1.-The Weather on Sunday was un-
comfortably warm until about the middle
of the afternoon when we had a thunder
storm accompanied by great deal of wind
and a little rain, which, however, was soon
over, and the evening was cool and settled.
Yesterday the sun was as hot as ever, but
there was more of a cooling breeze stirring
than there had been for some days previ-
ously.
The River at this point continues to
fall and the bar opposite. the city is show
ing itself above the surface in several places.
At Pittsburg on Saturday, there were %
inches in the channel and the river was fall
ing. At Cincinnati they were having vio-
lent thunder storms and heavy showers of
rain, while the river had risen some Is
inches, and there were then 7 feet in the
channel Below the Falls the river was
ceding and there were not more than 4
feet on Portland bar. Between that point
and this there are about feet.
1.-The L. S. mail steamer Bowling
Green left yesterday evening with Il fair
trip for the Green river country. She ar
rived here Sunday night full Of passengers
and heavily laden with freight having
gone up no farther than Woodbury., where
the shallowness of the water prevented her
further progress. Her cargo was taken
thence to Bowling Green by the d. b.
Campbell which having been unable TO
pass below Woodbury. had laid up at the
former place. Our good natured and en-
gaging friend Alf. Edwards, who has ac-
cepted the position of clerk on the Bowling

manifest.

During the thunderstorm on Sun
day evening, the Gen. Pike, on her way
down. just before she reached this place was
struck by lightning, but providentally no
injury resulted either to the boat or her
pa sscngers, although some of the latter felt
themselves severely shocked. The electric
charge sirnck near her chimneys, passing
backward over her boilers, where it divided
apo-jian of it being drawn to each engine
whence it passed out through the after
guards. As the stroke is represented to
have been very heavy one, it is remark
able that no one was injured.
.....The Equality passed down yesterday
with heavy cargo of corn from Newburg
but got no freight at this place.
