PROM OUR EXCHANGES. Ia,
Considerable rain fell on Tuesday evening after
our report was closed. and about dark heavy
nor'wester commenced blowing, which lasted until
Wednesday night. Ii remained cloudy and cold
all the time. Yesterday was another cloudy day,
but no wind II cleared mp at dark, and gave us
one of the hardest freezes of the season. To-
day is lovely. The river rose none from the last
rains, on account Of the heavy winds blowing
down stream, and the waters mark to-day lie
about the ssme-83 feet above low water mark.
We expect to hear Of plenty OF snow above.
The movements of steamers have been pretty
lively and constant notwithstanding the winds.
