RIVER NEWS.
Boats Leaving To-Day.
Departures.
Rivers. weather apd-Bu.iues..

There was a light rain Monday night,
just enough, however, to lay the dust and
make it pleasant for the pedestrian. It
has since been clear and warm, with no
further indications of rain. Business wss
very light on the levee during yesterday,
owing to the fact that but one boat ar
rived during the day, there having been a
very heavy fog during the night before,
which caused boats generally to lay up
for daylight. We may expect a lively
business to-day. The river fell here one
inch, which is now 81 feet below
high-water mark. We have no good news
to report from upper] Streams. They con
tinue to decline, 10 the disappointment of
all concerned. In speaking OF the sink
ing of Captain Crowder's bellboat in yes
terdsy's report, b printer mate US say
"Crander.") We understand the msohin
cry will all be saved, but the boat a total
loss.
