not only Of an outcry against him among

opinion Of the Queen upon the subject.
"Fhe Queen requires, first, that Lord

Mr.. Jau-s Lamley, an old Rocky Noun
tain trapper, who has been stopping at the
Everett Houss for several days, makes
most rcmarabIe statement to Us, and one
which, if authenticated. viii prodce the
greatest excitement in the scientific
world
Mr. Lumley states that about the mid
lie Of last September be was engaged in
trapping in the mountains, about seventy
five to one hundred miles above the Great
Falls of the Upper Missouri, and in the
nei-hJorhood Of what IS known as Cado.te
Pass. Just after sunset one evening he
behe'd bright luminous BODY in the
heavens, which was moving with great IN
pidity in an easterly direction 1t was
plainly visible for at least fye seconds,
when it suddenly separated into particles,
resembling, as Mr. LumIy describes il,
the Lurstinrof sky rocket in the air. 4
few minutes later he heard a heavy explo-
sion. which Jared the earth very perccpti-

by a rushing sound, like u tornado sweep

spraug up about the same time, but as
suddenly zubsided The air was filed
with a peculiar odor Of suIphurous
character.
These Incidents would have made but
slight impression .upan the mind of Mr.
Lumley, but FOR the fact that on the ensu.
ing day he discovered, at distance Of
about two miles from his camping place,
that. as far as he could see in either direc-
ton. a path had been cut through the for
est, several yards wide--giant trees up
rooted or broken of near the ground-the

that another letter adhered to it. In fact,
so tiahtly did the two letters stick together
that | was forced to tear the paper in

At first | was thunderstruck and then
followed a season Of bewi'dermeut but
GraduIIy the Fight broke in upon me. In
a little while was able to read the whole
story. | remembered that tafternoon when
came up from my mill and found the
batch of letters upon the desk. | remem-
bered how had found two private letters,

those two private letters and put them

Widows dwelling. The family had re-
tired; bat l called them up and when

and the sister sank Down upan their knees
in happy Thanksgiving.
On the following day George appeared
at the store, and helped me arrange my
affairs; and before another night it was
known all ohroaei4 the town that the dark
cloud had been lifted My 5rother-in-
