at such a rapid rate that it has been
the number of inches, or even feet that
it has risen the past week. SufRce it
to say, however, that 1t is booming,
and now stands about II feet above low
water mark. The arrivals for the week,
were quite numerous and the river
front has presented an attractive as
we'll as an animated appearance. W:f
The John H. Hanna, from New Or
leans, arrived at O'Clock Sunday
night, and left on her return Tuesday
at 81 o'clock p. m. Our merchants gave
Ter $50 bales cotton.
If you are going down the river, you
will find the Fred. A. Blanks here to-
morrow evening to take you.
The John Howard for Camden passed
up Wednesday morning. We look for
her down tomorrow OF Sunday.
The Hanna leaves New Orleans to-
morrow evening. She will pass Mon
roe Tuesday ON her way to Camden.
The Corona passed up Wednesday
night. She'll be down about Sunday.
To-day? Yes, to-day, those who arc
to witness the arrival of the monarch
of the Ouachita, the Fred. A. Blanks.
1t has been a long time since tho people
of the Ouachita Valley have had the
satisfaction of seeing such q boat as
the Blanks is represented to be, and
we hope that she will be well received
here. We call the attention of our
readers to her advertisement to be
found in another column. Capt. Jack
is known everywhere as is also her
clever clerk, Capt. Joe Holmes. Look
out for her to-day.
The Corona and Little Bob B., both
with full loads, passed down together
Thursday evening, but too late to be
noticed in our last weeks report. The
Bob goes on dock at New Orleans for
some necessary repairs. @
The John Wilson, from below, ar
rived shortly after the departure Of the
above named boats bound for Camden.
She had good load. She passed down
Tuesday at p. m. with nearly full
ioad-about 600 bales.
The VIM. Pagan came down Sunday
from Camden, with about 1000 bales,
which she discharged at Trenton, and
proceeded up the Bartholomew. She
was due down yesterday, but had not
arrived up to the time of closing this
report.
The Clara s. passed up for the Bar
tholomew Tuesday. She seemed to be
in big hurry, stopping only short
while here, and tslit out'' like a
t'greased streak of lightning" Down
today or tomorrow.
The Willie left Monday evening for
Bayou Bartholomew. - t...4.
The Gen. Chas. Fl. Thompkins, the
cotton seed boat of which we made
mention last week, came down last
Friday evening. She purchased Of Mr..
N. p. Cook, of the Elevator, about
4 900 sacks cotton seed. She left Sat-
urday at p. m. Capt. Fie Lee, well
known as having brought the Alex.
Kendall up here about 16 months ago,
was in command. The Captain ex.
presses himself as delighted with Mon
roe, and says the town has grown SO
much that he began to look for the
numbers on the houses. He failed to
find them, however.
The Katie p. Kountz, from appear
ances a near relation of the Thomp.
kins, arrived early Sunday night, and
left for Camden Monday morning.
The New Orleans Times will please
note that wholly and solely she be-
longs to st. Louis, and is in search of
trade.
