THE RIVERS AND WEATHER.
The river continues to rise, and has in
all advanced fifteen inches, and now
stands two feet eight inches above low
water mark, with seven and half feet
to Cairo and sevensfeet over the shoals
below. The Arkansas is stationary, with
about two and half feet to Little Rock,
and White river thirty inches to Jack
sonport. The Ohio is rising at Cincin-
natl and above, and will have an abund-
ance of water for the balance OF the
season, or until cold weather sets in.
The upper Mississippi is rising slightly,
but not enough to justify prediction
that there will be an abundance of water
in any portion of it. The Missouri is
stationary and no prospects of rise. A
heavy rain fell last night, but to-day it
is cool and clear
