THE GREEN MOUNTAIN

in the presence of the Pope. The Pope,
when he gave audience to the Earl, required
that he should acknowledge his supremacy
by kissing his toe. This the Earl, being
of the reformed religion, positively refused
to do, although it was piece of homage
which all the sovereigns Of Europe were
accustomed to perform when admitted into
the presence of the head of the Papal
Church. While Clement, in very high
tone was insisting on the propriety of the
English Earl submitting to this ceremony,
and extending his toe significantly towards
him at the same time, the Earl's dog, mag
lining, no doubt, that some signal insult was
intended to his master by this gesture, sprang
forward and bit his holinesss toe; which
provoked general burst Of laughter from
all present, and was so highly resented by
the Pope that he refused to admit the Earl
to second audience, The Earl of Wilt
shire returned to England with his suite
and the separation of this country from the
Papal See took place in less than four years
after thir ridiculous incident.

were several parrots, which required, from
imitation, various human and bestal cries.
The absurd camor and gambols of the u
nique assembly were most extraordinary.
Sometimes profound stiffness prevailed,
only disturbed by the buzzing and low gen.
tie whistle of insects or lizards; and anon,
as a small heecy cloud momentarily shaded
the brilliant moonlight, the fire lines ap.
peared to gain additional lustre, and to
multiply into countless numbers. A light
air, loaded with perfume, just gave a gentle
motion to the leaves of the orange tree,
from which proceeded low waiing sob,
as from child in great pain. This ap.
peared to arouse host of mourners. The
sobbing was taken up by dozens of voices,
apparently of all ages, until the chorus
swelled into loud agonizing grief Bless

really to be infected with melancholy feel

changed into loud and screaming laughter,
which, after swelling into perfect diapa-
son, fell as if from utter exhaustion. The
source of the sounds was at length revealed
they were produced by the rascalIy parrots
in the orange trees. Sleep was quite out
of the question until late hour, as the par
rots were continually, upon any disturbing
cause, venting their screams of joy or sor-
row, or pleasure or haste, as the fancy
struck them.

A Horse Killed by Bees,

One of William Armstrong; horses
was stung to death by bees, on Friday last,
while quietly grazing in lot at the east
end of Main Street. The bees, as if by a
preconcerted arrangement, sailed forth in
a body from their hives, which were in an
adjoining lot, surrounded the animal and
assailed him at all points. In less than
three hours after the commencement of the
attack, the poor beast surrendered in the
agonies of death, and the victors returned
within their citadel

all, for have Just seen one made OF stout
tin, and of size sufficiently large 10 con-
tain the milk of two COWS, with the bottom
dished internally, and fitted with a small nall
tap, for the purpose Of letting OIL the mix
instead of skimming the cream as Is usu-
ally done. But this tap is used tor another
purpose, namely, to let off portion OF the
milk, after it has had time for subsistence,
when the half pint, so drawn away, will be
found to contain al the filth gathered in the
milking, and nauseous serum, by when the

IRON.

This is one of the most remarkable of
metals: and from its universal diffusion in
the soil, its presence in all plants, its APP
pearance in all animal bodies, and from its
unlimited employment in the useful and
ornamental art, it may well be regarded as
the most important of all the elementary
substances which exist on the globe-so
useful is it to man, that its production may
be considered an indispensable condition
of civilization and human progress. The
earth could not be made to yield its in
crease, the harvest could not be secured,
food cooked, nor even eaten with proprie-
ty, without the implements and vessels
made from iron-The convenient dwelling
would give place to the bark hut, and the
log cabin-Travel and transportation would
lie confined within narrow limits, and the
people of other continents would be as un.
approachable and unknown, as the beings

Iron in pure state is white, has per.
feet metallic lustre, and specific gravity
of 7.9.
Masses Of pure iron, from few pounds,
to several tons weight, lie scattered at wide
distances over the earth but these are sup
posed to be of aerial origin, and are called
meteorites.
The iron which forms such extensive
beds and mountains of ore, and which in
minute particles is almost as universally
diffused as the air we breathe, is in an OK
dized condition, and mechanically COM
bined with earths and other metals.
In this state it constitutes about three
per cent. of the crust of the globe.
The ores of iron are known by different
names according to their chemical compo.
sltlon. The clay iron stone, which is the
only one worked to any considerable ex-
tent, is carbonate of the protoxide, mixed
with clay, lime, magnesia &C., and avera.
ges about forty per cent of iron.
This metal in the different forms of iron
and steel, possesses the opposite qualities Of
extreme hardness and tenacity, perfect soft
ness and malleabilty, an uncommon degree
of elasticity, and great strength and inhex.
Utility; in consequence it is Justly regarded
as one of the most useful of all the metals
not excepting gold.
Pizarro, during the conquest of Peru
was obliged to shoe his horses with gold
being destitute of iron but the shoes were

and flnty roads of that country, leaving the

Hit Him Again.

The following capital anecdote we find
in the National lntelligencer:
Gen. T. of New York, a gentleman of
known wealth and lberalty, was not long
since called upon by person to obtain his
signature on petition for the abolition Of
capital punishment. The person unfoIded
his papers and documents, and presented
and enforced his argument in rather tire
some speech, stopping occasionally to de-
post mouthful Of tobacco juice upon
nice parlor carpet. Gen. T. was in favor
of diminishing capital punishments, but
doubted the propriety or expedency of a
polishing them in all cases. At the express
sion of this opinion his visitor began to
bride up and prepare to lay down his ar
gumentS with greater force; and in order
to give greater facility to his enunciation,
he took from his mouth huge ouid of to-
bacco and threw it upon the white marble
hearth, saying he wished the General would
be SO good as to inform him in what cases
capital punishment could never be justified
or defended.
Well" said the General, {" it strikes
me that, if we are going to abolish cap
ita punishment, there are two cases which
should be made exceptions"
"Two cases, are there?" said the peti.
TONER. "Well, sir, should like to hear
them stated and the arguments for them?"
The first" said the General, sis that
OF clear, cold-blooded, premedited murder
think the person who lies in waiting, or
in ambush, with malice prepense, and takes
the life of fellow creature, Dug hit to for
felt his life in return. He deserves to be
hung"
Well, have abundance of arguments
to meet that OCCASION" said the visitor
Now | should like to know what is your
other case"
The other case" said the General, ais
that of the animal that walks on two legs,
calls itself man, and carries a mouthful Of
disgusting filth into clean house, and
there pours it forth upon the carpet and
scatters it over the hearth. Such being
is certainly not fit to live in decent society
and do not know of any better or more
ready mode of getting rid of him than tc
hang him. With these two exceptions,
think should be willing to sign your petit
ton for the abolition of capital punishment
The visitor gathered up his papers, thrus
them into his pocket, and with very blanl
look hastily withdrew. He has not callec
since to receive the Generals signature.

An Elopement in Russia.

A young widow, the Countess C, was
deeply in love with a young officer of the
Horse Guards The Countess lad an i'm

but the will of the Emperor hindered her
from sharing it with her lover. The chaste
Nicholas had forbidden their marriage
You are aware that it is next to impossible
tor Russian to convert his wealth into
ready money without the permission of the
Emperor. The moment the latter perceives
that any one of his subjects is seeking for
resources which he can carry with him to
foreign land, the autocrat interposes his su.
Preme will, and attaches the proprietor to
the soil, like serf in the old ieudal times
Estates can be alienated only by virtue of
Uice; whoever has been ruined by gambling
or debauchery is permitted to sell his prop
erty, because, after the settlement of his
debts, misery prevents his escape from his
master
The Countess, who knew this, borrowed
