A Trnppcr's "strange story.''
From the st. Louis Democrat.

from the ot. Louis democrat.
Mr.. James Lumley, an old Rocky Noun
tain trapper,. who has been stopping at the
Everett House for several days, makes a
most remarkable statement to us, and one
which, if authenticated, will produce the
greatest excitement in the scientific world.
Mr.. Lumley states that about the middle
of last September lie was engaged in trap
ping in the mountains, about 75 or 100
miles above the Great Falls of tho Upper
Missouri, and in the ncighhorhood of what
is known rs Cadotie Pass. Just after sunset
one evening he beheld bright luminous
body in the heavens. which was moving
with great rapidity in an easterly direc.
ton 1t WAS plainly Wis BILE fcr at least five
seconds, when it suddenly separated into
particles, resembling as Mr.. Lumley de.
scribes it, the bursting of sky.rocket in
the air A few minutes later no heard
heavy explosion, which Jared the earth
very pcrceptibly, and this was shortly after
followed by rushing sound, like tornt :
do sweeping through the forest. A strong
wind sprang mp apout the same time, but
as suddenly subsidized The air was also
filled with peculiar odor of u sulphuou
character. .
These incidents would have made but
slight impression on the miud of Mr.. Lum-
ley. but for the fact on the ensuing day he
discovered at distance of about two miles
from his camping place, that, as far as he
could see in either direction, a path had
been cut through the forest, several yards
W de-giant trees uprooted or lrDkeu off,
near tie ground--the tops of hills shaved
off, and the earth plowed up in many places.
Great and widespread havoc was every
whore visible. Following up this track of
desolation, he soon ascertained the cause of
it in the shape Of an immense stone that
had been driven into tho side OF a noun
tain. But now comes the most remarkable
part OF the story. An examination Of this
stone, of so much of il as was visible,
showed that it had been dtuhIed into COM
pU'tDlentS, and hdt in rW'iouS places it was
carved with curious hieroglyphcs. More
than this, Mr.. Lumley also discovered frag-
ments of subsistence resembling glass, aud
here andthere dark stains, as though caused
by liquid. lie is confident that the hie-
roglyphcs were the work of human hands,
and that the stone itself, although but a
fragment Of an immense body. must have
been used tor some purpose by animated
beings ~"
Strange as this story appears, Mr.. Lumley
relates it with so much sincerity that we
are forced to accept it as true. 1t is owl
dent that the stone which he discovered
was fragment of the meteor which was
visible in this section in September last.
1t will be remembered that it was seen in
I.eavenworth, in Galena, and in this city
by Colonel Bonneville. At Leavenworth It
was seen to separate in particles, or ex-
piode

TnE CoMING OF WINTER.
ny CHARLES D. eARoKrrE.

He comes the tardy Winter comes
hear his footsteps through the nights
hear his vanguard on the heights
March through the pines with mutlled drums
His naked feet are on the mead;
The grass blades stiffeu in his path,
No tear for child of Earth he hath
No pity for her tender seed
The bare oaks shudder at his breath;
moment by the stream he stays
Its melody is mute A glaze
Creeps DER its dimples, as Of DEATH
From fettered stream and blackened moor,
The city walls he silent nears
The mansions Of the rich he fears
He storms the cabins Of the p)or
The curtaiued couch, the glowing hearth,
The frost-rimmed Greybeard's power defy;
He cures as he hurries by,
And strikes the beggar, dead, to earth
For every cleaning hall he spares,
hundred heartless hovcls hold
Hearts pulselrss, crisp with ice and cold,
Watched by an hundred grim Despairs
The forests grow by His command
Who saith He lendeth to the Lord
Who giveth to the poor |" Your hoard
Is His Ye stewards Of the land
Here is your mission Ye who feed
Your lavish fires Not a(ar,
But at your doors, your Henthen are
Gods poor-your creditors Take heed
The path is long to Pagan shores;
Their skies are sunny-God DER all
The winters deadly harvests fall
Around you Deal your Masters stores

Heavy strawberry Income.

The income of Mr.. Knox, the Strawberry
King Mt Pit sburg, was returned for 1864 at
$4,000. or this amount $4,000 were for
his crop of Strawberries grown on fifty

portion of the fruit, his receipts would have
been much larger. AS it turned out, no

acre have been produced and that SUN can

4" How wish you could have been with
my dear husband the last three weeks Of
his life. Having realizing sense that the
unnatural rebellion was near its close. and
being most of the time away from Wash
ngton, where he had passed through such
conflicts of mind during the last four years
feeling so encouraged, he freely gave vent
to his cheerfulness. Down the Potomac he
was almost boyisiI in his mirth and remind-
o me of his original na'uce, as remem-
bJred him in our own home, free from care,
surrounded by those he loved.
"Thut terrible Friday, never saw him
so supremely cheerful His manner was
even playful. At three o'sleck he drove
out with me in the open carriage, In start
ing, asked i'm if any one should accom-.
pany us? He imme1iafly replied: 'No
prefer to ride by ourselves to-day During
the drive be was sogay that said TO him,
laughingly, Dear husband, you almost
startle Inc by your great cheerfnlneas-'
He replied And well may feel so, Mary,
for feel that this day the war has como to
a close and then added: we must both
be more cheerful in the future. Between
the war and the loss Of our darling Willie,
we have been very miserable.' Every word
he then uttered is deeply engraved on my
poor broken heart In the evening his
mind was fixed upon having some Felaxa-
ton. ] firmly believe that i he
had remained in the White Honse, on that
night of darkness when the fends prevailed,
he would have been horribly cut 70 piecee.
Those liends had too long contemplated
this inhnnlan murder to have allowed him
