Thc I" Frost NOwe2.' of Russia
Produced IN 30 ton.

A Boston journal describes an extra
ordinary "frost tioWero of Russia which
has been produced, it is said, in Boston,
in a temperature of artificial cold, in the
following words: "This wonderful plant
or rather flower, is found only in the
northern boundaries of Siberia, where
the snow is eternal. 1t was discovered
i'm 1868 by Count Swinoskoh, the eminent
Russian botanist, who was ennobled by
the Gar for his discovery. Bursting
from the frozen snow on the first day of
the year, it grows to the height of three
feet, and flowers ON the third day, re-

then dissolves itself into its original

full Of fair promises that are always
broken, Of bright anticipations that are

wall of anguish that is evermore rising
from the earth, of the broken homes,
the bleeding hearts, the crushed hopes.

Confession end DEATH Of nn if.,s,y
fjsHUiuiN.

M. M. Pomeroy, the able editor of the
La Crosse Wis., Democrat, gives the
following death-bed scene, which he was
called to witness on his recent visit to
Chicago:
The Rev. Henry Clannard, an ex-
army chaplain who left off expounding
Bible and recruiting for the Saviour,
and by indorsing the Niger and abo-
litionists became an army chaplain in
one of the Wisconsin regiments, passed
from life to Il home beyond a blessed
immortality the other day, and thus
shuffled Off his mortal coil. "A physician
had called on him two or three times a
day for 4 month, doctoring him for an
ague brought on while stealing cotton in
Arkansas while with Gen. Curtis. On
learning that the eX-minister and eX-
chaplain would live the night out, we
called with the physician. In little
wooden looking room not over twelve
feet square, in an obscure boarding house
in Chicago was found the invalid. The
room was bare of furniture except Il
poor bed, little dirty Washstand, two
Wood-bottOm chairs, an old trunk, a
pine table, on which was spread a news
paper on which lay an old bible, /; pair
of old SHUTTERS, some pill-boxes, and
such stuff. The dying man Was propped
up in bed, while faithful negro woman
sat on the foot of the bed. As we enter
ed he rallied little and asked the doctor
who he had brought with him. On
being told that it was "Brick" Pomeroy,
he sank back, closed his eyes-rallied a
little and said: !" Perhaps it is as well.
He might as we'll know it as any one."
And he proceeded to make his dying
statement which was in these words, as

a remarkable case, in which y Boston
lady is now on trial before tle Superior
Court at Hartford, Connecticut. The
particulars are given by the Hartford
Post, as follows:
4 lady, Mrs. Deshon, nov Mrs. Mary
Jane Rand, residing in Boston, had a
boy by her first husband. The boy had
several singular marks on his person,
and also serious ilnpetlilnent in his
speech. When the child was five and
half years old it died suddenly while
its mother WAS asleep. The singular APP
pearance Of the boy led her to have an
autol 81 made, and she aft, rWafd prose-
cuted the attending physician and
apothecary who had furnished the medi-
cine. Rufus ChOate was her counsel at
this time. Some two OF three years
after Mrs. Rand Observeda child i'm BOs-
ton which resembled hers SO closely that
she followed it for some time, but finally
lost sight of it and its attendants. Two
years or more elapsed before she heard
of it again, and found that it was in the
Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb in this
city, being a charity pupil from the
State of Massachusetts. 4 picture Of
her husband, whom she claims was the
father of this child, was shown to him;
when he instantly exclaimed, as we'll as
he could, and in the presence of several
witnesses, "That's my father; he lives
in Boston,
\ careful examination has been made
of the boy by IL physician who attended
him during a three months sickness,
and he says that "God might havemade
two persons SO near alike, but that this
was the first instance of the kind that
had come to his knowledge." The
marks Of the boy now here correspond
exactly to the one he attended, and who
was afflicted with a serious rupture,
which the boy at the Asylum had also.
Mrs. Rand's testimony occupied the
court during the entire day, Tuesday,
and her counsel, Mr.. Eaton, has consde-
rable more testimony to introduce,
which, he thinks, cannot fail to convince
any reasonable person that the child of
Mrs. Rand was taken away whilst its
mother slept and another one substi-
tuted.
On the other hand, the putative
mother, Mrs. Phillips, Staples, Wilder
and Frost. she having married several
times, claims to be able to substantiate
her claim to the boy, who she says is
hers. by Mr.. Frost. He was admitted
to the Asylum some four years ago,
under the name of Edward Frost, and
is now thirteen years of a &c, and, as we
have said before, as a charity pupil Of
Massachusetts, but during this time his
mother, or she who claims to be such,
had paid little or no attention to him.
The case il one of the straRgest on
record, and will probably last for several
days, and great deal of interest is
manifested in the result.
