Gleanings from Our Exchanges.
CINCINNATI-The Commercial of Wednes-
day says:
The weather was very warm yesterday,
with a refreshing rain last night. AT Pitts
burgh, last night, the river was falling,
with feet in the channel. Here the
river has receded 3 inches during the q
hours ending last night, with 10 feet on the
shoalest bars hence TO Louisville. There is
The Liberty No. arrived at Pittsburg
yesterday, with tow OF id.0OO empty oil
The last arrivals report the Little Ka-
nawha higher than known for some time,
and the Muskingum and other tributaries
pouring out lively. We may anticipate
rise of several feet here tonight and to-
morrow.
LoU1sv11LE.-The Democrat of wednes-
day says:
The River was falling yesterday, and was
still falling last evening. with about five
feet three inches water in the canal, and
three feet three inches water in the chute
on the falls.
Business was somewhat livelier on the
levee than usual. The weather was warm
enough to make a fellow wish he could take
off his skin and SET in his bones awhile on
a lump of ice.
We learn that on a recent up trip of the
steamer Golden Eagle. the ma found
large fuze shell in she coal, which, had it
been undiscovered and thrown into the
fire, would have resulted disaStrously.
There seems to be a mystery abort this
matter. Some steamboatmen are of the
opinion that a great many of the late dis
asters have been caused by placing shells
in the coal. 1t looks as though there
might be some reasons for this belief, from
the fact that the A. 4 NJ. 5. S. Line have
been sufferers so much of late from explo-
sions and fires.
John jackson fell off the Mccain at
Memphis, few days ago, and was
