CINOINNATL-The Enquirer of Mon
day says:
The river here was falling yester-
day. According to the Water. works
report, it rose a foot in twelve hours
| during Saturday night, and fell seven
| inches during the DAY yesterday, with
| seven feet five inches in the channel
last evening. The mud and sediment
( along the shore, however, furnish
\ evidence that there was a sudden rise
ofathree or four feet during Saturday
night, and about as rapid a decline.
A couple of barges that were high
and dry on the bank above Broadway
were found to have been ahoat, and
were left on the bank but a short dis
tanee from the waters edge yesterday
morning. This sudden rise must have
been produced by the heavy storm
which passed round the city to the
north and northeast Saturday alter
noon. rr
The Charleston, bound for Evans
Vile yesterday, sunk one of her barges,
loaded with railroad iron, at the 1901
Of Fifth Street. q i1

The Democrat of Monday says:
improvements, new inventions, con-
densed fuel expenses, low-pressure
boats, fast time, &C.. &C., has been
the order of the day, and yet the
most simple, and we might say valu-
able matter of interest in river navi-
cation, has just been discovered. The
Louisville and Cincinnati Mail Line
Packet Company have chartered q
dredge boat, which, we think, was
originally naraed Lady Washington,
to cut out the sand on Rising Sun
Bar. That she can do it is no ques-
