A SNAKE AND FISH STORY.

Snake stories are proverbiaIIy large,
and so are fish stories; but the follow.
ing. being q compound Of the Two, does
not rest under the same imputation.-
1t was told TO US as truth:
man, fishing in one Of the ponds in
a neighboring county, this past summer,
waded out some distance into the pond
in order 10 throw his hook further into
the water. He noticed here and there
a water snake about him, but, as thew
were common in the pond, he thought
nothing OF it. As he hooked fish after
fish, however, and hung them upon a
string over his shoulder, he noticed that
the snakes about him increased IN NUN.
Der and boldness, and commenced swim.
ming about bin in rather close prox-
nifty to his legs, They seemed to bn
eyeing the fish al his back with verv
eager looks. At length they began to
rub against his legs, aud the number in
sight was so great that he began to feel
uneasy. One attempted TO climb his
legs, which familiarity he was by no
means disposed TO submit 10. He pull
ed the snake off, threw him TO a dis
tance, and began TO make for the shore.
Instantly snakes appeared from every
tuft OF weeds, clump Of lilies, and pile
of brush about him. They swan about
him BY scores. and commenced climbing
his logs and winding around his body.
The poo. man was in agony; as fast as
he pulled one snake off another wound
about him, and their efforts were so
great that he could scarcely make any
way toward the shore. At length, how
ever, he took out his knife, and began
cutting the snakes in pieces as they
climbed his legs and body, and after,
in this manner, severing dozen or 60
oI the reptiles, he reached the Shore
1t was terrible adventure, but perhaps
the man was well paid for it, for he had
a good story to tell for the rest of his
life.

The SLAVE TRADE The Lieutenant
Governor Of Sierra Leone, in a communi.
cation respecting the reception at That
place Of the Amlsad Capfives, has The
following interesting passage relative to
the slave trade:
81 am happy 10 acquaint you that the
destTculIUn Of the slave factories al Gal
lnas, IasI year, has not only been tine
most sever, bui has also been The most
efieclual blow which the slave trade in
this nelghborhood has ever received. -
By means of that aud by the rigid block
ade which has slnce been kept up in the
GaIllDas, the agent Of the most notorious
OF The slave dealers PEDRO BIanceJ has
already renounced slave trading. giving
Up to Que oi her Majesty cruisers all

not be fair to euqure too nicely into the
motives which have regulated Ills per-
sons conduct; whether 1t is 10 be altrib-
uled TO fear, 10 hopelessness ol return
OF the successful days Of the trade, or to
more reputable motives, or TO a mixture
of them, still the fact is such as 10 up

anlislsvery cause in their benevolent
endeavors. have been told that attempts
have lately been made TO rebuild tara-
coonsat GaiIlnas. These will no doubt
be destroyed, as The former were, and
there are good grounds o. hope that The
multiplied difficulties thus opposed to the
slave trade will, ere long, finally eXpeI
him from that quarter"
