Mansfield Mountain.

Away out of the world and up in Vermont
are many spots of beauty, where the foot prints
oil nature can still be seen, unmarried by tbs I'M,
PfoVements of man. The grand old woods sui
niger about the Green Mountains, and the mon
arcns OF the forest still hold rule in many cha
dy dell, and on many a mountain side. The
sparkling springs are not all yet forced into iron
pipes, from their fountain heads, nor do all the
busy, gladstone brooks, yet toll at the grosnlns
wheel. Nature still remains natural in the M
mediate vicinity Of our mountains, and days
ra'nble IN the wood Is possibility, without en-
counterlng aught to remind one OF the presence
Of man on the earth.
In no spot IN Vermont are there more attIae
tons for one Who loves the beauty and grandeu,
Of nature, and natural scenery, than can be iouDa
around Mansfield Mountain.

kossuTH AND MAzzISr The Glasgow Post
of a late date says
We read in the Assemblee Rationale -
kossuth and Mazzini left London fortnight
since, and no one knows where they now are.
The London journals make no mention of their
departure"
hossuth IN his last address delivered in Fan
euil Hall, stated in substance that Turkey was
making such rapid progress in adopting the mil
tary tactics of the West, that Russia would not
allow her to remain long at peace, because eight
or ten years peace would enable her to become
too well orgauized to be easily subiugated;-
war, therefore, he contended must occur, or.
what was very Improbable, Russia change her
policy In the event OF such a war he said
hungary would not be idle; and it is probable
mat he has now gone to Turkey, ready to enter
hungary ana can ms countrymen to arms, the
irst favorable opportunity.
Mazzini Is probably in his beloved Italy, once
more to try the fortunes of war.
