A Question for the Curious-A snake I'm n
Hens egg.

There at least some things in heaven and
earth that have scarcely been dreamed of in
mans philosophy, and are certainly beyond his
capacity satisfactorily 10 account for. We have
an instance in point A hens egg was shown to
us, at Luray, a few days ago, which has the per-
feet representation Of a snake raised on the shell,
in full coil, on the smaller end. No artist could
have produced more exact representation Of a
serpent. The forked tongue, the eye, and SYM
metrical proportions, are as fully developed as in
the real snake. Unfortunately, the shell Of the
egg was broken, when il was discovered that the
indenture, on the inside, contained what appear
ed TO be a bona tide snake. IL was as perfect, in
every respect, the representation referred 10
the she'll 10 was carefully taken out and put in
a glass vial in spirits, and may be seen at the
hotel Of Mr.. a. j. Mckay, in Luray.
This egg presents TO the mind Of the philoso-
phic inquirer a curious question for solution
Various opinions are entertained relative TO this
singular freak Of nature. Some suppose that is
a real snake, but are most provokingly puzzled 10
know how it got into the egg. Others solve the
mystery in the same manner that other unnatural
developments in the animal kingdom, that arc
witnessed daily, arc solved. The human form,
for instance, is frequently disfgured by represen-
tatons of fruit, vegetables, and even animals
that were desired, dreaded, or greatly feared, so
intensely so as 10 make the most vivid impression
upon the mind. The snake had no connection
with the vital principle or germ Of the egg, but
was formed between the membranous covering
and she'll, and was entirely independent Of both.
This is a curious question, and we submit the
facts, as above stated, for the consideration Of
those who take an interest in such matters.

err to Retain his Slave.
Extract of letter from correspondent at
Dresden, in Saxony, dated the 18th Of last month:
'sI have taken the liberty TO acquaint you with
a most singular decision which was given yester-
day, and particularly confirms our fugitive slave
law. As the decision emanates from the highest
tribunal Of the kingdom of Prussia, it is certainly
an authority which may be successfully quoted
hereafter II appears that Dr. Ritter brought
with him to Berlin, Prussia, negro slave which
he had purchased in Brazil. All the proceedings
which are so often and successfully had in the
free States, were Immediately instituted by the
European Abolitonists, and although the slave
was first declared TO be free, rather the owner
prevented from taking possession of him, it has
been decided, after full investigation, that the
case has to be adjudged according TO the ler loci
and the application of the slave has been refused,
and he has been remanded TO his owner. As far
as my information on the subject, after diligent
inquiry goes, this is the first ever decided in
Prussia; and it is, therefore, fully conceded that
the owner of slave may bring him with him TO
Prussia, and there retain him, and again extract
him as a slave"
