River Reporter n. O. Bulletin.
March came in like lion, bat we protest
against such strong, belligerent open
ing. 1t may be fun for the wind to sport
around cotton bales, amongst the guys Of the
steamboat chimneys, blow hats overheard and
Ill the clothes, eyes and lungs Of pedestrians
with fine particles Of dust but We can't see it
In that light. The heavens are overcast as we
close this report and It's possible that
Jupiter Pluvius will get the best Of rude
Boreas, ere another sun bursts upon us
darkly through the clouds.
we are opposed to the compromise, but
would be willing to go into one which would
eject Tor the present an entire change OF
front, say for instance, one which would
bring Broad street to the river front and put
Delta street where Broad is now; this would
De about as soft a thing for our steamboat and
draymen as the Wheeler COMPROMISE is for
Packard, Kellogg & Co.
AS we close our report the heavens are
weeping and had been for several hours
Dust thou were, but to mud thou hast re-
turned, will be the cry to-day if Old Pluvius
keeps on.
We refer our readers to an advertisement in
another column, wherein is offered at private
sale bran new, light draught amtr-the

fore, and can assure any one DESTROYS of pur-
chasing suitable boat for any Of the streams
tributary to Red, Ouachita or A.chafaaya
rivers, that she is just the one they want.
Yesterday being the first of the week and
likewise OF the month, the lack Of business On
the river front astonished no one; it will be
better to-day we hope
