In the st purbs of the grdinarily quiet

iff Hayzlette, with a nuinber of citizens
proceeded to the hou.ue -to make itaesti- 1 s

This visit was made on last Thursday,
and altheugh the cliains had been tc-

• -as had been stated by the -
ing children -that he was starved. un-
til he. was oblieea to eat fleas. He WKS q
alSO seen to pick the rags from off his
scanty garments and eat them.
He had been kept in. this way secre-
ted, and until recently unknown to
even the nearest neighbors. For over
six months they have kept him'in this
.condition, and allege, as an excuse, for
tatir brutal treatment, that' he was stile

he would get away- and annoy his neigh-
bors. But those wire saw and talked
with him were convinced that the cause
,of these fits (if the parent:3 story is cor-

he received at their.hands. His entire
person .showed aiunistaaable evidences
of cruel beating, as well as starvation,
until he was al1110SG gone.
A few days or weeks of similar treat-

had been witnesses to the -whole affair,
Pined .to entreat the officers to defer
the execution of the other brother un-
til the Queen'pleasure should be

The request being complied with, the
City Chamber that very night drew up
a *very feeling and pathetic address to
her lkiajesty,setting forth the rinperalel-

humbly entreated her Majesty's pardon

pardoned and dischated from the army.

the mysterious .element of this fall was
dispelled, - it was clear that the rusty
particles'were1 really dust specks drawn
by the wind from African deserts and
borne With it across the Mediterranean.
This is not an unexpected phenomenon.
Twenty years ago a French philosopher
collected a large quantity of the same
malty, and probably from the same
source, frum a hoese top at Valen,ce ;
and, again, a German found the pecu-
liar African grit in Berlin. These faets
show how pests and plagues, and the
Zerms of -diseases may be carried from
country to countey by the tiansporting
power of the wind ; it is not ialways in-
animate dust that is thus wafted to im-
ineihe distan.cee. A shower of insects
fell at Araches, in Savoy, last Januaty,
which, uuon examination, proved to be
a species peculiar to the foiests of Cen-
tral France; and a few yeacs back, Tur-
in was visited by millions of fly found

the summit of the glacier. I believe
nothing could possibly be finer than the

Unhappily for our complete sense of
comfort, the glacier was less disposed
to be neighborly than we, for he set up
a, terrnle fusilane the moment we got
there; and besides some thousands of
tons of ice whicli, at intervals, broke
from the ice,
seven icebergs, one after
another, rolled their unwieldy forms in-
to the sea, and set the waves upon us at
such a terrible rate_ that we were
glad enough to get to a safer plaee of
refuge.
