PROBABILITIES.
The barometer will probably fall on
Sunday very generally over the country
from the Mississippi to the Atlantic. The
area OF lowest barometer is moving north
eastward into the Ohio valley. S0utherly
winds, with threatening weather and DOS
sibfy rain: will prevail on the gulf coast
west of ApalachicOla bay, and extend
northward to the Ohio valley by Sunday
afternoon. Increasing northeast winds
prevail on the lower lakes. Cloudy or
clearing weather prevail throughout the
Atlantic States. Dangerous winds are not

Weather mild and cloudy. River falling.
ST. LOUIS, February IO.-Weather mild,
and the thaw is progressing rapidly. Sew
eral steamers at the wharf got up steam to-
day, and set their wheels in motion to loosen
the ice around them. The Adam Jacobs
disengaged herself, broke the ice alongside
of several boats and then assisted in clearing
large space in the harbOr. The ice is rot
ting slowly, but unless rise comes it can
hardly be expected to break up for some
days. A rapid thaw of the snow on the
Ozark mountains is looked for, and rise
and breakup in the Usage and Gasconade
rivers will rapidly force the gorge here.
The ice above the bridge is still strong.
Teams and foot passengers continue to
cross.
A dispatch from Belmont says: The
weather is warm. The tOwboat Kellogg
has cut into the gorge there to point
above the steamer Charles Bodmann, so that
she will get out safely.
CINCINNATI, February 1O.-The ice moved
on the river, at three o'clock this afternoon,
about sixty yards, since which time no
change has occurred. No damage was
done to boats, precautiOn having been taken
to guard against accidents. The weather
has been mild to-day, and the thaw contin-
ues tonight. From present appearances
the opening of navigation will not be much !
longer delayed. There is now five feet in |
the channel.
LOUISVILLE, February l0.-Weather mild; |
ice thawing rapidly. The gorge at the Tow
head is losing large fragments from the |
lower end. The mercury today ranged
from SO to So.
One of the gates for the new locks was
completed and towed down to-day; the
other will be finished the last of next week.
EVANSVILLE, February l0.-The weather
is chiefly clear. The river has risen one
inch. Mercury $40 at 3 P. NJ. No ice in
sight.
CAIRO, February 1O.-The kellogg
worked in the gorge today in place of the
Indiana, and succeeded in cutting the
Charles Bodmann out at p. NJ. The Nick
Longworth will be the next to get out, as
the current of the river runs under her
The upper end of the gorge has melted
away to the foot of Island No 4. Three
hundred yards more would give a clear
river to Columbus along the Kentucky
shore. Weather warm, spring-like and
clear Mercury $50 tonight.
