FIFTEEN TO TWENTY FEET OF Snow
A letter dated Gorham. N. H., July 18th.
speaks OF the discovery Of snow in the
Iuckerman Ravne as follows:
in visiting Tuckermans Ravine, the
snow was found to be from Is to 20 feet
in depth, its melting on the upper end
furnishing a most beautiful variety of cas-.
cades, whose waters in their fall sparkled
like diamonds in the sun. Abound and
just above the rayine may be counted
thirty distinct patches of snow, some OF
large size, which, although exposed to the
direct rays OF the sun for near ten hours
are Sill left as testimonies to the awful
depths Of snow thrown there during tho
winter, As the snow is thawinr away
vegetation is seen just starting, as tho
sHowdrops and other flowers and plsnts
do in the vicinity Of Boston the last of
March or the first of April.

them and warned them of. Failing to obey,
the sentry fired volley Of lnrlsketry into the

The sentry soon after heard a noise like the
hauling up of n boat at Fort Sumter. One Of
the men who was in the boat is said to be
wounded badly. Their object is supposed to
have been desertion. Some say t was des-
