| r. +4ai River and Weather.
The weather continues cold and cloudy
light snow flakes falling occasionally dur
ing the day. The river rose an inch or two
during Wednesday nightIbut was declin
ing almost imperceptibly yesterday. The
wharf mere is very muddy, and no effort II
made, we believe, to clear it off. Steam
boatmen complain greatly and justly OF
the great difficulty of receiving and dis
| charging freight. =
At Pittsburg and Cincinnati the river is
again falling.
