THE RIVER AT HELENA.
HELENA, Ark, March 10.-The river de-
clined one-half an inch, and will continue
falling slowly for several days, when a
more rapid decline is expected. The
levees are still being strengthened and
made thoroughly secure in this vicinity.
Back water is still rising in the overlooked
districts below. This will continue until
the decline in the river draws the water
bask through the crevasses. The most
terrific currents roar which can be heard
here during the still hours of the night,
are tearing through the country below,
carrying destruction with them. In the
Old Town lake region the water is the
highest ever known, the losses to planters
being greater than ever before from the
same cause. Cabins, fences, dead car
cases of animals are seen floating down
the river in great numbers. The weather
is clear with a strong wind from the north
west. The southern express has been
transferred 10 the Midland road owing to
the stopping of trains over
the Iron Mountain route.
