The rain poured dewn necessarily all
Monday night, all day yesterday, and with
no good prospect of quitting last night.
Our cutters are filed to overfowing, and in
some parts of Lamasco the houses are al
most filled. One house in particular on
Clark street had some two feet water ON the
first floor. The weather at Cincinnati was
damp On Saturday, with indications of rain,
80 we may presume the rain has been quite
general above, and must be productive of
high water. The fog last night was almost
thick enough to be cut with knife, and
most boats were certainly compelled to lay
up uutil it cleared away. The river, yes
terday, was about at a stand. 1t was re-
eeding from Pittsburg to Cincinnati on
Saturday, but late on Saturday evening
another rise was expected at the former
place.
Business was dull at the landing. The
only freight put off of any consequence was
from the S6rchet, whose manifest for this
port was as follows: I. A. Crane IA casks
sailed beef, bbls. do, 2l3 bbls. -four
Messrs. Park & Kivett, 1000 sacks wheat;
p. G. O'Riley & Co, 945 bbls. -four, l65
bags wheat, bbls. apples 2 sacks feathers,
6 sacks rags, and 81 beef hides; Babeock
Bros, 16 kegs lard, and 6 bbls. mess pork
John Bartlett As coops chickens, and coops
turkeys.
The Sarchet WAS advertised to leave yes
terday, but having been delayed in getting
here, she was forced to put off leaving until
to-day. She will leave for the Wabash to-
day, positively. Shippers should bear the
Kate in mind.
The Greenville did not get off yesterday
She will leave, probably, to-day.
The regular and swift packet Silver Star,
Capt. Gus. Fowler, with Mr. Dusouchet in
the Office, will leave to-day at o'clock, for
Padueah and intermediate landings. The
Star is one of our regular packets, in which
our citizent 50 justly take pride and all
freight going South will be promptly on
hand before the hour of leaving
Our crack little boat, the Charley Bowen
cut quite a swell yesterday afternoon, on
the eve of her departure for Cairo. Just as
she started out, the Southerner, for Louis
ville put out, also, the Bowen little bit in
advance. They run up a short distance,
when the Bowen run completely around the
Southerner, blowing her whistle in exuita-
ton, and went down again past our city
with flying colors, much to the admiration
of crowd who gathered on the landing in
spite of the rain.
