THE RIVER.

The steamer G. X. Peck met tie steamer
Black Hills at St. Johns woodward about
coon yesterday.
The steamer @. x. Peck, VIM. Simms,
master, and James 3. Keenan,, clerk, ar
rived at half past twelve O'Clock to-day,
from Cheyenne agency, making the round
trip in four days and two hours, running
time. She left Cheyenne agency at half
past four o'clock yesterday morning. This
is remarkably quick trip. and the Peck is
fully entitled ta a place among our fastest
boats. She brought down 1856 passengers,
46 in the cabin, 80 horses and oxen and 243
packages of miscellaneous freight. Most
of her passengers were returning Black
Killers.
Sioux City Journal July 31st The Fam
ME Tatum, Capt. James Clark, arrived here
yesterday morning from above, on her way
to st. Louis. When attempting to get away
from the bank to proceed on her way, she
was blown against the new landing being
col structed for the Undine, knocking over
some of the piling, and allowing some of the
brush to escape. She had no load whatever
to sink her hull in the water, SO she flew
around on the top of the stream like a bub-
BILE, almost unmanageable in the brisk breeze
that was blowing. The boat was finally got
away from the landing, but was compelled
to tie up near the mouth of the Floyd, from
which she got away about 5 o'clock.
Deputy Sheriff Dan Mcdonald went down
and presented a bill for the ferry company
for $50 as the amount of damage lone &c

A Starch Story.

The London dandy who invented
starch had limited idea of the great
industry he was founding. 1t is believed
that nearly 100000 bushels of patatoes
are frequently consumed per year in the
States of Maine, New Hampshire, Ver-
mont and New York in the production
of potato starch. The amount is three
eighths as large as the potato crop of
Maine, three-fourths as large as that of
New Hampshire, three-fifths as large as
that of Vermont, one-tenth as large as
that of New York State, of about the
same magnitude as that of Massachu-
setts, and much larger than the crops of
Connecticut or Rhode Island.
There are about 90 factories engaged
in the manufacture of potato starch, and
probably all of them, with one or two
exceptions, are located in the States of
New York, Maine, New Hampshire and
Vermont. The average price paid for
potatoes by starch manufacturers dur
ing the past season has been so cents per
bushel. The aggregate annual produc-
ton of all the factories is usually from
5000 to II 900 tons. A bushel of pota-
toes generally make eight pounds of
starch, $50 bushels, therefore, being re-
quired for ton. AS the average mar
ket quotation for potato starch is about
scents per pound,it follows that BUSH
ell of potatoes brings only about 40 cents
after being converted into starch, and
the value of the total production of po-
tato starch in the country is from $780,
600 to 81 100000 per annum.
