River and VQeather.

River and weather.
Yesterday the weather was delightful-a
bright, clear, pleasantly tempered day.
The River here, is strange TO say, rising,
having swelled some five or six inches dur
ing the twenty-four hours ending yester-
day afternoon, while at Louisville, Cincin-
natl and Pittsburg it was still declining at
noon on Saturday. Just where this rise
comes from Is somewhat of mystery. The
Tennessee River is rising rapidly. The
Cumberland slowly.

interests and that OF the city by giving all
their Tennessee River freights to her. We
are surprised to hear that some have been
persuaded into shipping on outside boats
