During the past three weeks, we have had a
continued prevalence of wet weather which
has extended hrCughout the country, and our
recent accounts from the interior give serious ap-
prehensons that the Cotton crops will be materi-
ally injured therefrom; the rot had also showed
itself in many pacas, and was doing much mis-
chief
As We are, however, persuaded that material
increased growth has been planted during the
past Spring, we have DO doubt still but that the
crop will be abundant or, at all events, there is
no fear of any scarcity Of Cotton.

Melancholy Oceurenee.--Aiost Of our readers
have doubtless seen the account published in our
paper of the I'd inst ola Rattle Snake in the keep.
ing Of Mr.. John II. Bobbit, at Person Court
House. During the last week the editor OF this
paper IN company with several respectable gen.
,lemen attending Person Superior Court, visited
on Tuesday morning, the house occupied by MIR.
b. for the purpose of seeing what was to US ma
tural curiosity. Mr.. Bobbt willing to crafty US
took the reptile out of the cage with his hand and
held IT By the neck. On account Of the approach
Of cold weather. it had almost arrived at its torpid
state and appeared quite docile. which to its keep
er was mistaken for tameness After having been
cautioned by one of the company Of the danger to
which he was exposing himself, we left him. In
the evening" standing not far from the shop OF MIR.
Bobbil the editor was informed that the snake had
bitten its keeper; in few minutes we went to Mr..
BIS shop, and found him in great agony, this was
near sunset, before midnight Mr.. B. was a corpse
We are indebted to one Of the attending physl.
clans tor the following particulars of this melan-
chuly affair.
1.-The deceased was tot bitten by the snake as
was at first supposedly those who were not pre-.
sent; lie told our informant, at the time when ms
mouth and tongue were SO much swollen that he
could scarcely articulate; =. that the snake did not
do II intentionally.'' Those who were present
say that Mr.. Bobbit had the snake out showing it
to them, holding il in his left hand. rather loose-
ly, that by an effort Of the snake TO draw his head
back, one Of its fangs came in contact with one
of Mr.. BIS fore fingers about half an inch below
the upper joint; he dropped the snake but inme-
dlately picked 1t up, put 1t IN the cage and com.
menced sucking the wound. A physician was
called In and saw the deceased in three minutes
alter the accident: his eyes were then red-his
lips swollen and quiverins--he said he should die,
and was in she act Of falling, when he was assist.
ed TO bed. In ten minutes afterwards, every
muscle in the system appeared affected with a
.twitching which continued until he died. Vomlt-
Ing commenced in ten minutes after the accident
aud continued for an hour. No pulse was disco

currence took place.
lie appeared to be sensible of all that was PASS.

which time his breathing became more difficult,
which continued to Increase until he breathcd his

autumn OF 1880, she arrived las she alledged, at

her to this city. The baggage she brought with
her was SO bulky as To require one or two draws,
and appeared as If the owner had in reality Just
landed from on ship-board. Anderson introduc-
ed her TO his family as a sister, and she passed by
the name OF Miss Anderson. She continued to

Evacuation Day.-Yesterday the forty -eighth
anniversary of the Evacuation Of this city by the
British troops, was celebrated with more than or
binary military pomp. The day was well suited
for parade. and the uniformed volunteer troops
turned out in very great numbers. About o..
clock, p. Nj. they passed in review before Major
General Morton. General Santander, His Honor
the Mayor and the Members of the Corporation.
After which they fired fen de joie and were dis
missed. The various evoIutions which the citi-
zen soldiers went through. were performed with
precision equal to that which might be expected
from those TO whom military movements are pro-
fession. The National Flag 6oated proudly over
the City Hall, the Theatres, and other places in
the City, and at night all the places of public
amusement were brilliantly illuminated.

omctry, History, Rhetoric, Composition,
Natural Philosophy, Chemistry, Intel
lectual Philosophy, and Linear Drawing

Scholars possessing books on the same
subjects by other authors, may in some
cases find it unnecessary to change.
The members of the Seminary will be
arranged in three classes. None are ex-
pccted to attend whose minds are not
sufficiently matured to be classed in
Writing, Grammar, Geography, and
Mental Arithmetic.
The Seminary will be open the ensu-

each. Price of tuition in the first or
highest class, S. per term; the second
and third $4, to be paid in advance.
Books Of Reference, Maps, Globes,
&c. accessible at the Seminary.
The particular object proposed in the
former Prospectus, was to lead the scho-
lars not merely to memorise, but to un-
derstand those subjects which should
from time to time occupy their attention
and in the course Of instruction that will
in future be pursued, effort will be made
to produce the same desirable result.
From our acquaintance with the character and
requirements Of Miss GOULDING, and her sue
ces, in teaching, we would express our entire
confidence in her ability to instruct in the branches
specified in the preceding Prospectus; and from the
specimen Of improvement exhibited on the exami-
nation of the Young Ladies recently under her in
struction, we believe that those who may hereaf
ter be placed at this SEMINARY, will make such
attainments in useful knowledge, will be gratiy
ing to those Interested.

VOICE.
From Mr.. BeRnei's "SoFgs Of Solitude"
There's music 10 mether's voice,
More sweet than breezes signing;
There's kindness in a mothers glance,
Zoo pure for ever dying
There's love within mothers breast,
So deep, It's still o'crIlowing,
And care for those she calls her own,
That's ever, ever growing
There's anguish in mothers tear
When farewell fondly taking
That so the heart of pity moves,
1t scarcely keeps from breaking
Aud when A mother kneels to Heaven,
And for her child ia praying,
Oh. who shall half the iervour tell
That burns in all she's saying!
A mother, how her tender arts
Can soothe The breast OF sadness
And thro' the gloom of life once more
Bid shine the sun Of 6ladness.
A mother! when like evenings star,
Her course hath ceased before u.s.,
From brighter worlds regards US stub
Aud watches fondly Ger US.
