there being but few arrivals. Nothing Of
unusual interest occurred. A drsymsn,

curry-combs upon a dray, let go his hold,
and away went the hogshesd slap into the
river, and, while attempting to fish it out,
the bead caved in and scattered curry
combs hither and thither. This made
considerable sport for the time. After the
parties mostly interested In the recovery
of the property had satisfied themselves,
little boys plunged in and made several

this point. The Arkansas and White
rivers are on the rise. At Reeves bar
there is 6 feet, and 6 feet Of water between
here and Cairo, except at Island rs, where
there is hut 8 feet 6 inches. The Ohio is
rising at Louisville and Cincinnati. The
upper Mississippi Is slowly rising at dit
ferent points. The prospects are better
