CINaNNArI, April s, M.-The river has
risen l foot since Saturday. Now % feet
in the channel. Weather yesterday, was
clear and springlike, but commenced rain
ing early this morning and has been rain
ing constant and heavy since then. Mercu-
ry Coz
1.-The saucy Charley Bowen is the reg
ular packet for Cairo and way points to-day
on arrival of the cars. She is commanded
by the good natured Bill Bentley, and as
she is swift and reliable, we hope she will
get big trip. Viets is her agent.
1.-The flying Eugene will be down to-
day, and leave for Louisville at her usual
hour We bespeak for her liberal trip as
she is commanded by Capt. Sayres with
Will DavOl in the office. She leaves pune
tually at 7 o'clock.
1.-THE Samuel Orr arrived from Gin
cinnati about noon yesterday, with the best
Wabash trip of the season. She left for that
stream in the afternoon.
..-"-The Dunbar put up her new chin
neys, aad got off at her usual hour. They
look neat and durable. They were manu-
featured by Messrs. Beckman & Neihaus, on
Water street, and are credit to the firm.
1.-THE Commercial of Saturday says :
t'Capt Gus Fowler, will shortly lead to the
matrimonial altar a blooming belle of Pa
ducah-" Which accounts, we suppose, for
the Dunbars new chimneys.
The Commercial also says that an omnibus
named Jeff Davis was shipped for Mem
pbis, on the Glendale. Another shipment
on the Glendale was three pieces of artil-
larv and fine necessary ACCOMPLISHMENTS man
utactured 10 Baltimore. They are consigned
TO the Southern Confederacy, at Jackson,
Mississippi.
1890. We learn from Memphis exchange
that the show boat, James Raymond, ar
rived with the Pelican flag in front and the
Stars and Stripes in the rear. This is Dan
Rice's show boat. IF Dan ever attempts to
show in the North again, we hope he will
meet with warm reception.
1.-The St. Louis papers contain the fol-
lowing
We learn from the Dr. Kane that the Cas-
tie Garden, bound down to this port, struck
rock on the lower rapids AID sunk. The
leak was stopped and pumps set to work,
and it was supposed she would soon be
raised. Her guards did not 90 under water.
It is supposed no freight was damaged She
had two barges loaded with grain, &C.
THE famous equestrian, Eaton Stone,
left in the Melnotte for Pittsburgh yesterday,
having with him eleven buffaloes and two
antelopes He exhibits them in New York
and then proceeds to Europe. Mr.. Stone
lately came in from the plains, where he has
been about year procuring the animals
1t is a marvellous sight to see him driving
ten of the buffaloes, tandem fashion, or one
in Il buggy, at a 2:40 pace
