River and weather.
We were blessed with fine rain during
Friday night that lasted until nearly
morning, and at times very heavy, accom-
panied with lightning and thunder. and
some wind. Saturday, was cloudy and
pleasant, with a light rain occasionally
during the forenoon. The mercury stood
at 76o at noon. The river was falling very
slowly--was almost at stand-on satur-
day. What effect the heavy rain of Friday
viii have upon it, remains to be seen, but
will, perhaps, not do more than check the
decline. e ''ii
