River News.
The marks last evening indicated II feet
8 inches and falling.
There,were special movements yester-
day and business wasonly moderately &C
tive.
The Andes left for Cincinnati Yesterday
with good trip out.
The Joseph Nixon passed down yester.
day morning at $50 o'clock with tow OF
model barges, all heavily laden with mis-.
cellaneous freight for the Southern mar.
kets.
The Emma Graham Is due down to-
morrow night en- route TO Cincinnati.
The Buckeye State Is due up tomorrow
morning en- route from Cincinnati to
Pittsburgh.
The Joseph Gould passed down yester-
day with large tow OF coal boats.
The Bachelor will be tomorrow morn
ings Pittsburgh packet, leaving at Z
o'clock.
The Courier is to.day's packet, leaving
at 1880 AN.
The Telegram, Phaeton, o'Neal and FL.
lison are making their trips as usual.
As an erroneous impression has gone
out in regard TO the collision OF the Cher.
okee and st. Lawrence, some rumors STA
ting that the st. Lawrence would not be
here to leave on her regular day, we will
state for the benefit OF the travelling and
shipping public, that telegram was re,
ceived yesterday from Capt. Billy List
stating that the st. Lawrence would be
here to leave on time Saturday.
The Vicksburg Commercial, OF Friday.
says: Captain Campbell, Of the R. E
Lee, says that he thinks there is no proba
bility OF the steamboat race that SO much
has been said about Of late. He says ht
does not see any money in II, and that tht
Lee will not rum"
The Cincinnati Of Ga.ete yesterda,
says: The St. Lawrence will be found in
port this morning. She and the Cherokee
collided near st. Marys Sunday morning
and the St. Lawrence was somewhat in
jured, but she will leave for Wheeling a
usual this evening, taking passengers ant
freight for Pittsburgh and way points
, Her officers say that she had about thirt,
: outriggers broken, and suffered Sigh
!. damage to her boiler deck. She will re
pair under way, and by the time sh,
reaches Wheeling there will be no sigl
8 OF the accident visible. Her hull is un
hurt. Materials for complete repair viii
be ready for her by the time she reaches
Murrayville. Capt. List feels that such
steamer as the st. Lawrence could not b,
spared from the Upper Ohio, even for
single trip; and, like Napoleon Bonaparte
he will lose no time.

A Good Horse.

"Wind," says an old horseman, lis the
grand secret of q good horse" Good
lungs will cover q multitude of faults,
while, on the other hand, perfection of
shape and form are useless when the
wind is out. The chest, therefore, in
all cases, should be large and capacious.
It may vary somewhat in shape, accord
ing to the service to which the horse is
put. If he is apt to be kept for slow
work and heavy drawing the chest may
be nearly circular in form, because this
shape is one for strength and bulk to
receive and bear up against the pressure
of the collar, while, at the same time,
sufficient room is secured for the ex-
pansion of the lungs caused by slow,
regular work. But, if the chest is cir
cular, let it be at the same time deep,
or else the lungs may be cramped. A
horse with a shallow chest is worthless
for any purpose. The rule then is, for
draught horse, circular, but deep
chest; but, as you pass through the diff
ferent degrees of speed up to the racer
and trotter, the chest will increase in
depth, compared to it's roundness, un-
til, for the highest rate of speed, you
must take q chest as deep as grey
hound, and, at the same time, not lack
ing in strength.

FoR WEAK EYEs.-A simple remedy

FoR WEAK EYES. "A simple remedy
for week or core eyes is recommended,
as follows: Get 5-cent cake of elder
flowers at the druggists, and steep in
one gill of soft water. It must be
stepped in bright tin or earthenware !:
strain nicely, and then add three drops
OF laudanum; bottle it tight, and keep
IN a cool place; then use it as a wash,
letting some of it get in the eyes. Fol
low this, and relief is certain. If the
eyes are painful or much sore. make
small soft congresses, wet in the MKT
nre, and bind over the eyes at night.
# the eyes are badly inlamed, use it
very freely; and tea made of elder
flowers, and drunk, will help cleanse
the blood. Pure rock salt and water
will strengthen your weak eyes if you
battle them in it. would earnestly
advise you to avoid mixtures or
washes containing mineral or, other
poisons.

They Wouldn't Fight That Way.

I notice that Judge John Rice has
been figuring in the papers of late, and
am reminded OF story current con-
corning him and the late war. He was
very violent Secessionist, and, in a
speech urging secession, said: aWhy,
- the Yankees! If they show fight
we can whip them with popguns!" The
Yankees did show fight, and with what
result is well known. A short time
after the war Judge Rice was making a
speech at the same crossroads where he
had made his boasting speech before
the war. One of the audience asked
him if he was not the same Judge Rice
that spoke there in 1850. II am" he re-
piled. SWELL, didn't you say that we
could whip the Yankees with popguns 9n
Il did, and we could have done It but,
'em, they wouldn't fight us in that
way p Cincinnati Enquirer.

A True Fable,

Awolf, who was known among his
friends as sagacious, swift, sly, and en-.
during, and who seldom went to bed
hungry, one day met q woodchopper's
son in the forest. Hostilities between
boys and wolves had been suspended
for short time on account of camp
meeting in that neighborhood, and the
wolf and the boy therefore sat down on
log to discuss the weather and draw
each other out on the transformation
theory.
The wolf never had fair chance to
look boy over. His rule had been to
eat them first and look them over
afterward. he now observed chat his
companion was twice as handsome as
he was, and the fact ranked in his
jealous mind. He forgot that he had
been differently graded by nature in the
beginning, and he began casting about
to see how he could get even. He
finally made up his mind that it was the
boys red coat which made all the diff
ference, SO he carelessly observed:
II don't suppose you'd like to part
with that old patched coat of yours,
would you?"
| The boy was up to string games and
balloon ascensions, and SO closed with
an offer to lend the wolf his coat for a
week if the latter would guide him to a
den where three young foxes could be
secured.
As eoon as the wolf secured the coat
he wrapped it around him and declared
the truce between the wolves and the
boys at an end. That had been his
little game from the start. Sounding
his war-howl, the wolf summoned his
friends to help make bologna of poor
Tom, but as the eager brutes came up
they went for the red coat and the boy
went for tree.
No wolf has any business wearing a
boys oatfit, even if it would add to his
beauty, and this one was soon clawed
into bag-strings and his bones hung on
jack-pine for the wind to fool with.
Looking down from his perch in the
tree, the boy remarked:
"In the first place, don't try to play q
swine game. In the second place, don't
go on the principle that everybody else
is a fool"
Preserves won't last without sugar,
and your neighbor has just as much
right to keep chickens as you have to
keep dog.-Detr0it Free Press.

BlunderS.

Few attributes of character are more
charming than the faculty OF gracefully
acknowledging ones errors. The man
who makes a blunder and sticks to it
is person with whom argument or
controversy becomes impossible. The
trouble and time spent in attempting
to convince him of the truth are COM
pletely wasted for he will still believe
that what he has advanced must DO
right, even in the face of actual de-
monstration that it is wrong. On the
other hand, of the action Of one who
will admit with frank and ready cour-
tesy that he has been mistaken, it may
be said that it blesseth him that gives
and him that takes lit covers his own
retreat with gracefulness, and gives his
