Tuning Of Rahlesnakes md other sefpcnts.
DIR. Samuel Mitchell, Of \. !. makes
the following observations on the eXhlbl-
llon of Dir. Neale, VINO lately visited several
uf the southern CITIES.
The superiority Of man over the animal
creation has bern cyinccd ia nuniberless
ways but IN none perhaps more remark
able than acquiring an assccndefry otsr
the most poisonous reptiles Yet n,ad 10y
the name of Nealc, now IN New York has
succeeded ia this Extraordinary peifurm-
auct.
| had read the account published At
Richmond, In Virginia, on the Sd Sept. OF
thls exhibition, aud had considered II as
a recital Of some of the most singular or
currcnces in tie animal world. My curt
osily, thus excited, has since been fully 81
tisfdcd by this tanner ofratllcsnakrs. This
person Of more than Orphean skill, has ar
rived in this city With his creatures.
1t is very desirable that the memoir Ia
which refer should be published, lnasmuch
as it contains plain .tatnlnent oil the
facts, however surprising 1t may seem to
the reader who, if he cnterlalns doubts
may remove then by behOidln,, the epectd-
! Gle.
There is no deception in this case both
the ratllesnlles seem to know Alr. Neale,
and 10 obey his yoicc-thcy even show an
attachment lo him. He opens their
months, and permits the beholder to see
that the fanss by which the venom IS m
/ troduced into a bite, are actually there, and
have not been drawn out or moved yet he
talks to them, handles them, carrsses them,
aud let them wind ronnd his neck and a.
yer his face, without the smallest aPprehen-
| sion.
Naturalists and others, who wish infof-
mntion about this race of animals, 50 shnn-
ned and ablorrcd by human being, may
obtains it with singular advantage from THIS
original observer. There is reason Ia be
! licve he possesses a more intimate acqualn-
lance with the manners, habits, way of life
and art of DEMONSTRATING serpcnts, tlail any
man living.
He can explain the remarkable faculty
termed fascination, the method of casting
tirir skins and the mode of taking then
prey; and swallowing Their food, Ills
| remarks oa their digestive powers, and
on their sense of smell, hearing aud sight
well merit the attention Of the physlologlsi
