since last report and is still coming up rap
idly.

exhausted itself at Pittsburg after reaching
a channel depth Of sixteen feet, and is now

The side streams along the Ohio have also
cut of their supply sooner than was antici-
pated, and it is probable the river at this point
will not rise over four feet more than at pres
ent, If so much.
