The Sydney Morning Herald, of April 29th,
has the following Zone day last week, Mr.
Hawthorne, of Singleton, was out riding in
the bush. when, seeing Kangaroo rat, he
chased it, until, at last, the animal took
refuge IN the hollow limb of tree. He i'm
mediately thrust his hand into the hole to
catch 1t, but as quickly pulled it out, as some
thing had bitten his finger. On looking at
his hand, he saw death adder clinging to his
niger. No time was to be lost; and, Mr.
Hawthorne, with the utmost GOODNESS and
fortitude, Immediately took his penknife. aud

LOST LUGGAGE ON RAILRoADs.-Peo pie in.
the United States are rather careless of their
lives when travelling, but they are great
deal more careless of their luggage. Every
railroad company has a depository, in which
are placed allthe trunks, boxes, carpet bags.
and parcels, that are not claimed BY passen-
gers, and these accumulate with surprising
rapidity. Under the law of New York. ali
such unclaimed articles may be sold when
they have remained on hand for more than
year, and the New Y ork Central Railroad an :
nounced such sale to take place on the 18th
Of August. They advertised a list of no less
than two thousand one hundred and six arti-
Giles that had accumulated during the years
1852, 1858, 1854, and 1866. In these were
comprised trunks, boxes, chests, portman.
teaus, yalises, carpet bags, band boxes, hat
boxes, bags, bundles, and packages of every
size and description. About half of these are
n OF marked in any way, while others are only
marked imperfectly by initials or cyphers..
The aggregate value of these articles and their
contents must be many thousands of dollars.
On all the railroads in the United States there
must be annually some hundreds of thou
sands of dollars worth of personal property
lost or abandoned in this way. st
