Tho river last evening was -1 1 feet 5 and 1-3 inches on tho gauge, having risen H 2-3 Inches during the previous 2 Ihoura. The weather Is dear and warm. Huslncts dull. Tho condition of the rivers eUuwhcru as shown by the Signal otllco report Is as follows : Pittsburg, IS feet 8 Inches, tell 2 feet 4 inches ; Cincinnati, 52 feet 2 Inches, rose a feet 2 inches ; Louisville, 21 feet 2 inches, rose I foot; Nashville, 12 feet 0 Inches, fell 0 Inches; St. Louis 33 lect 11 Inches, fell 12 Inches. CENKIIAL ITEMS. Itcport suys the Charles Morgan Is coming up on ono wheel. The Cairo Base Hall Club went out on the FIsk yesterday to let the Paducah chaps take another belt at them. Tho J. W. Mills broke a follower at Island No. 8 and eiuiio back here for re pairs. She was Inking a large tow or stave barges to New Orleans. A great deal ot corn Inside tho le vees above tho city Is being drowned out hy tho water collected since the rains. One man we saw lost 120 ncres. The eorntleld over the river that Is now in great danger Irom overflow con tains 60 acres, and belongs to Tom Kref tt'A all he lm In the world nnd will ruin him If lost. The General Anderson yesterdnv brought down 4 barges of Piulucah gravel Intended for St. Loul-, but we lie- Here that one of tliemliasl)een purchased by this city for trial on our streets. The others will lie taken to St. l.onl- ns soon ns tho current will permit. The St. Louis Globe of yetcnl.tv published A dispatch from Cairo stating that the -Mississippi Is cutting away the levee at ome points back of the city. Wt took a tramp around tho levee vc- terday evening lu search of that hole and failed to llnd It. The levee I lu ex- ellent condition and It would require o feet II Inches more water to place If in any danger. The Mississippi Is beginning to glvo the people of Missouri tits. About titty teres of Greenfield's land Is Inundated and tho water is almost up to the edge ol Mr. Clark's cornfield. Green field's land Is very high and Is scarcely vcr ovcrllowed. The lakes lu Missouri arc diverting a great deal of water from the river and are now miniature oceans. The transfer steamer Junius S. Mor gan was seized at tho MU-ourl shore yesterday, but upon what grwind- we could not definitely learn. The lerrv boat Is again doing tho transter business, and as It costs about eighty dollars per day to run Die Morgan and only about thirty to transfer by the ferry boat, wc suppose her owners are not sorry. While on our trip yesterday, and at the point where the narrow gauge road Vcd leaves the lovco we found a large line looking red and white spotted cow lying In the edge of the river w here she had been knocked by a pa-snig i night train at 2 p. in. One of her legs was broken and she was unable to help herself out of the water. She belongs to a colored man named Davis and as ho was untitled of her condition, she Is no doubt out of ml-cry by this time. W'AH llr.I'AllTIIKMT, ItlVKP Ull'OHr, August 4, IS7&. STATIONS.
