The LATE FREsHET In our last we emu
merated pretty fully, the damage sustained
bv the tremendous freshet in this section.
In our present paper we have some addl-
tional particulars. In almost every section,
from which we have advices, immense dam
ages have beensustained, and the papers are
filled wthlong aceounts..of the progress and
details Of loss In addition to the places
we mentionedin our last, we may enumer-
ate Albany, which place suffered extern
sively--Harford CT. and other places in
that state, Concord N H. and vicinity,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey; and in fact,
we believe the storm, was felt more or less
Throughout the Country.
LAp1Es' GARLAND. We have examined
a few numbers of the Ladies Garland pub
lished in Philadelphia, by our old friend,
JOHN LIBBEy, formerly Of this town. We
must ackn owledge, we felt highly gratified

in the work 1t is nearly the size OF the
Ladies' 30 ok, and the reading, both orig
inal and selected, form highly interesting
and profting character. 1t is very cheap,
wi,hal-only one dollar, payable in adj
vance.

abolition of slavery in the district ofColu m
bia," and that he should not vote for bill
to that effect. His only object, he declares
10 have been to sustain the right of petit
ton. We perceive nothing new or strange
in this, and presume, it is only what every
intelligent person knew before AS be made
the same statement several ears ago.

the Custom House, where they wotk till
