North Nebraska Journal 6: "The river
is still rising, As soon az it goes down
Capt Erwell will raise his ferryboat, now
sunk at Ponca landing. We understand that
the river has not washed into the
bank at Ionia as much as was feared it
would. We trust that pleasant n ro-
mantle tow will not be materially dis
turbed by the meanderings and incom-
prehensible perambulations Of the Big
Muddy. With the river so high it would be
natural to suppose, if Professor Vance's the:
DRY is correct, that the Ionia volcano would
show signs of activity. In this present dearth
of news, a volcanic eruption would he quite
an agreeable episode. 1t will probaly not &C.
cur, yet it is said that during the past two
weeks the heat at tho volcano has greatly in
creased"
