Snakes aud Alligators.

IN speaking OF the lnundatIon OF the
upper part of New Orleans and Of the
country around it, the New Orleans
Bulletin of the 22d ult., says:
"We would advise all who live in the
inundated districts to beware OF the
gangs of snakes, which, driven out by
the water, seek the shelter Of tlouses.--
Already we have heard of several per.
sons being bitten, Zone of whom died3
and in consequence we deem it proper
to advise our friends to keep bright
look out for the reptiles. All who
know their habits, understand well
their penchant for comfortable coil
between the sheets Of beds, or snug
retreat under the pillow, and any one
must certainly allow that in either case
they would be dangerous bed-fellows.
We therefore recommend thorough
search before retiring at night"
Tie New Orleans Delta thus speaks
of an othsl description of reptiles, less
dangerous perhaps, but not less loath'
some, one of whom paid visit 10 the
negroe quarters Of Col. Claiborne.

The Crevasse.-The quarters OF Col.
Claiborne, near Sauve's Crevasse, ale
some four feet under water. Night be.
fore las. a veteran alligator from ST..
Tammany concluded to paythe Colonel
a visit. Taking ii: course quietly
through the cornfeIds and pastures, ne
thought it would be polite to call at ihs
cabin of the "driver," or head man, and
inquire if the Colonel was at home.--
Finding the door closed, he walked un-
der the house, and beloved halloo! al
the top of his voice. Getting no answer,
he commenced q tremendous founder
ing and humping, lifting up the floor
ing, and scattering the little "niggers''
in every direction. The hubbub soon
reused the sleepers. They jumped out
Of bed in terrible stew, raked up a
ligh!, and at the same moment were
sent pouncing among the rafters, the
visitor underneath lifting up one plank
and then another, flinging the whole
crowd off their legs as fast as they
could straighten them out. e..a.
Such scene of confusion was never
witnessed. The darkies were com
pletely bewildered, and their outcries
soon drew the whole establishment 10.
gethe.. The planks were drawn up
and there was--not Old Nick--but 9
fellow much uglier, tremendous ALI
gator, with expanded jaws, shaking hi
monstrous tail in defiance, and sweep
/ ing it around in rapid semi-cifcles.-
The instant he was discovered, tw'
| huge dogs leaped upon him, but tn
contest did not last for a moment
One he struck dead with his sweeping
tail, the other he craunched between
his bloody jaws. BY this time the ne
groes got their dander up. They rush
ed upon him with axes, mauls, and biud
geons. The monster stood his ground
and s'never said die,n until one Of then
thrust burning brand down his ietl
throat. He is Of enormous girtb, an
measures over fifteen feet.
