The river has fallen one inch during
the past twenty-four hours, and is now
but ten inches above low water. The
channel below measures six feet over
the worst bars, but above there is scant
five and half feet at several points,
including Island Twenty-six and Point
Pleasant, and those are the worst places
this side of Cairo. White and the Ar

Mr.. Trumbull that we could save $50 O00 nh

Democratic votes than they will Republican

GREAT excitement was caused in
street in Baltimore. on recent Sunday,
by mysterious rapping at the window in
the upper room of a business block, which
was unoccupied and securely locked. A
large crowd collected beneath the window,
and various explanations of the mystery
were ventured. 1t was suggested that
some person had been accidently fastened
in, but no response was received to in
auiring shouts A number of persons in
the crowd insisted that they saw sheeted,
gibbering ghost at the window. Finally,
a large crowd of police was secured, the
building surrounded, an entrance forced,
and the haunted room entered, the police
men quaking in their boots. They found
a small, frightened, innocent, and alto
neither insignificant red-headed wood
pecker. Ereunt spectators.

CAPTAIN JONES, of Stonington, is re-
spousible for the following: On his pas
sage from New York, a few years ago, he
observed, one summer afternoon, heavy
cloud arise from the land and, to his great
surprise, approach the vessel. Suddenly
it broke near him, and covered the deck
with millions of mosquitoes, while part of
the flock went through the mainsail, leav-
ing nothing but the bolt-ropes hanging
idly 20 the spars. Corroborative evidence
to This astonishing tale was found in the
person of a "Down-East skipper" who
heard the story, and who, on comparing
dates with the narrator, declared that two
days afterward he was boarded by the
same flock of mosquitoes, as they all wore
canvas breeches.

with several specimens of iron ore in his

times the watch would start off at the rate
of an hour in a few minutes, while at
other times it would refuse to go at all.
The Meriden jewellers refused to touch it
for fear their tools would become magnet

If one were to take as true the New
York Suns account of tho Bennett funer-
al procession, he would hardly know
whether it was the funeral procession Of
Bennett or a marching pageant to Horace
Greeley. The honest Horace was one Of
the ball bearers, and the Sun says:
At many points It was necessary 10
stop the procession for q few moments.
When such pauses were made the people
tlocked around the carriage in which
honest DR.. Greeley was riding. They
pressed about and shook his hand, many
personally pledging him their support,
and hAiling him as our next President.
One gentleman said to him:
"I am Democrat, heart and soul.
voted for jackson; but I'm going 10 vote
for YOU this time, and expect 10 be able
to say Mr.. President to you before l die. ="
The ssge smiled contentedly at this out.
burst OF enthusiasm. His carriage was 8
perfect car Of triumph. Even the ladies
swarmed about him and wished" they
could vote Tor him.
Evidently the Sun is for making po.
litlcal capital out Of funeral. III will
only wait long enough It will have a
funeral Of its own party, when there will
be nothing to divert attention from the
political pail.

NEw ioKE, June Is "A special from
Geneva, says the English are resollte loI
the eight months adjournment, and the
indications are that II this is not granted
they will withdraw from the arbitration
This the Americans will not concede,
though a shorter adjournment might be
accepted. Very little was transacted bc.
fore the Board today, besides the an.
nOuncement Of Mr. Davis, OF the non.
reception Of instructions from his govern.
ment There is some reasons 10 believe
that the main difficulty in the arbitration
has been found. and basis reached
upon which II Is impossible to continue
the arbitration. The English agents re-
ceiVed Sunday night, a long dispatch
from their government, and subsequent.
ly meeting and long conversation
took place between Sir ROUNDED Pal.
mer and WIN. N. Eyarts. The news
had been published here that Earl Gran.
vile had stated, in the House Of Lords,
that the English agents would present a
summary OF the English argument before
the board, but Earl GranyiIes subsequent
explanation Is not generally known here
This statement therefore. Is greatly mys.
titled by both sides As no summary has
been presented the English agents are
wondering how such a summary could be
presented without their knowledgr. At
u meeting between Palmer and Evar,s all
this was explained, and distinct under
standing had upon other points Of the
dispatch. Different members are making
preparations to stay q considerable period.
The general view Of the court is
against postpOnement Tor eight months,
and il is believed that II the
President Of the United States was
disposed to go further in regard to the
supplementary article, he could convene
the Senate in few weeks; and il he will
not do so in few weeks, he will not do
so in eight months. II is therefore re.
garded as unlikely that there will be any
change in the American position, and the
members of the court are evidently giving
the whole business most serious care, and
dealing with the matter in a manner 50
that their action may not in the slightest
degree embarrass either party. II the
court should make any suggestion it is
believed II will be something in the nature
Of Il compromise, but at present the trI-
bunRl merely listens to tho statements
made on both sides.
