Nothing more w is learned yesterday of the ownership of the dead little chilil, found by OtHii r Tyler in the pond ol water o i Thursday morning, although every ef fort was made to work up the case.

Thursday afternoon a party of five lit tie children in a skiff were mi a pond of water back of St. Mary's Infirmary and the heavy wind lnch prcvadad drovi them am th ir bark against a tree near the centre of the pond, fr nn which they were unable to got awsy.

All of which proves that Paddy Huhes, though not always a law abiding citizen, Is yet a brave man. At ono o'clock yesterday afternoon tho Ohio river uiirked forty-seven feet aet-n and a half inches on the government gttago at this point, wlfi :h whs a fall of two and a half Inches during the previous twenty four If urs At six o'clock last nigh, it Btood at about forty seven and a half feet. During the psme time a rise of three feet one inch was record d at Chattanooga, one fait ten inches at Cincinnati, three inthesnt Louisville, two feet ten inches at Nashville and eleven inches at St. Louis. This shows considerable of a falling off of the rate at which the rivers have been ris:ni at these points for several days back, ex cepting at St. Louis, where the rise was greater. It is probable, therefor, that the rise will soon cease entirely. i Grandmother says: "If.
