Too MUCH DIFFERENcE.-By the
Cincinnati papers we see that straw
berries are plenty in that city at ten
cents quart, while here they are
selling at twenty cents-just double.
This disparity in prices is too great,
as strawberries can be raised in the
vicinity of Evansville as cheap as

PROBABLE INFANTIcIDE.-A noisome
stencil, in 7 the alley extending
from Locust to Walnut Streets, be-
tween Third and Fourth Streets, led,
yesterday, to the discovery ofthe body
of a negro infant, which had been
buried in a candle box, beneath "a
Porch. The body was in a forward
stage of decomposition. and appears
to have been buried some three or
four weeks ago by negro girl who is
now in Henderson. The mother
states that the child was : still born,
and was buried there to- save the iex-
pense ola funeral. The jury rem
dered verdict that the child came to
its death from some cause unknown
to the jury. .

At dark. last night, the river was
an inch and half above the highest
point reached last month, and con-
tinued to rise steadily. The addition
al arrivals and departures were: the
Anna, Memphis to Cincinnati;
Louisa, Enterprise to Evansville; j..
P. Webb and Petrolia, to Wabash,
and Indiana, New Orleans to Louis
ville.........The Anna was pretty full
of cotton....... The Indiana had a good
trip.......The Louisa brought down
two barges loaded with corn for the
Olive Branch. She had a large
amount of corn on herself, and will
fill out below for Florence, Ala........
The Quickstep has gone to the bank
to re-paint and brush up generally.
1.-The Olive Branch was unable to
finish her load last night, but will fill
out to-day and leave positively this
evening. The delay, though annoy
ing, has been unavoidable, in conse-
quence of the bad weather and con-
dition of the streets and wharf. Her
officers have rendered themselves par
ticularly agreeable to our citizens dur
ing their sojourn here. We hope to
see her full of passengers to-day when
she leaves. The Mayfower took on
a considerable lot of freight yester-
day, and will receive at the foot Of
Main Street to-day. She will have
splendid trip of both freight and
passengers, several of her state
rooms being already engaged.
Billy McClurg, the excellent
engineer of the Mayfower, was warm
ly congratulated last evening by his
many friends here, upon the news of
his righteous verdict against the city
of Paducah......The Michigan went
up to Newburg yesterday, whence she
will take tow of coal to Island 10, in
the Mississippi. Capt. John McClain
is in COMMUNICATIVE Alice Dean,
from New Orleans, passed Cairo yes
terday She has made wonderfully
quick trip to New Orleans and back.
She left Cincinnati two weeks ago yes
terday.........The river was rising one
inch an hour at Louisville yesterday.
The food is extremely disastrous in
Tennessee.
