flakes, or masses, were of such huge dimensions
that they could be distinctly seen aloft, as far as
the eye could reach, and traced without confusion
in their descent to the ground while to more
dlscursve view the entire hemisphere of the upper
air seemed teeming with winged life.
Words fail for description of the pleasing
grandeur of this novel spectacle. There is no i'm
age in nature with which we are familiar, to as
sist US in the comparison. Many persons contin-
ued gazing at this scene, quite unable to withdraw
attention from it as long as it lasted.
Over what area of country this curious fall OF
snow extended We are not advised. At North
Conway, eighteen miles north Of this place, and
at places ten or twelve miles south of us, the ap
pearance was much the same as here. At Jack
son, in the near vicinity of the White Mountains,
we learn that the snow fell on this day to the
depth of six inches.
Here, however, the accumulation, though rapid
for the time, was not great, as the showing was
all over in an hour. Yet in this time the ground
was completely covered, and so densely that a
sleigh might run with toerable rapidity on smooth
rords, as by experiment was proved, by some
more romantic than the rest of u.s. who were fan
to improve their chance Of sleigh-ride in the mid
die of May. BY 2 o'clock, P. NJ, the snow had
mostly disappeared and the verdure of the morn
ing clothed thu hills and wales in liveer and more
brilliant hues than eyer-Boston Recorder.

Curious Remains.

An interesting discovery has recently
been made at Pompeii In one Of the
rooms Of a house was found a heap of sill
yer and copper coins, 500 or more 10 num-
Der, which had been tied up in bag
At the same time, and near the same
spot, were found two large shears, and
house-IniH of the ordinary description, to-
gether with a little heap of corn, the
grains, though blackened and somewhat
shrivelled, fully preserved their shape and
but little diminished 10 size. On the
next morning the exertions of the excava-
tors were rewarded by the discovery Of an
oven, the mouth Of which was closed by
large iron door On opening the door,
there came to view the entire batch of
loaves such as they were deposited inthe
oven seventeen hundred and eighty-threc
years ago. They were eishty-two in
number, and in all characteristics except
weight and colors precisely as they came
from the bakers hand. Previous to this
time, bat two loages had been discovered.
These are circular bout 8 inches in dame
ter, rather fiat .andindented (evidently with
the elbow oin the centre but they are
slightly raised at the side, and divided by
deep lines radiating from the centre into
eight segments. as dg512 qesJ .#a3ohl.2

A Model Charge to a Jury,

Il seems to us that the following is
worthy Of the defunct but never to- be-for-
gotten Wouter Van Twiller .....
eff the jury believe, from the evidence
that the plaintiff and the defendant are
partners in the grocery, and the plaintiff
bought out the defendant, and gave his
note for the interest, and the defendant
paid for the note by delivering to the
plaintiff a COW, which he had warranted
not breachey, and the warranty was bro.
ken by reason of the breachiuess Of the
COW, and he drove the COW back and ten
dered her to the defendant, but the defen-
dant refused to receive her, and the plain
tiff took her home again, and put d heavy
yoke or poke upon her to prevent her from
jumping the fence, and BY 'reason of the
poke or yoke she broke her neck and died;
and if the jury further believe that the
defendants interest in the grocery was
worth anything, the plaintiffs note was
worthless and the COW good for nothing
either for milk or beef, then the jury
must find out themselves how to decide
the ease !; for thecourt, if she understands
herself, and she think she do-adon' know
how such a case should be decided." ,m OBJ

WHEN THE NIGHT AND TEMPEST CLOSE
APRIL 8. 1863,
The Life-Arniy.

t." One OF the grand aspects OF nature i
the continual progress of life. How wide
the front, how vast beyond all power Of
numbers the multitude that make up the
army of life Every grass-blade and
-grain-stalk. every leaf, bud, flower and
fruit is little soldier in the countless
host. a-f dtrauw non ,a..,..iaI ne,
Ia spring the campaign opens. The
life-army takes up its joyous line of march
to the music of birds, and a quick and
brilliant victory seems opened. But
then comes the tug of war. The advan,
cling host encounters powerful and deadly
enemies. Frosts, droughts, nipping
winds, cold and excessive rains do the
work Of death on prodigions scale
The field is covered with killed and wouu-
ded. Sometimes general windiug-sheet
of snow enfolds the fallen host. The
campaign seems to be ended, the victory
lost, the dominion Of death re-established,
But presently there is a rally. The
forces of life spring up with fresh energy.
The sun, with his fervid beams fights on
their side. The south, wind shakes his
showering wing apd breathes his dssolv-
ing breath over the field. The combat is
renewed, Life conquers and marches
on. And though his advance guard is of:
ten killed off by the fierce reaction of the
enemy, on he pours his innumerable re-
cruits, as if his forces were inexhaustible,
filling up the places Of the slain and ever
gaining farther advance upon the enc
my. And SO, through successive advances
and checks, reverses and victories, life
goes forward, by an irregular but sure and
irresistible progress, till his reign be-
comes, as it is now complete and univer-
sal
Then, again, in the fall, there is gen
eral retreat The leafess forests, the
sere and snow. clad earth looks as if life
had again yielded up the dominion to his
great adversary. But his retirement. is,
as militarysm say, only 0for strategical
reasons" He calls off his powers from
the field and falls back upon his reserves,
as the Vienna bulletins express it, sin
good order and with unbroken courage"
He withdraws to rest and recuperate in,
winter quarters, leaving the field to the
apparent and temporary possession Of the
enemy, but sure to come back aud recon,
quer it and resume possession and sway
the next spring. ,,s " w.. e
This world is the domain Of life
Death itself is in order to life. Autumn
is the rest Of nature after the exuberance
and fruitfulness Of spring and summer
rest in order to renovate vital manifesto
tons. In winter the germs Of life seem
to be dead. They have only gone to
sleep in the kindly bosom of the earth, to
wake up and vegetate again with fresh,
vigor with the return Of spring. = ~ ,,,: {"
1t is in observing these viscissitudes
that one sees the wondrous beauty and
harmony of the world. Every phase of
nature is part of His plan who has APP
pointed the seedtime aud harvest, and
cold and heat and summer, and winter
