SEQUEL TO THE GILMANTIoN SNAKE
SToRY.-A paragraph was published in
the Boston Journal few days ago, sta.
ting that a little daughter Of Mr.. Hill, IN
Gilmanton, N. H., had been discovered
TO be on very intimate terms with two
black snakes, which she was accustomed
to visit and feed daily The Manchester
Mirror states that on Sunday morning
9Th inst, Mr.. Hill pursued and caught
the smallest of the Two snakes-abou
four feet ong-and bringing it home,
Gagged it in sugar box, where it is now
kept. Although it is very fond OF the
little girl, coiling itself about her lay itS
cross to the others Of the family, and re-
fuses food from their hands. The Mr.
ror says:
The little girl was asked if she was
not frightened when she first saw the
snakes. She said she was terribly
|
frightened; and when asked why she did
not run, she tried to but could not; she
also tried to scream Tor her mother, but
could not speak word. The idea is
that she was paralyzed by the magnetic
power OF the snakes. The first time she
remained with them very long time
could not tell how long. Alterward da-
y she staid with them several hours,
feeding them regularly. She says they
liked sweet things best, and that she stole
three cakes Of maple sugar that her
mother had laid away, and sweet ginger
bread whenever she could, to give them
The big snake would try TO drive the
small one away from her when fed, and
she cutfed him several times, and he re-
turned the compliment by taking her
fingers into his mouth several times
without doing much harm Consequently
she don't like this snake as she does the
other one, though he is generally fond o.
her."

ANOTHER SCnEME.--The Massilon
Ne~s says the present plan of operations
is 10 get Medill off the track, and to put
Gov. Wood on the ticket in his place.
Ofcourse there is no sensible man, that
has the shadow of hope that Medll can
be reelected. The entire ticket is al
ready beaten beyond the hope of recov-
cry, by an immense majority. The sub
stitution of Gov. Wood might encourage
few persons to hope for success, but it
would be fallacious The Republican
ticket is destined to triumph. No change
of front by the Slave Democracy can pre-
vent this from becoming a fixed fact
