General Overflow.
ST. LOUIS, Oct IS. - Dispatches from
along the upper Mississippi river note high
water at various places, and flood seems
to be apprehended At Hannibal the river
is only about foot below the freshet OF last
spring. The railroad tracks on the leyee
are submerged, and the Easements in South
Hannibal are filed with water. Several miles
of the Keokuk 6c st. Louis railroad are under
water, and number of washouts have taken
place. The same leyee which broke last
spring aud caused an inundation of several
thousand acres of farming land, and the de-
structiop of much valuable property is again
IN danger, aud if the water rises two feet
higher 1T will no doubt give way.
At Davenport, Dubuque and other places
the water is encroachlng upon the levees
and river fronts, and fears are felt for the
safety of property. The rainfalls over the
northwest continues, and the troubles OF high
water seem unnecessary. At Quincy, ILL.,,
the breaking of the leyees is again imminent,
the water being as high as last June. The
levee is being repaired in the weak spots. At
noon to-day the sun is just out, and there is a
better prospect for the cessation OF rain else
where.
AT KEoKUK.
KEoKUK, Oct 1S.-The Mississippi at this
point continues TO rise. this morning the stage
of water being two inches above the great rise
of last spring, which caused such great dam
age in this vicinity. At Alexandria, five miles
below here, the water is breaking up over the
prairie aud the prospects are that the
town Will be completely flooded. The
railway shops and lumber yards in The south
ern part of the city are completely surrounded,
and operations have necessarily been suspend
ed. 4 prominent river man expressed the
opinion that the river would rise another foot,
possibly more, and the biggest flood that has
occurred within the memory Of the Oldest SET
tiers * now upon us.
BCRLING LON.
BURLINGTON, Ia, Oct. lS.-During the TWEEN
ty-lour hours ending this morning the river
rose here seven inches. 1t is NOW nearly sta
lonlry, having risen this morning only one
half au inch. No damage here.
DAVENPORT.
DAVENPORT, IA, Oct. 1S.-The river has
fallen quarters of an inch since noon
Yesterday. Hopes are now entertained that
the worst is over. Two saw mills have shut
down, others are having much trouble in
running. The weather is clear aud cool. No
more rain is expected.

Thereupon he pushed away the old gentleman
and took his place at the telescope. said to

he wanted nae to show him the wine-shop to
see if the glass would make the bottles
bigger. He would not go away, took him
by the arm to remove him, and he then want
ed to have his sou back, pretending that he
had not seen enough for his money; and when
! refused he said; 'Ab, you wont shsw me

me in the telescope. called the police and
