The weather yesterday was just the oppo-

with fine tri ps.

In consequence 81 having to make few re-
pairs to her machinery, the Ouachita Belle

Three towboats the John II. Means, Bee

Clements are winning golden opinions, as
will be seen from the following extracts the
irst is from the Donaldsonvile Chief:
Capt. Jos Qalfores's new boat, the Era No.
10, is meeting with the favor which we pre-
{ctel for her and may be regarded as per
-lthGul ScIui-HtEhig PACKET III bayou La
gourche trade. She leaves New Orleans Mon
days and Thursdays at o'clock 2. NJ, carry
ing freight and passengers to all landings
along her route cheaply and with dispatch.
me clerk Of the Era, Mr.. Tom Clements, is a
pleasing, agreeable gentleman and efficient
officer, IN every way tit assistant of the uni
sersally popular Capt. Joe.
From the Assumption Chronicle we copy
the following compim entary article, which
We cordially indorse:
ave had the pleasure of greeting those vet
aran steamboatmen, Capt Joe DAlferes and
MS brother Frank, on Saturday last. They
have placed in the Lafourche trade the ele
CANT freight and passenger steamer Era No.
10. Certainly no gentlemen are more deserv-
ing Of q liberal patronage than they. They
have made steamboating specially from boy
hood up, and always possessed the confidence
and esteem of this community for their uni
Zorm courtesy honesty and.strlct attention to
the minute details of business.
1--WE can say without the least deviation
from the truth, that during their long career
IN this line, no one who has ever dealt with
chem upon the various St amboats they have
commanded can with justice complain of the
slightest act of inattention or Intentional
negligence at the hands Of these gentlemen.
But as they are so we'll known here it is super
iuous to say anything further in their behalf,
save that they have innumerable claims upon
She patronage OF our people. Capt Clements
is the first clerk on the Era, and is a clever
and generous gentleman. The portly and
iaaudsome Pete Alleman turns the wheel. We
wish you complete success, gentlemen.
