The New Orleans bulletin. [volume] (New Orleans [La.]) 1874-1876, 1875-01-14

We were blessed with clear sky yesterday
for the first time in ten days, and the pros
poets are favorable for good weather during
| the remainder Of the present week.
Business was pretty fair yesterday and sew
eral packets got off with good trips. Among
them we notice the Lessie Taylor, for Cam
den, and Era No. 10, for Red River.
Late river kilograms will be found on first
page.
For list Of arrivals and manifests see Marine
column.
Plenty OF water is the latest news from Red
and Ouachita rivers.
Full card to Ouachita and one-half to Red
River are the present rates.
Work on the repairs to the lower steamboat
landing is being pushed forward, with fair
prospects of having it in safe condition at
least by this time next year.
The upper wharf is in tolerable fair repair,
and with little attention can be kept so.
| A cotton float got stuck between the rails of
the Mobile Road, near the Crossman street
crossing, yesterday morning, just as train
was leaving the depot at Canal street, and the
driver, instead Of repeating little Phils cele-
brated remark, 81 am not afraid got off and
dusted-the mules followed him and saved
| the wagon.
| We are not prone to lavishing praise
upon steamboats, and steamboats, gener-
| ally, but on this occasion, as the Will
| lie is about to make her debut in a new
trade, we will leave the beaten track and say
few words about the boat and her whole
souled commander, Capt. Z. B. Trinidad. In
the estimation Of every ons-that is Of those
| conversant with river steamers-the Willie is
classed as the best low water steamer afoat,
and as for her captain, our pen is too feeble
| to attempt to write up his merits and many
virtues. All we can say is that as steam
boatman either on the roof or in the Office,
| he has but few equals.
The following steamers left port Yesterday:
Mary Ida for Upper Coast, r. w. Dugan for
Arkansas River, Era No. 10 for Red River,
Bertha Drummer for Ouachita River, Yazoo
for Yazoo River, and Lessie Taylor for Cam
den.
