DEATH FROM TIE BITE oF COBRA DE
CAPELLo."-A curious case is related in the
London papers,of a man named Girling, who
died from the effects of a bite from the SER
pent known rs the "Cobrl de Capello,"
kept on exhibition at the Geological Gar
dens. II appears that the diseased was en-
ployedin the Gardens, and one morning, af-
ter spending the previous night in an ale
house, came to the Gardens to attend TO his
usual duties, and passing through the reptile
room. rashly took the Borco snake from its
cage put il in his bosom. The reptile crawl
ed round his body from left to right, without
injuring him, and was placed by Girling in
the cage. He then exclaimed, now Tor the
COBRA" and took the ycnemous reptile from
/ its cage, and did the same thing with it,
/ But taking it again into his hand, however
! to replace il in the cage, the snake made
dart at his face, and bit him on the nose
infiicting six small incissi0Ts with its fangs
four on one side OF his nose and two on the
other. Girling became almost Immediately
insensible, and notwithstanding every rem
edy was resoFted to, he died ina very short
time. His face was livid, and his respira-
ton very imperfect. No stmulants were
given, as he was unable to swallow. The
action of the heart was kept up by artificial
respiration forty minutes after natural res-
pirstion had ceased, but galyanism had no
effect. 1t was shown during the inquest
that diseased had in his possession prepar-
alton given him by Mr.. Mitchell, which was
a sure antidote against the bite, but which
it is supposed, he did not think OF atthC
time the bite was given.

The SNAKE AND THE CRoooDILE.-The

The SHAKE AND THE CRocoDILE.-The
following thrilling account of an engage
ment between boa constructor and croc-
odile IN Java, givep by an eye witness:
1t was one morning that stood beside a
small lake, fed by one Of the rils from the
mountains. The waters were clear as crys-
tai, and everything c9u.d be seen to the
very bottom. Stretching its limbs close
over this pond, was a gigantic teak tree, and
in its thick, shining, evergreen leaves, lay a
huge boa, in an easy coil, taking his morn
ing nap. Above him was a powerful ape oi
the baboon species, a leering race of scamps
always bent on mischief.
Now the ape, from his position, saw a
crocodile in the water, rising to the top, ex-
actly beneath the coil of the serpent. Quick
as thought he jumped upon the snake, which
fell with splash into the jaws of the croco-
die The ape saved himself by clinging to the
limb of the tree, but battle royal immedi.
ately commenced in the water. The serpent
grasped in the middle by the crocodile, made
the water boil by his furious contortions.-
Winding his fold round the body Of his an.
tagonist, he disabled his two hinder legs, and
by his contrnctions, made the scales and
bones of the monster crack.
The water was speedily tinged with the
blood of both combatants, yet neither was
disposed to yield. They rolled over and
over, neither being able to obtain a decided
advantage A this time the cause of mis-.
chief was in a state ofthe highest ecstacy.-
He leaped up and down the branches of the
tree, uttered yell, and again frisked about
At the end of ten minutes silence began
to come over the scene. The folds of the
serpent began to be relaxed, and though
they were trembling along the back the heaC
hung ffeless in the water. ..'F
The crocodile also was still, and thougl
only the spines of his back were visible, il
was evident that he, too, was dead. The
monkey now perched himself on the lowe
limbs of the tree, close TO the dead bodies
aud amused himselffUr ten minutes il
making al! sorts Of faces at them. Thi
seemed to be adding insult to injury. One
of my companions was standing at II shor
distance and taking stone from the edge
OF the lake, hurled it at the ape. He wa
totally unprepared, and as it struck him OF
the side Of the head, he was instantly tippet
over and fell upon the crocodile. A few
bounds, however, brought him ashore, an
taking TO the tree, he speedily dsappeare
among the thick branches ...

Fox and Wisconsin rivera large share OF
the Upper Wisconsin waters passed through
the canal into Fox river. 1t is said that the
volume of water, which has ever since flown
into the latter river, is equal to sixty feet in
width by three feet in depth; and, conse-
quently, the Wisconsin waters have been
drawn off to an equal extent. Some time
elapsed before the inhabitants along the riv-
cr discovered the cause Of the unprecedent-
ed fall but the facts were at length dlscov-

scarcely been to reasonable bounds Meet
