THE RIVERS AND WEATHER.
The river has fallen in all about one foot
since the decline began. and is now but two
feet FIVE inches above low water mark. with
scaut seven feet to Cairo and eight feet over
Reeves and other shoal crossings below.
Cold weather has again set in at the North,
and the gentle thaw that was reported there
for day or two has changed to violent
freeze. which bids fair to close all the streams
with ice in less THAI a week. There is but
three feet eleven inches Of water at the Horse
tail bar, and that is in the channel on
the Illinois side. while at DEVILS Island
three feet ten inches is reported. The Ohio is
falling at all points The Arkansas has six
teen inches to Little Rock and White river
twenty-eight inches to Jaeksonport. The
weather yesterday had every appearance of
Indian summer until night, when the wind
changed to the north and caused a rapid
change to cold weather, the mercury falling
during the night to and standing this morning
at %, or s. below freezing. which is just s.
colder than it has been this season, and from
present indications it will not get any higher
to-day.
