lGoztae of Thursday. in specializing
about the prospects ofwater, says:
igs4 We heard an opinion expressed
about this. time last season, that we
would not have water until after the
snow melted upon the mountains in
| February. Time proved how fall
laoious that statement was. as it will
prove thezone referred to above. We
have no doubt that q permanent rise
has started at headwaters, and next
week will give us all the water we
want fer the business now doing.y
g Oar recollection is that the prophs
ecy was very nearly correct. The
lowestiwater was in October, and the
Minneola, whiehsleft Cincinnati on
the 18th Of September, we believe,
did not get over French Island Bar
till in November, and got back to
Cincinnati about the 1st of Decem-
Der, and the bar in front of this city
was bare duringa large portion OF the
| Winter. inuA11l 9a1 a5s-c31 r.
