DISTRESSING OccURRENcE.--A most dis
%tressing occurrence took place in Roxbury a
few days since, and for the purpose of remind
ing people how cautiously they should handle
poisons, we will give the facts of the case with
out mentioning names. 1t appears that a man
IN Roxbury got into a quarrel with another,
and it was agreed that the parties should settle
their difficulties by a fight on the subsequent
aay; Inc wife OF one of the parties, hearing
of the arrangement, went to an apothecarv'ss
shop and told, the circumstances of the case.
and inquired the quantity of laudanum neces.
sary to put her husband into a sleep from which
ne would not awake until after the time fixed
for the 1ght to come off. She was told the
quantity, but to make the thing sure. her kind
ness prompted her to add to the dose mention.
co ana she administered so much that it pro-
we'd fatal. She told the whole story; her Oh
her regrets; and the Coroner and other
auIlloft'es have wisely determined that the
woman was not subject to criminal proceed.

Inundated.

We have been peculiarly unfortunate with
creyasscs this season. There remains but Il
small portion of our parish which will be en-
empted from overflow. The lcvee some few
days since gave way at two points on the OPP
posite side of the river, in front of DIR. GoU-
have yet been stopped, and it is supposed that
they have now reached that point, when al at
tempts to do so, will prove futile. We opine
that these crevasses will drown all Of the crops
on that side 0 fthc river. Many Of the planters
for iailes above and below have ~alrrtag been
inundated-and the water is fast encroaching
on their neighbours beyond. On Tuesday
night last, a breach was noticed in the levec
in the rear Of our town, and before the neces-
sary assistance could be brought to bear, had
time to wash a"ay some twenty yards of the
~lcvce, and became such 4 formidable crevassc
that al endcavors to stop it was abandoned.
This current is now running through at the rate
ottwenty knots an hour. The whole surface IF
our town as far front as Bank street, (Which is
the second street from the River) is u perfect
sheet Of water; where is to be seen boats ply
ing backwards and forwards through the
streets, loaded with passengers, who are vaca-
ting their homes in quest ofdry land. The cit
liens front have been kind enough to cramp
themselves for the accommodation Of the I'M
fortunate sufferers by this sad disaster yet
inasmuch as they are too numerous TO be all
accommodated, they have either to remain in
their watery homes, or ship for some distant
port. This latter alternative have been adopted
by a great many. This partial and forced
evacuation of our town is anything but agrcea-
BILE just now this being the business season,
when every body should be industriously oc-
cupied. We judge from the height of the wa
ter under our Office, that it has risen of no con-
sequence since the last twelve hours. A fall
of six inches would suffice to rid it from the
water by which it is surrounded, and afford us
an opportunity Of travelling from our dwell
ling to it dry shod.

O. Hacousta or, the Prophecy-an Indian Tale,

be too enthusiastic in our admiration of this ro-
nance, but still we think the former reputation it
has acquired will bear us out in the assertion
that it is entitled TO hold the very first rank among
the best works of literature, and we feel well as
sured that no one with the least spark of fire in his
composition who once commencesi il, but will be as
it were so carried away and wrapt up in the

until finished. Indeed, we have just finished Pc
rusing this celebrated work, and are firmly con-
WINGED that in the effective management of an ex-
citing plot, in description of border warfare, and
especially in powerful delineation of Indian cha
racter, the author has never been excelled and per-
haps only equalled by MuERY, in his Prairie
