at first but gradually increasing until
it grew quite heavy, and continued all
night and all day with but slight
abatement, and during the afternoon
it came down in torrents, causing the
big sewers to pour forth floods Of
water. The rain seems to have been

and st. Louis to Pittsburg, and We
may expect the river to rise again at

declining yesterday, but We presume
the decline will be checked by the
heavy rains that prevailed during the
past "a hours. The temperature was
quite mild yesterday. but the wind
shifted into the east last night, and it
was gradually growing colder.
