River Reporter N. o. Bulletin.
Yesterday was dull, dreary day on the river
front, cloudy overheadand very muddy under
foot.
Being the last day of the month, there was
but little business transacted, yet the steamers
that did leave had fair trips.
A HAPPY New YEAR When the stroke OF
IL o'clock rang forth from the Cathedral bells
last night, the year 1874 passed into eternity,
and young rs, fresh from the domain of Old
Father Time, stepped in upon the scene and
took place on the worlds calendar. To the
old year we say adieu, you were fraught with
many troubles, especially to the citizens Of
this down-trodden State yet you bear away
many bright and pleasing memories. We
hail the new year and trust that when it
closes, it will leave behind naught but pleas
ant recollections. To our steamboatmen and
numerous other friends, we wish year of
prosperity and good health. A Happy New
Year to you all, and many pleasant returns
that's the way to say it, we believe.
