RIVER NEws.-At ten o'clock last
night the river was between thirty-sx
and thirty.seyen feet, as near IS could
be ascertained, and rising about an
inch and half an hour. The dis
patches from above state that the ALI
leghany and Monongahela rivers have
commenced to reoede, and the proba-
bility is that we won't have more than
thirty-eight feet OF water at this point,
or at all events the river will not be as
high as it was in the December rise.
The unusually Ligh atste OF the river
has almost, il not entirely suspended
navigation sad things about the land
ing are exceedingly dull. The Courier
LETT for Parkersburg yesterday, but
none of the other packets have arrived
or departed.
The r. r. Hudson is due here to-day
from Cincinnati, but will probably be
delayed on account Of too much water.
This season, at least, river men can
not complain that they have not had
enough water for navigation. The
TACT is they have had more than they
want.

THAT the Mason and Hanlin Cabinet
Organs are the best instruments Of
their class made, is now so generally
admitted and understood that not many
will question it. Their reputation is
not only American but European. In
England especially their Gales are ex-
tensiye and rapidly increasing, notwith-
standing the great disadvantage in
price at which American manufacturers
must, necessarily, compete with the
cheap labor Of France and England.

not required formerly, and hence 1t has

Bya comparison with the death rate in
other cities OF equal size, II will be seen that
the mortality OF Wheeling is quite favor

lation of about $500, (which was an in

Human Strength.

Among the Arabs, the Persians,
and the Turks you do not meet with
those understood, rickety, consump-
tive beings who are so common in
Europe; you do not meet with such
pale, wan, sicklylooking counte-
nances; their compilations are bright
and florid; they are strong and Wig
orous, able to ride hundred miles a
day, and capable of performing other
most amazing feats. at.
remember seeing a most striking
instance Of their powers. A band of
men from the Himalaya mountains
had come to Calcutta for the purpose
of exhibiting feats of strength, and
they were indeed perfect Simpsons.
Their size struck me with admiration.
I know nothing that I can compare
to them; but perhaps some of you
have seen the statue at the bottom of
the stairs at Somerset House; it is
Hercules leaning on his club, is about
seven feet high, looking like being
capable Of executing the most diff
cult task, and such men were the
athlete. W
We selected five men on board the
Glasgow frigate, similar number
from one of the regiments, and like
wise from an Indiaman, all fine.
picked men; and yet upon a trial of
strength, it was found that Hima-
laya mountaineer was equal to two
and three-quarters of the strongest
Europeans. They could grasp a man
and hold him in the air like child,
and if they had not been under CON
troll, / am convinced they could have
crushed him to death. ] felt them,
