According to correspondent of the Lynch
burg Republican, a citizen Of Smythe county,
George w. Richardson, by name, has for seve-
raj years past been pursued by malignant
and unknown foe, With the view, apparently,
OF murder, but for what object is complete
mystery. He has been assailed with rocks,
hred upon, beaten with club and stabbed,
during the hours of darkness; and yet he has
escaped with his life, although at times badly
injured personally Last summer, his barn
was set on fire and his crops destroyed, prob
ably by the same mysterious enemy, and re-
Gently package was sent to Mr.. r., which was
found to contain large apple; but he forebore
to taste until be had examined il, and well for
him was it that he did so--for the apple was
thoroughly poisoned with arsenic. During the
last month, while Mr.. R., was visiting rea
tive IN Marion, negro left word for him that
his aunt was lying dangerously i'll some three
miles distant He Immediately repaired to the
place, and found his aunt perfectly well. Con
Guiding that there was plan to way.lay him
on his return, he determined to remain where
be was. During the night he lay down to sleep
near window, but was soon afterwards
awakened by the report Of pistol, and a smart
sensation Of pain in his face and head. 1t was
soon discovered that he had been fred upon
through broken glass in the window, and that
the ball had barely grazed the skin of his head
and lodged in the pillow. This last outrage
has so greatly aroused the indignation Of the
citizens OF Smythe, that every conceivable
effort will now be made to discover the fiendish
author of these foul designs. This is certainly
the most remarkable instance of persevering
vfilainy and miraculous preservation from
death that we ever heard Of

Death OF Another American In Russia.
DR.. Charles A. Deninger, of Reading, Penn
sylvania, recently died of Cholera in the Crimea.
He was a surgeon in the Russian service, and
young man Of fine promise. The Reading
Gazette mentions the following brief incidents
of his death
q He had made an appointment to spend an
evening with his comrade, DIR. Jones, of Balti-
more; went, and found him Frustrated with
sudden and violent attack of cholera He re-
NAMED with him all night, and rendered him
every assistance that professional knowledge
and friendly interest could suggest, but not
withstanding all he sunk rapidly and died.
Very soon after DIR. Deininger was himself
seized with the same terrible malady, and in
spite OF all the efforts Of his brother surgeons,
he, too, died, after an illness Of only eleven
hours. lie retained full possession Of his fac
ulties until the last awaited death with Chris
tan composure and breathed but a single re-
greet, which was for the loved ones in his far-of
home, whose grief the tidings of his departure
would occasion he could well imagine. His
body was deposited in the same grave with
that Of DR.. Jones, and the funeral services
were performed by clergyman of the German
Lutheran Church, of which Dr. Deninger was
baptised member.
ExTRAoRDINARY Discovery - ENORMOUS
SNAKE-More than four months since, the
Seringapatam arrived at this port from Aus
tralia, consigned to Messrs Milesis and King
ton. portion of the cargo consisted Of seye-
raj tons of wooden rags, packed in bales, by
hydraulic pressure, which were housed at Bald
win street Hall, the warehouse of Messrs.
James Bush q Go. Yesterday, in unpacking
one of these bales, the workmen were suddenly
alarmed by strange Kissing noise, and upon
examining as to the cause, huge snake, fully
five feet in length, sprang out of the bale, and
made its escape among other goods in the
warehouse. As it has not yet been captured,
of course we are unable to state anything as
to the species, but from the fact of the Serin-
gapatam having left the shores of Australia
more than seven months ago, this is another
and strange instance of the tenacity of reptile
life under the most strange and apparently i'm
possible circumstances.-B Bristol Eng) Mr..
