The performance of the operetta
"Penelope'' will assuredly take place
next Friday evening, the 1sth,. at
the Academy. Many difficulties have
arisen to prevent its earlier production.
The ST. Francis Belle s:the star of
Trenton' left our wharf for Camden
Wednesday morning to make the trip
there, and unload in twcnty-four
hours. Rebuilt from stem to stern be-
fore our daily view, there is an itnpor-
taucc rs we'll as an interest attached to
her very much as the Bulletin init
mates. Her captain stands ready to
say what she can do in 4 race with
any boat of her size in this river, and
by her friends.
The ID. Stein arrived Wednesday
with a light trip from Saline river.
The colorcd cook of the Ollie b.,
Jean Broadnax, was the only person
fatally injured during the burning of
that craft in Bayou Bartholomew.
His death seems to have been from the
severe chilling he received while
making his escape from the boat al.
though a fire was made to thaw him
by, he never reacted and died from
the effects of intense cold.
We understand regatta is in an
ticipation by some of the gentlemen of
Monroe. We cannot see why such
sport so heafthfui, inspiring and attrac-
tive should fail to elicit much cnthu-
siasm. We anticipate an early realiza-
ton of what we now expect in this
PARTICULAR amusement.
| With ALI Difference as to suggestions,
we would ask our sister city, Monroe
if a military company would not have
Il tendency to enliven the place. You
have some of the best material foI
forming such company.
The Willie left yesterday with 4
splendid trip for Bayou D'Arbonne.

River News

The river since our last has been al
ternately rising and falling. 1t is fall
ing slowly now, and stands about %
feet.
Business has been exceedingly brisk
on the levee, and the upper landing
presented an animated appearance
similar to that OF our southern metro
polls New Orleans, only not on such
grand scale.
The st. Francis Belle has had all
repairs completed; is in tip-top order,
and is now running in tho Camden
trade in connection With the Laura
Lee and Blanks. Her many admirers
in Trenton boast quite freely about
her speed, and imagine that she can
wallop the dashing Rosa B., but the
ssB." boys are equally as confident
that the Rosa can walk away from the
Belle. Open your Golfers, gentlemen,
and don't chin us SO much.
The Ollie b. of the Rabun b. Line,
burned Monday night opposite Alex.
ander's Landing on Bayou Barthole-
NEW, together with oyer $50 bales cot

her cotton was. consequently the loss
falls to Capt. T. c. Butler her owner
and commander, who has the SYM
pathies of the entire community.
Captains Butler and Dellahousaye We're
exchanging kilograms with parties in
New Orleans, Wednesday, for the
charter OF another boat to replace the

obtaining one.

The monarch Fred A. Blanks arriv-

There's an inkslinger ON the Blanks

for? Well, just wait little bit.
The Steamers r.. II. Durfee aud
Fannie Tatum, from st. Louis, arriv-
ed Thursday night with immense
casgoes of freight, a considerable por-
ton of which was discharged at our
landing; but when they left, the'breach
in the pile was hardly perceptible, and
to casual observer they had about as
much as they came with when they
left for above, notwithstanding that
each was over 20 hours discharging

The Rosa Il. from the Bartholomew,
