River News.

The river has reached dead low
rise before late in the Fall. The only
activity ON the levee is the transfer of
railroad freight from this place TO
Trenton.
Up freights are now card rates, u
slight advance over high water rates.
The Bob B. passed down at IL a. m.
yesterday. She ought to be back to.
morrow evening or Sunday morning.
The Jimmie Baker left her moorings
last Saturday for New Orleans, but did
not get any further than Lazare's
point, about one mile below the city,
where she now lies, and must remain
until there is sufficient rise to let her
of, which We do not think there will
be before tho middle of September if
that early. The Baker draws about %
inches, and there is but II inches
where she is now lying. Tho Little
Bob made a futile attempt to pull her
off last Sunday.
Commodore George jenkins, who
runs the engine at the Elevator and
superintends the transfer Of freight be-
tween this place and our neighboring
city, Trenton, wishes it distinctly un-
derstood that the report that he can
not swim is false, and he would like
to find the author. Now, we know
that George can swim. Well do we
remember the time when the Commo-
dore was trying to find bottom, where
there was over twenty feet of water,
with a hfteen-foot pole. The expert
ment was unsuccessful, as both George
and the pole went into the river. The
splashing would have done credit to
the Robt. E. Lee. George, after re-
covering from his sudden surprise and
modification, intimated that s'dere was
more water dere den he 'spected." He
says that now when he tumbles over
board from one Of the barges he simply
tells the others to Ego ahead" he will
walk behind. When not otherwise
engaged, the Commodore can be found
at his Office, No. 1, upper levee, under
the hill.
The U. s. man-of-war Wachusett is
now at New Orleans and will remain
there during the summer, unless Yellow

tact. 1t appears that he is the greatest
enemy to be feared.

This is to certify that I was sum-
moned by J. w. Locke, coroner for
said parish, to examine tho body of
w. H. Baker of this parish. I found
that he came to his death by gunshot
wound in the head, tho shot tearing
tho skull and brain very much-tWo
shot passing out, but the remaining
shot doing the greatest mischief still
lodged in the brain. Such a wound is
necessarily and quickly fatal. This
given under my hand and seal, this

John L. Daniel, being duly sworn,
deposeth and says: saw Mr.. w. III.
Baker walk down the lane and seen
Wright. He stood at the gate about
three minutes then I heard gun fire
and seen Mr.. Baker fall. Willis
Wright was the one who fired the gun.
then went to where the gun was
fired, and found Mr. Baker lying dead
in front of Willis Wright's gate. I
seen Willis Wright come out the gate
and run by Mr.. Baker. 1 was about
three hundred yards from the house
(Wright's house, when saw the gun
fire. I am positive that Willis Wright
was the man who fired the gun. I
saw Wright last when he was wading
the river. J. l.. DANIEL.
Willis Wright, when slave, be-
longed to Mr.. John Bass of Union par
ish. He was employed by Mr.. Baker
on his plantation. It seems that on
the day of the killing, early in the
morning, Baker ordered Willis of his
place, because Willis had been inter-
meddling with Mr.. Bakers cook,
colored woman. About shutdown Baker
walked down to Willis's cabin, and at
the yard gate was shot down as related
in the evidence of Mr.. Daniels, STEP
son of Mr.. Baker. Willis left imme-
diately. About eighteen hours subse-
quent a number Of men started in pur-
suit of the murderer, but up to Wedncs-
dav morning tho search had proved
fruitless.

WAITING FOR DEATH.-From q New
York telegram We learn that physicians
say that tho Rev DR. w Ives Budding
ton. the we'll known Brooklyn Congre-
gational minister. cannot live through
the year, as the malignant cancer, which
caused him to abandon the pulpit aud
has for over two years rendered hi,u
an invalid. has now complete posses
sion of his system, and defies oil sur
gical and medical skill. The whole
lower part Of his face is now covered
with generous growth, and tue poi
son Of the disease has eaten through
the lower jawbone. A council of ply.
siciaEs was recently held to consider
the feasibility Of removing the lower
jawbone and arresting the disease; but
as the cancer had doubtless poisoned
his blood, SO that its temperance was
but a question Of time. it was deter
mined not to add to the patients az
ony and TO the mutilation of his I. ce.
DR. Buddlngton is now scarcely rocog-
nizable by those who knew him. He
spends most of his time in darkened
room in meditation. His present con-
dltiop, he says, is far worse than death,
aud to die would be to be relieved
There is widespread sympathy for him
in his affliotior.
