Mn. HALE-The case of the Spaniard, Nina,
as reported ina Philadelphia paper, brings to
my recollection facts relative to Mrs Chapman,
and her brother, Mark Winslow, now in the
State Prison of Massachusetts, which hereto
fore came TO my knowledge in the course of
official duty-and which may not he uninter-
esting to those who connected with the
present prosecution against the Spaniard
The family of Wnslow to which this woman
belonged, emgrated, many years ago, from the
town of Brewster, in the County of Barnstnble,
to the town of Barre in the County of Worcesc
ter In the year 1914 there existed band of
countcrfeiters, in the County of Worcester
with whom Edward Winslow, and (as it was be-
lieved} Mark Winslow, the two brothers of
Mrs. Chapman, were not only connected, but
considered as the principals of the band, in the
forgeries of Bank Bills, with which that part of
the country was then overwhelmed. 1t was
stated that they kept in their house at Barre,
all the tools and implements, used in the fabri
cation of these counterfeit bills, and that the
bills were issued by wholesale from that esiab.
lishment.
1t was also stated and believed that they had
a sister living with them at the time, who was
remarkably accomplished in penmanship, and
that the part assigned her in the fabrication oil
these bills, was the filling up the blanks IN
them.
In ms state oil things, prosecution was com
menced against Mark Wlnslow, and several oil
his accomplces, in the Supreme Judicial Court
in the County of Worcester, in the year lSl4
II was subslantated by evidence before the
Grand JurJ, that large bundles of those false
bills were found concealed in the house of the
Winslows, and in the stone wall adjoining to it
But such was the adroitness with which their
operations were conducted that no sufficient
positive evidence of their guilt could be obtain
ed
Finally, however, one of their accompiices
turned States evidence. His disclosures, on his
examination before the Grand Jury, and in pri
vate, were perfectly satisfactory and well cor
robnrated. The cases were ready for trial
when it was found that tho accomplish who Of
tered himselfas witness, had been bribed by
the defendants and had absconded. The con
sequence was, that Winslow and the other par
ties accused were discharged.
About two years ago, man was arrested in
Worcester for passing counterfeit Bank Bills
After his arrest and tho evidence of his gull
found upon him, no said to the officer who ar
rested him, "Mark Winslow is as guilty as
am; why do you not arrest him - The an
swer was "tell me where he is and il shall be
done. " The person arrested then said "ho il

BLACK SNAKE OF NEW ENGLAND

IL.
In New England, we believe The RLIcx
SNAKE usually attains 10 larger size than any
| other reptile. They have not unfIeouently
| been known to measure between six and seven
| feet in length and may be found in abund-
ance in the pastures Of this State in the months
of April and May. when they emerge from
their dens, and court the rays Of the noon day
sun. They may then be killed with but little
trouble. being somewhat torpid, and sluggish
in their notions They afterwards become
more active and shy and if seen in the sum-
mer months become instantly alarmed, and
glide away with The velocity Of race horse.
They are generally considered harmless and
ii is ascertalned that their bite is not venom
Gus: Instances have boeD known however of
their having attacked the human form d.
vine," without provocation, and they have
then proved themselves fearful enemy.
Several years since Mr.. ~, a gentleman of
Massachusetts,, was proceeding on foot from
Lynn to Lynnfield. Pursuing the shortest
route, his path for several miles lay through
the sterile pastures, bills and woods which
abound in that vicinity. He was walking lei
surely along, when his attention was attracted
by rustling among The bushes near him, and
two monstroIs black snakes, which he stated
10 have been seven or eight feet in length,
made their appearance, rushing towards him,
thrusting out their forked tongues while their
eye-bals seemed glowing with defiance and ire.
Having no means of defence, and being aware
that =" the better part of valor is discre-
tion," Mr. N. turned and fed from his enemies
as fast as his legs would carry him. His pur-
sueFs however, soon came up with him, and
one of them clingng to his boot, arrested his
farther progress The snake twined itself
around his leg, with its head reaching above
his knee-and seemed evidently attempting TO
gain his body, for the purpose of COMPRISING
him TO death. In this critical situation, Mr..
N fortunately retained his self. possession, and
drew penknife from his pocket, with which
he severed the body of his loathsome antago-
MIST It's companion escaped.
woodcutter in a neighboring town, was
once cutting down tree which stood near "a
ledge of rocks, which rose precipitately to the
height Of fifteen twenty feet. Suddenly a
large black snake sprung from the ledge above
him, and aghted on his shoulder, to the great
horror of the poor fellow. The snake began
to entwine itself around his body, which he at.
tempted to proven. by Selling The neck of the
snake, and striving with all his strength 10
compel it TO relinqnsh its hold. In this way,
this modern LAGOON struggled with the arch
enemy, and at last succeeded in releasing him
self from his grasp. The snake fed among
the bushes, and was soon out of sight. But
such an effect did this severe contest produce
upon the mind of the woodsman that for weeks
and months afterwards lie was constantly
haunted by visions of terror. During his sleep
lie would again realize all tho agonies which
he experienced during his conflict with the
serpent.

