of God. You can't catch it.
Tho wicked deed you performed. 1t scared

THE EFFECT OF FEAR.--A gentleman OF Gin

era after a few hours illness, was so oyerc ma
by the sad spectacle aud evidently laboring
under intense fear, that upon returning to his

but lost hl5 speech. He is however, in tair
way otle ,overy under competent medical al-

should serve as a warning to all pr one to alarm
not to magnify danger by needlessly drawing

GIeanings from Our Exchan


CINcINNATI.-The Commercial of Thurs
day says:
The weather yesterday was cool and
cloudy, with several showers during the
day, and large rain storm in the evening
AT Pittsburgh the river is falling slowly,
with fourteen inches in the channel. The
Kanawha is falling, with three feet in the
channel. Here the riverfell SIX inches du~
ring yesterday. There is four and half
feet between here and Louisville, with
three and half feet in the canal.
LoUIsvILLE.--The Courier of Thursday
says:
S The river was falling slowly yesterday,
with three feet eight inches water in the
canal in the evening by the mark. During
the previous twenty-four hours it had fall
en- two inches at the head of the falls, and
six inches at Portland. The weather was
warm, the thermometer ranging at so,
with heavy and steady rains in the morn
ing. If the rain has been general, another
rise may be anticipated.
On the falls, last evening, there were only
twenty inches water in the pass down the
Indian chute, and falling. The river at
this point is now as low as at any previous
per cd this season.
BY letter from Capt. r. f. Neal, we learn
that the steamer Indiana has been success
fully hauled out on the marine ways at
Paducah. She is as straight and sound as
on the day she was launched. A strong
force of caulkers and painters are at work,
and in another week she will be ready to
go Oh the ways -rrt .et
The Democrat of the same date says:
We heard it limited yesterday that par
ties from Cincinnati were trying to buy the
Mary Ament.
MEMPHIs.-The appeal of Tuesday says:
The weather continues to improve; the
days are not so hot as heretofore, and the
nights are cool and pleasant. The levee
presented a brisk appearance yesterday,
being covered up with freight, principally
from the Belle Memphis and the Golden
Eagle. The river here is about stationary.
A passenger named u. Hackett, a resi-
dent of Bangor, Me-, fell overheard from
the Des Arc on Saturday night and was
drowned. He had been sick on board the
boat, and was probably leaning over the
railing and lost his balance. The body
was not recovered.
NEW ORLEANS.-The weather yesterday
continued very close, Notwithstanding
there being fair breeze during the day.
Business matters on the landing were
about as dull as any one could desire, for
it was the Sabbath, and laborers were very
scarce. 4
