The report was circulated in tome of the larger cities last week that there had been five bouses doted np by the sheriff in Haw- kinsville in one week. The assertion waa rather reckless, as only two houses were doted by tbo sheriff, and the other three were dosed by their owners, who, though pressed somewhat ly their creditors, had the privilege of dosiug their own doors.

CAurowna'* heavy rains thia season promise to become memorable. On Mon day week the downpour at Han Franeisoo was 2.61 inches, or slightly over half the normal quantity for the whole month of December. The full thirty-one days will probubly show a huge exresa over the rcgu> Jar qnota. It will be dittenit, however, t< beat November's record, which is the high- eat since 18411. Over eleven inches of water, or abont half the annual rainfall, fell at Han Francisco in that month. The customary amount there in NovemheRi only two inches. The wet season on the Pacific coast begins in October, and lads about six months. It is hardly probable, however, says the New York Trilinne, that the pres ent abnormal stale of things will continue until April.

Tbe mesoenger informed me that the General waa mnch wone. I hast ened to the Hermitage, and found him very much exhausted. He had great difficulty ■ respiration, in consequence of an accu mulation of water in his chest.

He tad not been able to Ue down for the last six months. He had to be propped up in his lied at night, nnd in hia arm-chair dur ing the day. On Sunday morning, the 8th instant (the day on which he died), on en tering his room I found him sitting in his arm-chair, with his two faitbtiU ser vants, George and Dick, by his side, who had jnat removed him from his bed. I immediately perceived that the hand of death waa upon him. I informed his son that he eould survive hut few hours; and he immediatelydlapatched servant for Major William B. Lewis, the General's devoted frleud. Mr. Jackson In formed me that it waa the General's request that, in ease he grew worse, or was thought to be near his death, Major Lewis should he sent for, as he wished him to be near him in his last moments. He waa instantly removed to his bed; but, before bo could lie placed there he had swooned away.

The Emperor .Alexander gave orders tnat a famous physician called Botkin, of whose skill in such cose* be hod heard, ahonld at once bo sent for. Botktn oamr, and, tc the horror of his colleagues, ha walked atreight np to the bedside cf the Empress and took hold of her wrist to feel her pulse. He waa instantly hurried from tbe room and loudly remonstrated with on the impropriety of his conduct, being told that hia imperial patient was to be looked at from a distance and that he most not ap- f iroach her, mnch leas touch her. Botkin interred in silence to all that the other doe- ton had to say, bnt when the report of the eonanltatiou was drawn np he refused to sign it. Tne Emperor, who waa exceed ingly anxious respecting Botkin's opinion, sent at once for tne report, and on noticing that the name of the new doctor did not ap pear in it he earned him to be summoned at once to hia presence. “Your Majesty,” quoth Botkin, frankly, 'I cannot pretend to treat a patient that t am not permitted to examine. Tbe Em >ress is, I Isom, in a very critical situation, think 1 can save her, bat to do so I mint he allowed to go to work in my own way," Tbe Emperor rose from bis chair, took Dr. Botkin by the arm sad marched with him into the sickroom of tho Empress and straight np to the bedside. “There, iloo- tor, ho said, “examine your patient, snd if anyone pretend! to interfere with you re member that you are obeying my com mands.” The course of treatment pre scribed by the great physician proved suc cessful. The Empress was saved and that particular rule of imperial etiquette was ab rogated forever. A shocking and fatal accident occurred at the Princess iron furnace, in Botetourt county, Va., a few days ago.
