The rivers in the Ohio valley con-
tinus to rise, but the little cold snap Of the
last few days has checked them little.
There 10 said to be considerable snow
throughout the Ohio valley; this is proven
By the rapidity which its rivers rise when
ever the temperature gets up little. These
ftful little thsws no doubt cause much
water to run out little at . time, and will
have the effect Of reducing the final big
food that will come when the weather be-
comes steadily warm. Nevertheless, people
less secure than Cairo il, should not ex-
pect very great reduction.

occupied all afternoon and court adjourned
until this morning to conclude it. Little
or no other business of any note was done
in the police courts yesterday.
Pursuant to an order from the council,
partition has been built across the coun-
Gil chamber dividing it in two halves, the
forward half to be used by the council and
clerk and the rear room for various pur-
poses. This was deemed advisable because
the room was larger than was necessary and
could not be made comfortably warm dur.
ing cold weather. The clerk found much
difficulty In doing his work, having to
waste much Of his valuable time in blowing
his hands and stamping his feet to keep
them warm even in close proximity to q
red-hot stove. This statement may seem
slightly over irawn to some; but We are sure
the clerk will vouch for its literal truth.
