FREsHET. On Thursday and Friday
last, the water rose over the banks of the
Connecticut river higher than it has risen
since loO7. The rise above the ordinary
low water mark is more than twenty feet.

hats and meadows which it must cover. it

all subsequent ones have been guaeed. was

In the process Of preparing tobacco water

AS for me, suspicious of tyrannical usur-

hearts of the Colombians. Republicans,
jealous of their liberties, cannot consider
me without secret dread because the
pages of history tell them that all those
placed In similar situations, have been am
bitlous.-In vain do | wish to propose the
example of Washington as my defence !;
and in fact, one or many exceptions can
effect nothing against the experience of the
world, which has always been oppressed
by the powerful.
| sigh between the distress of my fellow
citizens, and the sentence which awaits me
in the judgment of posterity. l, myself,
am aware that | am not free from ambition,
and therefore | desire to extricate myself
from the grasp of that fury, to free my fell
low citizens from all inquietude, and to Sc
cure affer my death, that reputation which
| may be entitled to, for my zeal in the
cause of liberty.
With such sentiments, | renounce again
and again the Presidency of the Republic
Congress and the nation must receive this
abdication as irrevocable I; nothing will be
able to oblige me to continue in the public
service, to which / have already dedicated
my entire life, and now that the triumph of
liberty has placed this sublime right within
the enjoyment of every one, shall alone
be deprived of it? No: the Congress nd
lhe Colombian people are just; they will
not compel me to an ignominious deSertion
Few are the days which now remain to
me: more than two thirds of my existence
has already passed; let me, therefore, be
permitted to await peaceful death in the
obscure and silent retreat of my paternal
residence-my sword and my heart will,
nevertheless, be always with Colombia, and
my last signs will ascend to Heaven, in
prayers for her continued prosperity.
lpray, therefore, Congress and my Eel
low Citizens, to confer ON me the title of
Private Citizen.

CURE FOR DRUNKENNESS. In our paper
of Jan. II, we published recipe said
to be a cure for intemperance. Immedi-
ately afterwards person, who has long
been VIGOROUSLY Incorporate, placed him
self under the care of Doctors Green g.
Haywood, of this town, for a trial of the
prescription. 1t was administered, accord
ing to the directions, and, we are happy to
say with complete success. The patient
has not drank any spirit since but once
and then he only had time to walk from the
bar of the tavern to the door, before it
vomited him. He has now no inclination to
taste of ardent spirits, and is an entirely
altered man, both in habits and appearances
We hope this successful result may induce
others TO try the experiment.

~ To luhom It man concern

About the 18th of Oct, last, a great coat
was found by the side of the road leading
from Worcester to Boylston, near the Bowl
ston line, and about the middle of last
month, dead horse was found in the
woods about 40 rods from the same place,
with his hide and shoes on. From the pu-
trid state the horse was IN, it appears he
must have been killed near the time the
coat was found. These circumstances have
induced belief that an atrocious crime
may have been committed thereabouts.-
Though strict search has been made, it
has led to no further discoveries. The
great coat was dark bottle-green with
twist buttons, much worn and torn on the
back. The horse was a dark sorrel about
& years old, both hind feet white, with
light shoes on. Any person who can give
any further information or who wishes to
make inquiries, by directing line to DAN
TEL HEYwooD, Shrewsbury, will be prompt
ly attended to.

like many other crops; it will yield with
late sowing better than other grain; the
straw is as valuable as meadow hay; and,
where it is wished to seed land down, the
grass does much better after barley than
any other crop. AS to profits, there can be
no doubt that it is now, and will be for
some time to come, more profitable than
any other grain.
Another inducement to the culture of
barley, to those who value the moral good
of society, is the substitution of malt liquors
for spirits. If it does not tend to reform
those who are already attached to the i'm
moderate use of ardent spirits, we have no
doubt it may be an important means of saw
ing others fiom contracting similar habits.
If those, who raise grain for distilling,
would turn their attention to cultivating
barley in its stead, they might thereby a.
void one cause of self repyoach, for we can
hardly believe any man entirely guiltless,
who, even IN so remote way, contributes
to the intoxicating and poisonous cup, which
Is daily and hourly Fastening its thousands
OF victims, not only to ruin and disgrace,
but to an untimely grave.

FIRE IN UPToN. On Wednesday, the
14th inst about half past 10 O'Clock, A. M.
the large two-story house, in Upton, be-
longing to widow Amey Sweet and her son
Robert B. Sweet, was discovered to be on
fire. The fire, which was communicated
from the stove of the shoemaker's shop, be-
gan at the northwest corner of the house.
The wind blowing strong from the north
west, caused the flames to spread with such
rapidity, as to render the exertions of all
who were collected, to extinguish it, inef-
fectual. In about one hour from the time
the fire was first discovered, the house, with
about three-fourths of It's valuable contents,
was Communicated.
A CARD. The subscribers wish, through
this medium, to express their grateful ac
acknowledgements to all those convened at
the fire which destroyed their house on the
18th inst for their very prompt and spirit
ed exertions to save the other buildings ;
and which, by an overruling Providence,
was accomplished.

BOLIVAR. A great diversity of opinion
seems to prevail as to the true character
of this distinguished parsonage. While
some laud him as the Washington of the

Bonaparte. That he is in favor of less
democratic form Of Government than ours
cannot be questioned, but how far the char
