And he told how his kindred there were laid,

And tears from the eyes Of the old man fell,
And my sisters wept they heard lis tale!

HAIL. ...... ,
Il is more easy account for the formation Of
than of hail Hail, however, is generally supposed
TO be drops of rain frozen in their passage through
the cold Of the air; and The hail is always in proper
ton to the size Of tho rain drop from which it was
formed. But this meteor does not appear to be form
ed from single drop of water, ills found to be
composed of many small spherules frozen together,
the centre sometimes soft like and other times
formed of hard nucleus which in some cases has
been of brown color, cabable origniton and explo-
sion II is supposed that both snow and hail owe
their formation to electricity; the hail being formed in
the higher regions of the air the cold is intense
and the electric matter abundant BY this agency
is supposed that great number Of aqueous particles
are brought together and frozen and in their descent
collect other particles, that the density Of the sub
stance Of the Maidstone grows less and less from the
center, this being formed first in the higher regions
ard the surface being collected in the lower. This
theory is not in AL cases supported by fact, insoms
instances the centre has been found soft and snowlike
when the surface has been hard. -H e." i.H Ifa
Hail is the only meteor Of this kind, from which

Dear Sr:-Young Joseph Cochrane
is not yet dead--he was shot in front of
the head and the ball literally ploughed
up the top of his skull, and teaspoon
full Of his brain was removed, and yet he
is alive! What do you think of the
wretches who could go out with these
boys and see them try to murder each 9TH
er? Mr.. Pooler OF Georgia or Alabama
and Mr.. Robert Cuyler were seconds for
May and Mr.. Ash, son of Michael w.
Ash, was the second of poor Cochrone,
with another person; one or two of the
seconds ran away directly when it was said
Cochrane was dead, and young May,
when told he was dead, is reported to
have said - him, he ought TO have
been killed before" He is said to have
been in such hurry to escape, that he
jumped on horse and rode of, leaving
his great coat behind. He is brother Of
Lieut., May who figured in an affair with
young Key, some time since. The quar-
rel arose between Pooler and Ash at
billiard; May interfered and Cochrane
called him cowardly fellow and thus
arose the challenge. A, DR.. Miller went
out with them. They fought at thirty
yards only with rifles! Cochrane's
brother IA most worthy many knew moth
ing about the shocking affair ill it was
over
