Aualanche.-A gentleman of Fayston, in whose veracity the most implicit reliance can be placed. has obligingly furnished us with the following account of an avalanche Ofearth or side of the mountain, in Lincoln, Addison county, on the 27th ult. occasioned by the almost incessant rains: #
 1 On the SOth of June, I went in company with 16 of my neighbours, to visit the spot so 1 singularly marked by providence. which am about to describe. found the slide to commence near the top of the mountain. be- tween two large rocks which were stripped of earth, opening passage of 4 rods wide, from ] which it proceeded sOutherly direction gradually widening for the distance of 200 rods, to the south branch of Mill Brook in FaystOn. In it's course it swept away every thing in its way overturning trees by the roots; divesting them of roots, branches and bark, often breaking them in short pieces. A number of rocks were moved to some dis tance, judged to weigh from Is to 20 tons. From where it entered Mill brook, its course was a northeriy direction 28O rOds-the nat ural course of the Brook which was small |; hut the channel cut by this freshet is now from to 10 rods wide: and on either side are large quantities of hoodwood. piled up in many places very high, and. from l5 to % rods of the lower part oft, it is blocked up a. cross the channel in every direction. Some of the trees are standing on their tops, and stripped of their bark, and branhces, and bro- ken into many pieces. The pile, in some pla- ces is ten feet high. Much of the timber is apparently buried severalfeet in the mud and sand. One large birch tree was broken of square. measuring 3 feet g inches where it was broken. One black ash was literally pounded into broom, whose brush is feet long. The whole distance of these ravages is mile and half, and the quanti.yof land metaphorsed into barren waste is 25 acres. The force of water must have been great, at which we cannot wonder when we con sider the probable depth of the water. In some places, from appearances, it must have been 30 feet high. Some of the trees on the sides of the channel were parked thirty or for ty feet high, and mud on them at that height. -[ Montpelier (Vt.) paper

THE LOVE CHARM.
.3fale bv Lud,cie Iteck Il


Tieck is one Of the band o. grcar German
writer's who burst forth in the strength OF their
genius, at the close Of the last century. The
early display of rieck was brilliant, but for
upwards OF twenty years, illness almost uniu-
terrupted, oppressed his faculties. About The
year 1912, however, he published set OF tales
and dramas, amongst which was the LOVE
CHARM This is one OF the most favorite of
DeHks romans amongst the Germans. II has
all the wildness, and the gloom, the blending
of the tender and the fearful, the attractive
and the hoffifc. SO peculiar TO German taste.
Emilius, the hero Of the Glove Charm" is
one Of those characters that genius loves to
paint perhaps because it appertans to the
temperament Of genius, when uncontrolled by
circumstances, habit and early intercourse
with society --He is susceptible and pensive,
shrinking from the chances and business of
life, and curscd-raiher than blessed with a
fortune that saves him from that close contact
with the world which is necessary to mould a
useful character He has formed friend
ship witt, one who is in all respects his OPP
posite; one Of those apparently strange, but in
Fact very cxplcable connections which SUBJ
sist between adverse temperaments. There

At times the Hottest 20 the meanest mind"
and the observation Of every day proves that
persons totally dissimilar in feeling and mind,
form intimate bonds of union. Poetry is a.
ware Of this truth, and has not neglected i, in
her creations. The fierce and sanguinary
Conrod, the stern rover of the seas, looks, as he
comes from war and blood, for the light in
Medora's bower, the beacon which faithful
and gentle love was to enkihdle for his return,
the dark and solitary Lara, with his check Of
gloom, is followed 10 the battle by soft and
gentle woman, and her heart breaks as his DO
som bleeds; the dusky Moor is loved by the
mild Desdemona, for the perils he has under
gone And thus it is in real life talk about
congenial sentiment between friends or lovers!
where they both think aud feel alike, one

FOREIGN NEWS

The late accounts from Europe are Of a
highly interesting character, as will be seen
by our columns this day. The adoption of
liberal form of government in Portugal, it
seems, has so much excited the indignation of
the King Of Spain, that the remonstrances Of
the Ministers of all the European powers have
not been sufficient to restrain him from acts Of
hostility against that nation. Those who are
gal have fed TO Spain, where they have been
joined by Spaniards, and have organized
themselves OH the frontier with the sanction Of
the Spanish government, by whom they are
furnished with the necessary supplies, and
from thence make predatory incursons upon
the Portuguese territory. Details Of their
proceedings are given at considerable length
in the papers; but we have not room to copy
them. Under these circumstances, the Portu-
guese government have applied to Great Brit
ain, as their ally, for protection. The King Of
England has laid the subject before Parlia-
ment, and both Houses have voted, with al
most unprecedented unanimity, to support him
in such measures as he may deem advisable
to take in this crisis. strong armament had
been equipped, and was about to sail with
troops to succour the Portuguese. The out
lines of the Speech Of the English Prime Min
lister, George Canning, on this subject, will be
found very interesting, as it discloses the
views OF the British ministry, in relation to the
progress of liberal principles on the Continent
Although it is professed that the object OF
the aid afforded Portugal, is not to produce a
war with Spain, and although that may not be
the fnevstdbIe consequence, yet, it cannot be
doubted that such will most probably be the
result. In such ar event what is to be the
late OF Cuba, the Key Of the Gulf of Mexi-
CO? England will feel justified in taking pos
session of it, and will have the power to do
so unless prevented by other nations. France,
the United States, and the Southern American
States, have deep interest in the fate of that
island, and will not see it pass into the hands
OF another power with any degree of compla-
cency. The question is an important one. and
may lead to consequences which at present are
little looked for.
