A SNAKE IN A PRAYER KERTING

Last Friday, at the usual weekly PRAYER
meeting, held in the basement of the First
Congregational Church, a striped snake made
| its appearance under circumstances of sin
gular character. The meeting was held in a
room from which door opens into the base
ment of the tower in which the town clock is
wound up. That door was left a little omen.
and soon after the meeting had commenced.
the snake made his appearance. Most sineu.
tiarly indeed, our worthy Deacon had read the
chapter which gives an account of the Brazen
Serpent made by Moses. He had just com
menced making some remarks on the chapter
and was speaking of the Serpent being lifted
up so that all the bitten lsraeltes might see
him and be healed, when the serpent of which
we are writing made his appearance on the
top of the door opening into the basement of
the tower. aHa s5 aai 9fl's
How he erawledsup there, no one can tell;
but there he was on the top of the door, his
head and about one-half OF his body hanging
over into the room just in rear ofthe Deacon's
chair, and plainly to be seen by all in the room
except the speaker The serpent on the door
at one became the observed of all observers.
The young ladies present. in particular, watch
ed every motion with the closest attention.
As its body slowly writhed and twisted about,
its forked tongue and snakey eyes glistened in
the light ofthe prayer room, with malicious
envy, we may suppose, akin to that with
which the serpent in olden times gazed upon
the happy and pious worshippers in the Gar
den OF Eden. Unlike Eve, her daughters have
. mortal dread of snakes. Once, too seIfrely- |
ing, deceived, beguiled and ruined by the |
wiles ofa serpent, they have ever since mani |
tested, at his approach, an inyincible repug- |
nance and horror
Deacon Morris, who was speaking, soon dis |
covered that something was wrong, and the |
exercises were suspended till a brother could |
get broom and push the snake off from the |
top of the door and dispose of it. The meet
ing was then conducted as usual. '3el

AND SEVERAL IN a CRITICAL CeNDIrIoN.---A
most larnentable and singular affair occurred
in this city this week. On w ednesday even
ing last. party offriends were invited to take
tea with the family of Mr.. James Steele. and
Jail enjoyed themselves, and returned to their
homes in good faith. During the night, every
one of tAe party, including Mr. Steele's family
were taken violently ILL and sent for theirtre-
spective family physicians. Since their first
attack, they have all undergone the most In
tense suffering, and give positive evidence Of
having been poisoned. aafsiI Eo4g tHeassvo7g.
AS yet, the nature Of the poison, nor the
manner in which it was taken, has not been
ascertained. The following is a list of ths uu.-
fortunate sufferers: i~sh - -

RoUGH AND READY, Warren Co., Tenn(
a9iasi-f is1 lI o. August 6, 1866. :.
SIR: Presuming foom the tone of the public
press of Great Britain that the Government is
still desirous Of obtaining the services of seye-
raj thousand men to recruit her army in the
Crimea Il respectfully submit the following
proposition to your Government. -.g draas
1. If the Government of Great Britain will
give me $1,520,OO0, will raise and march a
division Of 5000 men to the various ports in
the United States, from whence they may be
shipped to the Crimea or elsewhere.
2. That the British government confer upon
me the rank of fmajor general, with the inde-
pendent command Of the said troops, and that
said troops Shall select their officers from
among themselves, and be commissioned in
their respective grades by the Queen.
3. That said troops shall not be enlisted for
a longer period than during the war or five
years, at the expiration of which they shall
be shipped to the United States, and be dis
charged. ~" .''"% & 42
f. That said troops receive the same pay
and enoluments as troops of the British line.
5. That the stipulated amount of 81 800
900 be placed in the hands of special agents
or bankers in the United States, TO be drawn
as the men are delivered, in proportionate rate
TO the number of men Delivered 3ao 7yGs
6. That the British Government agree to
hare said troops shipped from the ports as
which they may be delivered within ten days
after their arrival, or bear all losses by deser-
ton, cost &c. \ r-e. o+-.
z. That if the number exceed 6,0oo, then
the same proportIoned ratio be paid for the
overplus. - aaL .lB7se sls ol 3Zeg 55l11
Your excellency will perceive at once the
impossiblity of enlisting Americans to serve
under British officers those men, if enlisted,
wilt do SO under a state Of excitement and
love of change; hence their immediate ship
Inent will be necessary. q % a4gs5 Ef.s 5fls
Our treaty obligations with Russia can Be
handsomely Graded.
Your exceIlency's opinion on the above by
return OF mail, if possible, will oblige, &c.
