Tar RrvrR.-We clip the following
from the St. Louis Democrat Of the 18th
instant
The cry Of low water hcrsabouts has
ceased. A good stags will probably exist
throughout the spring. A rise il going
on 10 earnest. The river at this point has
risen sa5 Eve and a-half feet altogether,
principally since Monday evening. The
ice on the Upper Mississippi, for many
miles above Alton, has broken up, and
was floating past here thickly yesterday,
seriously interfering with the movements
Of steamers. A dispatch to J. g. McCune,
dated Quincy, 18th, reported the ice
moving, and rise of four feet. On Mon
day the river had fallen two feet, and was
gorged at Hannibal, but We reckon that
gorge has gone. Now there is from this
point to Cairo, doubtless, ten feet Of water
on the worst bar.
LATER Democrat of the 10th
Gays:
Six feet Was about the total amount Of
rise at this port, when the river began to
fall yesterday morning, and fell six inches
during the day, This rise, and that ont
Of the side streams below, will give about
eleven OF twelve feet 10 the channel out
70 Cairo--enough for the large boats with
foil loads. We presume that there will
be further rise here. On the l4th. the
ferries we're running at Hannibal, and il
Is presumed the river is open to thai
point and Quincy.

Mr.. Editor :--Suppose you had left
your own home as you thought for the
evening. to take tea with a neighbor, and
along with few good natured friends,
you had just risen from table that abso-
iutely gr paned-tba. is before the agree
able process Of demolition commenced
under the finest specimens of the culinary
arty Suppose you should be suddenly
summoned home with the information
that couple wished to be married, and
you should hurry away from your hospit-
able, but scolding host ess, and when you
opened the doors at your own rooms, you
should see standing there, one behind an.
other, like so many wax figures, compact
company Of men, women aud children,
who broke their silence only BY one loud
laugh at your bewiIderment, wha, would
you say But suppose after awhile, you
should 6pd Jour own table grooming like
the oEe you had left, with load of good
things, what would you say? But sup
pose that some gentleman Of the company
should take you on one side, and, 10 Z
deiicste way, inform you that there was
purse for you which you knew for month
or two At least even in this hard times,
would enable you to meet the memorable
demands of butchers, bakers, grocers,
shoemakers, DC. de-, pair Of boots
thrown 10, and afterwards three cords OF
wood pitched into your yard. what would
you say then? Would 9ou not, Mr.. Edi-
tor, put q THANK You !" in your largest
capitals Mould you not also thank the
great and good Father OF us all that he
had put 50 much generaosity ioto the hu-
man heart - such occasions and thousands
OF events 10 these times reveal /? l would
most heartily. And l need not say what

have been thus surprised and generously
dealt with. Our good friends l know will
give US credit for the thaoks we may not
