A HEAVY RISE Cox1Ne.-Accordng to last &C
counts heavy rains and much snow had fallen in the
upper country At ST. Paul, on the 18th, snow te
the depth of three feet was on the ground Thu
river had risen five feet at that place, and rise o.
ten feet was reported in the Minnesota river. A
general food is anticipated.
ACCIDENT AT THE BRIDaE.-We learn from the
Davenport Gazette that the steamer Aunt Lefty
Capt. Morrison, struck pier of the Rock Island
bridge while going through the draw Sunday
afternoon, Goth which stove in about forty feet
of her hull. She was by strenuous efforts run to
the Davenport shore, where she partially sunk
Her stern lies about three feet under water. Hell
cargo consisted of barrelled pork, grain, horses,
wagons, &c. The grain was the only portion which
suffered injury. Total loss about 49, 600.
EXPRESS L1NE.-This is the name Of line
of steamers which we have already noticed as hav-
ing been secured by citizens of Galena and Dubuque
to run in the trade between st. Louis and st. Paul
in opposition to the Northern Line Two boats OF
this line-the War Eagle and City Belle-have
already made their appearance. They are first

past advertised certain popular remedies for vari-
Gus diseases invent ed and patented by DR.. Herrck
of Albany. Among them Herrick's unequalled
pills and Strengthening pasters. We are not in

remedies. BE is a thorough physician of long ex-

in their perfection and preparation, and the testi-

efficacy is abundant proof that they are worthy of
all confidence. DR.. Herrick, although generous

one who knows him personally but holds him in
great esteem, and his friends legion in name
and number. We are glad to know that his medi-
cines are universally used and recommended, even
by the best physicians of he day. Long may he
