Ren,srLable nIeteoric Phenomenon.

From the Ostoego Palladium, June TO-
On Wednesday morning, the inhabitants Of
the towns of Boylston and Redfeld, in this
county. were startled by the occurrence Of 9
most remarkable Phenomenon--the decentfrom
the heavens of an immense meteoric mas. The
body struck the earth between the hours of 8
and 4 A. n, with crash that was truely terrif-
ic, and the shock was sensiby felt and people
aroused from their sleep at distance Of five
miles from the scene. The body fell upon the
farm of Horace Sanger, situated on the line of
Boylston and Red6ed, striking in meadow
and partially on the highway. 1t is estimated
by our informant to cover about half an acre
of land. The earth was torn up in terrible
manner, and large fragments we're thrown a
distance of two-thirds of mile. The mass is
very irregular in shape, and rises at some points
to sixty and eighty feet in height, and is sup
posed to be mbedded in the earth as many feet.
The surface has generally the appearance of
iron ore. The excitement occasioned by the
event among the Inhabitants was intense, and
the crash is said to have been terrific beyond
description. Many supposed that the hnal
winding up Of terrestrial affairs had truly ar
rived.
Mr.. James Hadley, an intelligent and respon-
sible citizen of the town of Redfeld, who resides
about one mile from the scene, writes:
II was awakened at about o'clock on We'd
nesday morning by the room in which slept
being filed with light and Immediately heard
rushing sound like the coming Of great
wind. This did not last above few minutes,
after was awake. when an explosion followed
of which can give no description-it was ter
rible. The whole house shook as if hundred
cannon had been fred under the windows quite
a number of panes of glass were broken out of
the windows, and the plastering of the room
was in came tumbling about me. The light,
which was so brilliant that could plainly see
every object in the room, was at once extin-
guished. The window of my room is on the
opposite side of the house from the place where
the meteor fell, so that could only judge of
its direction. The light seemed to come from
some body moving very rapidly, and from
south to north, and seemed to increase rapidly
during the brief space that preceded the explo-
sion.7
| The aerolte struck the earth in some timber
land belonging to Mr.. Sanger in a thinly-in-
habited portion of the town. We believe Mr..
Hadley's is the nearest dwelling. 1t seems to
bave been an almost spherical body of, as near
as we can judge from the fragments remaining,
about seventy-fve feet in diameter. FITS course
was from southwest to northeast and descended
at an angle of not more than thirty degrees
from the horizon, which is proved by its track
through the heavy hemlOck trees before it touch
ed the earth.

world, and the chief secret of their charm is
summed up in one word: TREES The people
who laid them out q century or two ago had
the good sense to plant few score of trees
about the green and along the streets. Now
look at them! Glorious elms arch the streets,
and envelope the place in shade. The meanest
cottage is pleasant and picturesque if it stands
beneath fine old tree. The poorest village is
good to live in if it nestles under giant trees.
Plant trees. Plant them round the school house.
Plant them round the church. Plant them on
the common and along the streets. Make all
the villages and towns pleasant with trees.

TToNTEBELLO.


Ticino's tide rolls slowly on 81
Serene and calm the vernai day-
Der grassy meads the rising sun
Sheds his benignant ray.
On Montebello's dewy plains
The day orb's ardent splendor CLEANS,
And thrilling music's martial strains
Blend with the gush Of streams.
With elist'ning arms and flashing swords,
The murd'rous eqnipages of war,
There Austria's bold, despotic hordes
Are gathered from afar.
For liberty, for native land,
For home, for kindred, and for life,
Italia's patriots nobly stand
Foremost amid the strife.
And with them, Gallia's eagle hosts
Against their common foe contend
Defying Austria's naughty boasts,
Fair Freedom they defend.
The onset's made, and forward dash
The surging masses to the fray,
With battle smoke and cannon's flash,
Changing the light of day.
On Gallia's pennons triumph glows,.
The same as when, in years gone by,
The Empires glittering star arose
Brightest in Europe's sky.
The field the samoan omen bright
That points to victory and fame;
And, heralding triumphant fight,
Stands Montebello's name.
