lost her entire wheel overheard, when opposite

The river here was falling slowly yesterday.
City Engineers report records fall Of Ii inches in
the twenty toar hours ending at 10 O'Clock yester
day morning. The river was then Is feet inches
above low water mark in 1861.
The Illinois rlEer is falling, and nearly bank full
The Upper Mississippi is falling slowly, and the
Missouri river is quite low for this season of the
yeor,
The weather continues fine and cool, and bust
ness On the leVee is remarkably dull. There are
large number Of boats attha landing, and the most
Eof them laid up, doing nothing. Cause-th the South
ern country has about all the produce it will ever
want from the Northern section.
