The attempt was made, was a little out of the channel. Any way we stuck hard and fast. The spars were set, more freight trans- ferred to the lighters, and every other means resorted to, to get her joff, but the river kept falling, and there we stuck for more than two days. In the afternoon of the sec- ond day the writer was sitting on the nosing of the lower deck, pulling out |blue catfish from eight to twelve | inches long, about as fast as he could |drop his hook in the water, when Capt. Strong, who at the time was at the pilot wheel, yelled through the engineer, that he thought if he would get up a little more steam that she would get off. Lucius replied that she has 200 now, ana if you want any more, you can come down and give it to her yourself. It will be remembered that the V. K. was not the first steamboat ever named in honor of the president of the N. & C. railroad many years before that time, and there was a legond that her boilers had done duty on some other craft previous to the time they were placed on her. Be that asit may, the writer desisted from his angling and looked at the gauge. Sure enough the needle pointed to the 200 mark, and the old bulk trimbled like an aspen as she labored under the pressure, The writer pulled off his shoes, rolled up his pants as high as possi- ble,bid Lucius good-bye, slided over the side of the guards and waded ashore where he remained until she was floated again. He had been on boats in most all kinds of aocidents except explosions and did not want torun any risks. Capt.

NOTES. ‘The river is rising rapidly at this point. ‘The gauge showed this morning at 7 o'clock 10:1 and rising. The Dick Fowler was the lower Ohio local this morning. The City of Ciarkeville was away for Elizabethtown today at noon. The river is coming up the bank at the rate of about an inch an hour. — The City of Paducah is due from St. Louis enroute up the Tennessee river. ‘The Clyde is due here out of the Tennessee river tonight or carly to- morrow morning. The John Hopkins was the Evansville mail packet leaving here this morning at 10 o'clock, The towboat Maggie Belle took two barges loaded with stave timber to Smithland yesterday afternoon. The Ashland is due here fron Danville this afternoon and leaves on her return trip tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. The towboat, R. A. Speed, arrived here from Brooklyn, where she has been for several days unloading ties and pumping her tie bots. There is over at Brooklyn at the least calculation 50,000 ties in barges, waiting to be unloaded, but can’t on account of the scarcity of cars. Very little river traffic was trans- acted on the levee and wharves this morning and business in the way of arrivals and departures were very slim. Capt. Ad Graham says he does not expect to pull the Ferd Herold out on the ways this week, and in fact didn’t know which of the Leyhe’s steamers he would pull out firet. The big bar has been greatly re- duced in size since yesterday by the! First street and the wharf boats is | considerably shorter than a few days | ago. | The persimmon wood that was put on the levee by the Bostonia several days ago was reached by the rising river last night and several men were! at work this morning recovering it. Capt. Rouse received this morning since the war makes train service in the 20th issue of master’s license and they are of the latest issue which are these times far lighter on those en- gaged in that department of railroads than what the old time boys had to undergo in the days of ‘Hayburoe ers’? and hand brakes. But for all that there is more discontent and hard kicking now at the least thing that is irregular than was ever dreamed of in those days. Then it was no uncommon thing for the crew to have to shovel sand from off the track in some cut for a quarter of a iile or more, bail water from a branch three or four times on a trip, cut wood for the engine and in all prob- ability assist in getting the train on the track a half dozen times in one trip, caused by the old rotten ties letting the track spreal. Very often being on duty two ar three days without intermission, Yet it was rarely the case to hear complaints. Now however Mr. Brakey registers one loud and long if he has to set a brake, depending on the air cars for that act If the engine bap- pens to ruv short of fuel and they have to throw a few shovels of coal from a ‘gon’? | standing on a convenient sidetrack, they set up a howl that would dis- turb the slumbers of the Egyptian mummies, even if they have endured for the last three thousand years. For ail the improvements that bave been made in the mechauical depart. mentand the multiplicity pf rules and instructions governing the running of trains that have been devised and introduced there is not much differs ence in the time made then aud now, The old ‘‘hayburners’’ could ‘get then when put to it as easily as the coal eaters of today, and like the old time steamboats made runs that the horns are still waiting for the clipper to take which beats them, Chief Hall, of Paducah, says the Murray “Ledger,’’ has committed the grievous sin of being found out, so off goes his offjcial head. 1 fire at Maytield yesterday at $10, 000; another said @2,500 and an- other $3,500. The Sun and the Mayfield papers did not estimate the loss for it was unknown, ‘This is something like a personal that started the rounds in local newspapers sometime since.

The river is coming right up the bank, so to speak, and from 6 p. m. yesterday to the same time this morn- ing the Ohio river crawled ten tenths up the iron rail that serves as the of- fivial gauge at the foot of Broadway and this morning the water had reached over the ten foot mark and showed fine indications for going higher. ‘The machinery of the abandoned tug Corinne No.1,has been recovered out of the wreck by Henry Petter,the of his store on a vacant lot. This is the first case on record where a steamer was completely deserted and no ene would claim her, owing to the fact that her debts were more than the tug was valued at. The towboat R.A. Speed took several gentlemen to Brooklyn this morning to inspect the tie trafic at that place. Tie men are in hopes that they will communicate with the Illinois Central Rail Road to put in an incline at Metropolis so that ties can be unloaded at that place as well as at Brooklyn, and if this were to be done it would be a great advan- taye to steamboat men, as there is always more or less trouble at getting ties unloaded at Brooklyn.
