sharper had run on him for half

blacksmith's shop to be measured for

given him mixture of sal soda and

But he'd hearn tell of soda and water,

THE GOOD ANGELS!

Come. Ady and Jane, its time you
were in bed," said Mrs. Freeman to
her two little girls about nine O'Clock
one evening. Ady was nine years old,
and Jane was year and half young

at the work table with their mother,
one Of them studying her lesson, and
the other engaged on a piece of fancy
needle work.

Ady.
mo, dear. But it's getting late,
and tits time you were in bed. He
may not be home for an hour"
Ady laid aside her work and left
the table, and Jane closed her books
and put them away in her school
satchel.
"You can light the little lamp on
the mantlepiece. ."-said Mrs. Freeman
after few moments. looking around
as she spoke; when she saw that the
children had both put on their bonnets
and were tying their warm caps close
about their necks. She understood
very well the meaning of this. and
therefore did not ask question, al
though the tears came to her eyes, and
her voice trembled as she said:
"Is is very cold out tonight. chill
dren."
"But we won't feel it mother" re-
piled Ady; eve will run along yer,
quick"
And the two little ones went out be
fore their mother, whose feelings were
choking her so she could not say an
other word. As they closed the doc
after them, she raised her eyes mp
ward, and murmured:
"God bless and reward the dea
children"

At the house Of Mr.. John Lamb
several fell in the yard. A little boy
saw one of them fall. and dug it out
of the ground. where its projectile
force had buried it. 1t was about
three inches in length. of an oblong
shape. | did not see it. as a gentle
man living in another part of the
county had already procured it of Mr..
Lamb. In the evening. a young man
at Mr.. Ross's brought me a fragment
of one picked up by Mr.. Kelly. near
Buena Vista. Taylor townsip. This
fragment had been broken off after
its fall, and presented all the pcculi-
arities Of erolitcs. / have since ex-
amined it very carefully. 1t is sur
rounded by black crust Of the color
Of bitumen, the inner portion being OF
a light grayish appearance. inter-
spersed with bright shining spicule.
The outer coat is attracted by the
magnet with great force; the grayish
substance only in slight degree.
The erolite brought by Mr.. Somers
was dug up also at Buena Vista by
Mr.. Goldsmith. The outward appear
ance of the stone closely resembles the
fragment-a dark exterior, and a
grayish interior. Small particles Of
pure iron are imbedded in the black
coal. and are sensibly attracted by the
magnet, as a particle Of iron in COM
mon use. This popularity Of iron in
the pure state belongs, believe. only
to the erolite. The rcsemblances OF
these aroliics to those described by
Humboldt is very striking.
The erolite is very heavy for the
size of it, being A inch in its longest
diameter, and 23 in its smallest.
weighing one pound and three ounces
avoirdupoise. The shape is all irregu-
lar cube with rounded sides and edges
and number of sinuses or indcntures.
1t attracts the magnetic needle forcibly'
the divergence being as much as 81
degrees. The outside crust is readily
taken up by the magnet. and the
grayish substance feebly but unmis-
takably.
All the erolites which have been
known to fall in the neighborhood
were detected by a peculiar whistling
noise. AS they were all buried deep
in the ground, only few have been
found.

Fall of McteOric stones in Harri.
son Co.


son Co.
Our old correspondent, Mr.. Crosier,
of Harrison county, has been hunting
up some arolites which fell in that
region few weeks since, and has sent
the following report of his discoveries
to the Lousisvill Journal:
On the 2Sth of March, at about
o'clock, T.. NJ. three loud reports in
rapid succession. resembling the dis
charge Of artillery. was heard in Har-
rison and adjoining counties. The
reports were preceded by a sudden
glare Of light, peculiar. and by no
means like the flash of lightniug.-
There was dark cloud overhead at
the time, and the reports were follow
cd by long rumbling sound which
proceeded in n south west direction,
lasting probably minute and half
The peculiar reports were matter Of
conversation with every one, and we
were not surprised to hear that a fall
of 9rolites, or meteoric stones, had
occurred in Taylor township, Har-
rison county, Ind. Having been on the
invalid list for time, and leaving the
Corydon High School in good hands,
determined TO test the truth Of the
arolite at all events. Accordingly,
on Tuesday last. Jumped aboard Of
the pleasant little packet Bowling
! Green, at Tobacco Landing, and rar
up to Mr.. Jesse Ross in that
township.
All sorts Of vague stories were i,
circulation. But that arolites hac
fallen there seemed to be no doubt
One poor wight, when the stones came
whistling through the air. in grea
terror fell fat with his face upon tho
ground, doubtless expecting his fna
end approaching. Two other gentle
men were ont in the woods, and wer,
startled at the sound of the stones fall
ing through the branches Of the trees
Numerous other stories were rife il
the neighborhood. There seemed Il
be such supcrstitious dread attached
to these occurrences that little attomp
was made to recover the stones.

A Natural Well Iced Water-Re-
marknhle Ice Stratum.

mufhuDlc Ice Stt"tuHs
a gentleman of this city, widely
known as an engineer and chemist OF
high rank, furnishes an account Of a
remarkable stratum of Ice found in
digging well in Vermont, which he
visited and examined last week. His
descrition of the Ice agrees with an ac-
count given by another of our citizens
who is native of the neighborhood,
and who has inspected the famous
well. There is some curiosity to see
whether dog days will have any effect
upon the cold spring.
To the Editor Of the Transcript:
An article has been going the rounds
of the papers Of late. under the head
ing OF lice in the Earth" Having
recently visited the spot where the
ice referred to was found, | will state
the facts as learned them. for the
benefit of your readers, leaving it for
them to account for the phenomenon
as they think proper.
The latter part of last November,
Mr.. Andrew Twombly, Of Brandon,
VT, commenced to dig n well near his
house. situated about mile from the
center of the village of Brandon. on a
tolcrably level plain. Having exca-
vatcd to the depth of fifteen feet,
through sand and gravel. the work
men came to ground frozen solid,
through which they continued to cx-
cavate the further distance of fifteen
or twenty feet before getting through
the frozen ground.
AT the depth of forty feet, sufficien,
water having been obtained, the well
was stoned in the usual manner. The
character of the ground was the same
throughout the whole distance, viz,
coarse gravel and sand-the frozen
portion interspersed with Jumps oi
clear ice. At the time the well was
dug, the surface Of the ground was not
frozen. Ever since the we'll was dug,
up to the present time, ice forms in
the well and incrusts the stone at from
fifteen to thirty feet from the surface,
and the surface Of the water. which is
thirty-fve feet below the surface oi
the ground. freezes over every night
On several occasions, when the bucket
has been left in the well under water
over night, it has been found neces-
sary to descend the well. and. with a
hatchet, cut the ice in order to extri.
cate it. j. Ii. Il.
