A FIGHT-Thoy have a large rattle
snake in box, at Dilleys on the square.
A few days ago, halfgrown rat was Civ
en- to his snakeship for supper, when reg
ular battle took place. The poisonous
fangs of the snake had been extracted, SO
that the fight was somewhat equal, but al
though large enough to swallow such 'frit-
ties lch0lc; he came off second best, with
the loss of his rattles. The snake seized
the rat. and the rat broke away and at
tackled the snake, both becoming much
excited, until it became necessary to take
the supper away uneaten.
We never before heard of rattlesnake
attacking an animal, but have known
them to live nearly year in cage with
out eating, although mice were put in tc
tempt them. IIiAcS Barre T5ncs.

CBAMp-Those who may be subject in
the night time to that excruciatlng pain
called cramp, will be doubtless glad to
learn that by tying any kind of bandage
very tightly round the leg Immediately a
bove the knee, this unpleasant sensation
will be removed An other remedy-ex-
cite the action of the lungs by breathing
forcibly and taking long respiratlons; by
this means the whole system will be ami
mated, and perhaps in less than a minute
the disorder will be ahaled ana the pain

A FamilV Killed

\ correspondent of The Detroit Free
Press, writing from Pecatonica, Winnie
bago Co., H., on the l4th ult. says:
[ witnessed, yesterday, one of The most
melancholy scenes | ever boheld In the
town Of Lysander, one mile south of Pee
atonica depot, there lay enshrined in five
collins Mr.. Merchant, two sons and two
daughters, all Of whom were struck with
tightening during a thunder shower, about
? o'clock \, M.-lcaving in the family
only the wife and one son about eight
years old; they both being much injured
by the shock, the woman remaining me Mt
ally deranged, continually bemOaning the
loss of her family, The circumstances Of
their deaths ought to be d caution to the
public to manage differently from what
they did. The night being very warm,
they took off their beds and placed them
Oh the floor in a cool room, where stood
a stove, and the lightning, coming down
the stove pipe, divided on the stove hearth,
and struck the whole family of seven, Of
whom only two survived.

Riot at q Travelling Show.

a terrible row took place at Lynch
burg, Va, last week, between the show
men of Barnum smammoth exhibition and
the citizens of Lynchburg, resulting from
the great number Extra charges made,
Notwithstanding the published notice that
the whole was to be seen for fifty cents
1t was reported that five persons, two of
the citizans and three of the showmcn,
were very seriously if not fatally injured
and many others slightly, The affair
wound up by the entire demolition Of the
ticket Office and the destruction of its con
tents, together with no little incidental
damage to the show fixtures The scene
is represented to have been fearful, men,
women and children were assembled un-
der the huge tent, and the greatest con
sternation prevailed. Unable to leave
the tents, being in some cases deserted
by their protectors, and in all afraid OF
being shot or knocked down in the melee
the alarm Of the ladies was excessive.

The Late Hail Storm in Virginia

The editor Of the Clarksyille I5J0cc0
Ra,H recently visited the county of Lun-
enburg, and passed over the track Of the
late hail storm, and learned that it was
most destructive in It's effects. The road
in many places, was blocked up with fall
len trees Col Finch, of Christianville,
stated that great number of planters
sustained the almost total loss Of their
crops of tobacco and corn. He intimat-
ed that as many as 100 planters in Meek
lcnburg county had suffered to this ex-
tent. The hail stones, in some instances.
were as large as a goose egg, and one,
which was weighed eight or ten hours af-
ter it fell, was found to weigh five ounces!
Hogs, sheep and fowls were killed in num-
bers. Mrs DAILY lost 100 sheep. Alto
gethor, nothing was ever seen by the old
est inhabitants which could compare with
it. Boydton it seems. reaped the full fury
of the storm. All the glass nearly in the
city was broken out.
