River Reporter N. o. Bulletin.
Anothes beautiful day yesterday-clear and
the air baEmy as spring.
Business on the landing yesterday was
tolerably fair, as far as few boats were con-
cerned, but majority Of steamers in port
we're doing nothing at all.

Of lading to all points on Ouachita River and
its tributaries The Captains Blanks have
made every preparation to accommodate the
residents of the Ouachita Valley, and we hope
that their efforts will meet with the success
that they so richly deserve.

We republish the following from our issue
of yesterday and wish the officers in question
to pay attention to the request made therein:
We call the particular attention of those vigil
liant officers, Horrigan and Guerin, to the
negro women of lewd character who daily visit
She river front and shock the ears of all
passers by with the vilest slang imaginable.
Rates to Red River are still half-card, with
no prospects for improvement until the boats
begin to report two or three feet on Rosa and
Grand Ecore bars.
We again call the attention Of our city au-
thorities to that portion of the batture in front
of the store of Messrs. E. Conery & Son. At
present there is perfect lake of mud there.
Pittsburg to Cairo. The Mississippi is falling
as far down as Memphis, and rising from there
down.
