melted so rapidly this spring as usual. on
account of the late season. He also fears

the coming high water. Should the EN-
bankments break the full and mighty
force of the Natcheez would come in a
great, sudden shock upon the rocks and
banks near the bridge and the headgates
OF all bitches may suffer. The Cow
ychee, that best of all neighboring
fishing grounds, is already too high to
permit of profitable angling, according to
Mr.. Moore.
