| Mb. Editor: —Again I ora called to jibe painful task of communicating to yon 'the details of a distressing aflair of sni:cidc, which took place in this neighborhood a few days since; and which reunited in (h‘c death ot a very respectable citizen of this county. The particulars, as near ns I can learn them, ore ns follows:-— On Wednesday morning, thelidii iast., William Way hind, after eating a hearty breakfast and sending Ins boys to tbe field to work, telling them that he would soon be out there to join them, stopped into the house and finding hiraselt alone in the room, he hastily pulled off one of his boots and socks. At this'moment his wife entered the room, and asked him the cause of this uroccdurc. lie replied that ho was “only getting some trash nut of his boot/’ After which she turned and went out. ‘ Scarcely had she qnilte.) the room, however, when a loud report,of n gun and a,heavy fall on the floor startled the whole family, and the horror-stricken wife rushed into the room, which -she found filled with smoke and the scent of gnn powder, and in the middle of the floor lay her husband upon bis face, struggling in the lastbgbnies of death! lie extended his arms, mado'oho or two faint struggles and all was over. ■*.; It appeared that he had taken a doublebarreled shot-gnn and placing the muzzle against his breast; with the other end on the floor ami pointing it in the direction of hi> heart, contrived to fire it with his toe—-for which purpose he had removed the covering of his foot. The whole charge entered his, bosom, making but one aperture as large as the calibre of the gim and piercing bis heart, lodged iu the back part of hisjelt side. * 1 ; ft stem? to have been premeditated—from the foci that ha had previously writ-, ten. Id* will, and placed all his pecuniary rttf.tii.s~hi «ttch a shape as to lender them ea-ily settled hi his executor.. Sir. \Vay-Uud-'.ivas a 'highly respectable farmer, bl-oir, fortune had long since placed in c ii-y circuradunces, 1 and' who ■ was :'snr* nmV.ded with everything that emild rciidvw lifu dc.-iraidu or pronibto enrtply luippi- f DC'S- Butt waive years ago he exhibited | unniifitakable signs of insanity, and made ■ a n'mirticccss fnl attempt at self-destruction. | He recoverlfd and appeared; pet feet ly, ra-! ctonal until a few days previous to his j ■ lent I), when he ex v re.-sed g rent fears, of j becoming it raging uiaui u\ and came iV the cuiiduitou that all his friendswereln« enemies and wore bent on his.'fair;.

lust 1ms the following: Wo learn-from one of onr citizens who kept a water-gunge, that there fell last week, five inches of rain, which is about onc-tighih-pf the. average yearly quantity. Tins; if general, would -ho ;■ suftu-ienl to produce a Very heavy Hood, especially.if much snoiy was remaining near the;hcad waters. It 1 is seldom,, however,, tlj'at'a | rain ttorra.v covers the entire valley in j its full: force, but is usually heaviest on i one side or the othcK 1 From Pittsburg! to Cairo, in a direct line, the is I about 520 miles-., The slope on the north ; west sideiVill average not. far tiom'HO' miles, and (hat on the, south-east, say 200 miles in width, givipg on the north^vest; upwards of 70,000, and oh the south-east| upwards* of 100,000 squareniilcs. 5'AVc >hmdd add - to this, Tor the valley of the v AUt'ghenyJ : at least 80,000 square miles, i making a total of 200,000. : ■ ■; : . j • Tho.mafn tributaries, on tho.sonth cast, ishe their rise on the face of the greatAHoghony ridges, up wards.of three hundred iiti.es from the:source of those oh the which .is on the tabled and j dividing the waters on tho Ohio and lhe| Lattes, .or :St, Lawrence. The streams | rising in the Allegheny rid gee have, for a great part of their course, a torrent-liko rapidity, cutting mnt deep chasms in the’ limestone formation and affording some of the grandest scenery, in the The IC"rtaffha, or Kcw River, possesses; those cffarictcristiCf ih 0 high degree It, is petoaps; net generally hSOwn thallhc Kanawha'is at Toast tloiible 1C length of the Monongahcla, and affords. aCy ea< d double the quantity of water. Oar Usual win tor Hoods arc from 40 to 48 feet abo ve low water, and it ts only occasionally that a winter passes without one or these. Onr late spring, or May floods are from 30 to 35 feet. Rises below these last arc not dignified by tho name of floods. The extraordinary floods arefrpm 50 to upwards GO feet above low water The oho of April, 1815, was 58, that of February, 1832, was 03, and that of December ’47, was 02 feet. Rut there most have been floods still higher. To form some estimate of the mighty mass of water which is to-day sweeping past ns, we may safely pul down the quantity at 21,000,000 cubic feet per minute, welching upwards of 500.000 tons and exerting a force equal to 100,000 horses. While on the subject of the Ohio, wo will give a few more statistics: The rapidity of tho current in the Ohio varies according to tho volume of the water. In low water it will not average more than two miles an hour, whereas during a flood it is at least lour. The total fall in the Ohio, from Pittsburg to the mouth is estimated at 400 feet, or five inches to tho mile.— From Marietta to Portsmouth it is about 6 incites, and from Portsmouth to Cincinnati! about 4 inches to the mile, Tho mouth of the Muskingum, at low water, is two' feet above Lake Eric, and 5GG above tide water at Albany. Low water at Portsmouth is 98 feet below that at Marietta, 06 feet below Lake Erie, and TG8 above tide water. Low water at fini’innalt is 36 feet below that at Potts-

Locusts Coins a.—Papers . published in Southern Indiana say that persons in digging the earth id various places have discovered a large number of embryo locusts making their way to. the top of the ground. Farmers judge from these indications, that a vast army maybe looked for this coming.summer to cat out. their substance.
