We notice in the New York Evening Post
a statement worthy of attention. IT is men
toned on the autbo ity OF a private letter
| from Berlin, that the physicians of that city
held what they called a Medical Exchange
i. e a meeting Of all the physicians every day
at noon, Outing the time when the Cholera
Morbus visited that t,aee.-This mealiGg
was found of the greatest benefit to the com
munIty, as the physicians communicated to
each other their experience, success, or the
contrary, with that celebrity which, in the
treatment of this cruel disease, il. of So mo
mentious an importance.
Such a course is worthy OF the considera-
ton of American physicians every where.

The late Feshef.-The Ohio River commenc.
ed rising at this place about the 9th INST. On
the 18th, it began to swell over the banks, and
on the l4th, many merchants and others, near
the river, were compelled to move their goods to
the second story of their houses. 1t continued
to rise rapidly till Saturday morning. Feb. g.
when it came to a stand, having risen siriy three
feet above low water mark. Difference Of opn-
ion exists. as to its comparative height with the
rises of 1892 and 1915. 1t is supposed to have
been about five feet higher than IN 1892 or 1915.
About noon, on the 18Th, it commenced failing
very slowly, and yet continues to fall. In the
course oftwo or three days, it will most proba.
blv be confined within its banks.
The rise was of the most distressing charac-
ter. 1t carried desolaten into all the lower part
Of the City. Hundreds of families were turned
housees upon the community. During the ear
y part of the rise, many in the lower part of the
City were awakened at night, by the water pour
ing IN upon them. and we're obliget! to hy-oth-
ers betook themselves to the upper stories, and
were broug hit away IN boats the next morning
Many families continue to reside in the upper
part Of their dwellings, making use of boats in
going from, and returning to their houses.
We have heard of the death Of but two indivi.
duals. Mr.. John Harding and Mr.. William AuIs-
brook; the former a man Of family, the latter q
single man. They we're in the employ Of Mr..
William Tiff of this City, and los, their lives in
endeavoring To keep the water out Of his cellar.
While at work the back wall Of the building gave
way-the cellar filled in an instant, and they
were unable 70 get out. They were both very
worthy men.
The water extended over about thirty five
squares of the thickly settled part of the City,
from John st. on the West, TO i'eer creek on the
Fast, and North to Lower Market and Pearl sts.
The distance of about mile West of John st. (,
was likewise submerged. This part of the city,
however, Is but thinly settled.
The amount of damage sustained BY merchants,
owners of improved real estate, and others can.
not be correctly ascertained. Many houses have
f1oated away, great number have ed from
their foundations. aud turned over; many walls
have settled as TO inJure the houses materially;

Mr. Edior-lt was observed by Seneca, that
the corruption of the present times is the gene
raj Complaint Of all tunes; but philosopher as
he was, il was not given TO Seneca to look so far
through the vista Of tuturity as the present day,
else he might with propriety have added, that in
this administration should concentre much Of
the corruptions of past aud present history, and
leave scarcely a trophy to be won BY the most
daring aspirant oi future times. The worst DAYS
OF Rome did not exhibit 4 more licentious or ty-
raupica! spirit than thar manifested at times in
ouc day and country. Never was there time
when more victims were sacrificed, more proscrip
tions inflicted, more cruelty practiced. to crafty
bad purposes; nor can We doubt that farther
infection of inquisitorial punishments is only
prevented by the staying arm Of the laws Of our
country. But for the redeeming and controlling
power Of Congress, the sun Of our liberty would

of affordng relief. AT a subsequent meeting
twenty were added to the committee Of vigilance.
1t gives US pleasure to state that the members
of the foregoing Committees most faithfully dis

A provision house was opened by the Commit

All who had vacant houses and rooms chcertnlly
appropriated them to the use of those made house

he trusted his fearless outrage on our rights aud
honor would pass unheeded and unpublished,
whilst he could further his political interests:
but as " authority in sin is an incentive to 1t,

safety and honor of the United States that both

This has been the theme of general conversation
throughout the country; and as "ln these days
it passes for great pietv not to be very mpous,"
SO Mr.. Van Buren's dishonesty not amounting

To The Hon. the ommon Council of Alexandria
would respectfully beg leave to draw your at
tentiun to the Inspee ton Of Whiskey in this
place. Ali that is brought by wagons to this
town from the country IS subject TO your laws;
and, if the article is under proof. one cent GAL
Ion is deducted from the price Of Proof Whiskey
for every degree under it. Is that the case with
Wh'skey coming from Baltimores No. That
article is brought here and sold at the price of
Proof Whiskey; when. in fact. it NAV be seve-
raj degrees below it; and the consumer cannpt
discover it-for false bead can be put on the
Whiskey to hide the fraud.
To what can we attribute the decline OF our
Whiskey receipts by wagons. but to thi> unequal
aud oppressive laws to hope. therefore. the
subject will be taken up immediately by your
Honorable body and justice done to our own
farmers. If ever the proteciire system we're JUS
