\ Tl.s Montpelier (yt) Journal says that
mot thousand miles from White River
Junction, serious comic affair occurred,
which made the parties to the joke laugh
out Of the other side of their mouths. A
correspondent. who describes the affair,
says :-"Thcy have got up the funniest
snarl across the river that you. ever heard
of. At party last week ut ,one---'s, at
ter exhausting the ordinary games, and
wanting something new, mock marriages
were proposed. Accordingly names were
drawn BY lots, and four couples stood up
to be married. The ceremony was per
formed, and they duly pronounced man
and wife, by the laws of the State and be-
fore these Witnesses Afterward they as
certsined tho man officiating was justice
| of the peace, and the parties were legally
married. They are in the greatest alarm
about 1t that ever was. One Of them Pro-
fessor---, of T-----seninary, expects Ia.
dy up from below in about a fortnight to
marry him, and nearly every one involved
is expecting to be married right away; one
other gentleman to lady below, and they
feel like death. They have searched all
the law books and consulted authorities
far and near, and everything only proves
the knot stiIl tighter. The Justice Ia,

not do business here, and supposed th.
marriges not to be legal. 1t is certainly .

are legally married, and can only be di'
vorced by the Legislature. a

ANIMAL AND VEGETABLE BARoMETERs.
The sensibility of many animals and
plants to the varying condition of the ut
mosphere is 80 great that careful study of
their movements will often, indicate with
certainty approaching changes in the wealth
er. When storm is pending the spider
shortens the threads of his web, and length
ems them again when the storm is about to
pass off careful observers even pretend to
foretell' how long fine weather will last
from the degree to which the web is extcn-
died. IF the spider is quiet, 1t is sign of
rain, but when he goes to work during q
shower, be sure it will soon clear of. The
swallow is also an infallibls barometer, fly-
ing low, almost touching the earth, and ut
tering o low, .plaintive cry before rain,
but sailing back and forth high in the air
during settled weather; when violent
tempest is about to break out he scars even
to the clouds, and adopts slow, majestic
motion, very different from his ordinary
one.
In pleasant weather the crow will at any
time leave her nest in search of food; but
if she feels storm approaching, nothing
will tempt her off till her mate takes her
place to protect her young. The peacock
foretells rain Dy its frequent cries INC
wood-pccker by its cooings; the paro-
luet by its chattering, and the guinea fowl
by its going to roost. The goose manifests
great uneasiness, plunging into the water
and rapidly returning to the land. The
! seagulls seek the shore and are only seen
far inland in unsettled weather. The petrol,
ON the contrary, dashes out boldly into the
midst ofstorm and tempest. The chirp OF
the cricket is sign of fair weather, but

a Tennessee GHOST Story.

The following is from one of our CORES
pondents in Fentress county. 1t is certain
mysterious affair. Readers will form
their own conclusion f.,t.ts o.! .h1s5s
On the evening of the 12th inst, about
one and q ha3f miles south of jamestown,
young lady by the name of Albertson
distinguished for her piety, prudence and
veracity, had occasionto go to the spring,
short distance from her fathers residence
about the time the sun was setting; and as
she states herself, never thought of being
afraid, for she was always characterized for
courage beyond her sex. Miss Albertson
went tripping along the frequented path,
apprehensive of no danger whatever, car
rying o bucket on each arm and singing q
favorite sorg, When che she reached the
spring, it being small stream, she had to
wait some time for her buckets to be re.
plenished !; so she placed the VESSEL under
the spout, sat down on stone near by,
still singing, and on arising to receive her
burden and wend her way home she saw
standing Before her the figure of man,
with arms extending upward shining as a
flame of fire. The girl says the light which
was reflected from this mysterious visitor
cleaned and sparkled against the snow on
the hillside before her. While she stood
trembhngly gazing upon the radiant i'm
age 1T spoke in clear and audible tone,
"Be not afraid then it began to ascend
and was soon lost in distance above the
trees. The girl made haste to evacuate
her position, reaching home in few min.
utss; exhausted pale and trembling, rela-
ting the circumstances to her parents, and
cannot since be prevailed on to revisit thu
scene Of so much terror to her unless quite
number of persons accompany her.
No one has been able to comprehend Of
or even conjecture what the strange visitor
{, was or what was it's mission. No one hal
the slightest idea that the young lady dis
sembles in regard to the mysterious fgura
because they know she 10 incapable Of any
thing so wicked or debasing; therefore

Nero, who set fire to Rome, that he
might amuse himself with the wailings and
lamentations which this calamity inspi-
red, and insulted Heaven by offering
thanksgivings to the gods after numbering
his wife and his mother; Tiberius, who
delighted in torturing his subjects, and
massacreing them in the most cruel man
ner; Caligula, celebrated in the annals OF
folly, cruelty and impiety, who murdered
many ofhis subjects with his own band,
and caused thousands who were guilty OF
no crimes to be cruelty butchsred; Anti
ochus Epiphanes, who butchered forty
thousand OF the inhabitants of Jerusalem
in cold blood, and rushed forward, like an
Internal demon, with the intention of de-
stroying every inhabitant of Judea; Hamil-
car, who. threw all the prisoners that came
into his hand, to be devoured by wild
beasts Asdrubal, who put out the eyes of
all the Roman captiyes he had taken du-
ring the two years, cut off their noses, fin
gers, legs and arms, tore their skin to
pieces with non rakes and harrows, and
threw them headlong from the top of his
battlsments; Jenghiz Khan, who caused
seventy chiefs to be thrown into as many
cauldrons Of boiling water, and took pleas
ure in beheEhng his army beheading a
hundred thousand prisoners al once; Tam
erlane, who displayed his sportive cruelty
in pounding three or four thousand people
in lhpge mortars or building them among
bricks and mortar into wall; Mustapha,
who treacherously murdered the Venetian
officers after having entered into q treaty
with them, and who beheld with delight
the noble minded Bragradino, whom he
had cruelty tortured, flayed alive; Buona-
parte, whose mad ambition sacrificed SO
many millions of human beings. Nero, in
the beginning of his reign, showed several
MARKS Of he greatest kindness, condescen-
sion, affability, complaisanoe, and popular
ity. When he was desired to sign his
name to a list of malefactors that were to
be executed, he exclaimed: "Would to Hea-
ven, p could not wite!" Caligula began
to reign VITA every promising appearance
of becoming tile real father Of his people.
Tiberius at first concealed his thoughts
under the mask of an impenetrable dissim-
ulationi. He governed with moderation,
and even appeared to excet in modesty.
But afterwards when these individuals be-
came intoxicated with power. and had
ttlgown aside oil considerations of morali-
ty ind decorum, the latent principles Of
lnalignity burst forth ia all their violence,
till they became scourge end an execra-
ton to mankind.
