LONDON. Monday, FEB. 20, 1000.
The coyrespondent of the OF Deutsehe Post, at
Cons!antinople, states upon authority, that the
total Of the losses of the AOglo-French army
aimee their arrival in the East, amounts to &C 600
French, and 40 900 English. The losses by death
are put down as amounting to Sc, 900 men. The
Hospitals at Constanlinople and the enyirons con-
tained II, 600 French and 1000 English soldiers.
The Russian Embassy, splendid palace, one Of
The finest buildings in Pera, has been transformed
into hospital and prison for the Russian wounded
and prisoners, and the furniture ia to be sold by
public auction In spite Of the protestation of the
Austrian Interruncio. No serious operations
were expected at Constantinople before the mid
die Of March, and the Turkish authorities felt
sure that the Transcaucasion army of Russia had
been 90 much weakened, as to be unfit for any
attack on the Turkish army, which continues
disorganlzed. Still serious apprehensions were
felt about Persia. as it was known that the Shah,
under the influence Of the distressing news from
the Crimea, was again more favorable to the
Russians. Denmark 10 likewise in sad fix. As
the Duchy Of Holstein beloogs to the German
Confederation, the King of Denmark ought now
likewise prepare for war, in consequence Of the
resolution Of the Frankfort Diet. But this pro-
pAratsn for war endapgeis the neutrality of the
Kingdom, and If Prussia ia indeed at the point, as
II is said, Of joining the Western Alliance, then

neutral. Under such circumstances all the

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF FAcINArIoS.--
About two weeks since little girl near six
years OF age, named Collista Hill, of Gilman
ton Centre, was searching for berries in the
field, when her attention was arrested by a
peculiar singing noise, and on looking up,
she perceived two large black snakes, one of
which was in an erect attitude and gazing
fiXedly upon her, accompanying its vbrato-
ry motions by, as she says, "a most bcauti-
full singing" She first attempted to run
but found herself utterly incapable of so do
ing. She then looked at the snake until she
became so pleased with il that she took it in
her lap, and held it until she thought it
asleep, and then fed to the house. For n
number of days she visited the snake I'M
known to her parents, who finally discover
ed her feeding it from her hands She con-
tinucd feeding regularly every day, becom-
ing more and more attached to it, until it
would wind itself about her arms and neck,
and even took food from her mouth Final.
ly she was prevailed upon to place it in
box, on condition it should not be hurt, and
in that it is still kept, except when being
fed. Hundreds in the vicinity have been to
see it, and it is the opinion of the medical
men who have seen her, that she is com
PietcIy fascinated, ana that the death OF the
reptile would prove fatal to her. Her pa.
rents have had many tempting offers to per.
init her to be taken about and exhibited
with the snake, but though they are poor,
they have sense enough to refuse all such
offers. The snake is over four feet long
We have the above from gentleman who
has visited the girl and received the facts
from her and her parents, and of course it
may be relied upon as substantially correct.

Car IouE lIAY.-The Agricultarist, (Or-
ange Judd, editor,) advises farmers to get
ready caps for their hay. 1t is timely.
"Most farmers are doubtless aware that
on an average, one-fourth Of the value of all
hay gathered is lost by its exposure to rain
and heavy dews. This loss may be saved by
simply being provided with supply of hay
caps. These can be made by pieces of com
mon sheeting, say yard and half square,
with the torn edges hcmmed, and a loop of
tape or string sewed upon each corner.
They would be rendered more ciiectual if
slightly coated with oil; or by dipping in
water made quite milky with chalk, or viii
ting, and after dipping them into alum wa
ter If prepared in the latter manner they
will shed water quite freely When grass is
cut down and put up in small stacks of two
TO four hundred pounds each, it can then be
protected by one Of these cloth coverings
the corners of the cap being fastened down
by thrusting little wooden pins through the
loops into the sides Of the stacks. Protected
in this way, hay can stand in the field UNI
harmed through rains and dcws till it is tho.
