Noise and I'lii-uuiiiciiou of railing Mountain Ice. Those who for t!i lirst time have explored among the higher mountain raugos of the earth in the season of early summer, snys the Glasgow Herald, have doubt less been perplexed at the appar ent tiring of cannons at various points amid those snow covered mountain peaks and pyramids; a great volume of white smoke be ing observed to issue from a lofty emiuence, soon followed by aloud report as of heavy artillery. It is soon realized that these explo sions are vast avalanches of snow, which having partly lost cohesion by the increasing heat of sum mer, are dislodged by their in herent weight, and fall from precipice with thundering rever beration, the apparent smoke be ing volumes of powdery snow lis charged high m the air each time the ponderous mass is shatered against some rocky obstruction. To the spectator ata distance the phenomenon is sufficiently grand and startling, especially if obser ved through a powerful tele scope; but if by any means, whether from a balloon or other wise, an avalanche could be wit nessed from a short distance through its whole course the spectacle -must be awe inspiring and appalling. At lirst a mass of snow perhaps a few acres in extent, and weighing many hun dreds of thousands of tons, slips away from the steep slope on which it was deposited, and with a terrific roar the mighty muss bounds over a precipice uprear ed a thousand feet or more from the lower plateaux. The stupen dous impact with the snow be neath on this slanting declivity must cause the very rocks to tremble and quiver, aud raises a deuse cloud of particles of frozen snow; the wliole mass then doubl ed in volume, madly rolling down the slope with ever enhanced impetuosity. Continually augmenting iu bulk and with more aud moro acceler ated velocity the great colossal avalanche now plunges down-. ward in its headlong career of de struction with a wild momentum which nothing can withstand. It has left the snow line, lias cut a great avenue through a pino for est, breaking down trees like matchwood, and in a few mo ments, with a grinding crash, an entire hamlet or village beneath is wholly submerged, splintered in ten tnousana fragments, ana utterly obliterated from the face of the earth; though the warn ing roar may probably have pre- monished the inhabitants to flee for their lives. This, however, is not always practicable, and it is related that on one occasion no fewer thau 100 Austrain soldiers were suddenly overwhelmed by a prodigous ava lanche which entombed the entire battalion in a snowy sepulcher.

An exchange remarks that at no season of the year is the ap peal to keep things clean more potent than now. It is the sea son of the year when the early vegetables decay in the garden and when the hidden or neg kc ed "filth of the back yards aud al- leys becomes most offensive. The weeds that come up from ov. ery gutter and alley and other neglected tlaces should not be permitted to become unsightly, much less unhealtnv. Weeds are a great biding place for filth and should not be allowed to grow in public or private places. Let our citizens and tho Board of Health give this matter their attention. Clean up and purify. the town. Cleanliness Is next to Godliness, ! and this old saw should become I popular with all at the present time.

The geuuine is aiways bettor then a counterfeit, but tho truth of this statement is never more forcibly realized or more thor oughly appreciated than when you compare the genuine DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salvo with tho many counterfeits and worthless sub stitues that are on tho market. W. S. Led better, of Shreveport, La., says: "After using numer ous other remedies without beue fit, one box of DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve cured me."
