Waters Declining.

The river here, after remaining sta.
tionary since Monday last. began to
reCede last evening, and to-day at
noon had fallen one inch. 1t now
stands eight inches below the highest
mark of last year.
AT Cairo this morning at 6 o'clock
the river had fallen nine inches in all,
and marked fifty one feet FIVE inches
on the gauge.
The Ohio river is falling rapidly its
entire length from Pittsburg to the
mouth, and is within its natural hanks

The Signal Service report tele.

yesterday afternoon announced rise
of three feet four inches during

with the water level at 20 feet

terrogation point on this line in his
bulletins, as he regarded it a
doubtful statement. Last nights
press dispatches dispelled the unpleas.
ant illusion by announcing decline
of 2 inches, with only % feet on the
gauge. 1t was only sensationalists
who were misled by the foot and odd
rise business.
The 4cWs from all upper country
points is encouraging. as the waters
are declining every WheEe above
Cairo, The small tributaries Of both
the Ohio and upper Mississippi are all
receding.
The pilots Of ateaRera from
below state that the water from the
mouth Of White down is 2 to 3 feet
lower than last years highest, and
that the current OF the Mississippi is
unusually swift. Indeed they never
knew it to be SO strong % al she pres
ont tiMs, They all say Il is the hard

climb. Many do not understand the
peculiar feature Of this rise. They
say that the.,waters at Cairo have heeN
higher than ever before known, while
along the lower part oftbe river the
Top swell is two to three feet lower.
The cause Of it is perhaps because the

St. Francis river swamps nave not

that the rain fall between here aud
