HIGH WATER. Accounts from Natcnez to
the middle of the last month, represent the in
habitants living on the low grounds, above that
town, to be in the most distressing situation, in
consequence of the highness of the waters of
the Mississippi, which generally commences
rising in April, and continues to rise until about
the last of May, and overAows vast extent of
the fiat country on both sides of the river In
order to protect themselves from the ravages of
the flood, the inhabitants are obliged to con-
struct banks, or dykes, along the margin of the
river for great distance above New Orleans.
Breaches frequently occur in the dykes, and the
water rushes through with a tremendous force,
carrying away every thing before it !; but is gen
orally soon stopped by the negroes stationed to
watch the banks in time of high water. 1t is
said that between 4 and 5000 negroes are con-
stantly employed, this spring, between Natchez
and New Orleans, to watch the dykes. At the
last dates, the Mississippi had already reached
the common high water mark, and was still ris-
ing at an alarming rate. Great numbers of cat
tie are said to be dying for want of dry places
TO repose upon. Some people have been obliged
70 construct RATS of logs, on which the cattle
are placed, in order to keep them from drown
ing Unless the waters subside soon, the most
disastrous consequences are anticipated.

AID TO THE GREEKS. Last week we MOTTO
cd the liberality of the inhabitants of Leicester
to the Greeks, and we now have to record the
munificent donation of 1922 in money and cloth
ing to that furnishing people, from the small,
but enterprsing and liberal town of Millbury
We trust that the influence of such examples
will not be lost upon the inhabitants of this
town and others, where nothing has yet been
done. There are those to whom the public
look, to take the lead in acts of benevolence,
and it does not become us to point out the
course to be pursued by them on the present
occasion In some places, contributions have
been taken up; in others the ladies have devot-
cd one or two half days to the making up of
garments, and in others both modes have been
adopted A vessel will sail from New York in
the course of a week or two for the purpose of
carrying to Greece such articles of clothing
and provision as may be received before the
time Of sailing.

SWEET PorATos. A correspondent of the
New England Farmer says that the sweet pota-
to may be raised in this State with as much
ease as the common potato. The writer has
raised them for two successive years at the rate
of220 bushels per acre with less care than is
bestowed on the common potato. A light, dry
soil suits them best, and they will endure sew
eral frosts after the vines ofthe common potato
are destroyed. We have seen some, very large,

fore made, would justify the Commissioners in
hoping for. Indeed, the difficulties in those
two towns were not found SO great, in any
place, as, between point near the brewery,
and another, near Jones's tavern in this town
1t had been supposed that the difficulties, east
of the Connecticut river, would be greater than
to the west, but the survey has shown that they
are less
The Commissioners are now surveying a
more northerly route, from Palmer, through
Ware, Rutland, &C., after which they will pro-
coed to the Miller's river route
The survey from Boston and Providence will
be completed, and the route staked out, before
the approaching session of the General Court.

Mrs. Martha Wilcox, relict of the late Abraham Wilcox, of
Foster, which occurred on the 10Th Sept. 10 the s5th year
of her age ;-since which we have been furnished with tie
following particulars of her character:-
"She sustained throughput her long life a character uni
fornlly distinguished for its moral beauty and excellence In
the numerous circle of kindred with which. she was con-
nected, she scrupnlOnsly cultivated those endearing virtues,
which must forever enchain the fondest recoleciions of her
memory To their hearts. As "A wife, she was loving and
faithful rs a mother, anxious and indulgent ~ a sister,
kind and affectionate !; and as a friend aud neighbour, gene
rous and ohlieng. During n protracted series of years, she
had been a devout aud exemplary professor If the Christian
religion. and was justly regarded by the younger members Of
the church, as a mother IN Israel. Al she had lived, she
died, in the full aud cheering hope Of n glorious immortal
ity."
