The Louisville Drmoerat Of yesterday
says:
The river is yet on the decline at this
point, having receded, in the past twenty
four hours, about eight inches, the marks
up to dark, showing seven feet nine inches
in the canal five feet nine inches in the
chute, and four feet nine inches over the
rocks. Business exceedingly dull, with
every prospect Of getting worse fast. The
weather continues quite warm, the Their
mometer standing at "A, at noon, 10 the

The St, Louis Democrat Of the 26th inst
says
Weather warm. River falling steadily.
Decline at and below 81. Paul is very rapid,
and low water is talked about. The Hi
nois rapidly dwindling to an ordinary
stage. Lower Missouri is troublesome
The Memphis Aralanche of the Doth inst
says;
AT Napoleon the river current has struck
with heavy force against the Arkansas
shore, and has cut the bend away until the
old marine hospital, once several hundred
yards from the waters edge, is now caying
in and rapidly disappearing from view. /.
will soon be entirely gone and so will
what remains Of the town itself.
At Cypress creek, fifteen miles below
Napoleon, the levee has cayed off and the
water is flowing across the country to
Bayou Macon, doing considerable damage
to farms in the intervening region AT
Euuray9 and NallcuC hanIs Moagg apd gar
relPs lower down, the same trouble has
occurred, the levees fallen in and occa-
sional farms are under water A break has
also occurred on the Mississippi side be-
low Friar's Point, which is Overlooking The
Deer creek country az far down AZ Captain
Hale's plantation. Higher up some dam
age is also reported by breaks in the levee,
and at Frank Rogers, in Walnut Bend,
the water covers his farm. All, however,
feel relieved at the prospect Of an early
decline Of the water and are sanguine Of
yet making a crop on the overlooked lands.

VARIETIEs.--We went 10 see the new
people" play at the St. Nicholas Varieties,
and we're much pleased with them. We
have seen persons play, who had a "big
name" yet could not, perhaps, do better
than the corps now on hand at this place Of
Amusement. Miss Maggie Fielding's song
on Impeachment is very we'll sung and
never fails TO draw down the house, aud we
must confess that othere Of the young la
dies who play there, are Also unexception-
able in their impersonations. There are
persons who, no doubt, are but too apt TO
pass hasty criticism on places OF am1se
nent, but we are satisfied that we have not
seen anything upon that stage at which the
most scrnpulous could cavil The propri-
tors OF the 81. Nicholas Varieties are enter
prising aud energetic, and do all in their
power 70 make mp an attractive bill, while
they omit everything which might be con
sidered offensive 60 modesty OF refinement.
A visit 10 the show will amply demonstrate
this fact.

ARREST OF HORSE THIEVES John
MeCann, Marion Morgan and another,
whose name We could no. learn, were ar
rested on Monday night, below Columbia,
by special agents of Detective Baramore.
They stand accused of having stolen fonr
horses from the vicinity of Humboldt, and
were taken to the Jail in that place, where
they have been fully identified by Che eiti-
zens. These men are old offenders, and it
is well that they shonld be placed in
durance.
