"The river here was falling yesterday. Accord.
ing to the waterworks' report, it rose footan
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 sudden rise of three or
four feet during Saturday night and about as rapid
: decline. A couple of bsrges that were high and
dry on the bank above Broadway were found to |
have been shost, and were left on the bank but |
short distance from the waters edge yesterday |
morning. This sudden rise must have been pro- |
1uced by the heavy storm which passed round |
he city to the north and northeast Saturday after.
