Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1872-02-10

RIVER AND WEATHER There have
been fears, ONE Of which are still enter
tanned, that the steamboats, now engorged
are In great danger; but we learn that the
Ice is gradually rOtting, 90 that fears of q
sudden breakup are mostly dispellsd.
We hope this may be the case, es the de-
struction of valuable property would be
enormous, besides otherwise sfscting
commercial interests. The river here has
fallen one inch; at Vicks6urg seven
inches; sc Cincinnati six inches, and at
Shreveport three inches; and rose one
inch at Louisville, and two inches st
Nashville. No report from Cairo and st.
Louis. Seven feet IL reported at Reeves
bar. The Emma Floyd reports hesvy ice
coming down as fsr as Islsnd Forty, and
win probably pass the city this morning.
........The weather here was clear and
pleasant, and Is reported clear and fair
ct other points.
