THE RIVER, ETC.-On last Friday night and
all day Saturday it rained almost necessarily,
and on Sunday the river was very high. On
Monday, the water having fallen some, quite
number of RATS started for the lower mar
kets, where no doubt they will arrive in safety
as the streams are not falling very fast. Clear
field creek was unusually high, much higher
timber and other lumber went adrift on the
creek but what the loss will be, has not been
estimated.
