Showers of frogs, of fishes, of blootlj rain and snow have frequently occur red. The last sensation, however, "the fall of flesh in Kentucky," otters some features of special interest. In 1537, while Paracelsus was en gaged in the production of his "Blixir of Life," he eainc across a very strange looking vegetable mass, to which he gave the name of "Nostoca' The want of raid transportation combined with the pcri.-diabie nature of the substances fallen, have hitherto prevented a complete and exhaustive examination. A specimen cf the "Kentucky shower,'- however, reached this city (what city?) well preserved in glycerine, and it has been compar atively easy to identify the substance and to fix its status. "The "Kentucky wonder" is nothing more nor less than the "Xostoc," of the old alchemist. The "Xostoc" belongs to the conferva?; it consists of translucent gelatinous bodies joined together by thread-like tubes, or seed-bearers. There are about fifty species of this singular plant classified; two or three kinds have even been found in a fossil state. Like other conferva, the "ostoc" propogates by self-division as well as by seeds or spores. When these spores work their way out of the gelatinous envelope they "may be wafted by the winds here and there, and they may be carried great distances. Wherever they may fall, and find congenial soil, viz : dampness, or re cent rain, there they will thrive and spread very rapidly, and many cases are recorded where they have covered miles of ground in a ve.y lew hours with long strings of "Xostoc." Onaccountof this rapidity of growth people almost everywhere faithfully Mieve "Nostoc" to fall from the clouds, and ascribe to it many myste rious virtues. The plant is not con fined to any special locality or to any climate; sown by the whirlwind, car lied by a current of air, in need of moisture only for existence and sup port, it thrives everywhere. Icebergs afloat in mid-ocean have been found covered with it. In New Zealand it is found in large masses of quaking jelly, several feet in circumference, and cov ering miles of damp soil ; and in our oivn country it may be found in damp woods, on meadows, and on marshy or even gravelly bottom. All the "Nostocs" are composed of a semi-liquid cellulose and vegetable proteine. The edible "Nostoc" is highly valued in China, where it forms an essential ingredient of the edible bird-nest soup. The Cesh that was supposed to have fallen from the clouds in Kentucky is the flesh-colored "Nos toc," (X. carheum oi the botanist) ; the flavor of it approaches frog or spring chicken legs, and is greedily devoured by almost all domestic ani mals. Such supposed "showers" are not rare, nnd are entirely in harmony with natural laws. In the East Indies the same "Nostoc" is used as an applica tion in ulcers and scrofulous diseases, while every nation in the Bast consid ers it nourishing and palatable, and uses it even for food when dried by sun heat. Acrobatic Mice. The land office of the Kansas Pacific, at Kansas City, has been ravaged by mice and rats. Hare specimens of wheat, rye, corn, oats and other grain sent from along the road for a Centennial display were ruthlessly destroyed as fast as brought in. Poison, cats and traps proved unavailing to stop the raid3. llocdel heiiner. the agent, stretched wires across the room, and to these he hung his bunches of grain. He felt sure he liad thwarted his pestiferous torment ors. But they still continued to husk his choice samples. The other night he lay down upon the table beneath his wheat and oats, and kept watch. Abouteleven o'clock a file of diminutive mice ran up one corner of the room to the ceiling. Here the detachment separated into three parts. On section up the gas pipe, another following a pine board nailed along the side of the wall, and another went to the top of a plain pine partition. Those that went along the pipe traveled over it sideways until they came directly over the wires sus taining the prize bunches :" those that missed and fell started roiwid to try it again. Those that went along the pine plank, Kodelheiraer says, were small mice ; he thinks they were fe males. They started on the tight wire and balanced themselves upon it with the skill of accomplished acrobats, and went down into the prize with case. The third detachment, llocdelheimcr 6ays, were strong fellows ; male he thinks. They started on the run and jumped from the top of the partition to the wires and caught hold of the wheat sheaves as they llew through the air. Not one out of five missed catch ing hold. As fast as they filled them selves they dropped down upon the table and started home. Lamp Chimney's. Glass chimneys for lamps may bo made more durable by tempering them before putting them to use thus: Place the chimneys in a kettle filled with cold water, then heat gradually to boiling, and keep the water at boiling heat half an hour. Remove the kettle from the fire and leave the chimneys in the water until j partly cooled, when the chimneys may be taken out. This seasoning or tem pering makes them much less liable to split by changes from ccld to heat. Until the malleable glass of which we pd comes into creneral use. this sim .VO;i 'Of'.''

