The river is still falling at this point.
River items, "ike hens teeth, are hard
to find.
We under that Capt. Ambrose, Of the
Hilman, will leave with his steamer for
Hickman about the first Of next week.
According to announcement, the Golden
Crown passed down Monday night for New
Orleans. She had good supply Of freight
The James Howard left for the Crescent
city last night. Her freight consisted
chiefly OF grain. She is one of tho finest
steamers that runs the western waters.
The fog on the Ohio river, Monday last,
was so dense that the Gus Fowler did not
get away until yesterday morning, and in
consequence of which fact she was late
last evening.
All pcrsous desiring to be informed Of
the departures of the Anchor line steamers
should notice our river columns closely, for
We visit Capt. Shields, daily who is the
agent at this point,
The Virgie Lee, from Memphis on hcI
way to Cincinnati, passed up last night
Capt. Ticheuor in charge. 1t has just been
a week and one day since she left this point
for the former city.
We are happy to state that Capt. Silver
Of the Annie =. Silver, is resting easy and
will be able to save his finger. The cap.
tain is clever gentleman and We wish him
better success IN the future.
But few boats are running, owing mostly,
we presume, OF danger apprehended from
the floating ice above. Now this is some
thing strange 10 Us, that the Virgie Lee
and other Cincinnati boats are able to make
their regular trips, and our Evansville and
Cairo packets have only made but two
trips this year. VIII some one rise and eX
plain.

answer to the question would depend on
the breed, which our correspondent does
not designate, and it would also depend
upon how much room he has. If he has
room enough we do not see why limit
should be fixed, especially of Merinoes
and we do not know that it would be
necessary in regard to other breeds.
There is prevalent idea that Cotswold
do not do we'll IN large flocks and we are
not able from personal observation or
experience to say whether they will or
not 1t is said, however, that in the old
country they are kept in flocks to the
number of even 800 and from all we have
read on the subject, we should think
that there would be no difficulty in
maintaining large hocks, if there were
room enough. There are some obvious
reasons why smaller flocks are better
than large ones, but it is not impossible
to keep large ones, and it is practicable.
The Merinoes will herd to any number

Ashamed of Work.

Ashamed of work, boys p-good, hard,
honest work Then / am ashamed of
you-ashamed that you know so little
about great men.
Open your Roman history and read of
Clncinnatus. On the day when they
wanted to make him dictator, where did
they find himY In the field blowing.
What about Mercus GURUS, who drove
Pyrrhus out of Italy? Look him up
and you will find him busy on his little
farm.
The great Cato; you have surely heard
of him--how he rose to all the honors of
the Roman State-yet he was often seen
at work in his field with the slaves
Scipio Africanus who conquered Hanni-
bal and won Carthage for Rome, was not
ashamed to labor on his farm.
Lucretia, one of the noblest of Roman
matrons, might have been seen many
day spinning among her maidens.
Better even than the example of noble
Romans is the advice of the wise man;
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do
it with thy might" Better than this,
even, are the beautiful New Testament
words: ''Not slothful in business, fer
vent in spirit, serving the Lord,'
There after this you will feel ashamed
not to work. Visitor.
