1.-The Weather, Sunday, was very hot
in the forenoon, but in the afternoon we
had very heavy rain, after which it was
much cooler. Yesterday it was uncomfort-
ably warm in the earlier part of the day,
but there was breeze astir which prevent
ed the air from seeming close. About four
o'clock in the evening, however, it clouded
up and we had another thunder shower,
which appeared to leave the air more close
and the heat more oppressive than before,
but after nightfall light wind prung up,
which rendered it quite cool.
1.-The RiUer continues to fall. The bars
in this vicinity are beginning to show them
selves in spots almost all over the river,
disfguring the appearance of our harbor very
much. Latest accounts from above report
the river receding very rapidly. On Satur-
day 33 inches were reported at Pittsburg, at
Parkersburg 81, and at Wheeling 81 inches.
At Cincinnati, yesterday, the river was sta
tionary, with about feet in the channel,
while at Louisville it was slowly reced-
ing, with 3 feet 3 inches in the canal.
There were about three feet of water
Portland bar and the river was falling at
the rate of seven inches in "a hours
The shoals between that point and this are
very treacherous, the channel being crooked
and hard to find. Hence to Cairo there are
from five to seven feet on the worst bars
The Mississippi is reported as rising slowly
with about eighteen feet depth from Cairo
up to St. Louis. The lower Mississippi is
represented to be in fine boating stage. with
about fifteen feet water from Cairo to its
mouth.
CINCINNATI, July 2d.-River fallen +
inches during the last "a hours. feet s
inches in the channel. Showery this morn
ing. Now clear and hot. Mercury 92o.

---.. The magnificent GREY Eagle is the
regular packet for Henderson aud Louisville
this evening.
1900 The Charley Botee3s leaves to-day
for Cairo. She is the only sure chance pas
sengers have Of getting down the river to-
day.
'--..- The sale Of the Boscliqg Green took
place yesterday. There were good many
who seemed to want her, but the bidding
was not very spirited, and she was finally
knocked down to Capt. Liter, by whom she
was built and owned until about a year ago,
for the sum of 81, 500. She is now in her
fifth year, but is still perfectly sound, and
may yet do great deal of service. 1t is
the intention of Capt. Liter TO place her in
the Green River trade, to carry the mail
between Bowling Green and Evansville.
1.-The Evansville Turner Association
Yesterday presented the steamer Dunbar
with a beautiful flag, in consideration of tue
courtesies extended to that society by the
officers of the boat, when on a recent e1cur.
sion trip. An appropriate address was de-
livered by Mr.. Lemcke, on the part of the
Association, which was replied to by Capt
Fowler, in neat little speech, thanking
them for the honor conferred upon himself
and his boat.
