboats, and this feature
alone causes it to find its way into the counting
room OF every merchant in the city.
1t was warm on the landing Yesterday in fact
1t Was-well, we will not use our own language to
express the degree eff heat but instead, will
substitute that used by prominent steamboat
and wel-known to be morally irreproachable,
we asked him yesterday how he liked the weather.
and his reply was, that if HI was any hotter
than the New Orleans steamboat landing, he did
not know how his Santanic Majesty man ged to
live there.
We noted quite an improvement in business
on the landing. The Trenton for Opelousas, B.
L. Hodge for Baton Rouge, Garry Owen for Cam

Ecore We're receiving freely all day.

10th U. s. Infantry, under command of Capt. AL
len. They go to Colfax, Grant Parish, to relieve
the company now at that place.
The Florence and barge arrived night before
last from Upper Red River, with cargo of wal
nut logs and roots. She landed at Carrollton,

feel disposed to pay 10 cents per ton for wharf
age.
