THE RIVERS AND WEATHER.
The river rose ten inches since our
last report, and stands twenty-four feet
eleven inches above low water. The
Ohio is rising at all points below
Pittsburg; the Mississippi is swelling
slightly at Keokuk, and the Missouri is
sending out a swell from its lower tribu-
taries that will cause rise Of at least
two feet at St. Louis. White river is
stationary with a nineteen-foot channel,
and the Arkansas is falling slowly, with
nearly eight feet to Little Rock. I'm
like yesterday, the weather to-day is
cloudy, quite a heavy shower having
fallen during the latter part of the
night.
