THE SPIDER.

ASTONISHING CURTosITY.-On the even.
ing OF 18th ut gentleman in this village
founc N his wine cellar, q live striped
snake, inches long, suspended between
two she Ives. by the tail by SPIDERS web.
The snake hung 80 that he could not reach
the shelf below him by about an inch and
several large spiders were then upon him
sucking his juice. The shelves were about
two feet apart; the lower one was Just be-
low the bottom OF the cellar window, thro'
which the snake probably passed through
into it. From the shelf above in the shane
OF an inverted cone, 8 or 10 inches IN diam.
eter at the top and concentrated to a focus
about or inches from the under side of
this shelf. From this focus there was a
strong cord made of the multiplied thread
of SPIDERS web, apparently as large as
common sewing silk, and by this cord the
snake was suspended.
Upon critical examination througn n
magnfylng glass. the following curious
facts appeared. The mouth of the snake
was fast tied up, by a great number cords
wound around 1t, so tight that he could not
run out his tongue. His tail was tied in
knot, SO as to leave small loop or ring,
through which the cord was fast ened and
the end of the tail above the loop to the
length of something like over half an inch
was dashed fast to the cord, to keep it from
slipping. As the snake hung, the length
OF the cord, from the tail 10 the focus to
which it was fastened, was about six inch.
es; little above the tail there was observ.
ed round ball about the size of a pea
Upon inspection, this appeared to be a green
fly around which cord had been fastened
20 the cords above, and from the rolling
tide of the ball to keep it from unwnding
and letting the snake down. The cord
therefore, must have extended from the
focus ofthe web to the shelf below, where
the snake was lying when first captured !;
and being made fast to the loop in his tail,
the fly was carried aud fastened about mid.
way 10 the side Of the cord. And then BY
bowling this fly over and over, it wound
around it, both from above and below, until
the snake was raised to the proper height,
and then was fastened as before mentioned.
in this situation the poor snake hung,
alive. and furnishing continued feast for
several large spiders, until Saturday after
noon the 10th, when some person, by play.
ing with him, broke the web above the TO-
Gus, so as to let part Of his body rest on the
shelf below. In this situation he fingered,
the spiders taking no notice of him, until
Thursday last, eight days after he was dis
covered. when some large ants were found
devouring his dead body.-Batauia (N ~

INDIAN COMMENTARY.

Cast thy bread upon the waters for thou shalt
find it after many days.-EccI. XII.
Some years ago one of the preachers Of
the Mohegan tribe Of Indians, which tribe
is situated on the Thames, between Nor.
wich and New London. was preaching on
the above text. To illustrate his subject
and enforce the doctrine of Charity, he
brought forward a circumstance that trans
PRED in his early days. To use his Ian.
guage, he observed-"A certain man was
going from Norwich to London with a
loaded team; on attempting to ascend the
bill where Indian lives, he found his team
could not draw his load, he came to Indian
and got him TO he p him up with his oxen.
After he had got up he asked Indian what
was to pay. Indian tell him to do as much
for somebody else. Sometime aferward,
Indian wanted canoe-he went up She
tucket river, found tree and made him
one. When he got it done he could not
get it into the river. Accordingly he went
to man and offered him all the money he
had if he would 90 and draw it into the
river for him. The man observed, he
would 60. After getting it to the river,
Indian offer TO pay him. No, said the
man; Don't you recollect SO loog ago
helping man up the hill by your house.
Yes. Well, | am the mnn-there take
your canoe and 60 home" So find it
after many days.-Rel. Messenger.
