The long continued and heavy rains ap-
pear to have been very general throughout
the valley of the Ohio and its tributaries, in
GLIDING the interior streams and canals in tue
States of Ohio and Indiana. An immense
amount of damage has already beendonei in all
directions. At Louisville the water rose with
greater rapidity last Tuesday and Wednesday
than ever before known, 10 feet in "a hours,
and fears were entertained of a flood equal
to that of al. The entire wharf is covered
with water and IL was with great difficulty
| that freight could be removed in time to pre-
vent great damage. The Courier aprehends
nat the worst has not yet come.
The Cincinnati Atlas of Monday evening
gives account of great loss of property on
III e White Water canal, in the destruction Of
locks, dams, mills, and other property, ant
the canal itself, pretty well used up. The
Miami canal has also suffered great damage
in loss of bridges, aqueducts &c. Railroad
tracts and bridges in that vicinity were alst
greatly injured.
The Columbus papers, say that the Sciots
is also. on a big spree and was rarely eve
known to be higher than at present.
Fences, corn, hay, straw and lumber wer'
swept away in great mass.

U \ morbid desire for notoriety is,
perhaps. one of the most easily kindled
OF all the passions that lie latent in mans
heart. 1t is not uncommon to hear peo-
pie wishing that they were celebrated for
something, and seemingly not over solici-
tous as to the reSpectability of their am
bition. To be the object of curiosity,
wonder, or even fear, is all that some
desire, and the name of Turpin seems to
them quite as deserving of Immortality
as that Of Howard. Such natures are
frequently initiative, and generally care
less of the distinction between wrong and
right.

When the dews of eve are falling.
And the fre-fies sparkle bright;
From thy bed of azure cleaning,
Like beam Of heavenly light;
Shining forth with magic beauty,
Queen of the celestial train;
Ever faithful to thy duty,
First of all the brilliant chain.
Where the twilight sweetly fingers.
Oft I've stood and watched thy rays,
While the heart would sadly wander
Ger the scenes Of other days.
Sometimes clouds will hide thee from US,
And the arch of Heaven seem
Like pail of gloomy darkness,
Shrouding from us thy pure gleam
Yet the eye of faith will see thee,
Twinkling brightly from afar;
Beacon light of hope and beauty,
Gem divine, sweet Evening Star.

[T The Cumberland AUeghaniGn says
that little or nothing has been done dur
ing the past week at the coal mines. On
account Of the strike. An effort to COM
promise matters had been partially sue
cessful, and most of the miners had
resumed work at an advance of three
cents per ton The total coal forwarded
for the week amounted to but seven thou
sand one hundred and twenty five tons.
The trade fell off one thousand tons last
week, in consequence Of the strike. We
notice that the stereotyped cry ola ''Short
Supply of Coal'' is being raised by inter
ested parties. This is the annual game,
intended to induce all consumers to make
their purchases about the same time, and
thus cause such a rush on the coal mar
ket: as will seem to Justify the largest
rise in prices. We advise our readers
that there will be plenty of coal, and if
they are not over hasty to play into the
hands of spectators, they may purchase
it cheap enough.

the queer things on the paper maun help
you. 1e see that big fellow, Wi round,

tween two lines of bar, he moves slowly
from that line to this, while ye beat ane
WI your fist and give q long blast; it.
now, ye PIT leg to him, ye max twa O.
him, and he'll move twice as fast: and if
We black his face, he'll run four times
faster than the fellow Wi the white face {:
but if, after backing his face, yell bend
his knee, or tie his leg, he'll hop eight
times faster than the white faced chap
that Showed you first. Now, whene'cr

this-that the tighter those fellows legs
