O'Clock Friday, considerably ahead OF
her usual time, and left for New Or.
leans at midnight of the same day
with a fair trip of cotton. The City Of
Augusta, following closely in the wake
of the Hanna, arrived about 6 O'Clock
Friday morning, and passed down
about p. IN. with very poor start.
She had large lot Of freight, though,
for this place coming up. The Bastrop
also passed down Friday with nearly a
full load. We inadvertently failed to
note her arrival on her up trip last
week.
The next arrivals in order are the
John Howard and John Wilson, tho
former down ut 6 a. IN. and the latter
up at 8 a. IN. Sunday. The Wilson
was nearly "a hours behind time, she
having laid up two nights on account
OF fog.
The Bertha Drummer came down
carly Monday and discharged 30 bales
of cotton; received some freight and
left for Trenton shortly before noon,
and left the latter place late in the
evening for Famervillc.
The Willie came down Monday
evening and added somewhat to her
cargo. She left for Bayou Barthole-
NEW Tuesday morning with splendid
freight.
The John Wilson passed down about
8 O'Clock Wednesday night with only
three tiers cotton. She failed to get
any higher than Newport on account
of low water. Capt. Holmes reports
every thing very dull above, and the
river falling rapidly.
The Corona came up Wednesday
night and as she can get no higher
than the Wilson, it is probable that
she will pass down tomorrow.
The John II. Hanna will be up this
and leaves this evening for
Now Orleans. II you are going down
the river interview Ben Cornwell. He'll
give you comfortable apartments.
The City of Augusta did not leave
New Orleans On Tuesday as advertised
and it is probable that she will not be
seen up this way anymore. We will
no doubt have the opportunity of
writing her obituary next week. "In-
boats do not seem to fare

you have no business in our city, come

DIED, on Thursday, Feb. 9th, at
Monroe, La, BRYCE RILLs, aged %
years, 3 months and Is days; son of J.
III. Rills and Laura Delery, of this
parish.
He was an estimable young man and
he leaves a large number of friends and
relatives to mourn his death. Stricken
with that insidious disease, consump-
ton, he visited Colorado last year with
the hope that the fine climate of the
country would give him relief, but
alas! in the prime of his young life he
has been called away and the void in
the family circle that idolized him cam
not be filed. We sympathize with the
bereaved family in their hour of sor
row.-Ibercille South.

Railroad rrouble a. Corvallis.

In the last issue Of the Benton County
Blade we notice President Koehler's PROPOSE
tiOn to the city of Corvallis. He has chosen
. very nice location for the depot grounds,
and he wants the people to danote them and
get them right of way through the city, and
pay all damages which would result from
running therOad through some valuable prop
erty. This would involve an outlay OF per-
haps $4,000 or $4,000 by the citizens,
which they are not inclined to make. A
public meeting was held last Saturday even
ing, and committee was appointed to can
vass the city to ascertain how much money
could be raised, but We have not heard what
success they are meeting with. II Koehler's
request is not granted he says he viii locate
the depot buildings out of town, which
would be a great disadvantage There is
only one way for the Corvallis people to do,
and that is to 90 right down in their pockets
and raise the money. When the road was
being built over on this side Of the river
Albany had to put up $4,000. There vas
terrible lot of growing. but the money
was raised and the depot located inside our
city limits. At the same time Salem failed
to raise her assessment" and now the peo.
pie of that place when they go away any
where (which they seldom do) have to walk
themselves up to fever heat, or else pay
so cents for a cab. Our advice to the peo-
pie at Corvallis is to raise the money asked
of them and then get even by taxing the
road.

with him his entire family, five in number.
Near the farm of Mr.. Owens there is bridge
across deep ravine, which is built by hav.
ing two stringers placed ten feet apart and
having l6-foot boards placed upon them
without. spiking. and no railing on the sides.
When Mr. Sheriff. drove upon this bridge a
short plank sprang up suddenly and scared
the horses, causing them to so so close 70

at the opposite end and slipped into the IA

is about fifteen feet deep, and the result was
fearful One daughter, about fifteen years
old, was killed instantly, and another was
hurt so badly that she is not expected to re-

were more or less bruised, some of them very
badly, but not seriously. Mr.. Owens, who

accident and went down and rendered time
