so oppressive as it was during the most of
last week.
1.-THE RiUer opposite this point is now
nearly stationary, having fallen but very
little since yesterday morning. Advices
from above lead US to expect another rise.
At Pittsburg on Monday evening there
were % inches in the channel and there had
been heavy rains, in consequence of which
tue river had commenced swelling At
Cincinnati the river had risen between three
and four feet owing principally to the flood
out of ing and little Miami rivers At
latest accounts, however, it had commenced
receding again. At Louisville also the
river is rising. At latest accounts it had risen
about 20 inches. There were then Al feet
of water in the Canal.
1.-The Few, fleet and beautiful passen-
ger packet, L. c. Ferry, is due from Louis
vile this evening, and returns at o'clock
P. NJ. Her passenger accommodations are
not surpassed by even the largest steamers
on the river, while her officers are at once
gentlemen of engaging manners, experience
and ability. We are truly glad Of having
such a boat in the trade.
1.-The Dunbar leaves for Paducah to-
day at II o'clock. She offers the only re-
liable opportunity for those having freight
West. She is in charge of able and expe-
riencei officers, and her appointments as
passenger boat are unsurpassed.
The Lue Eaves having undergone
general scrubbing up and painting, leaves
for Bowling Green this evening. AS she is
much the lightest boat on the river we
have no doubt she will be able to reach that
point without difficulty.
1.-The Charley Boaoen was in yester-
day, and departed again with fair trip of
freights and passengers. We are indebted
to Capt. Dexter for the following item with
reference to the recent storm
The storm on Sunday evening was, with
the exception of the tornado at Natchez in
1910, the hardest | ever experienced. The
squall drove the Charley Bo1cen hard
aground at the foot of the Grand Chain,
causing her to ship considerable water A
large tree opposite where we were, was
hurled to the ground by the force of the
wind. AT Mound City and at Cairo the
gale was terrific and did a great deal of
damage to buildings. The tin roof of the
large business block at Mound City was
blown of, and at Cairo the new stone de-
pot was unroofed. The storm lasted about
half an hour, and was accompanied by rain
and hail"
The Boa0ea was obliged to obtain the as
sistance of the Tom Scott to tighten her off
the bar, but sustained no serious injury from
the gale.
1.-The concert steamer Banjo, arrived
yesterday afternoon, gayly decorated with
flags, her wild calliope making the air ring
with the most unearthly music.
1.-The Diamond, on her arrival at Gin
cinnati from st. Louis, Saturday, was at
tached by the U. S. Marshal, for 50, 900, at
the instigation of the principal owner Mr.
John Hazlett. She will doubtless be sold
by the Marshal, shortly
The ~ Y. GIt,na raised steam
yesterday morning and departed for Green
river, with very little on board except lot
of water-melons, for which there seems to
be good market in that section of country
1.-The Bracelet, from Cairo, passed up
at about o'clock yesterday evening, flying
light. During the wind storm on Sunday
evening while the Bracelet was lying at
Given, Haynes & Co.'S. wharfboat, at Cairo
she had her guards badly broken by lap
ping over the wharfboat
