FREsHErs. Great destruction of property,
and in some cases, lives, has been caused by
the late sudden rise of the rivers throughout
New England.
About midnight of Monday the Fl ult., the
bulk head and dam above the grst mill of the
yielded to the great pressure of water, and the
mill was carried from its foundation and pre-
cipitated upon stable below, crushing both
buildings and the bridge between in pieces.
The stable contained four horses, with har-
nesses, two wagons, three swine. Three of the
horses were instantly killed, and other proper
ty more or less injured.
In Fitchburg. Mass, the dam of large res
ervoir, covering an area of $50 acres, gave way,
and in its course swept away every thing that
INSTRUCTED it. The loss to the town of Ash
burnam will amount to 100000, and Fitch
burg will be an equal sufferer, making the total
loss $780, 600, instead of $50, 200, as at first re
ported.
The Connecticut river rose very rapidly on
Sunday night and during Monday. At North
ampton, on Monday afternoon, it was rising at
the rate of s inches per hour, and there was
no passing to fIadley except in boats. A part
of the abutmcnt wall of the Northampton
bridge had been undermined and fallen, and
fears were entertained for the bridge.
The Merrimac was also again swollen. AT
Lowell, ON Tuesday, the rise was obstructing
the operations of the factories.
A correspondent of the Times. writing from
Exeter, N. H., on Thursday, says
1.-THE dam of the Manufacturing Co. in this
place, gave way, carrying with it several small
buildings, and wholly destroying in its course,
the String bridge (suspension) below it. At
two o'clock the water was at greater height
than ever before known. The loss of the bridge
alone cannot be less than $780, 900. The Man
ufacturing Co.'S loss cannot be more than
$1,000. The dam was an old one. The loss
of building not more than $1,000 of this
amount Mrs. Patchen's millinery establishment
includes about $780,"
The rise of the Hudson river through War
rem, Washington and Rensselaer, counties, N. Y.
has done great damage to property. Over 2o0.-
600 saw logs have been swept from their moor
inps, near Glen Falls. the loss from which is
estimated at 100000.

Mr.. EDITOR AS the Legislature COM
mcnces its session this week, the attention OF
your readers will of course be directed, more
or less, for several weeks, to its debates and
doings. 1 wish to suggest few thoughts up
on a subject which was introduced there at the
last session, and which will perhaps be, during
the present. 1t is generally known that Doc
tor Cushman, of Wiscasset, has skilfully pre-
pared and very tastefully arranged a collection
of specimens of birds of the various species in
digenous to the State, and at considerable ex-
pense, caused them to be, deposited in one of
the rooms of the State House, under the en-
couragement and hope, that the State would
patronize the attempt to investigate and render
familiar this interesting branch of natural sci
ence. and that it might be preserved in the ar
chives of the State, as a memorial at once of
the good taste of the people, and of their iber-
atty towards, and disposition to encourage the
devoted efforts of men of science.
1t also might have very important connec-
ton with the subject of the establishment of an
Agricultural School, should the contemplated
plan be carried into effect. There has been OBJ
lection made on account of the cost, though
trihing, of purchasing them. But how much
more is expended unhesitatingiy. for matters
of far less interest and profit. How much
would you value the ability in yourself or your
children, to designate at sight every bird in
the State. And especially how desirable such
knowledge would be, in connection with a
thorough agricultural education. If botany
and mineralogy, in some of their branches, are
of more practical or pecuniary use, the subject
of ornithology must be admitted, 1 think, to be
more interesting, and certainly affords more of
moral instruction, which is beginning to be
held of more importance, than formerly, in ed
ucation. What more instructive for instance,
than the character of the robin, which in spite
of ill usage, seeks to make friends with US, and
builds its nest within a rod of our windows. 1t
seems in its habits and its song, to have a SYM
pathy in human affairs and vicissitudes. And
then the eagle has from time immemorial, been
a theme for orators and poets. We talk a
great deal about progress. The eagle has al
ways been bird of progress. His motto has
always been "Excelsior-higher !" his aim has
always been the source of light. And being
adopted as our State and National ensign, it
would surely be a reproach to the people of the
State. if the first bona fide specimen of the live
American Eagle, that was ever within the walls
of the Capitol, should be treated without re-
spect and proper estimation of its worth. I
will only add, that the animals of country,
have ALWAYS heen considered ne enterino ouite
as much into its history, as its mineral or bo-
tanical productions, and that the collection in
Augusta has drawn many observers. since they
have been deposited there, and it can scarcely
be doubted, that the purchase of them would
meet with almost universal appreciation. w.
