THE RIVER.

The water is nov rushing down up
on us, but the rise has slackened up
very much and we believe that con-
siderable change will take place in.
the next few days in the upper
rivers.
The lcvees II. East Carroll were
never in the condition that they are
in to-day, and are in better shape
than they were last year, and we be-
lieve that it would take considerable
more water than we had then to do
ary damage. With the levees Oh the
other side of the river from US in a
bad way, there is no danger or ap-
prehension as far as our parish is
concerned.
The Providence gauge on Friday
morning ready $500, a rise OF only
8 tenths in the previous "a hours,
which is a big falling off. The river
has risen $3.50 from the low water
mark. The highest stage reached
last year was 44.40, when the levees
commenced to give way, and there is
no telling how high the river would
have went If the embankments had
held.
Thursdays river report gives the
gauge at Cincinnati 52.2. ~ above
the danger line, and the river falling.
At Cairo IT is rising, with 42.7, 81
above the danger line. At Men,
phis 32.2, lacking only 10 of reach
ing the danger line, and rising. 1t
is rising at Chattanooga and falling
at Little Rock and Fort Smith.
