the act of passing the chain used in hosting the tim
her, when he received the deadly blow. Mr.. Paris
who near by, states that in about five minutes
after the accident, his face, scalp and tongue,
enormously swollen. the latter protruding between
the teeth No other swelling visible (not even the
hands) when | arrived except slight enlargement Of
the abdomen.
A little boy, who assisted him in hitching up the
timber states that it rattlesnake, but the i'm
perfect description would have left in doubt to
the character Of the snake but for the size and
the rapidly fatal symptoms produced. Difference
between the insertion of the upper and lower teeth
fully one inch-truly a monster. After Jim was
conveyed to house, search made for the snake.
but without effect-having been by the little
boy to make his way off | know but little of their
natural history, but have been told by persons as

This horrid and untmely death should caution

The particulars of of love unreciprocated,
followed by dire vengeance came to our knowledge
on Saturday, Of which the following is something
like fair round unvarnished statement. We intro
duce fictitious name:
Mr. Jones, Lohariolike, was in the habit of paying
his addresses to two young ladies at the one time,
calling on them on alternate evenings. Miss Sprig-
gins and Miss Smith the two pretty-m,slinerS,
(neat title, and novel, amt it y the latter of whom
had decidedly the affections of MIR. Jones in her
keeping while Miss Springging, from the attention
bestowed fancied she was the lone star which guild
ed MIR. Jones' destiny. In short, neither knew of
the other each believed herself beloved and looked
upon herself in the light of the future Mrs j., and
was supremacy happy in her bssful ignorance. But
a cloud burst over the tranquil pair and jealousy
took possession of Miss Smith She discovered that
she had rival-that rival was pretty, and Sprig-
gins Oh !! torture of heart; oh ! racking of nerves
oh sleepless night: and oh anxious day. She
would die by arsenic, BEDFORD her fathers razor
the Mississippi, charcoal, anything or every thing,
to rid her of life become hateful by the perdy of
Jones' But then the happy scenes OF by cones fitted
before her, when John and she would ramble on
sunny evenings and-speak of their love, true as it
then was and their fond future this came up be-
fore her vision, in its beautiful harmonizng spirit of
peace and the relenting tear coursed slowly down
her cheek, she determined to give him dose of ja-
lap.

mother in the dreadful secret mixed the potent
cathartic in tie beverage which cheers but not in

Kissed the abhorred name of Matilda Spriggins in
his tingling ears. She shouted that he poison

sensible man. He acknowledged his Inconsistency

enough! the stomach pump was applied, Jones was
rescued. Three days since, Miss Smith became
