The Memphis Avalanche of Tuesday
gives the following statement of the condi-
ton OF the Mississippi below that point:
AT the Mound place, above the mouth of
St. Francis River, the bank has caved and
carried trees with it, which protrude out
ward, and SHOULD st. amer try to make a
landing there she would have hole
! punched into her. Boats can no,
land within a half mile of the usual
landing place there. At Mheons, Blues
Point, and Polk's, the landings are all over
flowed, and platforms have been built from
the bank into the river, SO that steamers
can land and put off freight. At Friar1s
Point the freight has to be boated from the
wharfboat to the bank. Water is ali around
and under the warehouses at Walnut Bend,
Obenchain's. Kents and Mhuon's landinss.
No serious damage has been done thus far,
but should the water continue to rise con-
siderable damage may be expected. The
banks at Laconia have not caved, as re-
ported. A mud bar has formed in front of
the landing there, extending 300 feet out
in the river and is giving steamboatmen
much trouble.
