The river at Colum ba has risen to such height. that it has driv- en the inhabitants from the lower part of the town, and great fears are entertained for the safety of the bridge at that place.
 We also learn that the Aqueduct at Middle, town, has been entirely destroyed, and the line of the Canal carried away or seriously dam aged. to the extent of nearly forty miles, We hope the accounts are exaggerated, and give this as mere rumor without being in pos session oi facts, fearing, however, for the worst results.

FREDERICK THE GREAT T he following anecdote-recorded of the great Fredrick oi Prussia-illustrates his strong sommon sense. and his quick sense of justice in the admins tration of afiairs:-
 A document was once laid before him for his signature confrmatory of justice of the peace in his office. On reading the name the king paused-and desired the minister 10 be summoned. To him he expressed consider able annoyance at the selection of such an individual, whilst the minister endeavored to defend the appointment by reeounteiing the high qualifications of the person selected The king desired that particular document should be brought him from one of the law offices, and after perusing it, addressed the minister:-'.Look ve, this man has carried on a law suit with his own mother, about 8 few acres of land and she has been obliged upon her very death-bed, 10 take an oath res pecing such pallry matter How could expect from man with such heart that he should care for the welfare of my people Away with this thing-let another be chosen.

legged to be directly the reverse ofright, abso iute proprety requiring the announcement t assert the marriage of Miss B. to Mir. A. Int argumentfor this which we find in the N Y Oazette' appears to be conclusive:
 Iae man IS not married to the woman, bu 'he woman to the man. Nothing of the man, state IS nor should be merged in marriage, bu oi the woman there is and should be. The man changes neither position nor name, the woman does both; therefore it is proper tc say that the woman is married to the man and not the man to the woman.
 The same etiquette demands this which de. mands that Senator should be presented tc President, or Duke to King, instead of { President to Senator. &c.
