TIE RrvER.-The rains Of Thursday
and yesterday have caused the river to
swell little at this point. The marks
are covered with ice, but as near as can
be judged there are now about seven feet
Of water in the channel. The river m en-
do not anticipate any more water at
present, and do not expect a break up for
some time TO come. The Ice is so heavy
that great deal Of water would be re.
quired 10 move it, and 4 protracted thaw-
ing spell would be necessary to soften II
sufficiently to break. Those who live in
exposed places need therefore feel no
alarm over the prospect Of a freshet in
the near future.
