LOUISVILLE. Sept. 10 louisville head OF the
falls, twenty five years ago. was an important
commercial and boat building city. In lact.
more fine steamers were built around n ths
falls than at any other location. but not quite
as many as were reported the other day to our
general council by di7interested cilizens On the
Point" They ass rted. and 1t has no. yet
been denied, that 'fffy two steamers we're built
at Louisville sh pyssrds from june. 1874 to Oeto-

been enough for .he purpose. Sutjoined is 81
full list of the bodybuilding around the falls,
