WEATHER AND RIVEKs

GAS WORKS, April 20, 1863.
River fell in last "a hours 81 inches.
Below high-water mark 2 feet u
inches.
CHAS. GOODWIN.
The heavy rains Of Sunday and Mon
day, it will be seen, had the effect of
checking the decline somewhat at this
point. The fall in the past twenty-four
hours was two inches less than our last
report. Our telegraphic dispatches give
the latest news from all points above and
from the Arkansas at Little Rock. One
thing is certain, we are TO have no over
flow, and that is about ali that our plant
ers want to know about the river.
Yesterday was clear and lovely, and
we think that as no indications Of rain
are apparent that we may have a few
hours Of fine weather.
