DESTRUCTION OF A City By THE Ono
The Portsmouth Daily Tribune of' the
18th inst, gives an interesting picture of
the mannerin which the Ohio river is III
vading that city and lands in the vicinity,
sweeping away whole acres of land and
blocks of lots, and threatening wide
spread destruction. The Tribune says:
1T has worked off several acres of
bottom land. to the steep bank, and wor-
ked that down to Fifth street; taken all
of Fifth street between Jefferson streets
and the city limits on the west; and is
now cutting across to the western end of
Fourth street. Six blocks, containing
twelve city lots, that originally fronted
upon Fifth street. are now washed by the
river, which is taking them off at rate
of foot per day. 1t is a common thing
to see dozen square yards drop off at
once. In fact the most of two blocks is
already gone; and at the Northeast corner
of Fourth and Madison streets, the river
is but a few feet from Fourth street. On
ly seventeen yards Of ground lie between
the building of the boiler yard and the
river. At the rate this ground has been
caving during the past thirty days, in
one month the boiler yard building will
be submerged unless removed. Only
about forty yards of ground intervene be-
tween the depot building and the river,
At the same rate this ground is now dis
appearing, in three or four months, the
very channel of the river would wash
these buildings. And it must be appar-
ent to every observer that the evil in
creases in force as it progresses. The
more the channel of the river works in
toward the bank, resting upon quick
sand. the more force it gains, and the
harder it will be to stop its inroads.

TO THE PU BLlC.
Hail honored ages of grand progression,
While each one clings to his profession,
And science moves with onward motion,
To suit each hayward thought and notion,
Bringing to light, some new invention,
More strange than modern wit can mention,
Or genius paint with true endeavor,
Though making graphic strides forever,
While reason urges proud ambition,
To strive for wondrous competition;
Yet in this age of glorious Art,
We can the need Of praise impart,
When meritorious efforts claim
A modest puff to gild the name,
And thus we call with honest pride,
Attention to the Painters Side,
Two men who bravely know their calling,
Whose works are worthy of extolling,
Two model artists of the day,
And most obliging in their way,
Moreland Jakeman-mark the name,
In Roanoke street you'll find the same,
Call at their shop number one,
You'll get the best of Painting done,
And whether Foe, Friend, or neighbor,
They'll charge but moderate for their labor,
So now invite each one and all,
So walk around, and give them call.

UNCLE BEN'S RAM.

Uncle Ben was queer old man,
And queer old man was he;
He owned ram-and bunting ram
In fact, his bunting propensities prompt
ed him to bunt everything buntable be could
see.
His fat old wife never used stool;
To milk she would ne'er sit down;
And though old Ben called her a fool,
Yet she would never harken to his ad
vice, but to reciprocate the favor, she called
him clown.
But one sad morn as Brindle stood
Beneath the stately pear
Old Bens wife, in merry mood,
Was milking her COW occupying her
usual position, with but little care.
The ram and Ben the fact espied,
And loudly Ben did shout.
sSquat down squat DOWN. he did cry;
But she didn't hear him and before he
could interfere the ram had turned his fat
wife about.
Old Uncle Ben was very wroth,
All very wroth was he!
He took the grind stone from its trough,
And tying a pole to it, hung 1t on
limb of the old pear tree.
Then like heavy pendulum
He swung the mighty rock,
Which seemed to say, '1'm up for fun,
Mr.. Ram, so just come on, will you, and
take an atfectionate knock
Right briskly then the tight beguf,
The stone would not sgiye in"
And Bens old ram would yield to none,
Sohe hunted all day. And when Uncle
Ben went to bed he was still bunting like all
sin.
And when old Ben came out next day,
And went into the lawn,
The ram had hunted himself away.
And everything under heaven, but about
two inches of his tail, used up--completely
gone.

II a JOLLY TEMPERANCE FAMILY.-JOE
HARRIS was a whole souled, merry tel-
low, and very fond of glass. After liv-
ing in New Orleans many years, he came
to the conclusion of visiting an uncle in
Massachusetts, whom he had not seen for
many years. Now, their is a difference
between New Orleans and Massachusetts
in regard to the use of ardent spirits, and
when Joe arrived be found the people
running mad about temperance he felt
bad, thinking withs the old song that
keeping the spirits up by pouring spirits
down, was one Of the best ways to make
time pass, and began to fear, indeed, that
he was in pickle. But on the morning
after his arrival, the old lady to him and
said:
"Joe, you have been living at the south.
and no doubt are in the habit of taking
something to drink about eleven o'clock.
Now, keep some for medical purposes,
but let no one know it, as my husband
wishes to set the boys good example"
Joe promised, and thinking he would
not get any more that day, took as he ex-
pressed buster"
After he had walked out to the stable
who should he meet but his uncle.
"Well, joe says he, II expect you
are accustomed to drinking in New Or
leans, but you find us temperance men
here, and for the sake ofmy sons, don't
let them know have any brandy: I keep
little for my rheumatism; will YOU ac-
cept some?'
Joe signifed his consent, and took an
other good horn. Then continuing his
walk, he came to where the boys were
hauling rails After conversing time, one
of his cousins said:
''Joe, | expect you would like to have
something to drink, and as our folks are
down on liquor, we keep some here to
help us on with our work ;"
Out came the bottle and down they
sat, and he said by the time he got home
to dinner, he was as tight as he could be,
and all from visiting a tempernacs famrly

SINGULAR CAUSE OF DEATH.-Ihe
Concord (N H. Congressional and Jour
nal gives the particulars of the death of a
young lady named Helen M. Kittredge,
of Vigorous physical powers, at Nelson.
N. H., under somewhat singular ciroum-
stances. On Tuesday 9th inst, she ex-
hibited some systems of the typhoid fe-
yer, then prevalent in the family. Some
one proposed as remedy what is famili-
arly termed ''rum sweat" This her
anxious and affectionate mother attempt
ed to administer. After being for a mo-
ment surrounded by the ascending hot
air, she gave signs of suffering; she call
ed to her brother, who stood near, for
aid, upon whose arm her head fell, in a
manner indicated that her life was depar-
ting. She was placed upon the bed,
and gaze, and an exclamation of agony
from the almost frantic mother, followed
Her child was dead ! Alcohol had been
used, and too much of it; the nervous
syetem of the sufferer seems to have been
completely overpowered, and her whole
body was dreadfully burned.
