The Evansville journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ind.) 1866-1870, 1868-03-28

The weather, yesterday, was cloudy,
dark, cold, and damp, with light rain
occasionally, and the mercury down
to 44o. The river fell fully two feet
during the twenty four hours ending
at 3 Pm. yesterday, but we think the
continued rains which have been very
general will check the decline, and
cause a rise. 1t is rising at Cincin-
natl and Pittsburg rather fast.
