y OFFICE OF THE BULLETIN,

OIL Tuesday Morning, June rs, 1874 !
The weather yesterday was clear and warm
during the forepart Of the day, but about
Pm. heavy shower of rain commenced to
deluge our muchly washed city and continued
for over three hours, much, we expect to the
satisfaction Of young ducks, but to the d1ssat-
isfaction Of all parties having business on the
steamboat landing.
Yesterday was truly blue Monday on the
wharf in regard to business.
We made flyisg visit Sunday last TO Biloxi,
and while there met our FRIENDS Capt Sam
lawson, Dan Malone, Morgan Brown, and
others too numerous to mention, who ell de-
sired to be remembered to their friends on the
river. Morgan Brown at the Nixon, and Dan
Malone at the Hole-in-the- Wall, are doing
well, and will ever be plsased to see their
steamboat friends Capt. Sam Lawson says
he will leave Biloxi when fish cease to swim.
As yet no action has been taken by our City
Council in regard TO the reduction OF the pre-
sent exorbitant wharfage dues exacted from
the steamboats, that are daily compelled to tie
up to our wharves This is . question which
should meet with prompt attention from our
Administrators.
