THE RIVER.

The river at this point continues to rise,
and is due to the advent of the Minnesota
flood which is now reaching this section of
the river.
Yesterday the Josie came up from below
and passed on to st. Paul. The raft boat
Hershey came down with a big raft in tow.
To-day the raft boat Clyde came down
on her way to st. Louis
Tomorrow the Libbie Conger is expected
from below, as is also the Grand Pacific.
The Josephine is due from above.
A private dispatch received this morning
from St Louis states that the river has
fallen at that point SO as to enable boats to
unload. Freight will therefor be received
for that port, unless new order is received
to refuse it on account of the high water.

BLACK ROOM

Wednesday evening Haverly's colored
MINISTRIES perform at Harper's Theatre.
The entertainment given by these negroes
is everywhere well spoken of AS a sample
of the comments of the press the following
from the New York Herald is given
A characteristic and in many respects an
enjoyable entertainment was given last
evening at Haverly's Niblo's Garden by q
company Of colored performers who have
been more or less successful wherever they
have appeared. More than hundred per
sons of both sexes belong to the cast, and
among them are a number of specialists
who in song, dance, humorous recitation
and dialogue, introduce a variety of effects
that illustrate the peculiarities of Ethiopian
life. The company, however, is seen at its
best in the first part of the performance,
when a chorus of male and female voices
make some very good music. Several of
the solos are also to be commended. Three
or four of the members of the company are
full of comic talent and afford not little
amusement, their actions being representa-
tive of plantation life and in a measure diff
ferent from that which is usually witnessed
on the stage. Other portions of the exhibit
ton were aot novel, but at the same time
afforded abundant amusement, all of which
the audience evidently enjoyed.

wish to communicate through
YOUR paper few facts in relation to
the sickness of my wife, and her re-
markable benefit received at the hands
of Mrs Dir. Keck, thinking that may
in this way influence some suffering
fellow beings to seek the aid which
may restore them My wife has been
labOring under chronic affections, in
ending catarrh, for II years, and has
been treated for the same most of that
tine, without material benefit until
she applied at the Office of Mrs. DR..
Keck, in Peoria, last fall She had not
then spoken loud Y ord for nearly 5
months, having lost her voice while
under other treatment. She was tire
atened with paralysis, her entire left
side being very weak and numb, her
nervous system was completely shat
tered, her lungs in a serious condition
and her health failing rapidly Her
hands and feet were always cold, so
that it was almost impossible to warm
them, showing poor circulation and
condition Of the blood.
About October 1st, 1880, she applied
at the office Of Mrs. Dr.. keck, in Pc
oria, for advice and treatment, which
sne continued faithfully at home until
the middle OF December. She made
Sc eral visits to Mrs Dr. Keck's office
i'll Peoria in the meantime, to obtain
necessary directions and medici es,
and improved very much, Her voice
was still gone, however, and | had
very little hope that she would ever
recover it, although Mrs Dr. Keck said
that her remedies were working splen
didly on her system, and that if she
would now accompany her to Daven-
port Intirnary to receive extra treat
memt she would recover her voice and
health. But still douJtin :, | took my
wife to several physicians OF elui~
nence for examination and opinions
They agreed with MIS-. kcck az to
what e trouble was, Some OF them
said there was re7y little hope. while

and heard her speak aloud for the Il st
time in eight months. Her health is
very much better III every way There

boarders at Mrs. Wonders boarding

when Mrs Watson talked aloud H.. G

SO long, and did not believe she could
be restored. 1t has pa1d US well to

A FLOOD.

A resident of Hampton who arrived in
this city during the morning, states that he
came down the river Sunday in a private
turn out of the roadway on account of the
water overlooking the ground adjacent TO
the river. The worst place reported was
just above Watertown, in the neighborhood
of Beal's tannery. At this place the water
had overfiowed considerable portion of
the low ground, and was slowly spreading.
1t will be well to take every precaution
to avert damage from high water, as the
river is on the boom.
