CoipMBrA, Pa, July s.--The Susquehanna
Siveg here 10 now very low, caused by the
WuDt Of rain. This greatly interferes with
(ho busjpess st the coal chutes Of the Reading
q Columbia railroad company, and the work
u 1csdfng boats has been greatly retarde''f
Iho fah chutes have been closed and by tbls
moana the water has become somewhat
higher. Many people have remarked very
pcCuliar taste in the drinking water for the
pest several days, and they attribute the
cause TO the low state of the river. Along
the shore the water presents the appearance
Of being stagnant, which is certainly preju-
dicial to the health OF the town. good rain
would be much welcomed.
