! Louis and the river is full Of floating ice
which extends as far down rs Commerce
thirty-fve miles above Cairo. The ice below
st. Louis is but slight obstruction to steamers,
but navigation continues suspended above
that city. Pedestrians are crossing the Mis-
souri, river on the ice at Atchson Kansas.
The Ohio is still falling at Louisville, Gin
cinnati and Pittsburg, with ! feet water over
the falls, and feet in the channel to Pitts
burg. Ice is floating freely out of the ALLIE
ghany river, md the mercury was down TO
II degrees two days ago at Pittsburg.
Here the river seems % have swollen abou
one inch, but the wind is blowing strongly on
the river and that fact may account for an
apparent swell.
Business continue. moderate and freight is
slightly in excess Of tonnage for southern

derful achievements of Babcock's Patent Fire
Extinguisher, but accepting them as creatures
more of the imagination than reality, have
invested them with no consequence whatever

of u serious conhagration by the contents of q
six gallon zinc cylinder was snccred at as
prcposterous, and the whole thing put down
as II humbug. We are about to have prac-
teal test of the merit. of these little freight
ers, right here in our city, by which it will
be shown that they can accomplish all that
has been claimed for them.

rels with shavings saturated with coal oil,
was permitted to burn in strong wind until
the flames had reached an intensity and vol
ume believed TO be beyond the control OF any
human means, when one of these cXtinguish-
ers commenced playing upon il. In less than
three minutes the pyramid stood n charred
mass, the fire having been completely drowned
out, with less than thrce.fourths the charge Of
the extinguisher. Other tests were made
with like wonderful rcsults--tho whole being
certified to by committee from the Chicago
Board Of Underwriters in whose presence the
experiments were made.
