grumbling about 1t. When we come to reasonable
licks we'll duly jot them down. The river il now
full two feet higher than il has been the present
season. We have about eight feet bank and the

The weather still continues unfavorable TO rapid

eldom, the sun shines with little power, and one
almost tempted 70 think that its heat has been
,olen by northern snow banks. The river Is
