A NATURAL Ice HOUSE. The Bur
lington Free Press says 'sChittenden,
Vt, is boasting over a sort Of natural
ice house Which has hitherto been com
paratively little known. The place is a
narrow gorge with rocky sides extend
ing down about 20 feet and arched over
head with trees. Here an abundant
quantity of clear. solid ice can be found
during tie hottest season of the year.
at the upper end OF the gorge is clear
spring of water, from which the ice is
formed in winter, filing the fissures and
crevice between the rocks at the bottom
of the ravine. This is the ice house for
the people il the vicinity. and here they
obtain their supply. Last year ice was
taken out in September, and there is
reason to believe that it lasts during the
whole year. The atmosphere in the
vicinity of the gorge is cooled by lis
frozen treasures, and when the wind is
in the right direction a change in tenn
perature is apparent half mile distant
At a watering trough by the roadside Sc
rods away. fed directly from the ice bed,
men and beasts alike are refreshed with
real ice water"

SrARrLING SEQUEL OF RoBBEe1ES. -
During the last year there have taken
place III Roseville, Pa, three robberies
by masked band The first took place
about one year ago, when blacksmith
named Monroe, who had been paid So,
500-a le6acy-was surprised at mid
night in his house by three masked men
who b. threats and torture compelled
him to hand over the whole of the above
amount. 4 few months later the Office
Of Webbcr'B extensive tannery was bro

February last, five men, masked, effect
ed an entrance into the house of Francis
Bellman, an old German miser living a
mile out of the village, and by burning
the old man with wisps of straw, and
holding him over the fire, and subject
ing him to other cruel treatment, they
compelled him to deliver up to them

Tie ANCESTOR OF hIAN-Inreference to
the question, from which of the quad
rumanna did man originate! Professor
Haecke1, i'll his recent work ''The His
tory OF Creation, gives his opinion that
the human race is small branch Of The
group of catar7Aiili, and. has developed
out Of long since extinct apes Of this
group in the old world. And when on
this subject he refers to Professor
Huxley's remarks, which show that a
man is, nearly as much as the ape, Ii
four-handed animal; for various tribes
of men, the Chinese boatmen, the Ben
galee workmen and the negroes when
climbing use tile great toe in the same
manner as a monkey, and therefore the
possession of only a single pair OF arms
is not to be looked on as a characteristic
of the human race. He also points out
fact necessary to be observed By IN
solantific people, namely, that none of
the manliize apes are to be regarded as
the parent of the human race, but that
Ike the -progenitors of the human are
long since extinct. In concluding his
work Professor Haecllel remarks on the
desire Of some who are not actually op-
ponents of the doctrine Of descent.
'.They wait, he says" the sudden dis
covery OF human race with tails, or of
talking speciesof apes" But such a
manifestations, the author observes,
would not furnish the proof desired and
unthinking persons would be provided
with as satisfactory q arguments as they
employ nowadays in hurting their de-
fance against all who are cvolutionists.
