Fall of a Mass of Ice.

A curious phenomenon is stated to have oc-
Cured in Rosshire, Scotland, during recent
thunder storm. Immediately after one of the loud
est peals of thunder ever heard there, says the
port, large and irregular shaped mass of ice,
reckoned to be nearly twenty feet in circumfer-
ence, and of proportionate thickness fell near a
farn-h house. 1t had beautiful crystalline appear
ance, being nearly all quite transparent. except
ing small portion of it, which consisted of hail
stones of uncommon size, fixed together. 1t was
principally composed of small squares, diamond
shaped. OF from one to three inches in size, all
firmly CONCEALED together. The weight of this
large piece Of ice could not be ascertained. No
appearance whatever of hail or snow was discern
able in the surrounding districts at the time."

Napoleon BOnaparte's Poverty i'm
Early Life

M Theirs, in his History of the Consulate, re-
ia'es' ' some very strange and previously unknown
particulars respecting the early life and penury
OF Napoleon Bonaparte. 1t appears that, after he
had obtained subalterns commission in the
French service, and after he had done the State
good service by his skill and daring at Toulon, he
lived FOR some time in Paris in obscure LODGINGS
and IN such extreme poverty that he was often
without the means OF paying ten sous five pence)
for his dinner, and frequently went without any
meal at ALL He was under the necessity of bor.
rowing sums, and even wornout clothes, f.om his
acquaintances. He, and his brother Louis, after
wards King OF Holland, had at one time only one
coat between them, so the brothers could only 90

conqueror at whose mighty name the world
grew pale," was the actor TaIma, who often gave
him food and mooney. Napoleon's face after
wards famed for its classical mould, was, during
this period of starvation harsh and angular in its
lineaments, with projecting cheek bones. His
meagre fare brought on an unpleasant an insight
ly cutaneous disease, of type SO virulent and
malignant that j, took all the skill and assiduity OF
his accomplished physician, Corssart. to expel it

squaid beggar then, the splendid emperor after
wards, the threadbare habiliments, the imperial
mantle, the howell and the palace, the meagre food
and the gorgeous banquet, the friendship of poor
actor, the homage and terror of the world, an ex-
lie and prisoner, such are the ups and downs oi
this changeful life. such the lights and shadows
of the great and mghty-Troy Wing.

A True Picture.

= a. g
Senator Cooper, at meeting in Philadelphia.
on Monday evening week, makes the" following
truthful remarks on the state of our mineral and
agricultural interests and the duty Of Wings to
stand firm for the victories they have achieved :
=" Look around our State Is not every branch
oftrade languishing In the Schuylkill district
the coal trade is so crippled that the mines are
scarcely half worked. The iron establishments
now ceased operations and do not require the
amount that they did year ago, and the conse-
quences are proving most disastrous. Under this
state of things the mines have become proftless.
as has also the manufacturing of iron. But the
evil is far greater in other respects. In the alb
sence OF all business there is no market for the ag
rcultura products Of the State. an dlabor, the real
wealth oil. the country, is unemployed. What
does it profit that Providence has filled our hills
with coal and ron-hat our fertile fields are shone
upon by Gods sunlight. making them to yield
abundant harvestsi All are rendered valueless
by the fact that our rulers have adopted laws the
natural tendency of which is to retard our onward
progress. Under wholesome laws, all would have
prpspered, and every department Of industry would
have smiled but as it now is, you may traverse
the whole length of the State, and you hear naught
bu. complaints Of want Of markets, for. coal, and
want Of employment for labor, i would be folly

Anew race of People.

Al new race of people have been. recently found
in the interior of Africa, which partakes somewhat
of the marvellous. The men are represented to be
tall and powerfully built, standing seven to seven
and a half English sfeet in height, and black in
color, although destitute of the usual character
of negroes in features. Mehemit Ali sent an expe-
diton up to the White Nile in search of gold. and
there found this race of people, fifteen hundred of
whom, armed to the teeth, came down TO the shore
of the river, where the vessel lay. The name Of
the kingdom is Bari and its capital Patenja. They
raise wheat, tobacco, &C., and manufacture their
own weapons. They are probably the ancient
Ethiopians spoken Of in the Scripture. p

decree of last year. We do not perform our du-
