The river was falling again yesterday,
with full three feet water IN the canal last
evening by the mark. During the previous
twenty-four hours II had fallen two inches
at the head of the falls and six inches at
Portland, quite a serious decline on the
pre- emit exl enc low stage OF water. The
atmosphere was almost chilly. yesterday
morning, the thermometer down TO sixty
seven in the shade in the forenoon, and
not over seventy-five during the day. The
weather was clear and bracing and the
cool change must be attributable 10 heavy
rains farther North.

inches wafer in the dug cnute, the lowest
stage of the season, but still good ways
above extreme low water mark.

the officers f und the opportunity To plum
der the captains room and went ashore at
the first landing. The captain telegraphed
