A Natural Curiosity.

A correspondent Of the Spirit Of the Times,
writing from Tully, Lewis county, Missouri,
says-'I saw, yesterday, one of the greatest
natural curiosities now exstant-a snake
with two heads, one at each extremity
The body is about two feet long, and two
inches in diameter in the centre. The snake
is well formed, large in the centre, and gra-
dually tapers to each end, with two perfect
heads in every respect. But the most novel
thing to witness was it's actions towards the
gentleman that caught it, running one way
with as much ease, apparently, as the other,
with both tongues out, each raging apparenly y
with anger. | have no doubt many of your
readers will look upon this as snake story,
but it is fact and can be vouched for by
many Of our most respectable citizens"

Fascination and Manning.

An English paper relates the following un-
accountable occurrence:
One of the most singular instances in con
nection with material things, exists in the
case of young man who, not very long
ago, visited large iron mandatory. He
stood opposite a large hammer and watched
with great interest its perfectly regular
strokes. At first it was beating immense
Jumps of crimson metal into thin, black
shees but the supply becoming exhausted,
at last it only descended on the polished
anvil. Still, the young man gazed intently
upon it's notion then he followed it's strokes
with a corresponding motion of his head;
then his left arm moved to the same tune;
and finally, he deliberately placed his fist
upon the anvil, and in second it was smit-
ten to jelly The only explanation he
could afford was that he felt an impulse to
do it; that he knew he should be disabled;
that he saw all the consequences in misty
kind of manner; but that he still felt the
power within, above sense and reason-a
morbid impulse, in fact, to which he sue
cumbed, and by which he lost good right
hand

his blows more rapidly, until the savage lay
apparently insenside at his feet Falling
upon him, he grasped the Indians throat
with grip like vice, intending to strangle
him. He soon found, however, that the
savage was playing possum, and that some
movement was going forward, the purport
of which he could not Immediately guess
Following with his eyes the direction Of
the movement, he discovered that he was
trying to disengage his knife, which was in
his belt, but the handle of which was SO
short that it had slipped down beyond reach,
and he was working it up by pressing on the
point. Joe watched the movement with
deep interest, and when he had worked it
up sufficiently for his purpose, seized it, and
with one powerful blow drove it to the hilt
in the Indians heart, and he lay quivering
in the agonies Of death.
Sprnging to his feet Joe now bethought
him of the other red skin and looked around
to discover him. He still lay with his back
broken, by Joes ball, where he had fallen;
and, having his piece loaded, he was trying
to raise himself upright to fire it-but every
time he brought it to his shoulder he would
tumble forward, and again renew his struggle
Concluding that he had had enough fighting
for exercise, and knowing that the wounded
Indian could not make his escape Joe took
his way to the fort
Although he presented a truly awful sight
when he reached there-his clothes being
torn nearly off from his person, and covered
with blood and dirt from head to foot
yet his story was scarcely believed by many
of his comrades, who thought it one of Joe's
big stories. "Go and satisfy yourselves -
said he; and a party started for the battle
ground, where their suppositions were con-
firmed, as there were no Indians to be found,
and no evidence of them except Joe's dead
horse in the path On looking carefully
about, however, they discovered trail which
led them little distance into the bushes
where they discovered the body of the big
Indian buried under the leaves by the side O
a stump, and following on they found the
corpse of the second, with his own knife
thrust into his heart and his hand still grasp
ing it, to show that he came to his death by
his own hand. Nowhere could they dis
cover, however, the knife with which Joe
had killed the big Indian. They found it at
last, thrust into the ground, where it had
been forced by the heel of his wounded com
panion, who must have suffered the most in
tense agony while thus endeavoring to hide
all traces of the white mans victory

RECEPTION OF THE PEACE NEWS BY THE ARMIES
IN THE CR1MEA.-The Courier de MarseWe, of the
10th inst, publishes the following intelligence from
the Crimea, dated the 29th ult:
"The news of the acceptance of the Austrian uHi
1natum was at last announced to the army on the 22d
and only became known at Kamiesch on the evening
of that day. The delay in the reception OF the dis
patch was occasioned by the rupture of the subma-
rine telegraph. The news contrary to our eXpecta'
ton, produced very little sensation. 1t did not i'm
part to the camp greater degree Of animation than
usual and exercised no influence on the interests Of
the Kamesch merchants. This fact is accounted for
by the general incrcduty with which the re-estab-
lislment of peace was received. Nobody, says our
correspondent even believes in the conclusion ofan
armstice, for warlike preparations are proceeding
with unabated activity No reliance is placed in the
sincerity of Russia Those gentlemen of St. Pc
tersburg' exclaimed one of our officers, Are making
game of Us with their conferences. Those pointing
to the northern forts, which continued to fire upon
Sebastopo are the pacific dispatches addressed to
US by the Czar' The Russians have not interrupted
that cannonadc since the 10th, and for some days
Fort Constantine has poured in still greater number
| of its innocuoUs projeCtes. a. -
Are we to infer from that increased uproar that the
Russians know nothing Of what is going on or that
they glad of the opportunity to get rid OF their
anllnumton2 There is nothing changed IN the
camp where the greatest tranquility prevails. 1t was
lately rumored, and to-day it is generally credited
that corpse of army of 10000 men is toquit the
Crimea for destination still kept secret This corps
| will form complete army and the regiments com
posing it are said to be already named. Attempts
have been made to disturb the monotonyof the CAM
by fresh alerts to which the reports of deserters hav
given rise, but most of these men adduce such bat
reasons to justify their desertion that we are inclined
to believe that they sent by the enemy to spreat
alarm among the Allies. We did not require tllos
aerts to hold ourselves the qti uive, and we con
sequeutly begin opay little or no attention to tn
statements of those deserters.