Tho principal part of tho battle was fought about a mile and a half not th west of tho village on the road to Englishtown. Cap tain Molly was buried sit Meeting-houso Springs, on the banks of the Ooimoilogwi net creek, a tributary of thr? Susquehanna, two miles not th west of Cmlible. Major Andre was at one time during the war a prisoner at Cm lisle, and was, on his parole, permitted to go three miles from town, and this very spot where Captain Molly is bur ied was a favoiita resort of his, and it. is said he was fond of making hketches of tho place. Thero is also a story told of his saving a young lady's life near this spot by seizing the reins of her runaway horse as the animal was about lo dash over thobluft" overhanging' the creek. The battle of 'Monmouth was one of tho bloodiest focglit dining tho Revolution. Twenty thousand men were engaged. Washington, Lafayette, AVayne, Green, Morgan, Lee, and other distinguished Atnei iean officers were present. Tho Eng lish were commanded by Sir Henry Clin ton. 1 ho balLle commenced before dawn, aud continued all day, ending in the defeat of the English. About two o'clock r. M. a desxcratc struggle ensued between Green's btigade and the Hessians and Grenadiers, com mantled by Col. Moncton. It was at this juncture that an Irish wome.n, seeing her husband fall, rushed up to tho gun, snatched the rammer from his dying grasp, charged and fired the piece right into tho facts of tho advancing English, and con tinued to do so until the battle as won. Lossir.g thus describes tho occmrencc in Lis Pictorial Field-book ot the Revolution, vol. 11, page SCI : "It was during this part of tho action thnl Molly, tho wife of a cannonier, dis played great courage and presence of mind. We have already noticed her bravery in tir ing the last gun at Fort Clinton. She was a sturdy young camp-follower, only twenty-two years old, and in devotion to her husband sho illustrated the chatneter of her country-women of tho Emerald Isle. In the action in question, while her hus band was managing one of the held pieces she constantly brought him water from a fpiing nearby. A shot from the enemy killed Lira at his post; aud the ofllccr in command, having no one competent to fill bis place, ordered the piece to be with drawn. Molly saw her husband fall as she canto from tho spring and also beard the oi lier. She dropped her bucket, seized the rammer, and vowed she would rill the place of her husband at tlie gun and avenge his death. She performed the duty with a .skill and courage which attracted the atten tion of r,U who saw her. On tho following morning, covered with blood, General Greene presented her to Washington, cvho, admiring her bravery, confciretl upon her tho commission of Sergeant. By his rec ommendation her namo was placed in '.he list of half paj' officers for life. After leaving the army she retired to Fort Mont gomery, among tho Ilui'-on highlands, where ho iilrd. She usually weni, by the tvimo of 'Cnptain.' The venerable widow of General Hamilton, yet living (18G2), told me that sho had often seen Captain Molly. She described herns tall, fair-haired young Iii.-li woman, with a handsome, piercing eye. Tho Fiench fiioer.s, charmed with ihestotyof her bravery, made her many presents. She would sometimes pas along the Frouch lines with Lcr cocked hat, and almot-t get it filled with crowns." E. Ion:,ei.t.y, 11. D. MnitK Pat.i llEADr.n as He viias Dkn.

'Mad har Sahib was almost undressed his arms were quite bare. lie turned his basket down and chatted at it, theu turned it over, and lo ! thero was an egg on tho car pet, which was banded round to be looked at. Then he put tho basket over tho egg and chatted at it again, turned it over, and lo ! out walked a pretty pigeon, fo tamo that it allowed itself to bo caught by tho hand. Next, -Madhar produced another egg from beneath the basket ; any one could see that the latter was a thin, frail composi tion, without cover or false bottom. Then, after incantations, ho raised tho basket, and out etiutlcd the first pigeon and an other exactly like it, aud went pouting over to iho spectators. Poolco, who came next, converted hirn pelf into a magazine of honors ; took live rcrrp'ons, which he handled with impunity, out of his mouth ; spat out stones as large as plums, one after the other, or showed them between his lips and swallowed them; then evolved from depths unknown a car penter's fchop, full of nails. Urge and small, and coils of string, till there was a pile of bis products before tho Prince.
