The papers in Maine abound in details OF damages
and accidents from the floods Of waters which rush
ed down the streams Of that state, produced by the
melting of the large quantities of snow upon the hills
and in the Forests Mills, dams, booms, &c have
been swept off in great numbers from the rivers, and
large quantities of lumber have been carried down
the streams, much oft 10 be loss to the owners
The food was general--the waste, we should judge
from the accounts almost unparalleled and an es-

The destruction of bridges upon the rivers and smaller
streams in some parts othe state was so general as to
cut off nearly all comm unicaton from one town to

declines the mission to China and consequently there
is now vacancy in the China Mission. In the act
authorising this mission is the following proviso
"And provided further, That no agent shall be sent

We see it stated in some papers now that Mr. E.

The population Of this town, at the commencement
of the sickness, was about 1861 that of every
thirty Of the inhabitants have died. OF the whole
number Of adults who have died, II were males and
50 females. ftha females, seven died soon after
confinement making the proportion of cases of this
kind that have terminated fatally is believed, less
than one fourth. The average age Of those who have
died 40 and two thirds years. 1t is probably not
going beyond truth to say, that two thirds of our
whole population have, more or less severely, had

twenty Of those who have been sick have died. In
some six or eight cases, those who have died

CoNsTITUTIoNALIrY OF THE BANKRUPT
LAW. The Supreme Court at its last session at
Washington decided expressly that the provisions Of
the General Bankrupt Law gave that Court juris-
dction in of Bankruptcy. The question there
by was thrown into the United States Circuit Courts,
and will be pertinent for decisions in each
spective district Since the decision of the Supreme
Court two have come before the Circuit Courts
-one in the eastern district Of Louisana-the other
in Missouri: In the former the following opinion
was rendered, April 25
That the act of Congress TO establish uniform sys-
tenn of bankruptcy throughout the United States APP
proved the 10Th day of August ls4i, is valid and
binding law according the Constitution Of the Uni
ted States of America [Signedl j. MCKINLEY,
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court ofhe United
States"
Judge Catron gave similar opinion in the case in
misunderstanding the decision Of Judge Wells in
the District Court against the Constituonay Of the
Law. OF all this, nobody will complain, ifthe dis
charged bankrupts will only now do, what honesty s.
integrity demand Of them-pay ur all their honest oh
legations so fast as they cam by industry and ecouo-
my, procure the means Of doing There are but
few who cannot do this and the public expect they
will do it, and require it Of them. And no man
should feel satisfied till he shall have discharged all
| ofhis moral obligations.

TUES DAY, MAY 16, 1s43.

The EPIpEM1c. We IT'LL hear of deaths occa-
sionally in the neighbong towns of eryspelas, but
they are far between and scattered, and the number
of deaths in proportion to the number Of cases is evi-
IDENTITY much less than before the warm weather set
in Very few are Of q viruent character, and yield
more readily to the influence of good nursing and
medical treatment, yet when attacked, in most cases,
some time is required for the patient to recover his
strength. The disease prostrates more suddenly than
most other diseases the energies OF the system, and
the convaescing patient carries around for long time,
cadaverous countenance, land it requires and at
tention to expo the poison Of the disease from the
system.
Within few days there have been, we learn, sew
eral rather severe cases and about the Village Of
Lower Waterlord but the epidemic appeared
there so late in the it is hoped, and may be
expected that that people may be spared, ard not be
called pass through the mournfu that those
have in towns where the disease appeared earier.-
The approach of summer encourages this hope.
In our immediate vicinity there had been but few
cases till within three or four weeks. In this time
there have been ten dozen, but generally the at
lacks have been mild and all either recovering
have fully recovered
In Bath, last year, and over the mountains in this
state, as the warm weather approached the disease
abated, and by the first Of June the cases became
very unfrequent, though through the summer there
were occasional cases as well deaths. but the
change was SO marked when spring and summer
came as TO show that warm weather is an enemy of
the disease
The past winter has been busy one with physicians
in this part of the state, yet we believe there has
but one only fallen prey to the dsease-Dr. Ather-
ton, Of Glover, though several others have been sub
jects Of it, The incessant study and the patient in
quiry of the medical gentlemen to learn the charac
ter Of this epidemic and its proper antidotes;
their enduring, arduous and unweared efforts-both
day and night-to heal the sick and dispel the sor-
rows of the afflicted have been such TO entte
Them as class, to the gratitude Of the living, Their
fees but half compensate them for the tolls and night
watchings they have been called upon to endure. So
long as they could 60 from their carriages to the bed
side Of the sick and dying they continued to answer
the calls of humanity many times too, with hazard
to their own lives. Some, our knowledge have
rode night after night without an hours usual repose
and only such they could steal in their carriages
& by the sick bed Of their patients Though have
not eeded their kind offices ourselves, feel tho
such conduct should be forgotten ;tha it is honor
able and praseworthy in so high degree as to mer-

not who have experienced their kindly attentions, and
the surviving friends Of the many dead will respond