A RECEIPT FOR DRESSING SALAD.

BY THE REV. SIDNEY SMITH.
Two large potatoes, passed through kitchen sieve
Smoothness and soitncss to the salad give.
of modern mustard add single spoon,
Dstrust the condiment that bites too soon;
But deem it mot, thou man of herbs, fault,
To add double quantity of salt;
Four times the spoon with oil of Lucca crown,
And twice with vinegar procured from town.
True favor needs it, and your poet begs
The pounded yellow Of two well-boi.ed eggs.
Let onions atoms Turk within the bowl,
And scarce suspected, animate the whole:
And lastly in the favored compound toss
A magic spoonful of anchovy sauce.
O great and glorious, o! he-baceous treat,
'Twould tempt the dying anchorite to cat;
Back to the world he'd turn his weary soul,
And plunge his fingers in the salad bowl

Mr.. HALE,-As it is much more fashionable for

readers, although il possesses SO much excellence

EYES PUDDING.
If you want n good pudding mind what you are
taught
Take of eggs six in number when bought for great;
The fruit with which Eve her husband did cozen,
Well pared and well chopped, at least half dozen
Six ounces Of bread, let Mol cat the crust,
And crumble the rest as fine tho dust;
Six ounces of currants from the you must sort
Lest you break out your teeth and spoil all the sport
Six ounces of sugar wont make il too sweet
Some salt and some nutmeg will make 1t complete
Three hours let it boil without any flutter,
But a dan, wont like it without wine and butter.

Jnis direction was followed and proved to

co and convicted, and this is the offence for
which he Is now confined in the State Prison.
IT. is stated in the report for the Philadelphia
Bulletin that Mrs. Chapman resided a consid-
cradle time in Philadelphia previous to her
marriage 1t may not be amiss for the con-
ductors o. this prosecution against Nina to in
qulre' whether, during that time, she was not
employed by merchant in Philadelphia, in his
counting room on account of her superior attain
men's IN writing and figures, and whether she
was not at the very moment she was stepping
INTO the carrlage TO 90 off, detected of having
Pundered her employer, and of having forged
name to sundry notes Of hand
Tho TACT stated in the report. that band of
eounterielters were detected and arrested at
her house, is proof that she has usually associ-
ated with wretches of that description, and had
his probably been an accomplice with them.

Saw ye the grave where the infant sleeps
Bright flowers arc strown around him;
Know we the watch that his mother keeps,
In her nightly vigils round him
The shrine where oft she kncels in prayer,
The tomb of her lovely boy
And her funera! song swells on the air
The dirge of her earthly JOY
Loved sightless spirits dwell around us,
Borne on the shadowy air;
And the viewess chain that whiiom bound US,
Protracts the worlds despair.
See'st thou that tear in her clouded eye,
That reveals her nightly sorrow?
Oh, the love Of that mother cannot die,
Though she sleeps in her shroud tomorrow.
Twill ripen and glow where flowers are culled,
Without fading or loosing its brightness
A heaven of light where sorrow is ulled,
And the spirit goes off in its brightness.
