re On the east bank of the North river,
2, Hampshire county, West Virginia, is a
ice mountain from 400 to 500 feet high
80 The western side of this mountain is coy
i cred with loose stone, Ota light color, frOl
"a base to summit. BY removing this stOn
pure, solid, crystal ice can be found in Il
warmest days of summer, and II has bee
found there as late as the middle of Sci
TENDER. 1t may exist throughout the el
IL tire year if the rocks were removed to
sufficient depth. What seems strange
- that the side OF the mountain where the il
d is found Is exposed to the sun throughol
4 the day, and it is said the sun does n
l. have as much effect in melting the ice
continuous rains.

from the root of his nose that if a strea
- Ofwater were poured perpendicularly u
. Oh his brow, more OF it would run off
le face. His organs of intellection, if he ev
had any, have vacated, and taken up the
O. abode in the pOsterior part of his brai
IS, which makes the cerebellum appear like
er market basket hung to the back fhis hea
His teeth seem to be all gone, and his guI
close up to keep his chin out of danger.
10 His nose looks like the butt end of bio
nc beet, and his eyes look like anger holes
- a muskmelon rind."
