a boat there from st. Louis on Satur-
day at noon, and now on her way
back in perhaps eight feet Of water;
Missouri swollen three or four feet
from the almost universal and plen-
teous rains, and three feet Of rise at
Omaha; heavy rains at Burlington,
and the ice moving on Friday; and
mild weather continuing at every

water to Cairo, unless rains of con-
siderable extent. shall intervene.
