"THE BELLE OF SHREVEPORT. - This large
sternwheeler is almost high and dry at Horsetal,
miles below the centeriline of the city, and in
hazardous condiIione No steamer can get near
her to get her cargo off but it is supposed that
; expected up from her last night, may have made
an arrangement with Capt. Rea to, have it re-
moved by flats and barges which are now there
for that purpose. When the last arrivals passed
heS yesterday afternoon, all her hog. chains but
the main one were broken snd the stern was
down considerably. Numbers Of bags filed with
| sand were being showed under the stern to prop
it up and prevent her from breaking 10 two. A
barge and a fiatboat were lying close to here and
; there was some of her freight on'the barges. If
the boat can be kept straight she would be,
safe, and wait for rise in the river but the great
difficulty is to keep her stern up. The Belle of
shreveport was built at Metropolis, ILL.,, and
finished at st. Louis October, 1872. Her length
was 200 feet, but in June, 1874 she was l-ngth-
ened SO feet; breadth 43 feet. Her capacity is
1900 tons; cylinders 6-foot STROKE Is inches dia-
meter. She was valued for insurance purposes
last August at SIS, 000."

The Cairo correspondent Of che Commercial
says: I
least, that the rivers have been so high at this
season Of the year, and consequently the first |
time that inland waters became skating rinks
and it may never occur again. The seasons have
changed round so lately, however, that one can
not tell what to look for notice that some farm
ers are advising their friends to plant crops at
the earliest moment this spring, as they antici-
pate a hot, dry summer and fall, and claim that |
unless crops are well matured before the dry
season sets in, it will be disastrous to them. If
the ground hog sign counts for anything, we are |
to have six weeks more winter and q late spring, |
and should a dry summer follow it would puzzle |
farmers to make crop. But when Prof. Tice !
fails, it is unwise to make predictions. Take it |
ali in all, suppose we will have about as much |
weather this coming year as heretofore"
The time for which she was chartered having |
expired, Capt. O'Pry has withdrawn the Geo. |
Spangler from the Lower Coast trade and turned |
her over to Capt. Viii Jams, her owner. Capt. |
Williams says the Spangler is open to an offer, |
either for sale or charter, and as she is first |
rate steamboat, we hardly think she will remain |
idle long. Capt. OPry will resume the command |
of the Oriole, and the scenes that once knew him |
so well VIII know him again.
The Iberia, in place of the Lessie Taylor, Allen
Jumel master, Charles Brusle clerk, is due to-
